My father-in-law clicked an ad on Fb that advertised a set of Ryobi tools for way less than they are worth. He bought 2 at $200 a piece. It was clearly a scam. He ended up getting his money back. He stayed on Facebook all the way through his passing.
I remember thinking: Facebook is fine with people getting scammed and he had no problem staying on that platform. Why is Facebook letting that happen? If Fb is ok with it, why would you want to be on that platform?
It’s all fucked.
It’s all the same platform though, right,?
Agreed, but I knew a 12 year old girl that died of covid. Anecdotal, sure, but it doesn’t feel that way when it’s someone around you.
There’s not a lot of people here and I expect it to stay that way. I do not foresee the Fediverse growing that much, but I could be wrong.
“Here’s a bunch of lies. We are going to track the fuck out of your dumb ass.”
Exactly. I feel like I just need a break from all of the constant doom, misinformation, and anger.
I mean, I get that. It’s just frustrating that social media comments of doomerism and jokes are the same. Haha here’s another “worm brain”, “drink lysol”, and “ivermectin” joke. Oh, great. Another “we’re so cooked” comment. Those jokes were dusty in 2021.
I mean, here’s a comment on reddit with over 800 points in less than an hour:
Already multiple people have tested positive. I think its more contagious than they proclaim. Supposedly you need to be family-level close to get contaminated but this seems not to be the case here
This is just some guy on reddit saying shit. This isn’t a conglomerate of international health experts. Hell, this could be a bot.
I don’t think you are wrong, but stand by for an argument.
I’m going to get downvoted for this, I’m sure but I’ll be the one to ask, I guess. If the World Health Organization, who is an international group, says that this is not something that is worth panicking about then why are the newsmedia and comentors panicking?

This shit is scary and every thread I found on reddit it just Anti-Trump circlejerk and jokes like, “HERE WE GO AGAIN!” I’ve seen “experts” coment that it’s not virulent and commenters claim that the infected spent less time around other infected people, so it is more virulent than the news says. I get that the CDC is compromised, but can we not trust the rest of the world’s experts?
With the way media is portraying this situation, we are somewhere in between “this happens from time-to-time” and “half the population on Earth is about to die”.
I get that you are joking, but for that to happen hundreds of millions of people are going to die. Is that what you want?
Trump said that about Iran too

A bum is what the UK might call a “jankie willy nillydoo” or some shit, I bet.

Kids growing up today will never know
It’s funny that the author chose to use Tony Soprano in their article, because one of my favorite quotes from that show was when Tony said, “Remember when is the lowest form of conversation.”
Kids growing up today have a different childhood and will have their own “Remember when” on the internet.
