It helps to just turn off the internet. It's a waste of time at this point. If you remember in the late 90s early 2000s internet, you'll realize that the internet has become a steaming pile of dogshit. I remember the talks in 1994 about how it's going to increase the intelligence of the global populace. Boy....they were wrong.

If you notice, they've started to remove the comment sections in the news stories over the past year. This is not a coincidence. They don't like people speaking their mind.

LOL. At least the old fallacy that people are stupid because their access to information is limited has been finally put to bed.

Google started banning companies for having comments that disagree with the left.

Do we own our own thoughts anymore?

A philosopher said once, Humanity knows a lot of things but think very little.

I thought TV was bad ( ton of advertising, mindless fucking programs, bombarded with consumerism and atheism etc ).

The Internet turns out to be just as bad, but now the TV: sees you, ear you, watches you, knows what's on your mind and some would argue keep a database on you, through algorithms that are getting better and better. Life comes fast at you, the Matrix is becoming less and less of a sci-fi movie, the next thing you know you become a mindless NPC drone talking about: politics, sports, the weather and the riots instead of biting in life and getting out there.

I think eugenics might be on to something.

Yahoo just dropped its comments last week. No real reason why. Making sure that people don’t get opposing viewpoints seems to be the reason.

This tiny move of theirs went under the radar quietly, but look how profoundly it's impacting societies ability to share information.

I guarantee one of these kinda google employees plotted and schemed for this move:

It will be interesting to see if the massive advertising boycott has any effect on the bottom line. This period is so contentious, advertisers are staying on the sideline (until after the election?)

Yeah, I told them to eat a sack of shit in their survey.

Today had a very non political neighbor share his frustration. Even he noticed that Facebook and YouTube are deleting videos of anything that goes against lefts narrative. He’s fed up with lockdowns and with school closures. And realized that any information in disagreement simply is removed.

Was gonna mention this today.

I was looking for shit to watch with the wife, not too bloody for the kids, kinda interesting, but not 100% requirement of focus. Maybe some "Dottie McClusky disappeared from Kalamazoo in 1983 without a trace - except for one piece of surprising evidence."

I thought of the ol' Unsolved Mysteries, which I eventually found on Youtube but not before my wife insisted we find it on Netflix (they have a newer series).

Anyway, I looked in the search suggestion box next to the "New Unsolved Mysteries) - there was one documentary about some Hipster whinging his Dem lifetime Union Member Dad is now right wing, and another documentary about a Millennial groaning about the Rise of the Alt Right. There was also something about eating twigs and leaves to stop obesity and save the Snails or some shit.

Three Lefty things in 12 suggestions, when I was looking for mystery shit. They are pushing HARD.

It didn't suggest watching Netflix's new series about king Arthur called the Curse? Black Arthur and Morgana sound exciting? Perhaps two gay fey.

save the Snails or some shit.

lol

Several times a year I'm happy to have never spent a dime on netfux.

Then again, I'm not married though so...
