Besides some of the rules that make no sense like bars can’t serve alcohol unless they serve food also type shit is weird but what absolutely baffles me is how people will go out of their way, exert energy (negative towards me instead of positive towards yourself) to tell me that my mask is useless or calling me a sheep or some bullshit. Like-let me mind my muh fuckin business. How does me wearing a mask affect you so much that you feel that need for confrontation? But seriously, how can you be mad that it is legal/acceptable to walk around like this?

I’ve been off social media completely for 6 months. I only had Instagram for years tho. Had legitimate withdrawals when I got rid of it for good. Shit is a drug. It is just as harmful. But you can’t measure mental harm as easy as physical. My girl and I are both off it. She brought up a good point, as far as it’s effect on relationships is concerned. She said, for a girl, social media is like being at the bar, but every guy has your number. Which I can definitely attest to. The amount of times I got laid from social media in the past is ridiculous. You can talk to anyone with zero effort. No fear of rejection. How are healthy relationships supposed to happen when we all have secret online lives where we have contact with every person we’ve ever met? Goes with political polarization too. It’s so easy to create extremism by manipulating the algorithms. Which I would 100% credit this whole antifa/proud boys bullshit to. It prevents us from thinking for ourselves. Manipulating your mind while making you believe it’s independent thought. Fuck all of that. Glad Im off that bullshit. It’s actually the reason I came back to 12oz too. Some sort of social interaction without the toxicity.4 points

I think you've made a very important point here in what you said. I was not including 12oz and here's why: Misteraven isn't scraping our data and using it for his own gain while offering us the use of this "free service" in exchange. The major issue I have with the social media networks is their monetization of people as information.... without you ever really understanding fully what is going on. You're only profitable to them if you're on their platform, and if you're not then they cannot stand to gain much from you. I won't leave 12oz either unless there's some really compelling reason to do so and I don't consider this to be the same as social media. There are no ads here. There aren't any "algorithms" here. We're not deciding what you can say or cannot say at all.4 points

DHabz, are you including 12oz? If so then you win, because 12 is the only social media I have now and I will never delete my 12 profile (I like it here). As for all others, that's long gone, the past, pre-historic. I just do not see the big hype or why any social media CEO is even in the news. I think its frivolous to have sessions of concern with these guys. I mean, these platforms are information troves and the privacy concerns are easy topics to manipulate and play with the minds of the people. Just a bunch of pipe dreams 😴. Not sure if I nailed it on the head, or I am completely off topic. I didn't watch the video, just took it for face value, put current events together and made a post.4 points

At work dude I share an office with got it - 40yro said he was flu like for 4 days or so. Two other guys in office next to us got it - one hospitalized, had some health issues prior but said it felt like he was “on deaths doorstep”. His office partner said he stayed home but did have some respiratory issues that he didn’t particularly enjoy. Like @SMdoubleXL said I try and avoid the headlines and numbers because it fucks with my head. I credit that to all the extra curricular activities I had as a young kid - but regardless I do my best to avoid unneeded interactions. Growing lonesome and missing a bunch of my routine - but I am on the better safe than sorry team here. I have to go into work - we are required to mask up. Stay safe ooontz.4 points

I never participated on any social media platform other then the 12oz. So whenever the subject comes up on the news or in a group conversation, I just tend to tune myself out. News: facebook and twiterblablalah Me: turns off t.v. goes to fridge and grabs beer3 points

Never had any of these accounts ever and proud of that. From a legal perspective alone, lawyers have said if any of these social media sites were called snitchonyourself.com no one would use them, because that's what they are for the most part. Beyond that people still don't fully understand how their data is used against them, multiple other evils, blah blah woof woof. If you're out there staging an Arab spring, or raising money for some kid's cancer treatment, or finding a lost relative, have at it, but that aint most people.3 points

Me: Doesn't like a social media company, stops using their product. Everybody else: Doesn't like social media company, asks government to "fix it" for them. In all honesty the only one I still use is Twitter because it's kind of central to my interests.3 points

Good on you for that. I think having friendly neighbors is the very closest small circle of community you have to influence and be a part of.3 points

ive had some family members catch covid.. cousin had it bad but didnt need to be hospitalized.. her mother got it and was hospitalized but made it through.. another friend caught it but didnt need to be hospitalized but might catch it again since shes constantly making out with people at the bar and refuses to wear a mask.. one side of my girls family had it and didnt bother telling anybody attending her uncles funeral (thank god we didnt go) and now theyre all getting extremely worse.. weather or not you believe "the media hype things up" or whatever the hell the case is its pretty real out here in chicago.. regardless if you have to be hospitalized and on a ventilator or not its a real thing and alot of people are catching it and alot of them, pre-existing conditions or not, aren't making it through.. i know alot of things dont really make sense but just plz keep your hands washed and sanitized and wear the damn mask it really isnt as bad as people make it seem to be.. been thinking about buying one of those samurai half masks to go over my face mask just for fun.. like, if its mandatory to wear a mask might as well have some fun with it.. seen a guy downtown with a full blown storm trooper helmet on.. pretty sick if you ask me.. looked into some deadpool masks with magnetic eyes to change facial expressions but i dont wanna pay 300 bucks for a cosplay mask.. idk... overall, just stay safe out there guys.. its going on a year now lets plz crush this shit already..🖤3 points

I'm masking up all day. Typically at work I'll be in hospitals, retirement homes, factories, grocery stores, and homes. I'm not risking getting sick or spreading rona to others. I don't get angry when I see others not wearing a mask, it's your life. But I'm definitely keeping my distance and respecting others the way I want to be respected. On a side note, if there's one positive I can take from this fucked up situation is I've become good friends with all my neighbors.3 points

I personally feel dumb for ever participating in social media, or at least w/ FB. I think MySpace days were when things were still fun and harmless..... then FB came along and monetized the fuck out of it and turned it into data collection rather than a good idea for a place for people to meet up and discover friends. They are two similar platforms with very different goals (or at least that is how it appeared to me on the surface). The part that makes me reel back a bit is that I deleted my account from FB in 2013..... and I KNOW that everything I ever did on there is still saved. We're talking about MAYBE 500MB of data or something to store my entire account and history on there..... I think even that is a stretch. 500MB is .5 of 1T 1000T is 1P (petabyte) These companies have hundreds of thousands of petabytes of storage..... I would even venture to guess in the jigawatt range. Point being, my data that I gave to them.... it's forever theirs. I just made the decision years ago to cut off the tap.2 points

Still active in BJJ which I do usually 3 times a week when we aren't in quarantine. Kickboxing class here and there..... I enjoy gaming despite being a couple months shy of 40 - currently rocking Apex Legends and Last of Us II on PS4. Biking is another thing I dig, currently Mtn. but looking to get back into Road. I like listening to vinyl, writing, home improvement nerd shit. Live music when it is happening is a must.2 points

My dad had symptoms on saturday but nothing since then, hes currently waiting on test results, I saw him 5 days prior to that so planning on going to a testing site tomorrow to get tested, but I just saw a video of a local testing site which looked fucking crazy, people standing mad close to each other and a dude with his mask pulled around his chin, if shit looks like that when i get there i'll just try and go with one of the mail order options.1 point

I haven’t been watching numbers AT ALL. or that’s all I would think about. I questioned a while back -about knowing someone who had had it or even 6 degrees of covid. And for a while it was a no. I know of a relative in utah (late 30s) a client in Vegas (late 30s-asthmatic) and a friends two sons (early twenties). And now my daughters bf has tested positive and she just went for her test today. All are asymptotic except the asthmatic-and she was hospitalized and slow recovery. I don’t go around people anyway. When I do I mask up. We mask up at work because why the fuck not. I don’t know what my co workers do or their hygiene habits outside of work. I usually work in a room, By myself so I just slip my mask up when I’m working with someone. When I did nails for a living and a client would come in with even a simple cold I would send em away because I don’t want any ones fucking germs normally and I wash my hands any fucking way and (I do all of that for me and respect for others. The same respect I would want them to give me.) Just because there is a part In My head WHAT IF.1 point
