Social Media

I stopped using social media because of the a tsunami of idiocy that came for me when i did.

It is Angryville, and I decided that I just didn't need it.

And if I want to talk to my friends, dear god (used ironically) I will call them up.

You know, it's not that I find any of it offensive, it's really because all of it is just not very interesting. Listening to dopes sprout rubbish thinking they are being clever, when probably a lot of it isn't even true. Yawn.

Who needs it.

I lost one friendship because she, a fitness nut, thought Daniel Andrews was Hitler because he stopped her going to the gym during the pandemic. She raved and raved and raved on about it until I couldn't hold my tongue any longer. She took offence.

I lost another friend because I question what the difference was between aboriginal dream time and Christian mythology. The context was climbing Uluru. I said I had climb it many years ago as a kid with my parents and because of that I'm happy to never to climb it again, but if I had never climbed it, I couldn't promise I wouldn't just view it as a large rock to climb. She didn't like that.

I lost another friend because he had a stroke at a very young age and he thought I'd said something which I didn't say. He admitted that was true, that he sometimes got confused, but our friendship died anyway.

I lost another friend who started spewing conservative racist talking points and I told him he was a racist and he didn't like it.

This is the only social media that I do. Is this social media?

I dunno.
