The riots have restarted downtown after a few days off. I see this really exploding here shortly.
Morning Ken, Bob, Mick, Chris, Rick and John.
Well at least you are getting some relief. I expect things to implode everywhere over the next few months as well. Scary times.

I watched an interesting documentary on Netflix this weekend called "the social dilemma" It's worth the watch and explains social medias depravity of ethics to make money. I recommend it.

I will second that recommendation. Eye opening and scary.

I've heard it's very good. It discusses the algorithms that get named after us from web browsing, and how they are used to draw us in to spend money and influence us. Not such a big deal for people like us, but they are heavy influencers in a child's life apparently. I've heard from some that they have closed their Facebook accounts after watching.

I'd close mine, but it's the only form of contact I have with my daughter right now

I don't do Facebook but have considered opening an account under an assumed name and letting everyone I care about know what that name is.

Not kidding on that, any other biz would be castrated for how they are making $. IMO they are the medium between instigators and the mob rule

I have given it some thought myself.

Social media is helping to kill this country.

I regret using my real name, that's for sure.

I think I may just drop that account and do what you are saying. I could live without it but it's where I get a ton of riding event info from.

I use my real name, but it's not the name anyone knows me by. Also, my face is not seen in the profile pick. Bob, what's your Facebook, ill add you.

Grandson fell asleep, I can relax for a few minutes. Granddaughter is watching Russian shows on youtube, she's watched so many she should be able to speak Russian now. How much has she learned? Less than the 3 words I know. Had a few things I wanted to do with her today, but I'm already so worn out it'll wait till next week. Maybe next month. Dare I try for next year?
