    Sorry, I need your physical address so I can add you to my mailing list for my newsletter.  I'm going back to the old-school ways.

    Seriously, think about what is now a meme-joke phrase -- "I am intrigued by your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your newsletter."  That's literally how shit like the JFK and vaccine stuff used to get disseminated.  It's social penetration was miniscule.  Now, that same "newsletter" turns into a post that is shared 20 million times.

    I am a nomadic social media influencer so I do not have or believe in a physical address or the mail.

  2. The hispanic guy who works in the building just gave his video recorded testimony.  It was a classic.

    He is sitting in his car doing this on his phone and at one point starts driving around.  

    Oh and his testimony was I don't know shit, I didn't see shit, I didn't hear shit.  This is a man who knows how to keep his mouth shut.

    I also question why people believe Elon would have any real incentive to kill the bots and/or change how the AI works.  It will kill what little money Twitter makes.  Unless he really intends to throw 44 billion down the drain, his proposed cures will likely kill revenue.  Removing bots = removing a fuck ton of ad revenue.  Stopping the AI from pushing people into fringe shit = reduced traffic, which will lower ad revenue.  

    I do recall seeing Elon in an interview that AI is the biggest threat to mankind.  So the removal of all the AI on twitter might have something to do with his revamping plans.  But who the fuck knows what Musk is going to do.  He is a wildcard that is actually pretty entertaining to watch.

  4. Social media has also launched new careers that require no actual talent or hard work to achieve.  The millionaire youtube stars, and influencers that have made a shit ton and have inspired tons of young people that they can do this as well.  Now the world is overflowing with wanna be social media stars that are somewhat pathetic.  Clever to use SM to make a great deal of money but in many cases it is acquired with no actual sweat and blood.

    I've said for years that social media is a detriment to society and still believe it yet here I am, mostly for the football talk though. I have seen so many people lose their jobs just over social media it is insane. It is like a drug for some people. Just wander over to the CR and you will see countless examples.

    Yep.  I have a FB account but barely use it.  No twitter, insta, snapchat or any other social media stuff.  Everyone is somebody now, or trying to be, living their fake made up lives and posting it to see how many likes they get.  I don't see the draw.  I post here and read other boards but this is not real life, this is the internet.  I do not post every damn thing I do every day on SM.  I go on my trips and don't post about them, I do cool stuff, don't brag about it.  So many moths to the flame.

    Wife and I have a theory that the more people post about how awesome their lives are, the more miserable they are in real life.  There are some examples here, but they are all over FB etc.

  6. Ok, finished Season 1.  By the way it ended I assume they did not expect a season two.  Looking forward to starting season 2 and getting caught up.

    And yes, she gets hotter the older she gets.  I also find it ironic she is the spokesperson for Smirnoff and an alcoholic in the show who drinks vodka.  But damn she seems like she would be a blast in real life.

    This is a difficult topic, as almost all of my family is equally embarrassing. As I have mentioned in other threads, my mother's side of the family is a complete trainwreck.

    My maternal Grandmother had 4 children, whom she decided to name Sherry, Jerry, Garry, and Larry. My maternal Grandfather died at a young age from chronic alcoholism. There are too many grandkids and great grandkids to count, but they are all equally fucked up in their own right. 3 People in this family have managed to get a college degree, me, my son, and my daughter. The rest of the lot still reside in various parts of Ellis County, so beware when you travel through that area.

     

    Sherry - the oldest of the lot is a total Bible thumper with 3 children. She and her husband own the compound where several family members towed their homes to live. She has a set of 350lb female twins and an openly gay son who she disowned when he came out as an 18 year old at the family Thanksgiving dinner.

    Jerry - My mother...married 7 times, but single and lived with her mother and Garry for the last 15 years of her life. Over the years, she managed to talk me out of over $100K in loans, which I never saw a penny of. The last of the money was given to her before Christmas in 2007, so she could buy presents for my kids. My son got a book and a backpack, my daughter got a JC Penney's dress, and my mother bought herself a $400 digital camera to record the whole event. The irony of the camera purchase is that she did not own a computer to download the pics.

    Garry - The real gem of the group, a raging Redneck and Bigot. He has never held a steady job, and lived with his mother for over 30 years of his adult life. When his mother passed away, it took Garry a whole 3 weeks to fall asleep while smoking and burn the beloved trailer house down. He now lives on the compound, in a travel trailer that he affectionately refers to as the "Pussy Palace." Garry is an alcoholic, and a pot head. He inherited the above mentioned trailer when his mother died. After the fire, he was given a little over $30K in insurance money (this was a really nice place. LOL) He spent most of the money on pot and budweiser, but managed to save enough to purchase a used 24' travel trailer as his dream dwelling. His son spent 14 years in the state prison, for manufacturing and selling meth. My brother was one of his main customers.

    Larry - Looks like Bozo, but with black hair. Worthless as the rest of the family, but somehow thinks he is above them. He has been on disability for about 20 years, though none of know exactly why.

     

     

    I will try and come back later and post a few Uncle Garry stories.

     

     

    Is your last name Gergich?
