Online trends - do you know what is happening online? Do you care?

[swm59nj]

I keep up with current events, news, etc.  I’m not a big fan of Instagram, Facebook, especially Twitter. 
A person is going to do and keep up what interests them.  Just because a person has no interest in certain things.  Doesn’t make them ignorant.  
Now if a person says they have no interest in anything.  Except for booze, being a recluse, and complaining.  I would say that’s an issue

Sometimes I can't sleep. And then I watch an hour. And maybe the next day another hour. Maybe if I think long enough about the interviews then I recognize what makes them special. Somehow I know that sometimes the length makes them special in a way a short interview couldn't do. 

check out this video man.

its a couple who quit their job to travel around italy.

in this video, they are eating in a very expensive steak house in florence and drinking expensive wine. the entire video is them eating dinner. 

check out 5:14 of the video. the guy says "the donate us a pizza link is in the bottom" and his gf starts laughing.

these bloggers are getting people to donate money to them to pay for their travels by posting videos of themselves eating in restaurants.

i find this completely stupid that people give donations for this. 

 

this is a perfect demonstration of the idiocy of the modern social media generation - donating money to watch people eat in a restaurant. they're even laughing at their audience.

Thanks

I trust what you write, I don't want to look at it.

 

I have to admit I know such a person who watches videos from other people eating, my gf does that.

My gf is a good cook, and sometimes she watches videos how people prepare food. Fine.

But watching how other people stuff their faces with a microphone setup to amplify all those eating noises? Disgusting. But she, and others, watch it. Amazing...

Who among us has 4 hours to watch talking heads? Life is too short for myself to do that.

Must be a lot of people out there without a life, IMO.

Amazing, not really. When Big Brother was a "thing" on tv, they'd keep showing it when they were all asleep.

NB I would never ever actually turn on such a nauseatingly banal show, but it was on in a shop window and I was waiting for a bus at the time.

Went cycling for 25km this morning including 2 big hills, I'm pretty much done for the day and will sit around drinking and fiddling around on the internet/movies/music while lazing on the sofa. Normal day for a retired person IMHO.

Mu only further obligation today is to collect my kid from school at 4pm.

The only real change is access to unlimited sex age 52-70 Vs almost ZERO access to sex at age 18-52. Not to mention the ladies are 7-9s now Vs 4-6s then.

Doubt that. I have as much to do as I want, and most IMO would be like that.

Of course, it's different in LOS.

I fell out with the members only facebook page owner (bunnies are <deleted>) and deleted all my content. It's on several other 'members only' sites that Google can't view. I generally only post on private FB pages which you need to be a member to view.

It was widely shared but the public French site are infringing my copyright.

[spidermike007]

I am online alot, but don't care for Twitter, or Instagram, and refuse to watch Tiktok. 

 

I abhor the whole viral nonsense thing. It is a symbol of a declining culture. The more popular something is, the less interest I have in it.

I think climate change will bring about mass starvation, as IMO humans have exceeded their welcome on planet earth and seems to me that Gaia is gearing up to reduce our numbers.

yeah , climate change will cause all the places that are almost uninhabitable to be actually uninhabitable, and under the management of the woke, all the other countries that have  worked hard to become developed, will bankrupt themselves trying to fight nature.

Just leave things alone and let nature take its course, it's a much better idea, we don't all have to suffer.

millions of years of human existence and some people still build villages 10 miles or more from water!   There is no point or future  in helping people like that. Natural selection will save the planet, we are of no consequence in the long term or the great scheme of things

I also enjoy reading long books. Sometimes I think books are more interesting, sometimes videos.

I saw a video where they talked about issues like that.

100 years ago, many people died in natural disasters. Now very few (relatively speaking) die.

And often the people suffer who built i.e. near the sea and then a tornado destroys their house. Years ago, people were smart enough not to build houses in risk locations like that.

That reminds me of a Bangkok blogger. He also talked about "buy me a coffee".

I offered him to actually buy him a coffee in Bangkok. He never replied.

The problem is not that they don't like it. The problem is that bread can be a problem for their stomach.

Mostly nonsense.

Mine have been eating wholewheat bread (for treats) over the past 3 years with no apparent problems (2 slices between 4 rabbits during the day).

 

3 items listed in your link

1. not good for digestion, clearly nonsense as mine have no digestion problems.

2. will make them fat, one was fat when I got it, and it's still fat, the other 2 are the same size as they always were. Do you think my rabbits look fat?

3.  bread is often mouldy, more nonsense, they eat the same bread as I'm eating, no mould.

 

I also have always full food bowls (CBS-203 pellets) and they are free to eat whatever they choose from the garden. None of them overeat, if fact I'd say  restricting their diets and feeding times is more harmful than letting them graze 24/7 which is their natural feeding pattern.

I don't spay them either, it's unnatural.

And when given a free choice they will often choose to sit in a cage, despite the crazy women on forums shouting 'you mustn't cage them!' 

 

Back to the OP

Most online forums/FB pages are a total nightmare of restriction (mainly against men). I have to be very careful what I post on the 100% western female controlled rabbit sites. To post counter to their beliefs is usually an instant banning offense.

 

Last photo I posted (2 new rabbits in a transport cage), an admin approved the photo and published, the next admin banned me for posting a photo of rabbits in a cage WTF!

If I have 2 1/2 hours to spare, I'll watch a movie, or do something useful, but thanks for the suggestion.

Watching talking heads is just too boring for me now, and I usually disagree with some or all of what they are talking about, so get "dissatisfied".

I've tried watching some such, but usually turn off the tv as I can't stand it any more. Sometimes I wish there were an app that would slap people talking rubbish on tv.
