Anyone else get the feeling for some time now, since covid, that suddenly the world just feels so upside down? Somehow we just woke up one day, found
ourselves no longer allowed to go outside on authority of the highest order - in a free country.
Once we allowed to step back out into the sunshine, we didn't seem to have anything changed. The rules were the same. But something was very, very
different. Suddenly, at least from my perspective, even though the rules were the same, no one followed them and if you pointed it out, you were set
upon as though you had broken the original rule you had pointed out. Confusing, yes, I am confused too.
Somehow everywhere, no one was following the rules and it was against the new unwritten rule to follow the written rule.
Road rage appears to be a thing that's discussed and oddly blamed on different things through out the year. First it was because people were not
used to being out. Then people were not used to each other. Now the news is saying it's the heat. One thing has stayed the same and it hasn't
been the excuse.
Btw.. We seem to live on excuses today. That's the problem. Our new generations are generations of excuses.
Before I go too far off - I'll get back to the point. The media, I feel is right at the front of it all. Perhaps not calling the shots but
certainly making it happen.
It's rumored that media as well as other companies, are using AI to filter their comments with extraordinary success. Who needs russian trolls when
you have AI? AI will retort - it will spin. It's "smart" enough to use all of the tactics that a troll would use to stop you from posting against
it's lie, make you you silly, push the lie, comply with the narrative.
Hogwash? Anyone who enjoys reading the comments (and tries to play along) to a lot of the big media news sites can probably attest.
We'll use Yahoo as an example. Granted, this isn't a one time thing. This is pretty common and you can see examples of it often if you
"participate".
After 10 years together, my wife and I divorced because our
relationship had simply wound down. It's sad, but I'm also relieved.
Fascinating click baity article, wouldn't you say?
Story goes that hubby and wife are fed up after 10 years and call it quits. You see this big mug of the guy with a big smile. They played it off
like
"They just we'ren't feeling it so they just called it quits after 10 years". No biggie right?
Ok - WARNING
This branches off into two major issues here. You'll see shortly.
First, the urge to want to say something like:
- Good for you! You failed and you gave up!
- Good for you! Marriage is not for everyone.
- Good for you! You've both grown as a couple and now apart.
or whatever. Only one of those are permittable. Yahoo doesn't like for you to say:
- Things that will hurt other's feels. (It will actually say this - that you might hurt other's feelings)
- A word or word combination is forbidden.
You will find that there are no "woops - let me edit that" more than once. They are very unforgiving. The uncanny thing about it is, it will often
filter out it's own words when you quote parts of the story.
I could go on and on about the shady tactics. Especially with politics! It's very heavy handed towards conservatives speaking.
Again - part of that feeling that you just feel shut down - closed up, bad to say anything.
That whole - "Free to say but not from repercussions" when people are saying general stuff. It's so frustrating.
And now for the banger. If you didn't know..
What the story doesn't tell you - One way to normalize what's REALLY going on:
Let's just take a major part out of the story.
Old Bob wasn't Bob at all. Old Bob was the fella's wife, originally. The picture of the guy with facial hair - might have gotten that facial hair
from the nether store.
But Yahoo doesn't want to tell you that part.
I changed my name when I transitioned, but I had to use the
name my parents gave me on my marriage license. Now I'm getting divorced and have to use it again.
Let's just make two different stories about it.
Wonder if the author is generating this via AI
Anyone else feel like instead of being visited by aliens, we just woke up in an alien world? And why does it only seem to make sense to "some"
people? Half the planet gets it - the other half can't walk and chew bubblegum anymore. Their logic is ... I don't even know. It doesn't make
sense.
scuze the typos and the opinion bloat!
