1). Do those articles make you think or consider a viewpoint you haven't previously considered?

2). You ever notice that the "both sides" people probably don't talk about how bad "both sides" are when they're among like-minded people? It's almost as if they want you to agree, say both parties are the same and stay home while they vote for their guy.

 

The unfollow button has been a life saver. Finally had to block one person who kept filling my instant messenger with crackpot videos, but the unfollow has been nice.

 

I use the unfollow button, too.

 

My next goal is to get banned from the Neighborhood Watch page I follow so I can finally stop getting into Facebook fights.

And I said banned rather than just quitting because I'm going for Facebook Ban Bingo

 

Another thing that will be interesting moving forward is people even going state to state, like one state that's not so open, to another that really is. I've already heard of baseball teams in Colorado, where seasons are looking iffy at best, almost looking to take up residency in places like Wyoming and South Dakota where there are few restrictions. How are things like that going to impact those places?

 

Harvard Med School cancels in-person classes for fall.

But send your kids back to school!

 

I often look at the url or give it a quick glance to try and see how legitimate it is and then search a little if I feel like it is worthy of that. With the Plandemic crap I knew it was shit right away because I had already read up on the lady from one of these stories from a few days before. If there is something from a legit source, I'll read it and think about it. We all should, honestly. It's the too far one way or the other stuff that is scary and there is way too much of that out there right now.

They of course don't have a different view points usually, and I guess that's OK if they are respectful because that works all ways. I hate the manipulative I'm not trying to be political or I want us to think about everything viewpoints, though. That was especially prevalent with the Plandemic one. Yet none of those people really looked into it, just posted it as fact. I will give credit to one of my friends who used the open our minds line with it. He backtracked on it when it really came out that it was bunk. He still encouraged everyone to keep open minds, though, which I suppose we should. At least with properly sourced stuff.

 

Those flags touched the ground. Why do they hate America?

 

Harvard (the rest of it), NYU and Columbia are going to announce this in the next couple of weeks if not sooner.

Something to look for: A lot of places -- particularly private schools with geographic diversity -- are going to have students on campus in August, break for Thanksgiving and not bring the populace back until late January. The end of fall semester and exams will be remote. Reason: If you disperse kids to NYC, Boston, etc., and then bring them back after Thanksgiving, there may be a problem. Trumpandemic 2.0 may be poised to attack. Return of social distancing for a few weeks and then -- they hope -- it will be OK for a return to normalcy. The Spring Break industry will be crushed.

 

I generally make it a personal rule not to discuss politics and religion with friends or people I know when I’m online, although some do see my posts or tweets.

Total strangers, on the other hand ...
