Social Disease

1. I linked the article referred to by Tim in Reader’s Tips the other night. Greg Glassman, the founder of Crossfit, is an interesting guy, an entrepreneur, freespeecher, and fearless when it comes to defending his convictions. Every day Crossfit sends out am Email of the Day with a suggested workout, a breakdown of how to do the movements correctly , something to do with nutrition and something that engages the reader intellectually. Pretty cool stuff. Yesterday there was an archived article written by Greg from 2004 on the question “Why Fitness?”. It’s a really good read not especially promoting Crossfit but more about the physical and mental benefits associated with fitness. The link here http://library.crossfit.com/free/pdf/23_04_why_fitness.pdf It has been said that Crossfit changes lives which I believe it does. In my case it saved my life but that’s another story.

2. Zuckerberg looks positively amphibian …. although we know he is actually reptile.

3. Get Woke.
   Go Broke.

4. What’s Facebook? I’ve heard of Fuckbook. Is Facebook like that but with a bit more clothing?

5. If the anti-trust is successful then the interesting thing to see will be whether the delivery system becomes divorced from the discussion/posting space. If the Ma Bell case is used as the example, then the posting space will become a townhall again, accessible from Facebook, Gab, Snapchat, Mozilla, Libertarians-Are-Us, and whoever else wants to make a company to access this space in the same way that the infrastructure of the phone system can be used by all companies that sell phone services. A Telus customer can talk to a Bell customer, or a Sprint customer, or an AT&T customer.

   It will be interesting to see what the Facebook space equivalent to hanging up on a telemarketer will be. From the phone analogy, a telemarketer is free to call you initially, but you have legal rights to not be bothered by them after you make it clear to them you do not want to be called again. This includes “do not call” registries. You do not have the right to stop the telemarketer from making any calls to anyone, ever, which is the current Facebook method.

6. Does Fackebook BAN and CENSOR all of the anti-vaccination blogs, websites, and chatter? If not, why not? That’s FAR more dangerous than some opinion about the dangers of sugar.

   However, NEITHER should be banned … ever. Stupid people and stupid opinions should be OUTED everywhere. Just consider what Twitter has done to REVEAL the unfiltered, drunken “Tweets” of “”celebrities” who have had to walk-back and apologize for their idiotic “beliefs”. This is GOOD! Let Social Media melt-away the masks of the nutjob sin our society. Let stupid people get absolutely-fkcuing THRASHED by public reaction to their stupidity.

7. Not on FB, insta, or LinkedIn. No cable tv but i have netflix but rarely ever watch. I like Twitter but really just to follow people and harass moonbat journalists. I send about 1 or 2 political e-mails a week. I post a comment here maybe 3 days a week. That is what i guess you’d call my “social media” presence. I like to fly under the radar. Like Mark Steyn says, I’d love to live “in the shadows” like all these illegals.
