I got rid of all my social media. I took all my accounts down and got rid of it all. And this video once again just proves, that not everything that enters into your mind and happens to you needs to be posted online.
Some people learn the hard way, cause now this is going to follow this woman everywhere she goes. And once you post something online, it’s on there forever. In her defense, that would be disturbing, but you’re still employed with Doordash honey. Their policy still applies to you…
My brother recently gave up all social media and politics and now we have not much in common. He is going back to College and realized how much time he was wasting on stuff that didn’t really matter.
On one hand I think he made the right decision, even though we really don’t talk as much as we used to now because of it. When I ask him now what he’s been up to, he just says, “School.” What can I add to that? Other than I know how much school sucks. He’s only doing it to get that piece of paper he needs to level up in his career.
Now his son is also starting College and he is dong well, but man is it expensive! Education should not be that expensive (and I blame Government getting involved in funding Student Loans for the reason it has become so expensive).
I have classmates who have never been on social media and I often think about how much more life they have experienced, but then I realize that they do something similar, but in real life. These individuals spend their time socializing at the local bar instead. So, is it really much better?
There will come a time when I will be forced to give up social media, because they will require you to use a Digital ID, which I have already decided is a line that I am not willing to cross.
Oh I’m with you there. They’re going to have to unalive me before they put that dang thing in my body. I will gladly go up and volunteer to be the first one to be unalived if they even try.
I’ve never used social media myself, though my wife uses Facebook and this morning used Facebook Messenger for a video call to the Philippines so our family there could wish me happy birthday. I’d heard from Facebook users for years that it consumed their time and sometimes the accounts got hacked, so I never was inclined to try it.
I also can’t remember the last time I was in a bar. I was in my 60s the first time I went to a happy hour. A few coworkers invited me to join them after work, and at first I said no, but then I changed my mind. We sat at a table, not at a bar, and I don’t think anybody had more than two drinks. It was fine.
My socializing with family and friends is in person or sometimes on the phone.
So true sister, so true.
How are you doing? I heard you are having trouble with your prayers not being answered. Is it getting hard to pray?
This forum is a form of social media. What is social media, but human beings sharing and interacting with one another through a media platform?
I love the way your mind works! : )
That’s probably why they call the endless scrolling feed “a stream” too. You get caught in the current and it is hard to free yourself from its undertow.
Prayer is first and foremost relationship with God, who loves and cares for you. Recited Prayer is good too, but Prayer from your heart is more meaningful.
Well, if that’s so, I do participate in a few web forums, Catholic Talk being one. Webopedia says, “Social media is an umbrella term that describes any web-based or mobile application for human interaction through digital networking. Social media networking includes both casual and professional interactions. A social media application requires users to create an account, from which they can post text or multimedia content.” I guess Catholic Talk is under that umbrella.
I’m sorry thought. And I just want you to know that there could be a million reasons why prayer doesn’t seem to be working. Stupid question but, what about small things? Like, let’s say your friend has cancer and you were praying for them. When you talked to them, did they ever say anything like “Well, I still have cancer but the treatment for my cancer treatment seems to be somewhat working.”
I’m just trying to help. Sometimes, even just a small change can be the start of something being answered.
I’m sorry…I didn’t know. I literally came up with that scenario at the top of my head. I didn’t know your friend died of cancer. Sorry…
My stomach was in knots when you said that. You know how bad I felt?! Dang lol. I did though, my stomach was in knots and I felt nauseous. But you got me.
