True but I see this more as a critical thinking problem - which is pervasive in our society and worsened by the tech bubbles. People should want to seek out information that both argues for and against a topic.

The few people on ours are local real estate agents and severe weather alerts lol
Yup. I quit everything but Reddit several years back without a second thought in all that time because I lived in a big metropolitan city.
Now I live in a small suburb where all the towns and businesses post to FB, neighbors have tradeposts and active interest groups on there, the schools and Police post info there too. My wife has connected to “friends” we otherwise wouldn’t exchange info with.

ChatGPT+ has been a revelation. We’ll see what happens with iOS 18 too.
They’ve got a really active and dedicated community on discord. I returned mine before this story broke for unrelated reasons but it really is a neat little device that fits a very specific niche. Outside of that bubble though, almost no one gets it and that’s their biggest problem.
Between this and Israel, the American military industrial complex is well fed and well employed. “More war” they say
But go to the ER if it lasts more than 4 hours
…have these people met certain redditors? 🧐
The fact that things like this never occur to me as possibilities goes to show just how naive I am about how the world works
Whenever I have to brave the Google abyss, I usually use Startpage. Obviously uBlock Origin but if I can avoid being bombarded by devious and distracting ads altogether, I’d rather that.
