I use Facebook and such as a brain drain sometimes and it’s been a great way to see what some people are up to that I grew up with. It really is frustrating and disappointing how many people just jump right on board with confirmation bias misinformation. The most ironic wave I’ve seen recently is people bitching about the lack of critical thinking while while spreading misinformation.
I used to think tiny soundbites taken out of context on cable news were the worst thing for society but social media is even worse than that.
What happened to Slashdot? At one point it was my go-to website. These days it’s so slow and bloated I hardly visit it.
Our local newspaper has decided they want me to pay a few dollars to read 15 articles online. The thing is, I already have a subscription to get the physical version delivered. Why should I pay twice?
Yesterday afternoon and evening there was a fire in Conshohocken that went to 8 alarms according to the news. It has displaced over 300 people the news said earlier.
It started in a 5 story building that was under construction. It seems like it quickly spread through the entire building and then the radiant heat caused it to spread to more buildings. The one video I saw of it just looked totally insane.
Scientists have discovered water on an extrasolar planet for the first time. I admit, I hope this is a sign of life outside our bubble.
How many times can you rob the same place and get away with it? For two stupid people 3 times in a week was too many. The robbed Cyber Warehouse last Tuesday and Wednesday. I heard about it on the news last night and couldn’t help but to laugh.
Why would someone go back to the same place three times in a week. Wouldn’t they think the police might be watching?
I saw this article about a woman who fell six stories. She landed in the septic system, which was being cleaned at the time. I think I’d rather die.
I saw an article about a man getting caught with 1500 pairs of woman’s panties that he stole. Now, that’s a pantie raid.
Community Suggests Gun Possession Is Illegal For Residents1
I just saw this and thought it was pretty interesting and bullshit at the same time. It seems this Home owners association thought they should not allow residents to have guns on their property. This is a good example of why I’d never want to have to deal with one of these HOA. I really wouldn’t want someone else telling me what I can and cannot do on my own property.
Person on their cell phone on top of their flooded car. They showed them on the noon news. Apparently both heavy rains and cell phones bring out the stupid in people. If they hadn’t gone around the barrier to drive into the water it wouldn’t have been a problem.
I saw an article about teens killing homeless people as a game. I don’t know what is wrong with some people. Homeless or not, they’re still real living people.
Mummified body found in front of blaring TV1
A mummified body was found sitting sitting in front of a blaring TV. He had been dead for over a year. It’s just strange that someone can be dead for over a year and no one noticed. He was only noticed because of a broken water pipe. The other weird thing is the electricity wasn’t turned off.
edited post to remove dead link.
People are disgusting. Some kids just need their asses kicked.
I saw an article about a woman taking the wrong car accidentally.
Somehow two people that were burned by wires while climbing up on a trail were awarded $24,000,000 million
