Dumbasses n the internet

The way Facebook works is you get paid for people interacting with your posts. So "people" (its really 99% bots/ai with minimal human interaction) make fake headlines and stories to get those interactions. If you see a Facebook news story just automatically assume it's fake or very very misconstrued.

Stay away from them, not worth any kind of time.

If there’s anything the internet has taught us is that our historical ideas about the ratio of idiots to villages was wildly inaccurate.

This morning I seen the innocent woman’s name all over YouTube, I searched it and there were a couple dozen videos claiming it was her and they’re calling for her head - I do a Google search and it’s not her but there’s still a bunch of videos saying it is (I don’t have Facebook ,Instagram, TikTok , Twitter ,HBO .. )

+1. Isn't it also the case that the most people globally get their news from social media?

I have been thinking that a good side business would be selling pitchforks, torches and nooses. I would probably not be able to keep up with the orders!

Wait' exactly how do I get in on that. I've been on fb a long time, and haven't seen any money from them.

You probably have to apply to their sponsor program and have a certain number of followers, engagements etc.

"Phillies Karen" sure looks a lot like Elizabeth Warren from the front.

Very unfortunate for the misidentified woman, and typical of mob mentality
on social media. I'll point out that the idiots aren't limited to social media in
this case, as the behavior of both adults was absurd (the dad who invaded the
space of other fans and the woman who felt the need to act like he just stole
her kidney). People are just lovely!

What did whoever not do? And was it done at all by anybody?



P.S. And is Elizabeth Warren a Phillies fan now? I thought she was a lifelong Reds fan.

I would have thought an Indians fan…

The video shows the ball landing in the concrete below the seats in front of her row. I don't believe there is a zone of control when you buy a ticket for a seat other than that seat and where you put your feet. She never touched it and the unwritten rule on any ball in the stands is whomever grabs it, keeps it. There was no one seated in that row. He had every right to go over and take it.

Photoshop or AI on that. Glasses are different and no two-tone hair. Trolling as trolls do.

Ah, thanks for pointing that out.
