    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Get the fuck off twitter.
    I know this wasn't directed at me, but that's not easy. It's a car crash of all things scaremongery, anger-inducing and reductive, but it's a car crash I can't look away from.

    It's fun to react to live events and post capsule reviews of what I watch on it, too.

    Man I dunno. I think I might be done with twitter. Two days in a row one of the people I follow retweets jarring murder videos from NYC. One of them was a dude washing his car and he's just executed from behind. And the other was a father holding his daughters hand crossing a cross walk and shot from a car that pulls up next to him.

    So the first time in my life that I've seen someone die, both within 48 hours. (you could argue the George Floyd video I guess but it doesn't key on the exact moment a life is gone like these gunshot videos)

    I unfollow that person.

    Then today, someone retweets a video, from California I guess.... (who knows when or where) of a man savagely punching a small women in teh face on the ground while the woman's son is crying "mommy" with people standing around and no one doing a damn thing.

    It's a lot to handle man.

    I follow a lot of different people for different view points but this is not what I signed up for.

    I'm either unfollowing everyone that's not affiliated with sports or the Howard Stern show or just deleting it completely.

    Life without Twitter is super easy. If I didn't live in another country and have to use it as the primary way to keep in touch with people back home, Facebook would be gone as well.

    Facebook is way easier to ignore because it's so easy not to login. There's no content on it. Nothing that's worthy of time. My wife runs my facebook and instagram.

    I love reading sports shit on twitter.

    Yeah, I should create a list of just my sports twitter users since Film Twitter is godawful without actual films to talk about.

    Yep my social stress has been far less since cleaning house and just keeping it to positive topics/people. Your feeds are what you choose to see.

    I think I lasted half a day with a twitter account years ago. Not my cup of tea. Some days I’m tempted to pull the plug on FB, especially as the pandemic increases.

    I've never had a Twitter account and the appeal is lost on me.

    I have zero social media.

    Weird, right? It's been very disappointing to see all these self-described SIN-EEEEEEE-MAAAAAAAAAH nerds go silent without a stream of press releases & blockbuster news to gab about. Makes "film culture" seem really f'ing shallow.

    Twitter depends on who you follow and what you choose to engage in. Just like any other social media site. Or even message boards. This isn't hard folks.

    See that kind of funny bit could only be accomplished on a message board.
