Nothing like tossing a crow bar into the spokes of your lifecycle while you're riding it.:haha:

My daddy always told me...
Be sure brain is in gear before mouth is engaged:yep:

That saying may need some updating.:haha:

Self destruction has become an art form these days.

Engage brain before tweeting doesn't have the same ring to it.

Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble, IF it kept its' mouth shut.

POP also said that God gave us two eyes, two ears and one mouth for the sole purpose of looking and listening twice as much as we speak.:up:

Ms. Sacco will be needing to change her name now.:hmmm:
Ms. Mud has a nice ring to it.:up:

People just don't understand that once it's written, it's in stone. Be careful what you write!

The problem is that there is a type of person (and I don't think it is necessarily generational) who believe that other people are truly interested in their thoughts and opinions.

Twitter is only the venue. Twitter and social media are like the anti-BASF. It did not make the problem, it just makes the problem you already have, worse. :)

Wait, what?
A person showcasing their iq level of zero?
This is unheard of.

Do we all see what is happening with social media? We're losing our ability to interact face to face, which is another skill entirely of its own. There's an immersion factor with everything, and like with sims, unless you're really there talking to the person or on the real sub fighting the real war you really don't get the full effect.

Because of this, we're much more inclined to say things we wouldn't say to someone's face. My Grandpa always told me "If you can't say something decent or constructive, then say nothing at all." Well today the caveat should be added, "unless you're online, then flame that MF as much as possible!" :rotfl2:

How many of us here on Subsim would be this comfortable talking to each other if this forum was live, and we were all sitting in a conference room together. Imagine how much spam and non-sequiturs would diminish, and how many real issues would actually get solved? This is precisely why the gov't and media strive hard to keep us at odds with each other, and wrongfully paranoid of our neighbors. We can talk online all we want, but until we actually assemble, we're not a threat. Roll that around in your head a bit.

That would ever happen on subsim. :D

I do not have a Twitter account there is nothing so important going on in my life that I must post what is going on at the moment in 140 words or less.


I can see how some people can make good use of Twitter about 10% of regular Twitter users more than likely.Modern technology can expand human interaction at the same time it can make you less human.they say that this is the post human age because people are being more comfortable with machines than they feel with other people.

Social media dose have power though look at the protests in Iran a few years ago and the Arab Spring in general that was largely due to social media.

Until enough people really want change things do not change no revolution regardless of its out come occurred because only a handful of people wanted change.When people can ignore thier petty differences that is when real change occurs and no one can stop that not 1 million bullets.
