Video of the day -- the internet vs real life


This one is really old, dating back to the early days of the internet -- but it remains strikingly accurate today, especially the part about debating politics online.  Some NSFW spoken dialog.

This is still so relevant especially the political interactions.

I don't know why I was laughing about the ads. They were so spot on.

Did you see this article? Social Media gets creepier and creepier. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/03/business/meta-ai-accounts-instagram-facebook/index.html

Lady M: If anything, the politics issue has gotten worse. They've got everybody screaming at each other and treating each other as the epitome of evil. I don't believe it would be anything like as bad if most of the arguments were in person instead of online.

I did see an article about the Facebook "AI" bot accounts, though I'm not sure it was that same one. Social media will do anything to keep people on the app and isolated from other real people.

Leanna: The ads are pretty funny, mostly in how they keep interrupting everything, like pop-ups on the real internet.
