Other Random question of the day

[The Dreamer of the Lore]

I had an ad about a ramen soup that had nothing to do with ramen. It was super random.

Random question of the day:

Which one is more toxic? Twitter or Facebook? Or are they equally toxic?

 

[Merciless Medic]

Equally toxic.

So much political bs.....

If I didn't have family on my FaceBook still, I would dump FaceBook. I'm already pretty close to dumping Twitter, as well. It is just a dumpster fire on both ends.

 

[Cross]

That's a toughy. On Facebook, you have to see friends and family saying terrible things. On twitter, it's just millions of strangers being awful to each other for likes.

Agree, total dumpster fire on both ends.

 

[Coakhedd]

I agree with what's already been said, though I'd have to see Twitter's a little worse. Everyone seems to have the same traits: Self-righteousness, arrogance, smugness and a God Complex.

 

[Idea]

Facebook seems a lot more tame than Twitter currently. Neither are places I’d wanna be in, but all things considered Facebook just doesn’t have the same intensity of use as Twitter I believe.

 

[Crayons]

Twitter.

Facebook is friends only. I just see what my friends post and most of the time it's innocuous stuff. While I have a couple of more conservative friends and a few on the outside lane of the left generally speaking most people share at least something of my values. Also on Facebook you can have a proper discussion which is pretty much impossible on Twitter.

Twitter is just people yelling into the void, and because people aren't friends they have no compunction about being rude/toxic. I'm also exposed to more of this crap on twitter because about 70% of the posts I see are posts from people I don't know or follow because people I do follow have liked them. Also most of the people I know who prefer twitter and don't have Facebook prefer it for all the reasons I hate it - the shouty shouty politics stuff.

I just all around hate twitter and the only reason I'm on it is for work. Since I'm not working at the moment I'm generally only using it for AITA and relationships.txt for light amusement.

I just wish there was a Facebook with no advertising and no creepy tracking data mining or billionaires.

It's because there's no room for a nuanced argument in 240 characters. Everyone sounds like they are being self righteous and arrogant even when they aren't trying to be, because every Tweet is like yelling short statements like "I HATE CHEESE!"

Yeah, that's very true. And yet people still love to debate politics on it so much for whatever reason.

 

[The Dreamer of the Lore]

I will say Twitter, but only because Facebook depends a lot on who you have added and the groups, they can both be equally toxic for sure, but at least for me I guess I will go with Twitter.

 

[Merciless Medic]

Don't forget all the toxic crap some celebrities pull on Twitter. XD Facebook has a tendency to censor things they don't agree with and Twitter outright disables people's posts if they don't agree with them either, deleting them from public view and effectively "canceling" them (I hate that term but its accurate)

Random question of the day:

Is Patton Oswalt really as bad of a person as people say that he is?

Random question of the day:

Patton Oswalt? Who?

 

[AlexneushoornTheGreat]

Patton Oswalt? Who?

An American actor, writer and stand-up comedian. I've never heard of him either, but I've heard people speak badly of him on the internet, hence why I asked the question.

Random question of the day:

Does anyone even say that he is? I know there were some comments about him getting married to fast after his first wife's death, but I don't think I ever seen anyone calling him a bad person.

Random question of the day:

Must admit I am not in the known at all to the name, neither does FB gave me a hand with it, so I will have to admit that if I havent heard anything yet, maybe he isnt that big deal? Or at least the news havent gotten here yet.

 

[Emeraude]

I haven't heard of the name, either, but I don't keep up much with pop culture.

Random question of the day:

Is it safe to say that modern day Disney is a panderer?

 

[The Dreamer of the Lore]

Random question of the day:

Is it safe to say that modern day Disney is a panderer?

Well. Disney always had this mind set. In the end good old Walt wants money and a legacy. And that means getting people to find it great.

 

[Crayons]

Yes but Hollywood in general is a panderer. Money is more important than artistic integrity. Don't offend China, they have deep pockets!

Random question of the day:

Should people have to get used to being around foul language?

 

[saniachan]

Random question of the day:

Should people have to get used to being around foul language?

I hope so, yeah. One does not simply control how other people speak anyway.

 

[Owlbear]

Random question of the day:

Should people have to get used to being around foul language?

To an extent, yes. You can't really control how other speak after all.

That said, that shouldn't be taken as an excuse not to control your own language around people who don't like foul language.

 

[saniachan]

That said, that shouldn't be taken as an excuse not to control your own language around people who don't like foul language.

Indeed. Controlling your own language should be easy if you're not a big fan of foul languages to begin with.

 

[Owlbear]

Indeed. Controlling your own language should be easy if you're not a big fan of foul languages to begin with.

Not what I mean. My point was that if you are around people that you know don't like foul languages, you shouldn't curse around them.

It's after all, only polite.
