Social Media

[countrygirl12]

First off, it amazes me at the number of people who have social media accounts such as Twitter and use their real name and real picture and are open about where they work.  Facebook I can see a little more but not having your account totally open.  Anyway...

Just curious as to if others have noticed how many people get in to arguments with idiots who are just looking for a fight and take the bait and end up saying things they probably should not and then that one comment(s) are screen shot and sent to employers and the person ends up getting fired from their job.  That has happened a few times since this riot stuff started and even back with the cov stuff.

There was a woman on Twitter trying to get a nurse fired because she said masks were not necessary outside and if you did not want to wear one she did not think you should have to.  She was not giving medical advice simple stating her opinion.  So some crybaby tries to get her fired from her job.

There have been a few more where arguments got out of hand and the snowflake screenshots part of the convo and then sends it to the person who has a job boss and tries to get them fired.  I know a couple WERE fired. The seemingly bad part is all that is shared publicly. I cannot be the only person who asks questions and wants to know what led up to the one remark that was sent to a boss.  There is always more to it.

Usually when you get the whole story it is a lot different than what is being portrayed.  People are so evil and vindictive these days.  I wonder if things will ever go back to any where close to what we use to call normal.
It is like someone commented on twitter the other night you have 3 sides to every situation.  Person A side, Person B side, and the truth somewhere in the middle.    Oh and if you are in public the 14 witnesses sides all of which are different as well.

There have been 2-3 just in the past couple days.  The stories were on Yahoo.  And one was shared on Twitter.  It just amazes me at how vile people are.

I agree. A lot of investigations at my day time job are made so much easier by people that like to share their life on twitter, linked in, FaceBook, and google. Sometimes it is the attached friends that are able to provide direction on where people are going and what they are doing. Everyone involved in investigations at work has a second account set up with all of the large social media outlets so that they cannot be tracked when looking into the histories of alleged wrong doers.Even with all of the sophisticated software that our company has access to, due diligence is generally performed by searching people's social media accounts.I have a minimal 'real' social media presence because I am a very private person and never want my family to be exposed. Rowr to DonnaMarg?!?

Rowr??

So i googled it.Aroused expression at 1s idea?
My answer based on how argumentative CG is on FC,i can imagine on SM what it would be like.The proof is here to see if UR inclined to do ur homework...or maybe just not important enuff not to go beyond Rowr!!

IC in her next post she says people are so vile cos they disgaree  with others.

Such a hipocrite.CG and Jedi sent in hundreds of posts to FC cos they disgaree with a member <HItch>for supporting bible via JW.org.

Sick person and a creep.Plus go look at what other members have to say RE her.

I think you missed what I was saying. I am not talking about people who basically tell on themselves when they are breaking the law.  Like people who film themselves torturing animals.  That seems to be a big thing right now.  I am talking about as in the example I gave above a woman who is a nurse, and lives in a state that does not require masks, stated that she did not think people needed to wear a mask.  So some crybaby snowflake that is scared to death starts sending stuff to her place of employment trying to get her fired.  That is what I don't understand.  But seeing comments every where all over the internet it makes sense.  People are vile and vindictive. It just did not make sense to me. You don't agree with what somebody said so you try to get them fired from their job?

And just because you think you find something on social media does not mean it is the same person's account.  There can be more than one person with the same name.  Or even a fake account.  Somebody made a fake account on facebook with my aunt's name and profile pic.  Then started sending all the family friend requests.

Anyway, I just wondered if others are seeing this. I don't do Facebook and what social media I do participate in I don't put personal info out there. Twitter I just mostly follow stuff.  Comment every now and then.

I rarely comment on any social media accoubts.  I signed up on FB years ago to keep in touch with my brother in Florida and my friend in Greece.  People have changed drastically over the years and sadly not for the better.  Because someone doesn't agree with you, or you don't like what they said,or just don't like the person you find ways to try to get them fired.  Seriously, is your life so fxxked that's what you do?  I have seen things on Facebook that people post and I can't believe it.  I want to shake them and say are you that stupid?, but I guess that's the way the world is now 😢

    I think the problem is individuals realize how much power they have been inadvertently given and they are exercising it to get what they want. This reminds me a story a comedian, Bill Burr, said in one of his stand up specials. A woman walks into a restaurant/bar and sees a joke about a wife beater and tells the waitress/hostess to take it down. It wasn't so she proceeds to complain about it to the point where both manager and the waitress/hostess get fired. I guess it was financially better to fire and replace these people than risk a potential lawsuit by a pathetic snowflake.

I don't have any accounts with social media but people put a lot of personal info out there.

That is a big part of it I guess.  If I own a business no one is going to bully me in to bowing to their wishes. If you are offended you can either not look at it or not go in that business. I see a lot of things that I think are offensive.  I have never tried to get anyone fired.  And some do not stop at just trying to get the person fired but in the case of like the nurse trying to get her license pulled as well.  And legally they could not do that because she did not break any laws.  She got in to an argument with a random idiot online.  An idiot who was also slinging slurs.  But only HER comment was shared with the public. Maybe I am the only one who looks for all sides before making a decision.

There was a video on twitter of a car that stopped and the driver got out and went after protestors.  People were calling for his blood.  BUT if you see the whole video and not the edited "oh poor me" version.... the protestors started it.  They threw something and his his vehicle.  He was not bothering anyone.  Just driving down the road. Trying to get where he was going.

Apparently most people's are. That is what I was saying. I don't get it. I mean if you go in to that place of business and somebody said something insulting TO YOU then that is totally different. But what you do when you are not at work is none of your boss' business. Kind of like you wear a tee shirt that some may find offensive. Some idiot takes your picture and sends it to your boss asking that you are fired for wearing a shirt they did not like to Walmart on your day off.  And you end up losing your job because it is shared all over the internet and everybody jumps on board.  Kind of like that Bugs Bunny clip where all these dogs are jumping up and down on Bugs.  (bugs actually is on top of the pile but irrelevant to my point) He is jumping up and down singing "dog pile on the rabbit".  And that is basically what it is.  Everybody jumping in something that does not even concern them trying to cause someone to lose everything they have.

Now i ask ALL FC members to discerrn RE CG.

She claims she would NEVER get anyone fired.But yet she sends FC hundreds of posts to complain about a member that supports the bible in a way she doesnt agree with.And who knows in her viper ways to try and dig up dirt using the net to find out more about the person.

Can U say CROCK?

Indeed social media can have a negative impact if not used properly and accordingly. The main purpose of all social media is to communicate. However, many take Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube as weapons to spread negativity and lies. The worst part is that many people believe in these lies. The only social media where isn’t so much negativity is Instagram. Of course, it has drawbacks and many things to work upon, but scrolling an hour on Instagram won’t catalyze so much adversity in the way you think. Even if there are people who know how to buy Instagram likes, video and views and make it their life investment, it won’t eventually turn badly towards them. My advice to all people is to balance the time online and to choose carefully on what social media to register.

I was never on many sites to begin with but I haven't touched any of my personal social media accounts in years. They're all just ads and vile political arguments. I have other ways of keeping touch with the few who matter.
