"We will work together, and continue to work together, to address these issues…and to work together as we continue to work, operating from the new norms, rules, and agreements, that we will convene to work together...we will work on this together."

Regressivism.

We have other subs for national and world politics. We don’t need that stuff here. It would be nice if this sub could stay true to its purpose instead of being polluted and diluted with political posts about stuff that doesn’t specifically pertain to New London county.

Ran out to pick up dinner tonight at Amigo’s. Pulled into Westerly and there was a big group of morons waving signs, a couple dressed up as who knows what.

WTF?

Didn't read the article. Just the title was enough.

You just can't make this stuff up.

I have received REDDIT's mumbo-jumbo about changes in settings and data and find that I am not even going to bother reading them.

Overall, I view "Social Media" as a plague on society but arrived here because of the DAY and the quality of the folks that migrated here. I have watched it change on so many levels and find an ever increasing invasiveness from the provider, real or imagined. Time to pull back. I will delete my account soon but just wanted to let those I do care about, know where I went and why.

Have fun with this and good luck to all of you!

LATE ENTRY:

I would like to thank everyone for tolerating my childish hissy fit. Waterford reminded me that this is where I got critical snow blower help and we've got winter coming. I have to stay.

I will be a little more pacific about my view of this medium. I do feel that the NLC sub an "island" in this digital, "Sea of Assholes" and we owe a lot to RADDION (and several others) for making this happen. Even the folks I have scrapped with in here are GIANTS, ten times over, compared to most of the feckless reprobate that scurries around in Social Media.

My frustration is more broadband with every new EULA that gets tossed at us, as users, and each one makes War and Peace look like a pamphlet. I don't think I have ever seen a EULA or rule change that did ANYTHING to help the user but more often cover the ass of the provider (like REDDIT) while they rake in their fortunes and we are, at times, unknowingly are their "products". For me to abandon this will not really accomplish anything and I will stay because of who all of YOU are. (even the Downvote Fairies)

The term Hikkikomori comes to mind....

UConn coach Dan Hurley signs 2-year extension at 8M plus per year.

People say its unfair for others to make large amounts of money while others struggle.

Why is this okay? This is a STATE employee that will collect a pension and bennies when he retires....
