Yup. Done it again. Chose the time to make a stand at the peak of sunspots, cyber criminals, hackers, trolls, bots, scammers, internet provider in bankruptcy, plus a new tablet just for thrills. No ransomware, though, because they'd have to start a GoFundMe first to have anything to get and they already know that. After researching every other site including ownership and location of principals, I chose Wimkin. They're young, and VERY dedicated to free speech without censorship. Unfortunately, they're the target of all of the above, including Google play store, and Apple play store teasing them with their laser pointers. They had to come up with a new version of their app which isn't compatible with any device I own, so the reliability is sketchy there until things get hashed out. I'm confident they'll eventually win, but a smooth transition for this audience is needed. Unfortunately, Big Tech is making EVERYTHING miserable for EVERYBODY right now, but NObody in CONgress seems to care. Must be all the cash to their campaigns. And their agenda. Just like Trump warned about. Again. Along with all of the above, chapter 2 of the underwear debacle transpired, but that's a whole different issue. Let's just say if you see an old man walking down the street with his hand in his pants, don't assume the worst. He's probably just holding up his drawers. Anyway, yes, I feel like a traitor because I've got to post here until the Big Tech Wreck is done terrorizing people to be able to be with y'all. I know there's others trying to jump into the social media game, but the road isn't going to be any easier because of Big Tech, and the people that insist on controlling any speech they don't approve of. Yes, I posted every day over there, but if I copied/pasted every one and posted it here, I'd probably be jailed. I've only been there twice. Once for 24 hours for "sexually explicit material" in my other private group of 110 people at that time. It was a picture of Farmer Fred from The Waterboy with a Santa hat on doing his tweaking thing for a Christmas card I made to make the women laugh. The second time was for three days for sharing a C-SPAN video on my personal timeline about the alternative cure for the virus from a Dr. testifying before the Senate. Never from this page, though. You can bet I'll still be looking around, as well as continuing to post on Wimkin every day for the new friends over there. At least for as long as I can before Google changes how my Android system works. The dynamic of money intersecting politics seems to be unshakeable. You can call my generation "Boomers" all you want, BUT the UNMISTAKABLE fact is we took better care of YOU than you're doing for US. Consumer price index is skyrocketing, people stopped working in record numbers, immigration is out of control, and my retirement will soon only be enough to buy a six pack of pop/soda. Combined with crooked politicians and the money generated by Big Wreck, what else could go wrong? Privacy and basic human rights have long ago been manipulated beyond recognition. Now, our very pride as a nation is going the way of the Roman Empire. Except, THEY fell while still enjoying free speech! Most of them, anyway. Aren't your video games freezing up, disconnecting, or slowing down yet? Maybe that's it. It's summer, and they're live streaming. Yes, I feel ashamed. I feel dirty. Alas, for the Rest of America seems to be comfortable feeling this way. If they weren't, wouldn't they do SOMETHING about it other than gripe?
