Are you guilty?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I took a long break from the sewer that is Facebook heading in to the election.  I finally came back a few days after it was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d said to myself that I was going to &#8220;unfriend&#8221; people who wrote things I thought might be intentionally targeted to piss me off.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Didn&#8217;t take long to see something<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did I unfriend?  No.  There&#8217;s now a mute function.  I will not see that person&#8217;s stuff unless I specifically go look for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Same goes for whatever relationship changes might occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just really couldn&#8217;t care less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another &#8220;friend&#8221; was actively calling oug that there&#8217;d been &#8220;unfriending&#8221; after some stupid posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I am now ignoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe my reluctance to actually unfriend is passive-aggressive?  (Man, part of me hopes that that&#8217;s true&#8230;.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along those lines, really, Microsoft, I don&#8217;t give a crap about what celebrities are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/celebs-reacting-joe-biden-kamala-153621564.html\" target=\"_blank\">thinking <\/a>about unofficial election results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t care in the least about why I voted for someone with virtually zero chance of gaining enough of a plurality to &#8220;win;&#8221; why should I care what you think?  You&#8217;re not at all open to hearing my reasons.  You don&#8217;t respect my rights;   all &#8220;negative&#8221; rights.  Tell me again why I should care at all about what you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, that&#8217;s right, you&#8217;re going to force me to live as you choose, and you&#8217;re more than okay with me being killed for not going along with the plan.  Got it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it looks like there&#8217;s probably an <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/investing\/pfizer-pfe-stock-coronavirus-vaccine-trading-110920\" target=\"_blank\">effective vaccine for COVID-19.<\/a>  Even if I was one of the people who chose not to take it, Governor Hoodor Blackface (D-VA) would kill me to force compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Land of the free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(And, no, I would take it freely.  But that&#8217;s not the point.  If you understood that, you wouldn&#8217;t think that whatever celebs think about the election would have any bearing on my choice of politicians&#8230;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay.
