It’s Friday 4 September 2020

in #itsfriday4 years ago

A round-up of the weeks Social Media interactions. Some are funny, some you’ll need to read the conversation to understand the context.

LATEST NEWS:

Back to school: With the government demanding children head back to the classroom useless lazy journalists are running around trying to find the first puking child so they can accuse the government of jumping the gun over COVID and a return to education.”

@jamie said "Me too" but we think he meant it's Friday rather than the campaign because we've seen his avatar and he's definitely a paper bag job. Source

@tomosaigon tried to explain Brave Browser to us but made the fatal mistake of not using finger paintings and Lego in the explanation. Source

@deezthugs told us how to adjust the settings in Brave Browser. Source

@timttmy and @silkevicious are complete swine for refusing to make our life easier when working with their PITA accounts. Source

@wyliecoyoteuk continues his daily hate of the Tory party. Source

@sullybiker Speed read our Hive post: We're thinking of buying him War & Peace and testing him on random chapters. Source

@xvilo said "There's no such thing as verified": He must be pissed again because if you hover over the announcement tick it says :verified: Source


@TentaclesMedia had a massive long chat with us that went round in circles and ultimately got nowhere. A pretty average day on most social media if you ask us. Source

@stav ponders that the binmen might be out to get us? Interestingly, they were pointing at our property yesterday. They emptied the bins so we don't care. Source

@andyc ought to come to Hive. He has funds on Steem too.

I use Brave, but not sure I'm getting the most from the tokens. I am happy to donate some to sites I use if they can benefit.

TBH, I find Brave Browser a bit annoying. I'm wondering if being tracked isn't a small price to pay for not having pop-ups every hour?

Don't forget, you can upvote peoples comments too!

I can live with such infrequent popups. I expect you can disable them anyway if you are not bothered about earning. Brave have had some controversy, but having had 224,000 ads and trackers blocked sounds like a good thing to me.
