Truth in Profiles
Owls - Nothing fake here |
Fakesters have been caught flooding the internet with identical commentary, all promoting a specific topic eg, climate change and how it's going to kill off the planet or how we need to vote for a particular political party.
While I'm a believer in as little government imposition in the lives of citizens as possible, I do think there is a need to legislate that organisations like Twitter, Parler, YouTube, Instagram, and the thousands of others involved in social media require proof of identity for those subscribing to their services.
Even if they charged a nominal fee paid via EFT or credit card it would improve the situation because the name on the account would have to be identical with the credit card account. Users would only be allowed two accounts, a personal account and if they had a business, a business account.
Better still, proof of identify at sign-up would be a great idea.
This would reduce much of the obnoxious commentary aimed at individuals by those hidden under pseudonyms, stop anyone having dozens of separate, ad hoc accounts to influence others on what is right or wrong. It would clean up the industry very well.
The only social media network I know that requires proof of identity, or more accurately, proof of residence, is Nextdoor. When you sign up for a Nextdoor account, you are required to verify your address, which helps verify your name. Even if you provide a fake name, you can be found via your address.
Unfortunately, this plays into the hands of the World Economic Forum elites who want to impose a one world government upon us and a social credit score. The latest madness is that we will all require a "Personal Carbon Allowance" and be penalised if we exceed it.
However, there is still time to implement the proof of identity concept and reject the unelected WEF idea of communism imposed on the unwashed masses.

Dear Diary - Every Day is the Same
Today's diary entry says it all.
Every day is a repeat of every other day. Well, it is when one is retired. Not completely, but mostly.
Let me explain.
Most days for me go like this, I:
- wake up and change into my day clothes
- look out the front door (to the East) to see what type of day it's likely to be (sun's up!)
- open the blinds to our loungeroom side door and rear windows that look out into our patio cover and lovely garden full of lilly-pillies, lavendar, wooly-bushes and an oversupply of a variety of succulents (they grow very well and easily)
- boot my laptop
- turn on the television (which I later regret)
- make a cup of coffee
- jot down a few things in my diary/notebook that I expect to do today - in conjunction with my Google Calendar. I do a lot of volunteering so most days I have something to do for someone
- check email and the news
- make a cup of tea for my wife who usually sleeps in longer than I do
- have breakfast between 10 and 11 am when I get hungry
- do some volunteer work, much of which is on a laptop (writing grant applications etc)
- go for a walk, ride, do some rowing exercise in my rower and a few reps of fitness tube exercises
- have lunch around 2 pm
- sit down in my comfortable Lazyboy chair and watch some tv after lunch
- make dinner or help make dinner at about 6:30 pm
- watch Home and Away (much to the laughter of my daughter who thinks I'm too old for that)
- view some how-to videos on YouTube: carpentry, cooking, tool use
- go to bed at 11:30 pm
