Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 11, 2017

Go on Netflix and watch reruns of The Dick Van Dyke Show if you want to be happy.

I think he might be on to something!

Also, get rid of the cell phone, tv and radio.

So THAT’S why I’m not happy! Leaving, now.

Proverbs 26:4,5 “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.”

The dilemma of Internet comments is not anything new under the sun.

Every pool has a warm spot. Avoid it.

Ignorance is bliss, so they say.

The internet is OK it’s the comment sections you have to avoid

Well, he has a pretty good grasp of what “irony” is.

The Information Superhighway is more rush hour, a platform where the worst of us can make the rest miserable.

Technology is a trap. Probably has been since the development of agriculture.

There are a million monkeys at a million keyboards, but Facebook looks NOTHING like “Hamlet.”

Not to worry pig, I’m developing a pill called, are you ready for this, “The Internot”. You won’t get on the internet again, but the one side effect, is that you end wanting to watch the Matrix over and over again.

(Get off the internet)

Destroy the right wing

Two comments:

1. I think Pig left out the third word, “on.”

2. In the 1990s, there was a parody book titled America Off-Line: The Complete Outernet Starter Kit; it helped Net junkies understand some things about the real world, such as “chat rooms” that are actual rooms in which people are chatting.

☺

With the repeal of Net Neutrality, going offline will be a reality for many people.

I agree pig. I never use the internet.

I believe in Freedom of Speech and all that. Whether it’s about politics or religion. BUT it’s just totally out of order to kick people to the kerb just because they don’t agree with you.

Just saying.

My pearls and gems of wisdom are fine; it’s OTHER people’s dreck and drivel that are annoying! /s

That’s right, I remember before the internet was invented, and sadness didn’t exist! It was just happy, happy, happy… no, wait, it wasn’t like that at all.

Pig’s “studies” probably amount to reading the Cliff’s Notes version of GREAT IDEAS for Dummies.

Internet, beware! Allons-y!

The key to happiness is to go ancient? That’s not the key for me..

glad to live in the ‘web’, grateful

I shall now turn my phone off.
