Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 02, 2019

I deleted my Twitter app. I probably spend 90% percent less time there now, and I’m happier for it.

Same with Facebook. I check it once a month, whether I need to or not. (/s)

(Seriously, if it wasn’t the designated way for family to be in contact, I wouldn’t have opened an account – and I always seem to be on the edge of frustration to the point of wanting to delete it…whatever happened to just plain texting or e-mails? Oh, so double-oughts…)

Social media feeds fuels anger and hate through the benefit of anonymity and 255 character brevity.

Social media are everything, except being social.

Commenting on comics is not social media. Right? RIGHT?

No, Pig, it isn’t. Goat is just feeling relief from no longer seeing all the bad grammar and spelling on the Internet, and mistakes that feeling for something else. Soon it will wear off, and he’ll be back to feeling normally miserable.

Don’t belong to any social media sites and have no intention of ever belonging to one of them.

Who needs Twitter? I have plenty of ways to waste my time.

I just blocked my 6th nincompoop on Facebook a couple hours ago. Nearly as fulfilling as Goat’s experience, but like Rat, I still think it would have been highly fulfilling to have wtung the idiot’s neck.

Ignorance IS truly bliss… and perhaps a bit too escapist in these most difficult and dangerous times. I’d rather be forearmed and sad than left in the dark and temporarily happy.

Why do people love this strip so much?

Good for you Goat ! ……… Croc Power !

To sum up, Hell is Other People.

GoComics commenting is social media too, but more fun than just looking at lame FB posts.

“Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah, Praise ye the Lord!”

I believe that’s only the 2nd or 3rd time we’ve ever seen Goat head on…

Yes, don’t you remember? Everybody was happy be for social media. It was a utopia.

That’s why he’s the GOAT!

Quick, get a selfie before it goes away.

I have regained some freedom also! I DELETED FACEBOOK! What a intrusive POS site! Now they’re censoring people’s posts more than ever. They’re intruding on people’s right to freedom of speech! Not to mention they are allowed to go into your personal pics and use them at their discretion. BULL!

All of the bad news means I get to eat more treats to compensate.

I’ve never tweeted, chatted, facebooked, followed any celebrity or any of those other things. I refuse to go to the dark side.

Does GoComics qualify as “social media”?

Why does Goat have eyes in his nose?

(in James Brown voice) “Have you seen the light?!”

I don’t DO social media. It’s all ANTI-social media for ME!!

It’s SO refreshing to have a flip phone that I use for ONE THING…Phone Calls! I think it has a camera, but I have no clue how to use it, I guess it could be used for texting…if I wanted to bother to learn how to do it, but I don’t, and maybe it will do more, I really don’t know, nor do I care!!! It’s a PHONE!!! Besides, I don’t have cell coverage where I live, so it’s useless at my house anyway, It’s only for emergency use in the car.

This is the third comic I read today with same message. We get it,we get it!

Never signed on to ANY social media…..use all my energy for my bff’s……don’t have time for strangers that write nasty things ASAP

I disabled my Facebook account during the 2014 elections due to all the vitriol. Didn’t really miss it. I turned it back on in October 2018 after Hurricane Michael wiped out my county so that I could contact some people. Turned it back off around Christmas, again due to all the vitriol. Still don’t miss it.

Now, how do we turn off the op-ed hoopleheads on GoComics?

I know some people who practically live on social media websites. I’ve got better things to do with my life when waste it Facebooking, tweeting, Instagramming, etc.

I never did it in the first place and glad I didn’t.

I just realized I spend about 90% of my time on here….. OOF!

Or you could just skip reading these and Non-Sequitir comments and be just as happy.

Goat is part of a slow-growing trend. Maybe one day all the world will see the Light!

But I doubt it….

Now turn off the 24 hour news. Read what news you need.

I see. So Goat turned off social media and joined a rave?

… and yet, here we are… (commenting!)

Use it. Don’t abuse it.

What about the twitter account of Bill Wurtz?

very funni comic
