Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for October 20, 2022

So Rat doesn’t discuss movies or sports online?

E-commerce was bad for brick & mortar stores, social idiocy has been bad for everyone

This sounds like the greatest invention since the phone booth!

if you could just get one that works on people!

Where can I find that app? I gotta have it on my phone and PC.

Most of the stuff I see involves being funny, punny, kitty or bunny. Or the occasional Über-nerdly one.

An app that every device should have pre-installed.

I never do any of thes… eh, $#^

Rat didn’t want it to filter his nags, lectures and scolds, just others.

It’s hard to separate out “nag, lecture, shame, or scold” from “explain in clear and simple terms”.

Don’t hate me for saying that.

What does Rat use for birth control? His personality.

An opportunity/incentive to socialize “in person”

Should today’s comic be labeled click bait, I clicked

I miss the Twitter feed “Don’t read the comments!” Every day it would send out a reminder to not read the comments. Funny, yes, but also good advice.

Can it filter out the brag too?

Has someone been mean to Pastis on Twitter again? Walk it off, dude.

How about the cat videos?!

Rat spelled backward is Tar….Also it spells Art…..

Where do I get one?

Remember back when social media didn’t take over the world? Good times.

I just read about a new social media called Gas. It focuses on positivity.

Social media is out of control! Not monitored enough. The only site I’m on is this one!

I’ll throw it out there. DON’T OPEN THE APPS

Social media in a nutshell.

Content filtering is a big growth industry

But the best part of the internet is the ability to tell people how stupid they are without having to look them in the eye.

Effective filter.

If he wiped out all the “election denier” websites,he’s forgiven.

Well come on, cat pictures/videos don’t do any of that. Unless they can be construed as to shaming you into getting a kitten, but that’s it.

It is called the off button.

If you ask me, I think that Rat and Ren (of “Ren and Stimpy”) would get along really well.

I have that for FBook. It works until they “update” the FB code. Takes a few days for the extension programmer to catch up.

Can we get a filter for all of the political posts?

Well, Instagram ladies have begun to send me their naked pictures … so that’s something….

Lesson learned….

I’m with Rat. Too many Karens and Chads.

I want a filter that blocks people’s Wordle scores

Makes sense.

Rat has been slow to figure this out. Goat speaks for most of us today, I fear, for better or for worse….

Sounds about reality
