I guess that’s where the gas/bag video first re-surfaced and it went viral. Then everyone takes Reddit at face value too... sounds like a lot of viral stuff that’s fake starts at Reddit. I think it's more a percentages thing. Reddit has been around for a long time and has about 50 million active daily users with countless subreddits so you are bound to get a lot of nonsense getting seeded from there onto social media. Plus, unlike FB you do not need to subscribe to browse. There is a lot of quality posting that goes on there too. The problem is, most people see something and post it on their FB page without ever looking into if it is actually true. Don't forget, there is lots of propaganda posting acoss all social media, globally, by paid shills. China may be the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s fear-paralysis against any change in status quo. Hopefully when the next town meeting happens they come to their senses and realize people ignore it.

Lava Rock Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Up in your neck of woods yesterday. Was surprised by # of boats in the water and activity on lakes. Top of Long Lake boat launch was busy. I still remember vividly, my Uncle and Dad trying to get me to dive maskless to find a propeller part which they'd accidently dropped in the the sebago lake basin at some boat yard back in the early 70's. There was no visibility and I panicked almost immediately! They kept sending me back down!Hired a diver today to get the phone. He had it in . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously had taxes taken out while on unemployment but then they waived taxes on up to $10k per person and we weren’t on unemployment/furlough long enough to go past 20k combined, so we got all the tax back from unemployment. First tax refund in a while for us, even with owing for my photography side business. I always owe because I don’t pay taxes on that income until I file. I wondered why you took such good pics, I didn't realize you were a professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we were face to face in school the whole year. I’m forever greatfull. I’ve been able to do close to a dozen “hands on” lab activities since February. When we were in hybrid mode the number of kids per class was low so I could more easily do the labs (washing equipment etc in between groups). When they all came back it was harder. A ton of modifications. This will allow more kids to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a gas station yesterday and there was a lady at the tire pump with mask and gloves on. I was the only other person around and she was 35'-40' away. The pump wasn't working so she asked me if there was another gas station in the area. I guess she was being extra cautious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
