Doing OK, recovering from knee replacement, tired of the pandemic, looking forward to retirement in a bit more than 4 years, but all in all not bad.

TikTok... I still don't get it. My 13 year old likes to watch the videos, and shows me the "good ones". But I can't figure out what the point is. I learned there is a pug who tells folks whether the day is "bones" or "no bones".

My wife showed me that too. She finds it hilarious, and has explained it to me about 5 times. I still don't get what it means.

She also showed me last night a video of someone discussing a federal crime that her 11 year old committed, followed by a video with the kid in it going over his punishment which they made basically 10 hours of community service to avoid giving him a record. I'm pretty sure if something like that happened to my kid I'd be doing my best to keep the incident from gaining publicity.

My daughter informed me before she went to school that today is, in fact, a bones day. I am told this means we need to get after it today... time to get stuff done.

You probably have already heard this like five times, I guess. But at risk of making it a 6th, I am told there is a guy with a 13 year old pug, and each morning, he will basically see if his pug will stand up (bones) or flop back into bed limp (no-bones). Bones days are days of action, where you get things done. No bones days are days for self care.

There is probably a lot more to it then that, but that's all I could get out of it. Oh, and the dog is pretty cute.

Still makes no sense to me. Although sounds like astrology and that makes just as little sense.

Saw something on youtube the other day where someone was doing tarot readings. Which is fine, I understand the concept of divination. What I don't get, is that it's a reading done for...thousands of people. Basically anyone that stumbled upon the video gets the same reading. Just like everyone born in the same month gets the same astrology reading, and everyone in the world either has a self-care day or an "action" day, and it's the same day for all of us.

Ha, I think it's just cute. And you're just about right... it's like astrology. Fun and not to be taken seriously, though I think occasional reminders to take care of oneself and also motivation to get moving and get stuff done are both pretty positive messages. :)

I stumbled onto one of the religion networks and happened into a prayer in which I and everyone else watching was receiving the blessings of some kind of deity. Also weird. But folks will believe what they want to believe.
 
Funny to me that this thread has had over 67k views and shy of 3k posts. That's a pretty striking view to post ratio.

There have definitely been a lot of times I've opened and/or refreshed but didn't see anything that I had a reply to, and didn't have anything to post myself. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

yeah, me too... but that's like a 23:1 ratio of lurks to posts. Just stood out to me as being pretty striking.

My wife got me started. I've found some folks who make really funny and entertaining content, some who make really informative content, and a bunch of truly inane stuff. Fortunately, their algorithm is pretty good at figuring out what I want to see, so I see very little of the stuff I consider inane. Makes a nice wind-down for me before bed - I watch and get a quick seratonin fix.

No, that's pretty much it. Except that you left out the pug's name: Noodles. And, yeah, Noodles is pretty cute.

Does everyone know about this pug? You, my wife and Steve's kid I'm sure have very different interests/videos that they watch, and from very different regions. I had no idea he was that popular?

My daughter is pretty well plugged in, as I expect most 13 year olds are. :)
