Well. a little typing and 2 clicks, that is..
After seeing so many threads about the same damned thing, I finally decided to watch the news, and to ignore all the bluster-iffic, hyperbolic stuff of late. The whole NSA stuff will sort itself out, as will the disposition of Snowden..
I went to my account and used the trash can.. "Snowden" and "NSA"..
what a difference..
I can catch up anytime I like, but for now, I am glad to not have to wade through 50 threads , all arguing about stuff we don;t know the half-of yet, and may never truly "know"..

(103,856 posts)sometimes there is a point where about everything that needs to be said, has... well ..been said..
Doing this puts interesting things from page 5, back on page one...
there hasnt been a good fight about breastfeeding in a while! Or porn. We could do porn. Ha! Not literally of course. Unless...
Seriously though, Im considering doing the exact same thing. Its worse than primary season around here right now.

Easier to just erase the mind.

(103,856 posts)The threads are still "there" anytime I feel the need to look in
and an incessant "circular firing squad" routine from the same people about the same thing , does little to enlighten.
Sometimes, to find the needle, you just need to remove some hay

(20,277 posts)Today is the 6 month anniversary of Sandy Hook, people could very well lose their food stamps and that debacle in the WI senate yesterday - nobody seems to give a crap about that.

Whiskeytide
(4,461 posts)...You're really a privileged, white male NSA operative working for the Chinese ex-military on Blackwater's payroll to spread disinformation about the excessive media attention focused on how the media is ignoring the non-existent top-level security clearances needed by low level high-school musical dropouts with suspect GEDs in order to hack a liberally conservative reporter's computer to uncover new information that is only six years old about the European response to claims that the Patriot Act is legally unconstitutional and allows those from whom we need protection most to protect us from those who are trying to protect us from someone we haven't heard about yet. I'll bet your next post will be that Obama may or may not be a jack-booted, Harvard educated computer whiz posing as Anonymous to trap conservative bloggers posting photographs of some scantily clad, but clearly heartbroken, girl pole dancing.
I'm putting you on ignore so I can keep an eye on you, pal!!!!!

(3,182 posts)I have had quite enough of an entirely useless, time wasting bunch of scrolling looking for ANYthing of merit to read instead of the garbage taking over this board.
That, along with clicking the little x next to every single stupid animal thread without reading them makes DU actually useful again.
