Right? "OMG, I'm going to lose my shit if I have to sit in another stupid Zoom call. Let me log on to my audio chat room so I can bitch about it to my friends that I've never met."
I had to look up this clubhouse thing...I don't do social media so I wasn't familiar with this.
So, this is basically a "party line" type thing, right?
LOL, I remember back as a kid, when we only had landlines.
There was a number we found you could dial and I guess it was a trunk line service folks used, but you could get a bunch of people on there, and we kids took it over, would chat all the time on it, never knew who was there, etc....met some new friends and a couple of cute girls that way.
They finally cut it off or I guess changed the code numbers, but while it lasted it was fun.
I guess that would be the first version of these things.
But anyway, I'd not use anything like this now, you aren't anonymous, and likely as not, someone will record it and potentially use it against you later in life.
"Excuse me newly elected senator....I have something I'd like for you to listen too from your teen years, before we discuss my new appointment."

Honestly, I have no idea. I didn't read past the summary, but that seems to be about it. Another place for self-important "media personalities" to broadcast their drivel.

My own Facebook history likely has enough cringe on it that I've already exempted myself from public service. It's the only social media I participate in, and I've only been on the platform for a relatively small portion of my life. With the multitudes of platforms, and having been posting since they knew how to write, I can't imagine ho
I'm so glad this stuff wasn't around in my teens and early twenties. All the dumb shit I did as a teenager is only vaguely recalled by my friends and I.
I'll go one step further.
I"m SO glad I grew up before cell phones where EVERYONE has a fscking camera all the time.
We'd not have had nearly so much fun if there were the risk of a picture somewhere, or a CCD camera somewhere....not to mentioned having our parents track our every move via our phones, etc.
It was nice growing up in an age of plausible denia

It was nice growing up in an age of plausible deniability.
Cheers to that.
