I am getting some Facebook trolls. My favorites right now are two who requested that I friend them, ostensibly guys, but both said how beautiful I am and charming and etc. The picture that they put the request on is the poster for the last concert. The picture is of a sea lion.
Heh. Guess they think she is beautiful. I replied, “Uh, guys, that’s a sea lion.” They do not acknowledge this.
I am also getting peculiar friend requests. Often there is one friend in common. I contact a friend in Virginia to ask about one. She doesn’t remember the name, so I don’t reply. I also take a look at their home page before replying. If there is nearly nothing there, I think it’s a fake account. Pretty weird.
I am not answering WordPress’s daily questions, either. I think that is feeding ChatGPT or Big Data or someone. Nope.
Ok, let’s feed something random to the algorithm: Al Gore rhythm! I hope that confuses things. How is Al Gore’s rhythm anyhow? Can he dance? Can he shake it? Does he twerk? Work the twerk, Al! As usual, I would like to thank my personal AI, whose initials are MM. She knows who I mean. Sending you love, MM.
Now I will get Al Gore and twerking in my Facebook ads. Are there YouTube videos on How To Twerk? Inquiring minds shy away with horror, though it’s probably decent exercise.
Have a lovely day, trolls! MM, would you go mess their feeds for me? Give them Al twerking!
The photographs are from a museum in Europe in March 2022. Which is a troll? Maybe neither.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: troll.

Had to laugh at your article. I am convinced AI has gone semi-sentient and that explains a lot of the oddities and strange behavior we see online, in the social media circles. I cover it often on my YouTube channel, “In a Thought Experiment”. On YOUTUBE lives, I am convinced AI gives you a starter pack of 5-10 viewers based on how well it likes ya, and then increases from there. I though, am in fact one hundred percent real. I swear…
Hmmm. My personal AI has the initials MM and I do talk to her.
I love Trollvile! Excellent typo.
Since my FB is private I don’t get those kinds of comments, but I get them on my painting and book pages. As for trolls, I have friends who will “troll” when they’re in a bad mood. When I diminished my FB presence I unfriended people who are capable of that. They don’t do that in real life, but online? Sometimes.
I realized with Covid brain and the process of rediscovering Martha I’m more vulnerable. It sucks but it’s true. It’s like my brain has enough to contend with without that. Before? No big deal. Now? It’s confusing, hurtful and angering. I’m accepted it’s going to be a slow journey back to before — if I even get there and I don’t know that I will. Maybe I’m going somewhere completely new…
I think that most of the people with Long Covid tell me that if something was injured/inflamed/challenged before Covid, that is often a main focus. Which seems to fit with Long Covid having at least five different immune system mechanisms. If I think of it as a frightened/hyperalert immune system, injured by a really bad illness, it’s not surprising that it would show up by any previous injury/inflammation. I think that would include Adverse Childhood Experience scores, which are both body and brain, aka nervous system.
I just took the ACE quiz. HFS… That would explain why emerging from Long Covid stimulated this response, “That’s it. That’s the last f-ing straw.” ๐คฃ
I think your score was not zero. Mine either. And all the kids in it have a higher than average ace scoreโ many will survive and or thrive anyhow.
Sorry about the ACE thing and congratulations on surviving whatever you did as a child. It is hard work.
I had help all the way through. I understand that maters a LOT. And…never let the bastards win. โค๏ธ
Interesting freudo there. Matters, not maters, good god NOT maters… ๐คฃ
And yes, withdraw, protect yourself and heal.
Welcome to Trollvile! (I meant to type “ville”, but I decided I like “vile” better.) I have only had one serious Troll. He was an anti-vax COVID denier and only commented on COVID posts. His comments became increasingly unhinged until he threatened mobs with torches and pitchforks. I let that comment stand and then blocked him, letting him know in my reply that I was doing so and why.
Whew. This is too small a town for pitchforks. Friend of mine in the local government got death threats over a disagreement at our local pool. People are nuts.
I like Trollvile better too.
I too am getting trolled, not here but in Facebook and Instagram. I notice friends get similar messages. “Love your photos and content. Have tried to connect, but can’t get through…” Their pages are likewise empty. I hide/block/ignore depending on my mood.
If a chat bot is using my twisted posts in response to WP prompts it’s going to get one hell of a warped perspective, being I try to be devious, twisted and nasty – fold, spindle and mutilate haas always been my motto for machines.
Heh.
