Baldo by Hector D. Cantú and Carlos Castellanos for November 14, 2023

empanadas?

That might have more to do with how popular this latest movie is rather than your popularity.

You have a right to your own opinion. I have liked TV shows and movies that weren’t very popular but if I liked them I would watch them and not worry about what others thought. It seems there is often a sort of “cult” following for certain shows and movies, a core group that loves them and you can find them online.

Truth hurts, Baldo.

Your worth isn’t tied to that.

That’s how I feel when I make an awesome comment on “Go Comics” and I get Crickets! I feel you Baldo!

one of the things wrong with people today is that their net worth is based on how many likes they get on un-social media posts.

They need to set time limits hard coded into platforms only 1 hour a day

the Marvels? yeah it was a box office disaster. I watched a review on the movie and I can see why.

Did you hashtag it, Baldo?

It’s not funny, but an insightful social commentary. We should not measure our worth by number of social media followers.

If I’m not in agreement with others, I don’t mind being a nobody=unknown, because I know that I’m not a nobody=without value.

And so it goes, Baldo…..so it goes!

They can’t all be blockbusters.

Yeah, Baldo, that’s true of all of us!

Give them a chance, Baldo — you just posted that!

No, the movie is a nothing burger.

I look forward to seeing it on Disney+. I know I’ll love it. I am not ashamed to admit, my tastes are not based on popularity

That’s social media for you. “Mmm. These tacos I bought are delish!” 36,827 likes —“I may have found the cure for a form of bone cancer at work today. Results look promising.” 2 likes.

I am not on most social media at all. I do have a Facebook account in my name and a second one in an alter ego name. About once a month to every two months I go and check the accounts – no one ever sends me any posts, but I want to keep the accounts active just in case I ever need them. Not on Twitter (X) or anything else. No need for that.

Now, it might be thought that because I am older I am not comfortable on a computer/the Internet. I first started using a computer – main frame running Fortran which we learned to program using punchcards while I was in my senior year of high school. Following that I took a course in programming BASIC using a remote station and magnetic tape while in college – and husband copied my homework. Our first home computer was an Atari 800, followed by Commodore 128, followed by 286 IBm Compatible as we have upgraded multiple times from same over the ensuing the decades (and thank goodness, we no need to program for ourselves). Currently running two desktops, 3 or 4 laptops of various vintages (this one being the newest of mine, but he has a newer one).

But Facebook and similar are not of interest to me.
