Are we considered "normal people" though?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 3 points 41 minutes ago

Here on social media we get to ensure that we only associate with other "normal" people. By our definition of "normal."

And then we get shocked when we discover that large numbers of people out there are not, in fact, "normal." Often when an election happens.

I often wonder as well because being a news reader makes me assume others are also following the news more closely than myself. When I test this theory by talking to people around me, I learn that maybe I’m more alone than I thought.

At least with social media I get to follow the news with all of you, my fellow nerds
