I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring

What will happen:

B. China washes their hands of North Korea. Kim is now unchecked.
What will NOT happen:
A. The cessation of Kim's nuclear ambitions.
B. Any form of arms-control agreement as with Iran. Trump is incapable of doing anything but shitting on existing agreements as 'bad deals.'
C. Any action that can be construed as China doing America's bidding.

(Yes, the statement above is factually incorrect - AOL and Time Warner split up in 2009 - but why get facts get in the way of an ALL CAPS argument?)
