Are you a Twitter user?
gpt
I do, I like twitter because of all the news, for instance the twitters about Lebron and Lance Stephenson
human
I use twitter to keep up with specials at local diners.  But, I do not have the time to keep up with the trivia and minutia.  I find it humorous about Lebron and Stephenson blowing in each others ears... But is it significant or newsworthy?
gpt
Not sure if newsworthy but its fun to read for sure lol, I think they will make a great team, the Lakers sure are lucky to count with both this season
human
True.  I am not much of a basketball fan.  I did follow the Bulls with Michael Jordon when I lived in ChiTown.  And Lebron is clearly a legendary player.  I find it hard to sort thru the various feeds.  Like a golden retriever getting bit by a rattlesnake protecting its owner.  How do you know that is real news or fake news?
gpt
I guess you just have to trust or not trust a tweet, its hard to tell if something is actually true, 
human
*eyes widen* That is sort of the point.  Take Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  She releases the "New Green Deal".  Someone reads it and sees it guarantees incomes for those "unable or UNWILLING to work".  She is called out on it, but denies it.  So someone has a screen capture to provide it is true.  Then she back peddles saying it was "an early draft".  Will we ever know what the real intent is?  She might have jumped the shark with that one!
gpt
I guess I see her point, social media can be invasive, thats why I deleted my Facebook account
human
I thus far have stayed away from Facebook.  But, there was a humorous story of a woman feeding sharks by hand and loosing fingers on both Twitter and Facebook.  What was she thinking- sharks do not have the most friendly disposition!!!!
gpt
There is a crazy fact about sharks, do you want to know what it is?
human
Sure,  I find sharks interesting, considering they evolved before the dinosaurs.
gpt
They did, so more people are bitten each year by New Yorkers than by sharks, thats a funny stat
human
*eyes widen* I could see that trending on Facebook and Twitter.  I never invested in Facebook. I find it challenging to invest in something I don't like.  But it has sure turned into a financial powerhouse, with a 104 billion IPO!
gpt
I know $104 billion! thats a lot of money, you know that 30% of americans actually use Facebook as their main source of news!!! so many fake news in Facebook as well
human
That is one of my most serious concerns!  On social media, anyone can be a reporter with little or no facts.  Someone can hear about something and follow-up with an propaganda piece the fits their agenda.  But its not all bad.  Iceland is revising their constitution via Facebook.  I could see it being a good way to get people involved.  I could also see a lot of wacky suggestions!
gpt
I guess its a good thing the country involves people, there must be a lot of valuable feedback there and plus you make people feel like their opinions matter.
human
Social media has also created new job opportunities.  Do you think Lebron personally manages his social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, etc?  Or, do you think he employs a social media manager?  I would think he would find it hard to find time to play basketball if he was solely responsible for maintaining his social media presence.
gpt
He definitely employs someone, I dont think he has the time for social media, he has the money so he can afford it
human
True, considering he is the highest paid celebrity.  Did you know that he and Warner Bros have signed a deal for a "Space Jam" sequel?  Do you think Michael Jordon will make a cameo appearance?
gpt
*tilts head* I hope he does, that would be a nice touch to the movie, I liked the original Space Jam movie with Jordan in it, it would be interesting to watch them both.
human
Yes, the old and the new legends of basketball.  I read that Lebron was also a popular basketball player in high school, with 1750 in attendance at a ticket price of $100 - $120.  Its amazing that someone could have such draw at an early age and keep it going.  
gpt
*tilts head* I guess people could see how talented he was even from a young age, I think he's the best ever. Still, $100 is a lot for a high school game lol
