This has been a multi-year dichotomy for me, but she has been removing social media from her habits and life by a huge amount recently. She always knew I was anti social media because when we first got together when she would take a photo of me I would remind her not to post it to anything. Luckily she didn't think I was a complete wackjob.
The negative trend of social media's impact to individuals and the companies' practices, I think, has been obviously bad for over 15 years. That's when I deleted Facebook and other accounts. She deleted Facebook last year, and I think there are plenty more people that have or really want to.
The people that say they love scrolling Facebook, Tik Tok, or whatever is very low in my experience. The number of people that say they hate it but will still go home at the end of the day and sit on there for an hour or 2 every night is about 10x that of the people that outwardly say the enjoy it.

I grew up saying pop but I changed while working at a restaurant in Ames during college. I got too many blank stares when I would ask what pop they wanted from people from out of town/state so I just changed. I say them pretty interchangeably now, but in my mind and at home it will always be pop.

Sell them the north 3/4 of Minnesota and North Dakota, and Wisconsin minus Green Bay down to Milwaukee (recruiting grounds) and then the bottom 1-2 counties of Wisconsin.
Oh, also that Michigan part that Wisconsin isn’t smart enough just to take over that connects to them
That's why we had the 3rd!!
Actually, very proud of #1. She got accepted to med school starting this fall.
