Filter vs Reality

Don’t believe everything you see on Social media.

Filter vs Reality - What you see on social media isn't real life, and don't let these filters fool you. A filter called 'Filter v Reality'; when used, it applies a filter to one half of your face and leaves the other bare to highlight 'Reality'.

Covid filter

The protective discomfort that comes from viewing pre-Covid television shows and movies through the lens of currently necessary social/physical distancing and mask-wearing. Feeling distracted or distressed by characters that share food and drinks, talk closely, don't distance or wear masks.

I had a hard time turning off my Covid filter when watching Dirty Dancing. Everybody was just too close together and breathing each other's air.

Spam Filter

A simple tool to make sure that any important e-mail that from a sender you have not previously whitelisted will be hidden from sight, while most of the emails that still make it to your inbox will still be spam.

A device that saves no one any time if you want to catch all of your important mail from non-white listed senders, because you still have to manually search through all of the spam to check for the important e-mails within.

If the post office implemented a similar spam filter, your tax refunds and stimulus checks would not be delivered and unless you went in person to the post office to check through your spam, it would be put into the shredder after 30 days.

- Sorry, I didn't get your e-mail because my spam filter blocked it.

- Thank you for calling tech support. You were sent the license key. Please check your spam folder and change your spam filter settings to whitelist us.
- My spam filter blocked the job offer letter I got from the company and when I called them back 5 days later they already filled the position.

facial-fur filter

A.k.a. "mustache". Refers to where you are imbibing Pure Leaf tea or other liquid-libation which contains yucky dregs that you'd just as soon not hafta gag down while quenching your thirst, and so you angle your head back and slowly pour the beverage onto your mustache so that your Fu Manchu bristles catch most of the drink's offending particulate while allowing the refreshing liquid part to seep down through your upper-lip caterpillar and into your open mouth. Depending on the quantity and concentration of said sludgy sediments, you may need to pause frequently to wipe off the accumulated residues from your 'stache with a paper towel, but this minor inconvenience is small potatoes compared to the acute tongue/throat discomfort of having to actually ingest said stringy/gelatinous goo along with your flavorful fluid!

Utilizing your facial-fur filter takes some practice, but just like the upper-lip valve method of swigging your bottled whistle-wetter, this technique can indeed be perfected through careful and frequent employment, and allow you to guzzle your drink "cleanly"; i.e., without gagging or spilling anything on your shirt.

Filter Threshold

The threshold of information you are willing to tell someone.

Public = Highest

Friend = Middle

Double Bestest Buddy = Lowest

Most of my friends have a high Filter Threshold. Marigold doesn't though.
