(1,085 posts)I really do not look at some website to make decisions about, well, anything.
As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Half of the things you read on the internet are untrue".
I walked into the credit union and there was a sign that said, "No face coverings allowed, including masks and hoodies" and I made a comment that was ironic as just a couple of years ago you could not get into this building without a mask.
I did that because I knew the person whom I was speaking to and we chuckled. Inquiring further I found out the place was recently robbed at gunpoint. I did not immediately run home, or snatch up my phone, to see if some random app somewhere had it listed.
When my truck was stolen, the people at the subdivision meeting knew about it because I told them about it when I attended the monthly meeting to discuss local issues. I did not check to see if some random app had logged the incident.
I know what is going on in my local community because I participate in my local community, not because I read about it on a website.
