Catch-All Anything Thread

Definitely agreed about teachers. Granted, most of the girls I hang out with are bat s*** crazy but a lot of them are teachers and complain about their job day in and day out.

 

On a side note, we are all b****ing a lot today as well.

 

*quickly posts a rant about Soxtalk rants on Facebook*

 

 

My wife and I have, I think, tolerable Facebook habits: me, none, unless someone posts a picture of me at an event/party. Her, Facebook stalks the cool kids from high school that became fat/ugly/have awful careers and occasionally throws up pictures of our son but only about once a season or for special occasions (first time playing in leaves, first birthday, sees Santa, etc.), and it's only one or two pictures at the same time, not one a day or 400 in one day. And vacation it's usually one picture of the two of us with something cool in the background.

 

I've never checked in. I've never taken a picture of food. I've never provided a single status update. And I maybe have told one or two people happy birthday and responded or replied to a comment someone made that included me.

 

Other than being able to share a photo with friends/family, Facebook is awful. And it's making society awful. We're already a self-absorbed bunch and it's just getting worse.

When I first rescued my puppy, I probably over did it with pics. They were meant for relatives in southern Illinois but some people were probably annoyed by them.

I also hate "look I'm traveling for work, and I had a BEER in the airport"

 

I've traveled extensively for work for 7-8 years, there is nothing great about it at all.

[Kyyle23]

Hmmmm, I hope I dont over do it. I dont think I do, but I might.

Yeah, I've got one friend who posts multiple times a day, and it's always either checking in at some random hotel or airport or some political macro reposting.

I love when people are super passive aggressive on facebook. I didn't see it, but there was apparently a girl who lives with her fiancee and no one else, and she said something like "I hate when the people you live with are so grumpy and won't talk." It's like b****, we know who you're talking about, so why don't you go tell him this s*** yourself? Nobody gives a f***.

 

And then all the lemmings are like "OH HANG IN THERE DEAR, YOU'LL GET THROUGH THIS!" I so want to just b**** these people out and cuss up and down, but I never have the nerve to do so when I'm not masked by a vail of anonymity.

How about the one word "sad" "confused", and then the people telling them its ok or they will get through it or asking them whats wrong. If you need that much attention on the internet you need to make more friends.

[Soxbadger]

I dont have a facebook account. I get why a young High School me may have wanted one, when my ego/persona was driven by adulation. But at some point I decided that I didnt give a f*** about what other people thought.

 

The people that were just illusory friends from High School because of cliques and other bulls***, I could care less.

WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME??!?!?!?

[BigSqwert]

I don't think I overuse Facebook (maybe others think otherwise) but at my age when all of my friends are married and have kids it's easier to keep in touch. Especially since so many of them have moved to other cities over the years. I'm not a big fan of phone calls and communicating through email so those friends who are too good for Facebook have sadly fallen off my radar over time. I don't remember their birthdays or what their kids are up to. It's really not that hard to create a group on that site to share pics of the kids and to occasionally catch up with friends and relatives.

"I'm always there for you!" How much you wanna bet that if you actually called, those people would be too busy or ignore the call.

 

I am friends with a guy who is connected to like a $10 million fraud scheme and he is constantly talking about how he wants to be the mayor of Omaha and how he's representing his own business and whatever else. Meanwhile, he is the only student body president to ever be impeached. He had some 400+ unaccounted for miles on a state vehicle.

I use facebook to talk s*** to people primarily. I'm what we call a troll. I'll occasionally post random articles and such but I'm a very minor user needless to say. I want to delete it but I'm sure people would have a hissy fit about it.

All I generally do is make fun of people and try to be a smart ass. If I am doing something I feel is legitimately cool, I'll update facebook about it. About once every 3 months or so I'll go on a soapbox.

Groups are so underutilized. Its so easy to create a group and THEN share your s***.

 

 

 

 

also people who live together communicating how much they love each other on FB when they are in the same room drive me up a f***ing wall as well.

[Soxbadger]

To prove to everyone that they are in love.

 

Why do people instagram their watches, b****es, etc. To prove they matter.

 

The problem is that none of this matters, its all just background noise and our generation refuses to speak up.

Ha my buddies and I did this when we went to NOLA for our buddy's bachelor party.

Yeah but you arent going to Omaha for a work trip. Look at this view from my hilton.

I can still be useful for organizing parties/events, talking with a group of people (groups), etc.

I'm the same way, don't have one. It's turned into all about a cry for attention and look at me! bulls*** for way too many people. I guess that's what makes them feel important.

[witesoxfan]

Anyone else use Snapchat? I love it and think it's absolutely hilarious at times, but my buddy's wife just sends the stupidest ones out. "OHH LASAGNA MMMMM." I don't give a s*** what you are eating for dinner, send me something of you doing something funny

[Soxbadger]

The usefulness doesnt outweigh the terribleness. Its just another gilded age.

I have a snapchat, I barely send things, but every once in a while someone sends me something funny.

 

(edit)

 

Its kind of like my linkedin though, I never ask people to join my network, but I may accept your request.

Yeah, but that doesnt mean its Facebook material. People share entirely too much bulls*** on that thing these days. It's like showing me what crap meal you made for dinner, I just dont care. I think I've hid 85 percent of my friend list.

 

Haha, I've done the same thing. It's a great feature.

I usually just snap when I'm drunk and eating at Denny's. I always sing to my sausage

[Rowand44]

Snapchat can be a lot of fun.

There are a ton of great things about facebook. Just like anything it is Garbage In, Garbage Out.
