Milkman delivers Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 10:46 AM) who's seeing your fb feed that would be breaking into your house but wouldn't know you were out of town or your typical work hours? It happens all the time. You only have to have one mutual friend with a junkie who's willing to pass the word on to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 01:55 PM) There are a ton of great things about facebook. Just like anything it is Garbage In, Garbage Out. Anything I can do on facebook I can do with other tools that do not require my life to become a circus freak show.

cabiness42 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 OK, switching the subject drastically away from Facebook: Anybody here in Mensa, or have a close friend/relative in Mensa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the point of having facebook if Im not going to become part of the facade? The three top practical ones, off of the top of my head. -To stay in contact with people who aren't easy to stay in contact with. -To be a part of groups that interest you -Disseminate information to people who are interested in whatever topic or group you want to get info out for/about.

It's not all that much different than posting things in this forum to a bunch of strangers. Why should we care about the concert you went to or your thoughts on George Zimmerman?

I am just giving you s*** about your hot dog stand, i wouldnt hesitate to try anything you eat. Im one of the few in this discussion that enjoys people on FB. Some of my friends and family are absolutely hilarious, some people post thoughts on music and videos that make me curious, i like watching news unfold on it. The only thing i truly do not enjoy on FB is political discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should we care about the concert you went to or your thoughts on George Zimmerman? You dont have to care. Im not asking anyone to care, thats why I share my thoughts as an anonymous name "Soxbadger" that is not a real human. The point of the message board for me is to allow me an outlet to flesh out ideas to a greater audience. Facebook is encapsulated. The people who can see my posts are my friends, the people who can comment, are my friends. What is the point of having 1,000 people who are just going to bow? I am looking for Jelly Monsters, I want the haters, I want the people who have extremely divergent ideas. Because that is what makes me think. So it is different, because on facebook I couldnt be me, I have to be the photo shopped bulls*** version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2013 -> 09:46 AM) 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. Traveling for work sucks. There might be a rare occasion where it isn't bad but most of the time you are wasting time at airports/on planes and typically working pretty long hours. Sure you might get a nice dinner or two but totally not f***ing worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
