I liked it better when people actually posted stupid bullshit about their lives because I actually kind of care about a lot of that bullshit because they're my friends. Now it's just wacky videos and bad recipes.

I can't stand how they make facebook games as obnoxious as possible, suggesting that you invite your friends to play every time you go into the game. No I don't want to play Pudding Pop, what the gently caress is wrong with you?

Theres tobs of stupid poo poo on facebook. Why did i spend so much time befriending hippies for weed and parties?? Now my feed is constantly spewing generic hippie bullshit about galaxies in your tummy and how this little kid changes how you feel about love with one small gesture to an old dog.

The one good funny ironic pictures group I particioated in has turned into a IRONIC gore / gross out picture group too. loving stupid too.

90% of Facebook now is people posting lovely motivational posters and liking random poo poo nobody cares about and if not for the three or four people that occasionally organize events Id delete my profile.

Also there's a direct correlation between how often someone posts stuff on Facebook and how much of a train wreck their life is.

Once every three days or so and really only about interesting things you're doing with your life or if you're organizing an interesting event you want your friends to attend (actually interesting, not MLM bullshit).

Unless it's about your kids. Nobody but you is interested in your kids.

What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?
I gave up Facebook a few years ago after having dinner with a friend that posted constantly about how awesome his relationship was. At dinner he told me that his boyfriend had been sleeping on the couch for months, they hadn't had sex in a year and he was trying to figure out how to kick him out of the house. Yet a constant stream over that time about their awesome relationship.

So I quit Facebook because I don't have time for that poo poo and also I'm in my mid-thirties so most of it is people I went to high school and college with constantly posting about their dumb ugly children.

Facebook was OK for staying in touch with non-local friends in the beginning. Nowadays people think it is a serious platform to spout political opinions go on vegan crusades and cry about click-bait animal abuse with pictures that make you struggle to a) keep your breakfast down and b) not write them a lengthy hate mail about becoming shitheads for doing it.

I now visit Facebook maybe once a week if that.
People re-learned to write a whatsapp/call me if they want something as you should.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Agreed. I don't have Facebook, and I am a social retard.
