I don't get it either. Same with posting pics of food or checking in at the gym on Facebook. Cool. I could care less that you're at the gym. The two things on social media that I hate the most, in this order are:

1. New mothers.

2. Couples that feel the need to broadcast how much they "love one another".

Number one is an automatic unfollow or unfriend for me. A new mother will almost always shove pictures by the dozens per day of her snot-faced little baby (most of the time it's hideous too) down their friends throats for months and maybe even years on end until they top out at age two. If it's someone that I knew from high school or something that I haven't seen in a decade, they get unfriended. It's usually preemptive too. I will usually do it right when they look like they're about to pop. Here's a solution to any of you about to have a kid: people, in general, don't give a **** about your baby. They don't care to watch it grow up. Start a private page on Facebook entitled "The Life of [Insert Baby's Name Here]", and invite your friends who actually care to come follow it. Post pictures there of little Jayden James Smithwick's first steps, snot running down his face, food time, bed time, etc. Your close friends and family will love it while the rest of your Facebook "friends" aren't inundated with this crap.

Number two is just a joke. In my experience, couples that post statuses of how much they love each other and how great their significant other is usually tend to break up. Reason is because they're overcompensating for something. Maybe she caught him getting it on with a girl on a cruise he was on with his "squad" or vice versa. Either way, it makes me sick. To people that do this: nobody gives a piece of goose **** that your relationship is on the rocks and you have to find ways to save face in public. Just let it go. You two are like the 8th graders that are making out on the pirate ship, gravitron, and zipper rides and in the corners of a fair. You want to spice things up and maybe take the obvious pressure out of things? Choke one another. Get kinky. But your relationship is none of our business so please stop making it our business and shut the **** up or you're getting the axe from me. And don't try to friend me again, because you're getting declined and probably blocked.

That was actually really cathartic. I feel like I need a cigarette now.

I'm glad the rant helped. I don't use that evil book but isn't that the purpose of facebook? I mean what else are you're supposed to do on there but put out your life onto the internet for others to see. Isn't that the point of it?

I'm fine with pics of peoples' lives and staying in touch with people I otherwise wouldn't. The two things that I mentioned, in particular, are what annoy me. Therefore, I usually unfollow or unfriend those people.

My rule of thumb is if someone or some couple needs multiple fb posts to convince themselves or others how great their lives are, it probably aint all that great.

I think everything is good in moderation like if its his/her bday, anniversary, etc a small post of gratefulness is ok. But i know the exact type of people ur referring to and yeah they dont last long on my feed.

I'm not on MyFace, but IMO, people should use it how they want to use it. If you want to post a million pics about stuff few others would care about, go nuts. If you want to ignore such people, ignore them.

(((SNIP)))

I don't mind that. It doesn't hurt me any. It's usually original content. I don't like how people will recycle fake news. I try to block it all, but it is just too much. How many variations of the Huffington Post does there need to be?

I'm only two more inspirational posts away from being able to function in the outside world.

Achievement Unlocked: Legendary Post!

I'm not worthy, Kontra! :D

I think you're suppose to find incredibly divisive topics and argue them to the death, as stubbornly and relentlessly as humanly possible to let them know that you mean business!
 
Thanks. It's something that I've needed to get off my chest for a while now, but I don't rant about things I see on Facebook on Facebook. People who do that deserve a lobotomy too.

What's this Facebook thing you speak of? Is it similar to the MyFace that BB talks about?
 


This is the Chris Long I am expecting, although probably on a bit of a lesser level. Either way, I think he's a good veteran signing, and I think he'll be ready to go.
 
I don't like how people will recycle fake news.

Some of the fake news stories and supposed public concerns are from 5+ years ago, so I find that terribly annoying.

You'd think that people would be savvy enough to try and find out whether or not the local McDonald's actually turned away a group of veterans this morning, "just because." Some of the stuff that people believe is ridiculous.
