It is a way to talk to people ho live far away who might not be able to via phone forms, I have made many friends via Facebook who I have done things in real life with. It is also a way to show your creative side (like for me, my photos that I take for fun). I don't do LinkedIn, Twitter, or other forms of social media, but Facebook has been a way to keep up with family, friends and enemies without having to be intrusive. Facebook is just another forum based website like pp, but with enhanced features.

e-mail can do the same thing with the "look at me" aspect...

oh and its not the same as the planet. fb only purpose is to collect data on you and sell it...
 
1. Sharing a meme or informational graphic that deals with a controversial topic but includes no original thought or comment from the person sharing it

2. Not fact checking ANYTHING before sharing (often combined with the above)

3. Requests to like and share. "Let's see how many people care about starving children. Like this photo if ...."

4. Personal rants that are entirely too personal to be thrown onto a public space. How do you even respond to it?

5. Sharing 'inspirational quotes' that almost always have a passive aggressive agenda OR are clearly attempts to get attention for the person sharing it

6. Anything related to God and/or God Facebook pages

7. Sharing posts that are CLEARLY CLEARLY CLEEEAAARRLLLYY clickbait, yet the person sharing takes it seriously

**** all that ^

Plenty of people use FB responsibly and without giving out actual data. I use it to keep in touch with real friends and family. To be honest, the only people I'm friends with on FB that I may not have met are peeps from here on PP, and I have met some of them.

But please , continue painting with a broad brush. Because, you know, that's real accuracy.

I forgot this one. Good call.

"Like=1 prayer/respect, share=10 prayer/respect, comment=100 prayer/respect. Ignore and you are a heartless devil worshiper."
 
I think it's hilarious to see one post with extremely liberal crap by some outlet and immediately after that I'll see another blurb about extremely conservative crap, all of which I never click on but am amused to see how people believe what they read, as though something legitimate could be summed up in a meme.

I mostly post sports stuff because most of my FB friends are into sports. On rare occasions I'll get into a political discussion that progresses from calm to homicidal rage pretty quickly. I keep that to a bare minimum, but some things I just feel the need to comment on.

I'm also friends with most of my daughter's friends, so I like to keep up with them that way since most of them spent half of their life at my house growing up and now that they're adults I have less real-life communication with them.

But sports, mostly.

You, and some of the others here, are "sports vaguebookers." If I see a FB comment that says, "Yes!" or "Oh shit!" I'm left to wonder, "What happened? What game is she watching? Then I have to cross-reference said post to the usual suspects to figure it out." :zzwhip:


wuv you, though.

Another good one. I let these pass by because I believe it is just a way for FB to target you for ads.

Sidebar: I have found that whatever I have just searched for on Google ends up as ads on my FB. I need to start Googling "bras" to have better ads. :coffee:

I completely agree. The key of course is just don't rise to the bait. Unfortunately I had no choice but to nominate myself for a Darwin award last Saturday.

I think everybody that reads this post needs to copy my great wisdom to their wall and to also change their avatar to mine for a period of not less than 24 hours in order for me to see if they are brainless enough to follow whatever I do or suggest no matter how stupid it is.

The reason you will not be able to resist is that I will pluck your heart strings with all of the tragic things that have happened to me and it would be very poor style if you told me to go fvck off after all that bad luck. Plus, the troops.

AmIrite?
