mxzombie 01-30-2012 11:32 PM

do they really try to guilt you out of deleting your facebook by showing you pictures of your friends?

SuckSuckStyle 01-30-2012 11:33 PM

no dude omega concern thinks shapeshifting jew/aliens control the world's banks what you just said is what Facebook is doing.

Part of the reason for Facebook's cultural primacy is that it gets consumers to voluntarily submit information to be profiled and marketed to. That's why it's so "brilliant" and such a big money maker.

mxzombie 01-30-2012 11:36 PM

yeah i guess so. i just checked my facebook. nothing new, except my brother posted a picture of the whiteboard that the maintenance guy installed in his cubicle yesterday

...UPSIDE-DOWN! hahah!!!

Trotskilicious 01-30-2012 11:37 PM

it does bother me that my news feed is filled with ads for New York Giants merch and dating sites with pictures of women "in my area" i recognize from my soft core porn collecton. More than one has featured Denise Milani.

it bothers me that if you "like" Fight Club some 7 years ago, you get an insipid thing about how you are not your facebook profile (get it get it) and 500+ people "like" it, irony free.

yeah there's that, it's new, and then there's like 10 reasons why you want to quit and then each time you click on it, they counter it with some way to fix your problem

Trotskilicious 01-30-2012 11:39 PM

SERIOUSLY GUYS WE HAVE TO KILL THIS THING

TuralyonW3 01-30-2012 11:40 PM

I find Facebook a fantastic way to stay in touch with my friends in other states/countries

Trotskilicious 01-30-2012 11:42 PM

i think you pretty much ignored all the stuff i wrote about how lazy that is

mxzombie 01-30-2012 11:42 PM

i just use netphoria for that

Trotskilicious 01-30-2012 11:42 PM

i mean in 1975 you'd have to stay in touch with your friends by making an effort and now i just add them on face book! I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT

:confused:

Yeah well the problem is the majority of people have a problem doing that. People don't know how to properly communicate these days.

Dead Frequency 01-31-2012 12:01 AM

I don't get an understanding from whence that came forthwith how you mean.

in 1975 you couldnt play skyrim.

apples and oranges. but times they are a changin.

i'm not saying i like the evil parts of FB but i'm willing to put up with them (for now. i've been contemplating deleting my profile and making a new one just for correspondence) because it is a great tool to stay in touch. lazy? maybe. but in 1975 most people only kept in touch with a handful of friends. it was simpler, and keeping in touch was almost mandatory. but now people travel a lot and move a lot and meet many many more people in their lifetime. it's nice to be able to have a way to connect with those people when you want/need to. it's why people love the internet so much. I'm still a very avid post card-sender, but a 20 min chat with my crush in Germany is nice, too.

I live far away from a lot of my friends and family. it's nice to be able to share photos and updates with family members and friends when i'm far far away. a lot of people actually really appreciate it. It's also wonderful to be able to keep in touch with the people I meet from far far away.

if that means that FB knows where I am and that i like taco bell....i'm okay with it.
there are worse ways to be in the system, and there are plenty of other ways that your information gets passed around.

i guess it's just personal preference on how to fight your own infowar battle.

and this is coming from that kid who you all get annoyed with for ranting on about how 'off-grid' i want to be.

Trotskilicious 01-31-2012 12:22 AM

yeah so what i couldn't play skyrim maybe i'd do something productive with my life

facebook doesn't facilitate any of this, it's a product designed to seem like it does

you can do all of this with e-mail, which is not proprietary. or fuck how about talking to them on the phone or handwriting a letter and ******* pictures. I mean shit. Seriously, all of this is justifying laziness like being a lazy friend is socially ok now because facebook.
