Computers Deleted Facebook Account - Page 15

ChiefRocka · 08-30-2013, 12:30 PM

Just deleted my Facebook account that I've had for the better part of the decade.

Final straws were:

-Wife got gas at the local Sonoco and she told me later that day some random dude tried to befriend her on FB. She looked at his profile and he works at the Sonoco station.

-Companies associated with TransUnion/Experian are building credit risk profles based on who your friends are on FB.

-Email from FB yesterday explaining that any/all data submitted on your profile can be used for whatever purpose they desire.

CONS > PROS

Goodbye

If you are going to dump FaceBook, first unfriend everyone on your list. Then remove any info that you have posted into your settings. Place of birth, schools, jobs, etc. Once you have a bare bones profile, change your name. You're allowed to do that several times. Then you go with A or B. "A" is that you make a boring name and fake up a few details then just never log on again. Just leave it. Don't delete it, just abandon it. No one else will notice it, and it will disappear much more cleanly than a deletion. "B" is that you make a fun or interesting name and turn your page into a fake celebrity. Make up a bunch of ridiculous details and post deep, meaningful quotes followed by drunken foolish party ramblings. Push that for as long as you want then let it flame out on its own. Either way you don't exist anymore.

This is actually really good advice IMO.

I was actually wondering your thoughts on that post.

There is a lot of truth to what you say about the soulmate thing but I don't think sane people actually believe in that concept anymore. Or maybe they do with these 50+% divorce rates these days..

But your whole life premise is based on the idea that the single life is somehow better than living with a partner. I don't knock you because that's your journey, but I can't say I agree.

You dont have to answer these questions and I'm really just curious, but you don't get lonely? What things do you like to do?

Nice dude. I have texted a couple of times on my wife's phone but that is it. Otherwise, I am right there with you. I have a company cell phone because they make me but, I don't own one. **** all that shit.

In her prime? Yeah. She was a fine piece. That's the only reason I married her. But heh, touche.

I assume that you have sworn off sex as well?

Do I get lonely? Not really. Like I said, maybe Halloween would be nice to date on, but in all honesty, I'll have a girlfriend for a little bit and it cures up that "loneliness" shit pretty damn quick, especially when I'm trying to read a good book or listen to my music and they want to watch the tv or ask you to turn it down. And they always want to watch the TV and ask you to turn it down.

I like to fish, hike, garden, read, cook, write poetry, camp, work on my piece of shit novel, volunteer with a couple of different organizations, work a lot and spend time with you wonderful folks. Just normal stuff like everyone else does.

And I'm not completely against relationships or marriage. But I'm not going to get completely bent out of shape about not having a girlfriend right here right now. If it happens, it happens, but I'm not throwing myself at the first person through the door in order to fulfill some psychological need of companionship/want.
