Life Why is facebook the dumbest thing ever? - Page 9

Dr. Johnny Fever · 03-03-2013, 02:00 AM

Seriously?

I had an original account I deativated 3 years ago because even 80% of my real friends are ****ing annoying.

So I started a new job 2 weeks ago and corporate likes "the talent" to have personal fb pages. So I started another. 2 weeks in and I deactivated it again tonight. I seriously don't care what they think... if fb stupidity is a requirement here then send me on to my next job.

Is this really what we've come to? Goddamn CP is full of stupid enough. Don't make me do facebook too.

BTW those of you on my fb friends list, you can go ahead and delete. Or whatever.

You should get one for the shop though. Free marketing is the right price.

Absolutely. Lots of small businesses make their Facebook page their website for the most part.

Well said!!! Now, I'll take a picture of the mirror when it says 109, but short of that, not so much.

Well, that explains the 3-4 year absence he took. Wonder if another hiatus is on the way now?

I don't get how somebody can love Chiefsplanet, but hate Facebook. Is it the loss of anonymity? Spraying your thoughts on every conceivable topic all over this site and posting them on Facebook are not all that different.

I think they're like beer and wine, both are based on alcohol, but the delivery is very different. And there are far too many assholes on Facebook just lying about how happy they are about their miserable lives. Read a lady's FB page before you head out for beers after work with the gang, and you'll wonder what happened to her on the way to the bar!

I don't see how people who haven't tried it can knock it. It's like saying you don't like a food you've never tried. How do you know?

FB is kinda dumb and annoying but everybody has it.

So instead of activating, deactivating, ativating, etc over and over. When you get tired of it, you just don't pay much attention to it.

I have an account. Glad I do. I post about once a month and rarely check it. It works for me.

And people who are annoying are quickly Unfriended or put on ignore.

Simple.

Facebook CAN be incredibly obnoxious, but if you put a little effort into it, I find it hard to believe anyone can really have a major issue with it. The problem many people run into is that they try to make it a dick measuring contest and adding/accepting every person they've ever met. When you do that, you end up with a giant wall of information about people you don't care about.

If you're either 1) very selective of who you are friends with or 2) go through the effort to move people who you don't care much about into your acquaintances list, your feed will be filled with a really easy way to keep up with what's going on in the lives of people you care about. Using groups for people you REALLY want to know everything they're up to (and clicking on that group specifically once in a while) can help as well.

Stick to the music connections, Noonan. There's a lot of bullshit, but Facebook can be a great way for artists to promote and distribute. Especially lesser known talent.

I just like to tell everyone that I haven't talked to in 20 years happy birthday.
