Post about facebook in here.

My friend keeps putting these "clever" status updates up that he's stealing from online sites for cool status updates. This is retarded but what is MORE RETARDED is that chicks believe he's coming up with them on his own. Google it you stupid bitches! I don't know why this bothers me so much, and no it's not because I didn't think of it first.

I have a friend who posts pictures a lot. While some are OC, most are copypasta. No matter if they are or not, people think he was the clever man to come up with them. However, the ones that think that are not Internet people, so I laugh at them.

The FB Purity script is what kept me from abandoning Facebook two years ago. If you're tired of "so-and-so is now a friend of this-and-that" and the people whoring for game items, you should have gotten this yesterday.

If it's not an actual update of status or otherwise pertinent personal tidbit, I ignore it. If it's a cut & paste line of BS that's longer than three or four lines, I start thinking, "defriend this person".

Song lyrics as status updates.

Tweets or facebook status updates that are reactions to sporting event scores.

Generally mundane sharing of information like talking about how you're cleaning, or watching a certain TV show without commenting on it, or mentioning the food you're eating.

Hey, we have separate threads for that stuff here!

I'll admit I get pretty frustrated with the movie thread when people name movies and say absolutely nothing about them.

Just scores, or are you okay with reactions to wins?

I don't mind the song lyrics that much as long the same person isn't over doing it.

If it's a sport or game I don't give a shit about then those are a little annoying. But when it's me doing it with them I feel like we're all sort of watching together which is nice. So I guess I'm a hypocrite on that front.

and Yeah I don't need to know if you're cleaning your room or if it's "True Blood Time!" but food posts with pics are ok with me. Without pics it goes back to cleaning.

We have a "friend" I use the term loosely he's more like our mascot. He's always typing "At ____ eating_____ NOMNOMNOM" or NOMMING or something equally idiotic. I mean who the fuck actually uses that in every day speech/typing.

Those who nom frequently, I suppose.

Well, nothing's stopping you from asking whoever posted they saw it what they thought about it or something along those lines. Just sayin'.

I had someone who posted about his food on FB. I hid him from my feed. I look at his profile and read his wall when I decide to give a shit. This solution works for me.

I have 2 peoples feeds hidden. One because he keeps posting the music vids he's directed or shit about sneaker discounts. The other guy is just sneaker discounts.

Anyone know if you can see your pending friend request? Like the ones you sent out?

My mom just fucking tricked me into thinking these people wanted to request me as a friend but in reality she reccomended me to friend them. BUT I HAVE NO FUCKING DESIRE TO BE FRIENDS WITH ANYMORE FAMILY MEMBERS! I'm about to cull them from my friend list. I do not want to feel inhibited on facebook.

Google Plus or whatever is looking BETTTER AND BETTER!

Just wanna smash someones face in right now

I think if you have an outgoing friend request you can see it on their page. As in, you can't make a request to someone who has a pending request still waiting.

I have 1 person on my request page sitting in limbo. It's my wife's aunt who wants to sell me on her banking pyramid scheme so I'm not approving that shit...

Speaking of wives, interesting little quirk. If you set a relationship status and then unfriend that person, the status remains. I haven't been facebook friends with my wife for months, but she's still listed as my wife. I sometimes wonder if she's even noticed...

Man.

You know how some Rhodes Scholars like to say shit like, "O-M-G!" and "L-O-L!" in person?

What if people start saying, "Pound hungry! Pound excited!" and shit like that?

...

They're probably already doing it, aren't they?

Also fuck everyone who uses facebook as just another INTERNET forum and doesn't have any pictures of themselves (i.e. only my little pony and powerpuff girls).

This is facebook motherfucker I wanna see your motherfuckin face not some anime bullshit. I don't mind some avs like that, I mean shit I use cartoons and movie avs sometimes but if you click my shit you will see plenty of pics of me.

I have a relative that keeps copying and pasting everything she reads that says "if you BLAH BLAH BLAH, repost this message!" regardless of what it is, as if the Facebook police are going to ban her if she doesn't. What is worst of it is that a good number of them are long-debunked urban legends, or posts that don't even make any damned coherent sense. And her friends will comment about them in some panic. Like that Facebook is going to start charging people to use the site, because it was all over the internet and on TV... the internet and TV that apparently 6 billion people DON'T use. I will often link to snopes or somewhere to show her that none of this stuff she is posting it real and she's just continuing the chain of some big hoax... but then she'll take that post and re-post what *I* posted and tell me "Oh, I didn't know, one of my friends posted it so I was just passing it on."

I think I may have friended two people in the last year. The desire to find people died after about two weeks. But what pisses me off is when someone sends ME a friend's request, and then takes me of a month later. I can understand if *I* friend them and I end up being a dick or something and they don't want me to be part of their online acknowledgment, but what the hell is that shit?

There's another word for the reposters out there...it's "spammers".

Amen on the FB message board thing. It's especially bad now that it's football season, and all my psychotic friends are posting trash talk all the damn time. I'm about ready to hide everything they post, but that defeats the purpose of teh Facebook.

spooie · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 05, 2011, 03:57:15 PM »

Yeah. Unfortunately, she doesn't realize its spam.
