these have been really bad this week in the wake of that 'strangers kissing' thing, every third thing on my feed is now *bad* black and white images of people doing something banal for the first time, or doing it every day for a year, and "The result is beyond..." (actually gets cut off there, fuuuuuuuck this). I realize a lot of these tropes have been around for ages, but it's the crummy low-contrast badly-lit B&W that unites them now.

Tempted to unfriend everyone I see repost this passive-aggressive bullshit:
"I am very selective when it comes to befriending friends and family that's why I don't have many on Facebook, but I'm doing this once and once only, so now's your chance.........It occurs to me that for each and every one of you on my friends list, I catch myself looking at your pictures, sharing jokes and news, as well as support during good and bad times. I am also happy to have you among my friends. We will see who will take the time to read this message until the end. If you appreciate your friends and family from all over the world, copy this into your status, even if it's just for a minute. I'm going to be watching to see who takes care of the friendship, just like me. Thank you all for being a part of my life. Copy and paste please, DON'T SHARE!! If no one reads my wall, this should be a very short experiment. So, if you read this, leave one word as to how we met. Only ONE word, then copy & paste this to your wall so I can leave a word"
― bizarro gazzara, Monday, 31 March 2014 13:10 (nine years ago) link
Ha, yeah, instant unfriend, also confusing as hell. Copy and paste, but add ONE word about how they met? Like at the end it would just say ''tree'' or ''street'' or ''doggystyle''?
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 31 March 2014 13:43 (nine years ago) link
"Is 'crack house' one word or two?"
― carl agatha, Monday, 31 March 2014 14:40 (nine years ago) link
I think what it's trying to say is: "Leave a word in the comments section saying how we met, then copy-paste this message into your own status so that I can leave a word on yours saying how we met." So the only way you can prove your friendship to this person is to impose the same friendship test on all your other friends...

facebook is the worst
― Nhex, Monday, 31 March 2014 16:08 (nine years ago) link
i don't have any data to back this up but i feel like there was a moment recently when facebook entered its decline -- like i can more easily envision its passing over to the land of myspace, friendster, etc. i mean, everyone know it would pass eventually but i feel like it's going to be sooner? no one seems excited about it anymore. i could be wrong though. i dont know what the kids are doing these days
― marcos, Monday, 31 March 2014 16:17 (nine years ago) link
The kids want nothing to do with Facebook, apparently.
I'm starting to see the same signs I saw with Flickr. Hit someone's profile, and yeah, they're still commenting on others' posts or posting a link to Between Two Ferns, but look at their albums. Seeing a lot of ones where the last one updated is something like "Christmas 2012" or "At the Lake 2013".
I'm finally at the point where I have Facebook friends and Instagram friends. I don't know what will come next to tie everything back together, but it seems really segmented right now and Facebook -- with its older audience, news feeds in the corner about Will Wheaton and menu bar full of apps that seemed to have come from out of nowhere -- is looking very Prodigy-like lately.
― pplains, Monday, 31 March 2014 16:23 (nine years ago) link
The counterpoint to that "the kids don't use facebook" argument is that we don't know that they won't start using it more when they get older. Snapchat and tumblr aren't of much use for creating a page to share pictures of your baby with family, tracking down your high school classmates, etc.

based on the principle that they say in heaven love comes first, she is making the logical error of assuming that if she is somewhere where love comes first that place is necessarily heaven.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 30 April 2014 12:20 (nine years ago) link
i dunno because again that appeal to one of the necessary attributes of Heaven - that love comes first - is immediately used as a demand that Heaven MUST BE BUILT, ON EARTH, and not left as an imaginary form of pacification

"This Is A Video EVERYONE Needs To See. For The First Time In My Life, I'm Speechless.“This media we call social is anything but, when we open our computers and it’s our doors we shut”… This is one of the most vital messages that everyone needs to hear.
Look Up is a spoken word for the “online” generation. Written, performed and directed by Gary Turk, it is an extremely important life lesson for our youth. Children are growing up in a world where they don’t play outside or communicate with their friends. It seems today everything is done via text message or over the internet. It’s heartbreaking… I feel guilty myself. We need to spread this message before it’s too late. Please do your part and SHARE it with everyone you know."

They call them the 'Telephone Generation'. For the Telephone Generation, the same amount of time has elapsed since the founding of the Lawn Tennis Association in 1888 as the declaration of war on Spain by England in 1762. To the Telephone Generation, arable enclosure is just a way of life. They do not know what it means to send a telegram or cast their own spearheads from bronze alloys. Feeling old yet?

During a robbery, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: “Don’t move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you.”Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called “Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: “Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!” This is called “Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do! When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): “Big brother, let’s count how much we got.” The older robber rebutted and said: “You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!” This is called “Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications! After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: “Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.This is called “Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!The supervisor says: “It will be good if there is a robbery every month.” This is called “Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: “We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!” This is called “Knowledge is worth as much as gold!” The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery. This is called “Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks! So who are the real robbers here?

Is there a way to change your visibility settings so it doesn't show everyone when you're going to an event? I find FB helpful to keep track of what shows I'm going to but I don't like that it clutters up peoples' feeds every time I add a danged event.
