MIMH's NailedPenguin's Thread of Facebook Hatred

Postby **NAN** » Mon Mar 14, 2016 12:01 pm

Life is so much better when you completely ignore facebook.
I don't mind it too much, as it's one of the only ways to keep in touch with friends from the past. I just can't believe the headlines I see in the "Trending" section as often as I do.

This is my view. I enjoy seeing people I was friends with in the past and how their lives are going.

But I pretty much only scroll through every so often to see that and maybe post one or two pictures a year.

lol, there is this "You know you are from Altoona if..." group that is top lulz. Tif, you should join. The other day though, someone posted a graphic "LET'S GET TRICKY--NAME PENNSYLVANIA CITIES THAT DON'T HAVE THE LETTER E". Seriously?

people can now shut their pi day holes for another year.

Actually I called it American pi day. The rest of the world celebrates on July 22.

The "news" section is SOOOO informative.

One of today's offerings:

WWE Raw: Professional Wrestling Entertainment TV Program Airs

Hot damn! I just *HAVE* to click on that!

I just realized those "Tasty" recipe GIFs all over Facebook are a branch of Buzzfeed. In hindsight, it makes perfect sense, but also explains why I irrationally hate them even though I've tried a couple.

Some people are apparently incapable of ever taking a photo where they aren't making a stupid face.

I'm not saying that I've never made a goofy face, but I don't plaster FB with those pictures either.

I have relatives that love tagging me in every **** photo that they post. Not pics of me from recently or when I was growing up, but pics that have nothing to do with me.

Their reason for it was "I thought you'd find this pic funny"

Maybe I would if you didn't tag me in 10 different pics in the same day.

On second thought, eh, probably not.

Die.

The mlm'ers are getting defensive too. "Wouldn't you rather help me than help Wal Mart, Target, Amazon, <insert store here>?

Sure but they aren't playing on our "friendship" and making a sad face if I'm not interested in what they are selling.

Because we haven't bought the property yet

Every time someone famous dies:

"While you are posting about the death of (x), here are the faces of 20 law enforcement professionals killed in the line of duty."

While I appreciate the sacrifice they and their families made and have lost people I knew who were cops killed on duty, my sadness over a musician who moved or influenced me is something I'll post about. if you think that diminishes the death of others, That's your problem cha-cha.

Yep.

I've seen about 40 versions of that meme involving everything from abandoned dogs to breast cancer victims.

Guy I went to high school with posted that his father passed away yesterday. One of the comments:

The only thing that I wouldn't believe is that she spontaneously combusted AND you happened to have a camera rolling.
