"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

Fine, then I'll just facebook y'all up en masse. Don't everybody reply at once, now. :D

? Try again, that should work.

Facebook has allowed me to see semi-naughty pictures of girls I know that I previously would have to just invent in my mind...

^^This. And all they get in return from me is boring pix of me wearing hats or cryptic music-related shots I use as profile photos.

ya the tradeoff is definitely one sided on my end too lol

I think I know how cankles is spending his days now

as a friend recently said to me: "I don't go on Facebook any more. I live in Facebook and occasionally I go on real life."

A certain D: truth to that.

"Drexel University will probably never hold a capacity of intelligence that empathizes beyond the disillusions of a nescient student body full of ignorant and defenseless minds. Without that key to fundamental intelligence, how can a school be able to channel it's own information reservoirs into perfectible systems that choose student-participated morality instead of dominant competition, or interpret class-bound job-bound Drexel-produced metaphors? A university that habitually martyrs itself on it's homemade propagative and prevaricate need to procreate and tell each other about it is a book that needs to be burned. Drexel fails to realize that it exports identical mechanized clone workers who are proud to insinuate their sexualized middle-class successes with their equally identical employer clones. Perhaps, this habit is known all too well, and a referral to the school of Creationism might have been a defective idea."

drexel should be razed and paved over

A 16-year-old kid from Arkadelphia, Arkansas, filed harassment charges against his mother, alleging she posted “slanderous” things about him on his Facebook page.

The mother, or someone posing as the mother, posted on the comments to that.

South Park episode on Facebook that just aired yesterday: http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/267112

Oh boy, I wasn't sure to post this here or in the "list and define savages" thread

some background:
a random chick liked my friend's status, so i started a conversation:

http://imm.io/jou

immediately after this i added her. she accepted, and i commented on the blurb in her newsfeed about "Stephanie and David are now friends":

brilliantly revealed btw, love the image-free first post

xpost. unbelievably, she gave him a nice reply back

and he answered with this:

neil strauss has so goddamn much to answer for

I left out this winner of a quote(s):

additional info:
her statuses are about her falling for tools and dumb guys who treat her like shit, so she's probably not a real winner herself. but i also think she's desperate/dumb enough to fuck the guy (me) from this scenario.

...

how the fuck do you convince a girl you're not creepy anyway? it seems like anything else i would have said could have been taken as creepy.

Can somebody help me out here? Is 14,000 a lot of friends for a company/organisation to have on Facebook? Need some idea of the numbers different companies can attract.
ta

that's a lot ime, unless we're talking coke or something?

It's the PFA.

more people need to gawp at those messages/posts Cunga has kindly relayed to us

really depends on the size/scope/appeal of the company - thats a good number for a small business - 10k is a significant milestone as facebook offers some pro features at that point

lol coke has 5m+

well suuure, if you want to offer popularity as some sort of indicator of success.

me and TK red lemonade know better

The thing with Coke, though, is that most people are probably fans of the PRODUCT more so than the COMPANY -- though in some cases it's probably hard to separate the two.

<3 coke the company, their accounts rock

supply chain is like WHOA

was looking at their org chart lately, ws that silo look they rockin

WELL, the date went alright i think. i had a great time, and i thought she did, too. but then when i said "we should do this again!" there was slight resignation in her voice with "oh, yea." i'm really fucking bad at reading social situations, so i'm not sure if i misread her having fun or if it was the way she said "oh, yea" that i missed.

i'd say there's a 30% chance of a second date. time will tell.

...

one time i had an impulse to go into the most embarrassing store i knew and buy the most embarrassing shirt i could find. hence the twilight shirt from hot topic.

and i wore a polar bear shirt instead. same vein, but less gay. i'm not convinced the clothes had much to do with it. we talked about religion, politics, and my complete sexual history. and most of those topics were her idea. she'd asking something, i'd say a little about a given topic, then wait for a response to make sure i hadn't gone too far. sure enough, she was playing right along with the conversation! i really don't know why she didn't want a second date; i'm trying really hard to think if it was something i did.

just a lil dude thinkin too much baout things

hang on, wha-

if she's the sort of chick who bought his BS, she ain't the sort of chick worth dating

unless you're this guy and in it for the stats :(

He came thisclose to wearing a Twilight shirt on the date. I am tempted to post the picture.

not heard it called that before

ok are you getting this all from a) 4chan or b) somethingawful

kinda confused by the concept of 'the stats' being a more likely explanation for a dude tryin to get laid than, y'know, gettin laid.

oh come on it's clearly a prestige thing

also next-level black-ops creepy and i hope she realises this ASAP

marc loi-y jagger rides again

Always good to abstractly defend a chick and call her "not worth dating" at the same time.

how has marc loi not made his way to ilx yet? ilx is the #1 result for his name.

Yes, I'm sure he would find us on that Google search and think 'what a welcoming community, why haven't I joined them?'

SOrry, I'm being an unfunny wise ass.

Oh what do I know, maybe she's having fun with him - she certainly seems self-aware enough to treat the whole thing as a joke, or a game. I was just lashing out at all of this because it's so fucking obvious and lame.

Well done to everybody involved, you're sure giving us all a lot to think about!
