Anytime I accept a friend request from someone from elementary school, it's a terrifying mirror into what it'd be like if if I stayed Mormon, in Idaho. And also a reminder that most of the people in my hometown were really dumb, racist hicks.

Hmm, that's two friend requests from school people today- one of which I added before, then deleted about 18 months ago in a mass cull of school people I plain don't care about in hindsight, and one who messaged me a while ago that I didn't reply to. I guess it's 15yrs since we finished school, hope this isn't a prelude to a meet-up or something.

my ex's sister just friend-requested me. i've had not contact with her in the 4yrs since i split with her brother, i changed my name when i got married and we have no friends in common. so how did she find me??? i don't even use an email address for facebook that she would know.

i've noticed that a lot of married ppl have their maiden names show up in gray next to their married names, but that doesn't show up on my profile.

this is freaking me out.

"You Make Reading Fun"

Now I'll never hear that song as anything but a literacy anthem.

...this is freaking me out.

Is it possible you have friends in common?

Facebook just KNOWS!

so how did she find me?

by searching for your name?

Oh wait you changed your name.

Dunno then. Maybe someone told her your new name.

I know what you mean but I can't believe this. If you had stayed Mormon you'd still be Abbs, you couldn't NOT be.

like i said, we don't have any friends in common. the only people she knows that i know who could tell her my married name are the family i used to work for, and they know that i don't want her brother to ever find me. this whole thing caused me to have a terrifying nightmare about my ex last night :/

Facebook does seem to have this freaky power of presenting to you the worst people from your past, those who you never thought you'd see again. Maybe to get us all to spend money on therapy, I don't know.

facebook knows, everyone know, they just know

Anyone else getting wierd loading issues with FB today? If I go to the main page it just loads the URL with a blank page. If I flush my cache I can load FB's login page, log in, and see my news feed.

But then if I click on my profile it all goes to shit again. WTF.

Chat won't load, not that it's any great loss.

have been seeing exactly the same thing, trayce, although i wasn't bothered enough to try flushing my cache.

Weirdly, it isnt doing it on my pc at home. Just at work. Strange.

eh all my friend recommendations are suddenly fake accounts belonging to attractive middle eastern women?

I have been receiving friend requests from Filipino ladyboys lately.

'friend' requests

i was just trying to friend her officer *compulsively wipes bloody hands on bloody shirt*

It's OK, I've, uh, defriended her now.

A directory containing personal details about more than 100 million Facebook users has surfaced on an Internet file-sharing site.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/facebook/7912731/Law-student-wins-10000-after-being-branded-a-paedophile-on-Facebook.html

A law student left fearing reprisals after he was falsely named as a paedophile on Facebook has won a £10,000 libel damages payout at the High Court.

Chef, Jeremiah Barber, 24, posted child porn on the Facebook page of student, Raymond Bryce, along with the comment: "Ray, you like kids and you are gay so I bet you love this picture, Ha ha."

Barber, who had fallen out with Mr Bryce over an £80 debt, removed the post, made on 23 November 2008, within 24 hours.

But he later pleaded guilty to making and distributing an indecent image of a child at Stafford Crown Court and was ordered to carry out 150 hours unpaid work and handed a £1,200 costs bill.

Now top judge Mr Justice Tugendhat, sitting at London's High Court, has awarded Mr Bryce £10,000 in libel damages for the stress he endured, including anxiety that hundreds of people in his local area may have seen the post.

My sister is currently on my Facebook page, impugning my ability to make red velvet and cream cheese brownies. And for further mortification, she used 'your' for you're and 'by' for buy. KMT SMH.

We need proof before we can take sides in this debate. You must make brownies for everyone on ILX right away.

Brownies can be sent digitally these days, right?

Question: It seems that any old comment I make on anyone's posts, links, etc, shows up in everyone's feed...or at least, it shows up in my husband's feed. Is there any way I can turn this off?

Isnt that the idea tho? Im a bit confused.

Like if post on your wall, anyone who is looking at my feed sees that - but only if we're mutual friends, I think?

Say I am friends with Satan, and also my dad, and Satan & dad are definitely not friends with each other. Dad hates that I'm buds with Satan and wants no reminders of this. Say Satan posts a hilarious photo of his bifurcated cock, and I post a comment about it. Even though Satan and my dad are not friends, my comment & Satan's cock both show up in my dad's feed. Ideally, only mutual friends of Satan could see that I appreciate his wit, but as it stands, it's showing up in feeds of people who don't know or care about Satan. That's basically what's happening right now (I comment on some high school friend's post but my husband can still see it even though he is not friends w/high school friend, making me think everyone can see it). I would like to know if there is a way to stop it.

Hm yeah that shouldnt happen should it? I cant work out where yo'd set that tho, I had a squiz in the privacy settings but geez they dont make it easy to change shit.

LOL @ example, BTW!!! :D

Actually, this does not happen, at least not the way you describe it. Can you give a specific example of what is troubling you? There may actually be a way to fix it, believe it or not.

i think it does happen, if the person whose wall you posted to has a public profile

If Satan makes his cock photo a wall post on your wall, then yes, your dad can see it, because it's on your wall, and it shows up the same way as if you posted it yourself. I do wish people would stop doing this. I often delete posts like this, and if it's a friend I care about keeping, I may send then a message explaining why I nixed their post off my wall.

Satan should keep his cock on his own wall, and then your dad can't see your comments about it. As long as he's not friends with Satan.
