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

boom

WHY are they obsessed with getting me to chatz? That sidebar appears every 5 seconds no matter how many times I switch it off, and seems to float around taunting me. FUCKKKK OFFFFFF!

is anyone else noticing a bug where the # of 'likes' for certain things is absurdly high? one comment on a wall post has 287 likes atm. gf's account has the same bug, so I'm wondering how widespread it is.

i did notice that

I just thought my comments were really popular

so weird - saved a pic from the internet, tried to upload it to facebook via my hard drive and every time I do so it appends a caption from the site where it originated

guess facebook is trying to CYA

I think thats a site thing rather than a FB thing though I'm not sure - I've c&p'ed text from The Age paper and it appends a link to the article (grr) which I'd have to strip off. I see why they do it, but fuck it is annoying.

yeah but I didn't link to the site - I downloaded the image, then chose it from my hard drive. maybe it was reading some metadata or exif info?

Yeah thats what I mean. I wasnt pasting a link, I just cut and paste a bit of text out of an article and it did it!

ah yes. annoying and magical!

yeah that thing w/ the text is v crafty, a few websites do it now

drives me crazy

kind of a pain but if it's really annoying you can dl an exif editor and strip it out

Happens to me all the time.

Of course I'm copying and pasting the content from its original website to my company's website as a quote ala HuffPo, so I actually don't mind the link. Makes it easier for me to copy and paste that too.

omg

That's more YouTube material, imo.

fbook has gone MENTAL and shown me updates by all the people i ignore :/

Right now, they're not showing me anything.

But yeah, I hid a high school friend who had a sweet spot for some weird app game like Farmville. Thing is, her asinine posts still show up on the mobile version. I guess I'll just drop her, but if FB did its job, I wouldn't have to.

it's stopped now. phew.

Wouldn't let me post the last link I tried to - kept the text I'd written, deleted the link right off the bat, every time I tried.

So apparently Anonymous are planning on destroying Facebook on Nov 5.

My username is orvi✧✧✧.✧.jenk✧✧✧@hotm✧✧✧.c✧✧ and my password is ra5ca1. Have at it, Anonymous.

stoked for the madness

kinda shocked anon don't have a fb fan page tbh

Im stoked too. Only thing i would really miss would be contact info for all my friends.

What was funny was opening up the contacts in my HTC after I synced it with my Facebook account and realizing I suddenly have mobile numbers for all these people I don't even want to talk to via FB.

Download that shit! You even get the email addresses from the folks who don't make them visible.

*Oooh, I can blackmail all these people, but I dread letting them know!*

dude you're so weird

She's been gone since early March but my baby's back home now. I've been cooking up some of her favorite recipe most of the afternoon and I'll be spending all day with her tomorrow out at Sac Valley Shooting Center. Hopefully she performs as well as she looks now.

^ talking about ... a gun.

messaging service is misbehaving today

i tried to add a popular local comedian i've worked with a few times

Def 1st world problem

I saw David Tibet mention a while back that he had hit some kind of limit on the number of friends allowed (he befriends fans directly, rather than creating a page for himself/his musical endeavours, and currently has just shy of 5000 friends). I've seen popular figures with more than that though, so perhaps it was too many pending friend requests that was causing the problem for him too.

He would totally be my friend otherwise.

There's a 5000 friend limit but you can create fan pages that people can "like" - that is unlimited and anything posted will appear in the fan's feed. Also means famous people don't need to put up with fan crap appearing in their feeds so they can have an actual friend feed with irl friends on it.

Yeah, I keep getting a "Howabout this dude" friend 'suggestion' for John Lydon.

I clicked it, and got the message "he has to know you personally".

OK, BUT I DIDN'T ASK IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!

fucking error messages what the fuck is WRONG WITH EVERYTHING TODAY, all i want to do is send ONE FUCKING MESSAGE

FB ethics question: Some lunatic that I once had lunch with a few years ago wrote a screed about me (including the lolzy claim that I'm a 'douchebag hipster') on a friend's status message that I had commented on. The status message was about GRRM and I was complaining that he's not a very good writer, which is what provoked this guy. Anyway, I never speak to this person irl and had no idea he had such strongly held feelings about me. I blocked him on FB so I wouldn't have to deal with him again and asked my friend to take down the post denouncing me. My friend however claimed that he didn't want to censor the other guy and remove his message. I forced the issue and ultimately it was taken down but here's the question: Should my friend just have taken it down immediately bc friends don't let crazy ppl be jerks to friends on facebook, was he right that you shouldn't censor anyone, even if it's a personal attack on YOUR status message, or option (3) lulz internet?

friends don't let crazy ppl be jerks to friends on facebook

^^^^^this above all else is mandatory

I guess it sort of depends on the particular details of the situation. Is there any chance the guy was joking? If it were me and the guy was obviously just being an asshole needlessly I probably would have deleted the comment without having to be asked. So, in short, Lex OTM.

Yeah, he definitely wasn't joking. It was pretty vicious.

Yeah that's definitely not cool. :/

jus a lil facebook lets all be cool

Yes he should have deleted that. What the hell. It's Facebook, not a public forum for opinions.

Wait, that's not right. I mean it's this person's Facebook page and this person is not the government and this anti-Mordy comment is not political speech and somebody's FB wall isn't a public space.

So getting all lofty about not wanting to censor someone who says shitty things about your friends is kind of misplaced, imo.

if a friend of mine let another person badmouth me on fb and didn;t remove the post i'd consider that person a bad friend. "My friend however claimed that he didn't want to censor the other guy and remove his message." = this person needs to get a grip, maybe, it's fb not parliament.
