why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

Yeah. I think I find it hard to understand the women who have kids still at home yet still play with the dolls. I can almost understand a women who never had but wanted kids or one whose adult children are not at home (almost) but the ones who have toddlers in one room and yet are dressing up and playing with their hyper realistic newborn dolls in the next? That I don't get.

fantasy children are more tractable and undemanding than real children

how? i guess i am not very FB savvy

go to the "friend's" fb page and there should be a drop-down near the top saying "following", pull that down and select "unfollow"

at this point I think I have more fb friends that I don't follow than ones that I do

the only risk in this strategy being that they post some major life event on fb and then when you see them you say "hey, how's things" and they're like "didn't you know"

Lol I've totally done that. If you didn't only post competition entries and statuses about 'cheeky drinks' then maybe I'd give a shit

This can also lead to situations where the FB friend outright *dies* without you knowing.

Had one friend die of cancer three years ago and family didn't convert page to Tribute page (as most people don't know that's an option).

Then her b'day arrived and she got several happy b'day wishes on FB from casual FB friends that actually didn't know she had died. Eerie as hell.

(Not that I'm saying "don't hide people" cos I do that a lot...just that the scenario above a weird byproduct of social media.)

if you just read the left side of this it makes total sense.

yo ... scott ... uh

x-post: That happened to me as well, though I hadn't unfollowed him, I just didn't notice he died. Just saw it was his birthday, thought 'oh yeah, we studied together, wonder how he's doing', went to his page and the first post is his widow talking about how much she still misses him. A sudden stroke, not even forty, newborn kid. Horrifying.

talk about fighting a losing battle

yes, if you think about how many historic documents we all encounter on a day-to-day basis it's truly shocking that this is even up for debate

No. People say you post too much repetitive, useless, idiotic crap about politics and religion.

the serious man of facebook

sharing life-changing GIF memes one at a time

Friend's fiance has started writing for atheistrepublic.com and reposting all of their awful articles and memes and it's getting real tough to not troll him

Watched a friend of mine who started as a Nü Atheist (hey, he has a unique musical talent) go through Islamaphobia into full-on post-Libertarian Naziism, and he was kind enough to document his journey through smarmy Facebook memes. The future sux.

kinda not down with iatee's being posted to ILX. totally get the point of doing so, mind you, but...

Yeah that's p much hate speech.

Not by iatee obv

To avoid the faux pas of missing a FB death, you can unfollow people apart from 'major life events'. I'm not friends with many people who post things that are truly infra digital, which I attribute to being careful with additions in the first place.

Previous pic than the puffin..

What's wrong with letting her sleep?

What's the point of running round shouting "this is normal" while acting like it's emergency ward 10?

Yeah, do those things, but calmly.

lots of things are natural and normal but also nasty

that harbl "we need more guys like this" one is on some other level, wow

super fucking creepy

"good morning honey, w-"
'GET UP! GET UP! NOW, GO GO GO!'
"Honey what's wrong, you look pale"
'no time for talk babe, I gotta get you in that shower'
"but can't it wait, I just wo..."
'NO TIME. there's NO..TIME! You gotta come with me, now....'
"Ow, let go of my arm, you're hurting me - can't you explain what's..."
'I don't have time for this right now! You're in pain, and I'VE GOT TO HELP YOU! If you don't come with me, then I don't know where this marriage is going'

If I wasn't single and I had a girlfriend

guys on the internet sure are fucking weird about women

oh god that whole post is like serial killer weird
