Since people seem to act like asses on Facebook maybe they should just change it to Assbook

We just need to start a rival social media site that's marketed as super exclusive and watch the users roll in. BYOBook |

I think politics leads to a lot of strife and discourse, so there would have to be a "no politics" clause unless said content is just off-the-chain sweet and IN GOOD FUN. like, presidential candidate A riding a jetski up a ramp and into the gaping maw of a squirrel with demonic red eyes, or the face of presidential candidate B on that one viral meme image from a few years back of the 80s mullet dude looking sideways and sticking his tongue at a crowd as he's catching air in those three wheel motortrikes that were banned, and his Speedo thong is so skinny and tight up his rear end that his testicles are splayed out from both sides of it. basically, nearly perfect political images. ---------------- |

is there we could implement microtrans??? it's free2profile but if you want to upload pictures, text, privacy settings, etc you have to buy some BYOBBookBucks or BBBs and also they're 1000 for $200.

I didn't log in to facebook for like 9 years but didn't delete my account and for a while the only one who didn't get it was my mom she would post stuff and send me messages and would wonder why i didn't respond an i told her i didn't use it anymore but she refused to believe that i, as a member of the group kids these days, didn't use it, anyway eventually she gave up and last year i finally actually did the work to delete my account well that's my story of how an inactive fb account brutally trolled my mom |

I have a theory- you guys ever heard of an "extinction burst"? Simply put it's a burst of energy (often frantic and distressed) you experience when a conditioned idea stops working. The classic example is in a broken elevator, you push a button but nothing happens. So you push it again, and still nothing happens. Then, as the idea of "push button to make elevator go" dies, your brain goes into extinction burst, as you mash the button a whole bunch of times and grunt like a psychotic monkey. My theory is that social media, and specifically people using it without any sort of business purpose in mind, is the extinction burst of our social conditioning about fame. Not that long ago you had to be actually notable in some way for people around the world to be aware of you (with occasional exceptions that merely prompted people to note that fame was "fickle". Think the elevator that you only have to push the button twice sometimes). This meant there was an association, even a tenuous one, between fame and accomplishment. But now literally anybody can plaster their face all over literally the entire planet, so the connection between fame and accomplishment is stressed to the point of breaking, and everybody is having a giant flurry of frantic panicky energy about it as they hoard friends/subscribers/followers and gnaw feebly on the long-stripped bones of fame. A whole generation grew up dreaming of being some kind of radio/TV/movie/rock/whatever star, a status symbol that is swiftly dying in a more connected world. That realization that the fame elevator doesn't work anymore makes for a lot of screaming monkey button-mashing. TLDR

One of my favorite thing about Facebook is like where a business or individual offers something for sale, and a sort of exchange like this takes place: Seller: "One used bed, box frame and mattress for $300 for anyone who wants to come pick it up" Random person: "what size is it?" Seller: "It's a twin" Random person: "oh. I already have one of those." You see it so frequently... in this situation the seller doesn't really need to know why you aren't interested, you know? But it happens in other situations too. It gives the impression of complete obliviousness and seems so weird. |

I remember when facebook was new and was only accessible via a college email domain. I met quite a few friends by putting up what bands I liked, books I liked to read, etc. Then it opened up to the whole world and became a weight to maintain. But I had a 2 kids in the last 2 years, so now it's just a repository for putting up cute photos and having people get mushy about them. I took a new job in February and moved to NYC by myself, wife and kids to finally be coming up next month now that the house has sold. Facebook hasn't helped me meet anyone new, and it was the way I met new people when I moved for college years ago, so... I think I forgot how to make new friends. Now I've gone and made myself sad. That wasn't very chill. drat.

Couldn't it be the other way around, though? That the prevalence of mass exposure and ethereal nature of online attention is only proving that genuine fame does in fact require time and effort, and that just being out there only reduces your likelihood of being otherwise non-remarkable in the public's eye by 0.000001% (a benefit which everyone else gets, too)? I bet that sort of realization does make for some pretty mad monkey men. ---------------- |

Huh that was really interesting. I wonder if that's why I experience and acute disappointment or annoyance when playing a game for awhile and it suddenly seems boring. After the boredom sets in, I get a lot of negative feelings in not understanding why, despite me trying to push the happy button, I'm not feeling any happier or entertained.

I like to hang out with my personal friends over some drinks and some conversation, and I can find out what has been going on with them then, face to face. I like hanging out with my online friends here, because you all are my buddies! No facebook, but I did have a myspace back in the day, but just because my friend set one up for me because she demanded I have one, and then I just used it to promote the bands I was in and the shows we were playing, which was actually not bad back when there was a good music scene there. I miss the bands, but I think I am better off having just skipped facebook entirely.
