Tell me about it, it gets really annoying. :T
[capslockbroke]I wish I never had a Facebook in the first place.
When I didn't have one, I was like "OH MY GOD, I WISH I HAD A FACEBOOK."
Started stalking everyone I could remember, then realized they're just shit people, deleted people, then stopped going to "People you May Know" section a loooong time ago.
And now it's boring...I don't even talk to the people that are actually decent and competent beings.
So many girls posting booby pics for likes (I mean, it was cute at first, but when you do it every FUCKING TIME to get males who don't really care much about your face).
Then there's the "OH MY GOD, GUYS ONLY WANT ONE THING!" and then, "WHY DON'T GUYS LIKE ME?!?!" and then "I'M SO UGLY!!!! BUT DON'T TAKE THIS AS ME FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS."
and then "OH MY GOD, I BROKE MY NAIL...HOLY SHIT SOMEONE CALL THE NEWS STATION AND POST THIS CLIMATIC AND HEARTBREAKING EVENT." and then they post "GIRLS THINK WITH THEIR HEARTS AND GUYS THINK WITH THEIR HEADS" and then someone finally makes a comment to just make them shut the fuck up and think on how they are contradicting their statements,
and the most annoying but so realisitic quote that keeps getting plastered that "TELL A GIRL SHE'S BEAUTIFUL, AND SHE'LL LIKE IT FOR A MOMENT, TELL HER SHE'S UGLY, AND SHE'LL HATE YOU FOREVER."
NO YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LIVE FOREVER!$!%!$ YOU'RE GOING TO DIE, AND NO ONE IS GOING TO GIVE A SHIT! I HATE THIS GENERATION!!!! NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRY TO AVOID THIS BULLSHIT, I JUST CAN'T BECAUSE I'M FORCED TO SEE THESE PEOPLE EVERYTIME.
AND PEOPLE KEEP WANTING TO BE FRIENDLY WITH ME WHEN I DON'T LIKE THEM.[/capslockbroke]

I deleted my Facebook. Life got much better. :)
That's why I don't have a FB account.
Well, that's just one more reason. Never have, probably never will.
I only have it because it's the only way to know if my three half-sisters are still alive, and other family members too.Quote:

And even if you only added people that you actually need and what groups you need the most, you can't escape the fact that you'll meet people, and they will want to add you, and you're afraid to reject it because they'll just think you're a douche bag.
It's really hard to have a Facebook for just receiving information for events for practice exams, worksheets, etc. WITHOUT someone finding your name out. And PEOPLE WON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT FACEBOOK, so you really can't ask a person to make their own site or use blogs because people will just forget it because of inconvenience.
I don't know what's worse, jumping off a cliff or having a Facebook to keep in touch with family and getting information that is ACTUALLY useful, but at the same time, being forced to add people you don't even know but still will meet in real life????
And I hate it when a person adds me, and we never talk in real life. I blocked one girl, and whenever I meet her, she always looks at me as if she's afraid of me...GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:(
DIE DIE DIE DIE GFUCKIGN DIE DIE!!!!!!! dIEEE!!! WHY WOn't YOU DIE GOD DAMN IT!!!

OH YM GOd, MY LIFE IS sOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COMPLICATED....lmfao
Okay, rant over....I need some fucking sleep...
In all honesty, just tell them you don't use it. Say that you only have it for school. They'll get over it, it's really not that big of a deal. If someone cares that much about having you as a Facebook friend that when it comes to their relationship with you they can't be happy without it, then fuck 'em. And yes, get some sleep. :content:
It's not that, it's just that if we're doing a group assignment in college, there's always that ass-fuck that says "OH MY GOD, I'll ADD YOU GUYS ON FACEBOOK AND WE'LL POST TIMES THAT WE CAN MEET TO WORK ON THEM."
So I HAVE TO GO ON OR else they will think I'm lazy or not being interested in getting a good grade. And they don't use phone texts at least because no one pays attention to them, but they DO pay attention to anything OTHER than college work.
It's that small message that branches into shit you can't escape.
EDIT:
And they don't use e-mail, because honestly, WHO IS GOING TO CHECK EVERY 5 MINUTES TO SEE IF A REVIEW SESSION IS GOING TO BE CANCELED ON E-MAIL!?!?!? USING E-MAIL is like trying to fuck a monkey....
BAH FUCK IT. DEAL WITH IT LINK.
I keep my email inbox open at all times. :P I still say fuck 'em. If they really cared, about you or the grade, they'd be willing to work around Facebook.
Yeah, plus most people have smart phones and it pops up whenever there is a new e-mail.
Actually MORE convenient than facebook, unless they're on there all the time....
I always just tell people I do have it but I never use it. And I've set it so only friends can search for me.
I will probably delete it soon, but it's just so much better than texting people coz it costs nothing.
laby + confusion = bed
facebook's a lot like american idol
no one likes it
everyone looks down on the people that tune in
but the owners are making millions and millions of dollars
If you're referring to B.Evo, I started this thread on here around the same time I started it there; I do that with a lot of my threads. That's not the forum I was referring to in the OP though. :PQuote:

It sometimes reminds me of scifi books where people live in different planets, domes and living quarters and communicate on some ansibelnet. But there is a firm behind that somehow sensores, monitores and guides the appropriete topics. That nobody talks about, but there isn't.. facebook developers had a small dream that crew into bigger dream.. maybe someone profits on it, but i seriously doubt that its dreaming of noncommunication. It's our own fears and prejustices, fear for communication.. and jealousy of profit and hate for commercials.. but commercials change by use (the target market DMT and quantum jumping to me) so it's basicly up to what we do in net ourselves
I come home from work planning to pull an all-nighter to get my homework done and see that like 10 people have responded to me. It's taken half an hour just to read it all, now to respond.
There's a difference between intelligence and knowledgeableness, but thank you.Quote:

Still, the knowledge of impending death might be an explanation. Also, about knowledge, I really am ignorant about a lot of the things that most people aren't ignorant of. I don't usually post in threads that I know nothing about, so that ignorance isn't apparent here.Quote:

The term open-mindedness can have many definitions. Of course it's okay to be willing to consider that any viewpoint might be true. But I think it helps to set a standard for determining likelihood. My problem is with people who ignore evidence and think that, just because everything is possible, means everything is equally likely.Quote:

I've had trouble for a while now deciding whether I should use terms like 'likely', 'somewhat', 'in my opinion', 'probably', etc. because those words should be implied anyway for anything that anyone says. But I usually use them anyway, because most people won't realise that. Maybe Alyzarin said what you're thinking, but I did recently start a thread on consciousness and what makes me me, so it could have been me you're thinking of too.Quote:

[an hour later] Oh my *@(#$ (@^#&, WHY. FUUUUCK
*shoots self*
Nice free verse Aly :)
:hug: Link, Gavin, anyone else who needs one.
Rocky's doing well. He's going to limp for a while but the swelling has gone down, he's using his foot more AND he's finally eating :)
My rant is that I had bad dreams last night and I tossed around a lot. I took one Minipress at 1:30AM when I went to bed and another some time later after I woke from a dream. All in all, the meds have made it possible to get more restful sleep more often. I guess nothing is 100%, 100% of th etime :D
I love FB, but only for the games. I tell people to send me a PM on FB if they want to talk. I never have chat open and I have so many random "friends" for the games that my page is always flooded with game stuff, as is my wall.
The wife of my step-son has worked with FB since it was founded. He has an amazing job as well and is looking to buy a Porche. He's about 33 years old.
So this is a response to Dianeva and Xei;Quote:

At the same time, it makes me terrified that I, and everyone else, may be just as much deluded, and the homeopaths think that their arguments are absolutely irrefutable. Obviously it's not true, but I worry about it.
Also Dianeva, don't bottle up your anger like that. Don't let it out either, but channel it to try and keep going with the discussion. When they started talking about rock consciousness, just be good humoured, maybe look a little patronising (this generally works in making people feel a bit self-conscious), and say "OK, so how exactly are rocks conscious? What makes you think that? What evidence do you have to support that?" and eventually they'll admit it's just intuition or they heard someone say it or something. That dead end should be enough for you to have the high ground in the argument and you hopefully wouldn't have that bottled up anger. They'll know you think they're a bit stupid for believing that and maybe that will turn them around a bit. I guess though you probably tried arguing with them about this sort of thing and they just got you more frustrated so you don't want to try again. In which case I guess their isn't anything to do.
Oh and sorry if I sound really patronising. I seriously can't help it. All my friends hate it.
And Xei, that sounds really sad. I guess she's just a lost cause. People like that seem to have some inner sanctum where their beliefs are totally impenetrable, surrounded by a force-field of circular arguments.
Nice point, thanks dark for pointing it out. I never saw the episode though.
Now I'm getting into doubt was it Kirk istead of Picard. Next Gen has so many seasons. In old Stark Trek there was at least one cilicoid based lifeform, that counts as concsious rock. Not sure about every Rock named human Though
A confusing read you have offered, as ever. Yeah, they do all follow a type of spiritualism similar to Buddhism, and that's where most of hteir thoughts are coming from.

I was really little bit afraid that my response would offend you for all nitpicking. Glad you took it in good way. It's nice to work within scientific paradigm and defend those things that are new waves of science. I really dig that. And in school it's hard to work outside intelligence and preassutions of others. It might even be hard to defend those points that new science supports for teachers sometimes aren't that updated or shouldn't teach it. Sometimes I wan't to blow up all the school [<- strong sarcasm here, so they don't prevent me coming to states at somepoint as potential 'terrorist'] for it's sometimes easier to study and cultivate theories outside the schoolconsensus.
I just realised I speak now more correctly, when you let loose :takethatfoo:.. Maybe what I was trying to point out that we all act more rationally and appreciate inteligence over other traits for school and science. It's fairly common in homecircles and among friends to try to detach from it. But it might be frustrating for if you're just getting a gling of how you're suppose to defend or recearch things that you've held true by your heart. Maybe also gotten somewhere with it.. then it's hard to divide yourself with something that now seems opposite or old-fasioned or dated data or downright dumb.
I have one beutifull memory of my dead grandma (while she was alive, offcourse) when we watch stars together and I was 'allready' an adult. I told her that stars are suns faraway which she to my suprise didn't know. She was overwhelmed by the thought which everybody should have known by that time. Her eyes went all dreamy, and I wondered how her unscientific mind would imagine the knowledge. I was little envious for her.
In nowdays world I back the Grant Morrisons thought that there aren't a single adult in this planet. There was when I was younger, but nowdays my senior seem quite lost in their worlds and childlike. After teenage many people play the I'm an adult game. Which can be fun for a while, but it's just a game you play to get yourself independent from them. It usually ends when you see that your parents have given up that game. My mum and her Husband are going through new 'negative age', but instead of "me, let me do it by myself, I can do it, go away, don't disturb, I'm not you" it's "us, let us do it by ourself, we can do it, go away, don't disturb us, we're independent". My sister pointed out the diffence. They're trying to adjust to new world by themself and don't want us to mess they're playng the house/family game
Fuck, I went downhill with my bicycle. I have a meal I bought from the Vietnamese Restaurant, normally when I take a right, there aren't cars around, but there's one coming my way, so that means I had to take a sharper turn. And the sand that was oddly placed in the corner of where I'm turning is not leveled right, so I fell to the side on the right and hit the lower right region of my back, and 3% of my meal is gone.
Now my back hurts like FUCK WHEN I STAND UP...FUCKK THIS MAN!! Even the cook who gave me the meal when he was done looked pissed overall, he just throws the utensils inside the bag. YOU FUCK ASS, IF YOU'RE PISSED, DON'T BE PISSED AT THE CUSTOMER....YOU FUCKING CRASKFJASDGSKHA...
OW my back! >.<!!!
I hate it when one bad event leads to another....it's usually an omen for tomorrow (Chemistry exam tomorrow and Biology the day after) ugh :facepalm: Lady luck, please don't leave me...owww
A flood occurred this morning in South Bulgaria and 3 people lost their lives. Those fools ( I mean the government, local authorities, what not) have known for weeks that heavy rainfalls are expected in that region, and they did nothing! :( And it was well known that the water level in that dam was very high. This tragedy could have been prevented. Fools! As if the general poverty in that region was not enough. people lost everything, everything. Damn! I know some of you would say that 3 victims is not that great loss, but believe me, it hurts. Especially when you know that those people are victims of someone's carelessness and irresponsibility. The dam is not that large, many things could have been done, fuck their stupid, empty heads!
It's times like these I take life for granted....I hate when that realization hits me in the face. It sucks that most people wouldn't really worry about that unless it were their own relatives, but it's hard to show sympathy to that sometimes because other people's deaths will not be recognized, it really sucks.
The government may be incompetents, but even the best cannot work miracles, even if they evacuated the citizens before the event occurred, people would probably go against leaving and just stay stubborn and let themselves get destroyed. It really sucks Sinoblak, but you can't stop it, it hurts, but it happens. I hope your day gets better later on though. :hug:
I really need to find a way to get things back to normal for me, this back pain shit just made me realize how easy it is to get into accidents. At least now I know not to go fast downhill and try to drift to corners >.<
I'm at home, sick ;_;
But, you have your laptop back now! So it's not all bad!Quote:

It was embarrassing, I kinda wanted to say "WHAT?!" .. because they have TVs on their treadmills too. But it was a loud lol so maybe it just scared them or something hehe.
