Society & Culture Facebook

yeh it honestly beats me

well, i think they do it to get attention

like i don't like, but can handle RIP posts - I think they are attention seeking but don't really get them.

But surely after 8 years this girl (who would've been 12 when her grandma died) has some closure about her gma dying of old age and has moved forward

I guess everyone's different. When my parents were battling cancer the last thing I wanted to do was publicly tell everyone on facebook what was going on.

Parents of small children are the ******* worst on Facebook. Always sharing articles like "Things only parents understand," "Things said on cops that you also say to your toddler," or "Reasons my kid was crying." And then you get the ones who send humorous and witty comics about kids to their partner, with the comment "Remind you of anyone? "

**** that off. Private message that boring shit. My wife and I have promised each other we're not going to degenerate into that sort of Facebook pest when we have kids.

I'm just happy that the only really bad kid stuff I get on my Facebook feed is contained within a STFU Parents blog.

I don't understand people who wish people who don't have FB a happy birthday on FB. E.g. my cousin did a photo collage and status for her 5 year old son's bday today. WHY?

I have a cousin (who I have probably previously complained about on this thread!) who posts endless pics of her 2yo daughter. Every occasion is really just an excuse to post pic of her daughter- eg her Dad's birthday, when posting a happy birthday message- might be nice to include a pic of her dad, but no, its a collage of about 12 pics of her 2yo "wishing grandad happy birthday". With father's day coming up this weekend I'm sure there will be another wave of daughter pics.

i was on my way to FB stardom when I commented on this

"wonder how the girls feeling that a still from her recent bukake scene was used for this story..."

Had sixty odd likes before the campaigners deleted it

BALKAN no doubt reported me the bastard

Holy shit, that bar sounds awesome.

Girl wished her grandma a happy birthday on FB today.

Her grandma has been dead for 8 years

Probably not that happy then.

I have people on my Facebook that post pictures of their kids. People are allowed to use it for whatever they like and I'm sure their family members appreciate getting those updates.

The fact is that your FB wall is going to be filled with shit from time to time. The stuff you like and interact with floats to the top so you have to put work in or else FB doesn't know how to arrange things. It's not psychic book

I'm not big on Facebook and don't have many friends on there but a decent % of them are dead (maybe being friends with me is bad luck..). The amount of cringeworthy posts that come months and even years after someone's death is incredible.

I had a mate who died in a construction accident last year who still gets weekly posts of his friends just chatting to him as if he was alive and the same thing for a mate who died earlier in the year from cancer. The latter is the worst though because he has 900+ friends on Facebook. Today someone actually shared an older post that they sent to him in 2012 about having a good night out. So embarrassing.

Another friend offed himself last week but the Facebook messages have been pretty tame thus far.

On the contrary, a friend I know offed herself last year and nobody writes to her anymore or leaves messages on her photos. Despite what I just said, I feel kind of sad for her. Same for another guy I know, even though he was a bit of a dropkick.

If people think that a dead person can check their Facebook, then just shoot them a ****ing private message. Anything else is just embarrassing.

Tell me your name so I can avoid any friend requests from you

I deleted my Facebook as I couldn't be bothered with the nonsense, too fake for my liking, friends posting pictures of a happy life they have. Oh a year ago we got engage and it was the best moment in my life sort of crap. That's nice and all for you but no one else gives a crap. wait to you get home and say it to her in person. bet ya you won't because you've secretly got relationship problems.

Not having facebook is the new Vegan

 

[TheFreshBanana]

At this point, people who complain about social media to me are all melded into one entity.

They all complain about the same things; Things people write on social media about dead people, hashtags, themed profile pictures, raising awareness via social media, baby photos.

It's the same complaint regurgitated every week. It's like an episode of Everybody Love Raymond, but instead of Ray Romano complaining about his family, they're complaining about social media.

Wrong.
People who had one and then deactivated it are the new vegan.

heck yeah, I'm a new aged vegan who can eat meat, better tell everyone about it

With the current refuge crisis, it's a great opportunity to weed out the dickheads on your friend list.

A girl on my friends list shared this today. She is 20



In her defense, completely turning all guys off her forever will help her avoid the heartbreak of having a boyfriend that doesn't hug her from behind

Not wrong. I thought I'd drop my 2c because I know an inordinate amount of dead people and it's fun to vent.

It reminds me of the type of people who compare different eras of music (the 'born in the wrong generation' type).

Seems more like a thing from a 16 year old but it's not really the most demanding list.

That list boils down to wanting a boyfriend thats respectful and affectionate. Nowhere near the worst dating related post I've seen shared (though it still is quite lame)

It's not what it says. I just can't believe someone could feel the need to share it. I dunno, like it if you feel like it applies to you, but it's not the sort of thing that is going to get you a boyfriend.

Who is she? "Cuddling" from behind is great!
