OMG Facebook

So, I am on Facebook. I don't say too much, but I keep in touch with old friends and my kids.

But kids have no self-filters.

Here's a copy of my last conversation with my daughter (the mother of my two-year-old grandon):

People seem to forget that a lot of people can read their posts. Did you like the message?

The fact that my daughter must have sneezed or something and peed her pants? Um, no. I can't say that I was impressed.

It's a brave new world...if I want to communicate with my kids that are in college I have to do it via facebook or Twitter....I also find out everything they have done wrong through the same sources.

So I'm right in that generation where I love Facebook and cannot, despite multiple attempts, understand the appeal of twitter. And I could not agree more about the ridiculousness of what some people post. Although I must say, Yooper, your daughter takes it to a level I have rarely seen.

My daughter shares a lot of information. Sometimes I just reply "EEEEWWWW!!!".

That's one of the side benefits of HBT. You can post drunken ramblings with little chance of exposing your dirty laundry to the world outside of our little (but growing) family.

Here it's almost expected!




Waits for the shart reveals. :cross:

I'm not sure what to say here, but I think just acknowledging this post suffices.

Wait until you go on dailymotion.com and facebook simultaneously advertises what you are watching. My mother in law didnt really need to know that I was watching Finnish women playing strip tug of war.

Friggin facebook.

I am also a FB user and not a twitter user but I can understand wanting one platform (FB) where you know your family/coworkers are and can limit what you say and one platform (twitter) where you can keep some anonymity. Otherwise I guess the appeal is being able to follow/talk to others without giving them access to all the FB account info.

Yeah, I guess the thing for me is i don't post things that I would only feel comfortable doing with "some anonymity." So maybe that's why I don't get it. It just seems like a more limited format to me.

lmao
i just peed my pants a little....lol...:cross:
i have to filter myself allot not to get into sum trouble with friends, work, family... i try to keep positive unless im really pissed off.. best thing is the flood of info you can get when 90% of my likes are about beer, brewerys, homebrew, LHBS, ect. everyone thinks i grow weed or sell cause of all my hop pictures i post especially when i have them on the gram scale in the pic

Would giveing that post a Thumbs Up be wrong?

In other news, everytime someone mentions a keggle here, I picture a woman with her own beer tap.

Dont look at me like that.

This made me chuckle.

Oh, on an off topic... Yooper, have YOU ever done anything that might cause embarrassment to her, say on a public forum??? :cross:

I've been on a hiring spree across the country and most of these recent college grads have friended me on FB which gives me a chance to look at photos of their their extra-curricular activities. I don't mind a few pictures of their drunken antics but I would be concerned if there were lots of pictures of them passed out in lawn chairs or face down in the yard. It makes me feel like a creepy old man but I want to know something about them before they start working for me.

Let me just say this.

I "unfriended" Homercidal.

:cross:

I remember when Facebook came out and it was exclusive to just college students. Then opened it up to everyone and it went downhill. My parents are on it and I've declined their friend requests multiple times. They don't understand that they are my parents and not my friends, and that degree of separation is good for all of us. Plus I don't want to delete every embarrassing picture or comment that they wouldn't like.

Now it seems like Facebook has devolved into constant baby picture updates - at least that seems to be what a lot of my peer group is doing now.

Pretty tame compared to what a few of my friends (in their 30s and 40s) post. Why the hell someone would want to broadcast that their junk smells like feta is beyond me.

You have to admit, it is rather impressive the full spectrum and range of junk related smells...

What are you waiting for Darwin? You'll never improve your fitness unless you keep up your reproductive rate
