Why I Avoid Social Media

[Icculus]

While I do have a LinkedIn page I have not taken the time or effort to get a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account. In fact, I personally hate even the thought of facebook. To me besides the the whole find some booty thing, it’s just a bunch of nosy mufuckas.

I could give a damn about people from highschool or that I used to work with. If we ain't comunnicating now then obviously we weren’t that close in the first place. Who cares what the hell you been doing the last 5-10 yrs it hasn’t involved me or isn’t helping better my life so bounce.

Same thing in the streets, I hate when peeps come up to you like "remember me from highschool or member me from way back when"? I just givem the gas face and be like yeah so what.

If the kids wanna play with that shit then fine but to me most people are too old to be out tryin to make new friends to "hang out with"? and all that dumb shit

It really bugs me out at the info people will put on the internet about themselves. What happened to hittin up the bars, the thrill of the chase, out on the scene and shit?

Not to mention when you see these chicks friends and it’s hella dudes on there you gotta assume she done smashed with at least a 1/3 to 1/2 of these cats and here another cat is gettin excited to run up in it.

NO THANKS!!!!!!!!

Maybe you haven't been around long enough to actually realize that people lose connections through no fault of their own.

Anyone looking to hook up based upon a message board profile gets what they deserve.

Me neither. Genesis was so much better with Peter Gabriel.

While often compared to elvis Costello, I think huey Lewis is much darker in his satire.

Not enough dank memes.

Umm...thanks for your thoughts I guess? The only thing I use facebook for is organizing large gatherings (it's considerably easier than actually texting 50 people).

As a rapist I love facebook.

 

[xer0h0ur]

As a Facebook rape victim, I concur.

I agree about facebook. I just recently signed up for one to stay in touch with some people about my dad's funeral but 90% of facebook isn't even real discussion, it's women sharing pictures of "the perfect man does this..." or guys sharing pictures of "here's proof our guns are being taken away". I unfollowed all the annoying people and there's really nobody left lol I definitely won't be checking it very often.

Twitter though, I do like. It's nice to be able to hand pick the sports insiders, bloggers, musicians, whatever that you actually want to read things from without dealing with real people's relationship problems.

Rapebook.... a social media site that allows rapists and their victims to keep in touch....

My company gets most of our employees from social media advertising and networking. If you want to cruise around and look at the bad side, that's great. Certainly, there are people who want you to know what restaurant they are eating at and what dish they have chosen. Like almost anything else, it can be a waste of time or useful.

I once Went through SERE school. After that I cut all social media.

I agree with this completely but as a 21 year old, having 49 facebook friends definitely makes me feel like an outcast when other people will have like 2,000+.

I have a facebook account to keep in touch with relatives as I moved to a different part of the country. Rarely do more than say hi to cousins periodically.

I bet I can describe the exact room you were in when the decision to cut it out became clear.... :lol:

This is the closest thing to social media I have.
