Things you WANTED to tell people on Facebook, but didn't

[HEADING=1]YOLO!! XD <33[/HEADING]

In other words, a stupid thing for stupid people to justify their stupid actions.

God damn does it get annoying.

*Sigh* I need to get my mind off of this Facebook stuff...


I feel much better, now.

To everyone:
"Facebook is stupid, stop using it."

I have one person on my list who forever goes in and out of depression and being happy, it's very obvious a lot is over-exaggerated.

She's also very open to lagging people off who are not on her friends list.

I only keep her as a friend because She's a professional photographer who's done me lots of freebies and things for my Daughter.

Mostly it's something along the lines of 'suck it up and stop being such a whiny brat'. Fortunately I've got a small enough friend circle on there that I don't have to put up with much of the usual crap that others with friends in the triple digits usually have to. I get pretty irritated and want to yell at the few people who upload hundreds of pictures of them and their flavour of the month, but, yeah, that's about it. I think I may just have gotten lucky there...

I recently called someone out (on Facebook) on their bullshit after they made a disparaging comment on Chafee and the $75M load to 38 Studios.

Him: So let me get this straight rhode island has enough money to give a video game company 75 mil...but the children in west warwick can't afford to play sports??

Me: Video game companies = jobs, jobs = money, money = less debt + poverty. Had it worked out, $75M would have turned into over $100M. It was a failed attempt, but it was never a bad idea.

Him: No sports or band at school = unhappy students, unhappy students = bad grades, bad grades = no college, no college = no people to give those jobs to

Me: Clearly if students don't have sports or band they will be unhappy, everyone at high school either does in-school sports or is involved in the band, and they are all happy and get good grades.

Except that's not true at all, and there is no data to back up that assertion.
Additionally you're suggesting that the only jobs that could be made would be entirely from West Warwick, a point I don't need to elaborate on for it to be blatantly incorrect.

Finally, I encourage you to look over this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loan ; upon completion, perhaps you may see why investing $75M into a company with potential for massive profits might be worth not focusing attention on a single minority of a single town.

(PS: I did some research. West Warwick has both sports teams and a band. http://www.westwarwickpublicschools.com/education/school/school.php?sectionid=7 . gg)

He never did respond.

(also, we're both Rhode Islanders, which is why the topic came up.)

I'd tell an old childhood friend to stay single for awhile. And to stop posting ambiguous, attention-seeking status updates like, "Hmmm..." and "Sob sob =´(".

In the past year she has been together with three women, each one has been "the love of her life", and between each one she stayed single 2 or 3 months, TOPS. The last one she got in engaged with THREE times because they were "so in love and wanted to prove it", and then two weeks ago they broke up because she was cheating on my FB friend.

STAY SINGLE FOR AT LEAST SIX MONTHS THIS TIME! AAAAAAARGH! /capslock rage


(Thanks for the chance to rage a little, OP; feel a bit better now.)

Friended a friend of my girlfriend of Facebook, who, despite being a pleasant and lovely person, is completely intolerable on Facebook. She's one of the ones who posts ridiculously lovey-dovey and melodramatic statuses constantly, or shares all those terribly cliched pictures about love or being yourself or so on, and puts up terrible photoshopped pictures of herself from a webcam (with all sorts of text scrawled across and lens flares and about 3 different effects at once). I eventually had to hide her posts, before my eyes rolled themselves out of my head.

I mostly avoid politics on Facebook, since my only interest is in pointing out when a politician is being a prick, and I can't sit around all day doing that.

I wanted to post this because it is kind of hilarious. Realised I have no actual friends to share it with.

You honestly just made my day. Thank you.

OT: Every stoner friend I have who is convinced weed is a magical wonder plant that can do nothing but good. So many times I've wanted to tell them that inhaling smoke is never good for you. But if I have to hear "government propaganda" or "sheeple" again I will hang myself

Most of the time it's just a short and simple 'shut the fuck up'.

If someone just puts as their status I just want to tell them to stop being an attention whore and that nobody cares about their stupid, inconsequential problems.

I only have one friend that posts political things on his FB, and it's always some gay activist pictures that try to be edgy and in your face but essentially just preach to the choir because I'm pretty sure his friends and family share the same view : \
It doesn't bother me THAT much, but it's a little irritating to have three of these on my front page every day.

I find the people who share every single thing they see on 9gag and funnyjunk a little more annoying than people who post political dribble. Also people who whine about their relationship issues and try to get attention (my ex used to do this every time we had a minor disagreement and it drove me FUCKING MAD, especially when people would reply with "you go girl!"). Also people who always post about being depressed.

I would like to tell a lot of these people to SHUT THE HELL UP, but I'm a little too passive to do something like that....

This, so very much this, especially the part about the gay activist and sharing things from damnlol and the like. I have one guy I went to high school with who's a gay activist as a friend on FB, and if his posts are anything to go by that's ALL he is. After a point your opinion of him goes from "good for you for expressing yourself" to "we get it, you're gay, SHUT UP about it!" Then I have a friend I had to remove from my newsfeed because he would get on damnlol or somewhere like that for an hour and share every single photo he liked. It got too tedious having to scroll through 20 pictures just to get to an actual post.

I saw a post on facebook that said "I wish that R.I.P. meant "Return if Possible" refering to a friend that passed away or something, but all I could think to type was "ZOMBIES!!!!"
