If You're Not On Facebook, It's Time To Get Over Yourself - General

Tried it, ended up sucking too much time. I don't have much self-control, so I've harnessed it into something of slightly more use - obsessively checking the news.

If I really want someone, I send a text or get them on Skype. I don't need a constant stream of bullshit that they are doing right at this moment. "BRB GOING FOR A SHIT"

[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;29278068]so according to facepunch: you don't have a facebook = you are antisocial and have no friends because your means of keeping in touch with real life people don't include the internet.[/QUOTE] which is quite odd considering about a year ago it was all "social networking is for morons" in fact, there was a time when as soon as anyone even mentioned myspace, everyone got all "shit fuck myspace is full of emos" and "facebook is full of idiots who can't spell" but seriously, who's forcing you to join a social networking site and add every person you see unless your actual friends are idiots i guess, in which case, well, that sucks for you.

[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;29296351]I'm 16, and during a job interview for Food Lion the interviewer tried to do a Facebook background check on me. Since everything I have is set to friends only, he asked me to sign in. I refused, and he told me to go home. I didn't get the job :([/QUOTE] Good. I wouldn't want to work for someone who feel the need to spy on me to trust me as an employee.

The original writer doesn't fully understand the whole privacy deal that's hovering facebook. It's not that some strange friends that you barely know can see your info, it's that Facebook has the rights to all of the information that you upload to their site. That means they can sell your information to advertisers and other companies. That's what I don't like about facebook. Also why should I be required by society to make my entire life public just because everyone else wants to?

Facebook is basically a comparison of egos where I live. Guys take pictures of their six-pack, girls take pics of their naked body with all the good stuff covered. Don't really see the point to it, but I have one either way.

[QUOTE=demoguy08;29296997]Good. I wouldn't want to work for someone who feel the need to spy on me to trust me as an employee.[/QUOTE] I have one of my managers as a friend on facebook. She's pretty alright though.

I don't have facebook because barely any of my friends have it. Not only that but I'm sure it'd feel a little awkward for both me and the people around me if I suddenly get it and ask to add them to my friends list when the last time I actually spoke with them was around August last year. I think I'll save it for my university years.

I don't hate Facebook, I just don't give a fuck about most people.

It'll be the day when I take advice from Gizmodo, they can't even secure their servers, I don't need them to tell me how to run my life.

Something about the article was just revelated to me: He writes that no-one cares about you not having a Facebook account, yet he wirtes a whole article about it :psyduck: And actually alot of people cares about me not having a facebook account, so it's bullshit anyways.

[QUOTE=Sanius;29277333]why the fuck does anybody care what social networking site people use? first it was myspace, now facebook. in a few years there's going to be a new fad. try actually talking to people face to face instead of using shit like facebook and texting. the only real use for facebook and such is to communicate with people who live far away from you. but all people use if for is to poke people and stupid bullshit like that when they live less than 10 miles away from each other and go to the same school or job.[/QUOTE] You are wrong. Having Facebook has many great uses, even when you are physically close to each other. Like when we have a long day at school we can discuss who orders food in our private FB group without having to shout through the whole class room and annoy the teachers. Or in the evening when everyone is learning stuff for the test the next day you can easily ask questions about it if you don't get something without having to visit/call 20 people who live "only" 10 miles away. It's also great for seeing what your friends are doing without meeting them daily.

It isn't even that i hate facebook, i understand people who use it, it's just old old old old old old It might be much better than myspace was when i was a teen (myspace sucked dicks) but I'm going on 23 now. I'm not fucking trolling around facebook, social networking has expired for me. Also [QUOTE=Robber;29297895]You are wrong.

I just deleted my facebook account so i could start a new one with out my parents on it.

So apparently if I don't go to Facebook but instead meet my friends in person every day I'm defending antisocial behaviour? [B]Good thing I'm at home on Facebook all the time instead, then[/B].

Just deleted my Facebook. Turns out deactivating it is just a ploy so they can keep all of your account into and such. It takes 14 days for the delete to actually happen. :argh:

I have 0 friends on FB. #Foreveralone [editline]19th April 2011[/editline] Should i make an FB acconut called right arm and profile picture hand and add it for relationsip or try to add myself relationsip with myself?

I dont have it, i hate the way people tell me about their lives when i dont care.

Facebook isn't a very useful social tool if you're; [img]http://www.wearmeme.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/wearmeme-forever-alone-black.jpg[/img] Forever alone.

it's ok for getting invited to events and shit, but that's about it. though it's funny when people write incriminating shit on there and it comes back to haunt them.

I use Facebook a lot. Like, every day. I check what's new, maybe add a comment on photo, 'like' someone's status etc. Sometimes I wonder what the fuck I'm doing on Facebook but then again I love it. It's a [I]great[/I] way to stay in touch with people or even get to know new people. I have a meager 400 friends, I know like, 60% of them in person (as in, talked to them IRL) and about 15% of those are actualy friends to which I talk on a regular basis. I know you think I'm showing off here but truth is I'm not really a sociable guy who knows everyone and talks to everyone but I try to. Thanks to Facebook I could actually somewhat improve my social life. Nevertheless, Facebook is a great tool to 'enhance' your social life. That's probably exaggerated but still, you know what I mean.

[QUOTE=thispieiscold;29301671]If your manager thinks he needs to monitor what you do for recreational purposes he's not worth your time[/QUOTE] This. You're probably better off not working there, afterall.

Facebook is for hipsters and high school girls. I have a profile, but Im only on once in about three months.

I love it when people tell me they have 476 friends and expect me to go AWWW SHIT U SOO COOL MAN. Which I don't.

I just have one to pretend that I'm social.
