I do not look at FB a great deal but since some of the people I know refuse to communicate by any other means it remains an essential part of my ability to keep up with some friends and family. I wish they would move to other platforms (such as this one) but any security demands that are more than a user/ pass where they can use the same password that they use for everything else in their lives is something they simply won't do. That is a shame because I think social media in a general sense is slowly making us all dumber and more depressed but whatever man! Live your own life!
When I logged in to find a picture that my aunt posted of my cousins I scrolled around a little bit and noticed a whole lotta this
I couldn't help but facepalm a little bit when I saw this over and over again (btw, I do not know the person above) and it got me thinking... "do we really have to have recognition for every little thing that we do in a social media sense?"
I am not one of those people that needs constant verification from the online community about what it is that I do in my life. It kind of reminds me of all of those stupid "I voted!" stickers that people were posting last year and I was always like "well f**king good for you! Do you want a cookie for that?"
Holy crap they moved Alaska!
I am a big believer in letting people do what they want and how I personally feel about the vaccine (I'm apprehensive but honestly don't really give AF) is not what is important here. I honestly think there are people out there with quite serious social media madness. They literally can't do anything in their lives without the need to get recognition for it. These are the same people that will take selfies when they are stuck in traffic, will make rants about something they saw in the grocery store, and of course before the world went batshit crazy over Covid they were the people that took pictures of all of their meals.... They should have made a sticker for that... it could have said "I ate today!"
Hooray for you!
I did not spend a great deal of time perusing FB because of all the things you can waste time on in the online world I feel as though FB is the biggest waste but I did notice one particular theme with all the people I know that were posting this: They were ALL liberals.
The vaccine has become a politically polarizing thing now too. I never paid too much attention to it because I'm more of a "live and let live" type person but literally every single person I know that was posting this are the same people that would parrot anti-Trump / Republican / conservative whatever the flavor of the week happened to be.
Unlike some other people I know in the redneck community, I actually DO have friends with differing points of view and I don't try to eliminate them from my lives because echo chambers are dangerous. Of course I met all of these people in college and they don't live in my area now... the area I live in now is coincidentally nearly 100% conservative and maybe I accidentally created my own real life echo chamber by moving here...
I do not care whether a person gets the jab or not. I have no intention of doing so but if it ends up being mandated by the government I will not be joining a Waco complex of resistance. I tend to look at it from the standpoint of "If it kills me, at least I don't have to pay taxes anymore."
But what say you? Are you experiencing the same thing in your neck of the woods? Are the liberals that you know shouting their vaccine accomplishments from the social-media mountaintops as well?
I'm not because I'm not friends with any libtards, but if it came down to it I would die in resisistance rather than submit to being injected with the eugenics mix.
Once in a while I go onto Fakebook and post a bunch of masktard and vaxtard and libtard pics as fast as i can, but don't actually look at the shitty site
haha, great response buddy. I agree with you. If it wasn't for my relatives that refuse to use any other platform, I would never go there either.
Yeah a lot of my extended family are attention whores on social media as well. It is a bit crazy to me that it has become political though, which it clearly has in the USA... just like everything else.
I left Facebook last September, after being on it for about 12 years. It was a fun place to reconnect with old friends and distant relatives when I first joined, but deteriorated into a string of senseless memes and liberal propaganda. I don't miss it. Some of my FB friends posted about absolutely everything they did, and it got annoying. One of them was incapable of going to the gym without telling us all about it. Another one had to brag about every craft she made and everything around the house she fixed, from plumbing to electrical problems. All three of those examples were people who seemed to thrive on the kudos they received from their FB friends. Also, the liberals were constantly calling the conservatives names, and vice versa. It was like kindergarten all over again. I'm glad I left.
This was a strong motivator for me to distance myself from it as well. I hated seeing people that I knew were friends back in high school and college turn on one another and say the most awful things to them. Nobody was "winning" in these situations, they just stressed themselves out. These days I would imagine that all of these people have blocked people they have known for 20 years over a disagreement over a political issue. It's pathetic.
FB is a liberal echo chamber that I left years ago. They locked me out for my posted views, and demanded I apologize for access! I refused, so now they post for me; on an account I can't a reach myself....
On the vaccine, there are too many poisons in it for me to seriously consider it. I have also already had the coronavirus, so it is only a pale reflection of my natural antibodies. BTW, quinine beat this virus in a day, so add some to your prepper supplies.
Be blessed, and ignore their lies!
♡♡♡♡Seriously? They post things that you did not authorize? That's crazy.
Yes, I may need to 'apologize' so I can reactivate the account, then I can delete all their posts, and cancel it out entirely!
>:(wow, i've never heard of this happening to anyone. Let em keep it unless it has your personal information on it I say.
I never trusted them with real information, but I don't like them 'speaking' for me! I had close to a thousand friends on that platform.
People don't realize that they insert posts in most every account, it just doesn't show up when you are posting too....
