People who use facebook are fucking nuts..
Or, old. I was saved because I chose a small Friendster clone to make my profile and then MySpace became popular and I was too lazy to build it anew. Also Facebook profiles are closed to non-members.
Also Facebook insists on real names and I was raised in the belief an online handle and a meatspace identity are kept separate, and never the twain shall meet.
It means I also dodged the social network game craze. I never clicked a cow or farmed a ville.
However, so many of my peers have Facebook accounts, and may have had to share their Facebook passwords with bosses who didn't trust them.
I'm going to agree but also point out that this notion that Facebook is somehow the coalescence point for the world's jackasses is totally delusional.
The world is filled with morons, spend 5 minutes on any platform and you'll see that.
There is nothing special about the younger generation and the apps they use, they are just as fucking ignorant as the Facebook users. I mean really, spend a few minutes on any social media app and you are bombarded by the pointless thoughts of every jackass who's ever felt they had some magic idea they just need to share.
