How to be insufferable on Facebook

[AMLinington]

worst. cat. photoshop. evah.

 

Sorry. Can't respond to this blatant trolling attempt. Brain still stuck on 'My friend is a vampire who doesn't eat normal food so doesn't have an anus' and how talking about excretion is 'triggering' for him and how people mentioning excretion is 'ableism'. I mean WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. F.... *headdesk*

 

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for freedom of expression and all that but how does that even work? It's not physically possible for any living organism of any description not to excrete in some form or other and don't start on the whole 'undead' thing because regardless of whether you consider yourself alive or dead, if you eat ANYTHING it takes up space in the body. Therefore you CANNOT continue to eat without excreting in some capacity otherwise you would literally be too full to eat after you'd consumed X volume of Y food.

The animal spirit thing has actually been around long before Tumblr. It was known as Therianthropy (shortened to Therians) who believed they were animal spirits in a human body. Therians were actually pretty benign and harmless as an Internet group aside from the occasional troll attacks, then edgy Tumblr 13-year-olds came along, tagged them as Otherkin and dragged the group into the mud.

Y'know, I wouldn't doubt that for a second. That sounds about right to how most small-circle beliefs go.. They keep themselves to themselves until trolls or trying-too-hard children want to proclaim they're half-dragon and it all descends into ridicule.

 

Assuming your whole audience is enraptured by you and your progeny is as obnoxious on Facebook as it would be in the middle of a Supermarket.

You bet you're ass I'm using this one next time someone won't stop harking on about their kids.. Ohh yes.

 

You gotta change it to Most Recent instead of Top stories!

Social Fixer addon to Google Chrome does that for me. I'm lazy like that.

You're only scratching the surface. Wait until you get to the white-hating transethnic people - literally Caucasians who believe they are spiritually African or w/e.

LOL really? Aside from the eye-hurting theme of the page I thought it was at least coherent. Although claiming that being encouraged to resign because she growled at customers like her werekin self was discriminatory and oppressive is beyond special snowflake. What really frightens me about that feed is the level of terrifying hatred and incoherent ranting about gender oppression. It's so hypocritical.

What's being posted on your lab rats wall.

Nope - I always have it on Most Recent and it still doesnt show everything. Sometimes I get notifications that a close friend has posted something but it doesnt appear - I have to go to their page to see it. Happens all the time to everyone around me too

I agree. What's worse is that I often get a different set of "Most recent" posts on my desktop to the ones I get on my iPhone and different again on the android app on my tablet. Very annoying

That's because facebook has some stupid algorithm that decides what you want to see and who you care about most. (Because adding them to your starred list isn't enough, right?) It's something to do with who you've recently interacted with.

Don't know if this still works, but a quick google led me here.

 

Edit: I guess it makes sense, on paper. Most people probably only really care about a select few contacts. We might prune our friends list and refuse people we don't know but I'll bet a lot of people don't. So yeah. Makes sense to just keep showing the same people based on who you've talked to recently.

I wish I could delete my facebook. I did a month off last year. It's just too much of a convenient way to interact with my friends. I think basically what I'm saying is that I am one lazy *****. Woof.

[Nibiru]

Have a look at the facebook fluff (aka facebook purity) browser add on. You can force fb to show the latest posts first, as well as get rid of all the junk thats thrown at you

[Garacesh]

Sounds like Social Fixer.

Social Fixer even had a dislike button until Facebook put the pressure on them to get rid of it, citing they want facebook to be a 'positive experience' (though, I don't really call getting bombarded with hookup-site ads a 'positive experience'.. Just because I'm male and single doesn't mean I want to hump everything with a pulse!)

Use ad blocker on chrome

[maark]

+1 for adblocker on chrome - use ghostery as well

[CAM]

That is what made me strip all my personal information before deleting my account, creepy adverts that start going "Age $age and still single? How Shameful, get hooked up!" :/

[Joanne]

better than ads for bulk buying nappies... on the assumption that I am 2# and married...

I don't.

 

That's really annoying.

I, for one, welcome our new context explaining overlords.

 

Attention/sympathy seeking posts with no information annoy me.

 

One of my sisters does that... Once she even got a bunch of "friends" to give her sympathy for something that was entirely HER FAULT.

[Garacesh]

I wish that existed. You have no idea.

[SiliconAlley_Sam]

Attention/sympathy seeking posts with no information annoy me.

 

Before Facebook they were always the domain of the MSN Messenger "Personal Message" or whatever they called it. It was either ambiguous "My life is awful" statements or, if feeling even more cryptic, emotional/telling song lyrics.

[Garacesh]

Ah, yes. MSN Messenger. You had display name and personal status.

"Just leave me alone everybody :("

 

SIGN THE F:censored:K OUT THEN!
