CUZ HE'S BLIND AND HE CAN'T SEE THE KEYS!

HEY, I'M GOING TO START A HELEN KELLER ONE! Whee!!!!!!!!!!

What's interesting about that is that (presuming it's genuine - and by genuine I mean a genuine Twitter account and not genuinely Stevie Wonder) the person hasn't just done it as a one off, but seems to return to repeat the joke at regular intervals. Dedication.

[atsonicpark]

I agree, it's dedicated, but not surprising, since this society is breeding internet addicts who exist solely in this virtual world and have no human interaction aside from asking their parents for money to sustain their habits. LOL, "sAYS THE GUY WITH 23000 POSTZ!" Sure. But this is the only message board I constantly post to, and I don't have a twitter and all that bullshit and am thinking of deleting Facebook after my new DVD sells out (though I've not sold any because of Facebook, the people I've sold to so far have been people who I talk to on a regular basis outside of that site) because it is a shithole, it is an intrusive piece of fucking shit, just like I knew it was, a few girls talk to me and a bunch of fucking losers (some with wives and kids) who don't know these people add them because facebook doesn't have something simple like the ability to hide your fucking friends list, and they think talking to them online will get them the ability to fuck them. Myspace is about a billion times better -- well, it used to be, but now it's a fucking ghost town because everyone moved to the shithole known as FB, with no clear advantages over there except the ability to be creepier. Myspace makes things simple, makes things private, and you can surf on it in "Lite" mode so you don't get on the pages with thousands of flashing ads and shitty songs playing (though, why would you even BE friends with a person who has all that bullshit anyway? What the fuck are they trying to prove? "OH LOOK AT ME, I KNOW HTML, AREN'T I INTERNET-KEWL?!" Who the fuck DOESN'T know some html? It's 2010!) Also, facebook is terrible for band pages, I love all these hypocrites who get on their myspace page one day "FUCK FACEBOOK WE'RE NEVER LEAVING" and the next day, they say ,"ADD US ON FACEBOOK NOW! EVEN THOUGH IT SUCKS!" As if having a huge fucking internet following, or a bursting friends list, on either site, makes a fucking difference! I have like 6000 Scissor Shock friends on myspace, I've never sat around and added them, I just accept friends requests, why would you go out of your way to ad people who don't give a fuck? There's simply too much information out there for people to take in, yet I know annoyign fuckes who sit around all day and add entire friends lists to appear to be "cool" and "internet-relevant" (and then proceed to reply to everyone's posts, even if it's something completely pointless, in order to get that attention that they crave, in the form of a 'response'). It doesn't mater if you have 5085240853 friends or 5 friends who actually CARE, you're still going to have, wait for it, 5 friends who actually care. See what I did there? Facebook is MAINLY a site for a bunch of lameass people with no lives and nothing going on to post shit that no one gives a fuck about (that doesn't apply to everyone, mainly look for the people who do a billion activities a day -- another creepy-ass feature, though at least you can "Remove" those and make them invisible, yet I'm not completely sure because I've removed things and then one of my jealous "friends" who don't have an interesting idea of their own, joins the same group or whatever a few hours after I've removed it). Sure, I've posted quite a few things on there, I gave it a chance, but after a month and a half, I've realized that no one gives a fuck! Being on there hasn't netted me any real internet friends (and definitely not any illusion of a REAL-LIFE - -whatever the fuck that is --friendship) or turned me on to ANYTHING interesting, the whole site is the illusion of progress, the illusion of doing something new and relevant and interesting -- "hey man, I joined the group DETROIT TECHNO like you told me to! CAn't fucking wait to, hm, never post in it, never do anything with it, just have it represent who I am." Facebook is good in theory but it's like the rest of the world, and the rest of society, people with no fucking common sense, who are just trying to e-fuck a bunch of young fatass girls. Look, I've been horny many times in my life, and done plenty of hot fucking in my life, but really now... who is lame enough to add a "hot grrl" (note: probably fat, with good photoshop skills, bad lighting, and good angles -- PUTTING PERFUME ON A FUCKING PIG) just because she's a "hot grrl"? Don't get me wrong, I can see you adding an INTERESTING grrl, but 99% of people on FB are fucking creepy fucks, OMIGOD UR SO HOT, I KNOW U LIVE 36346634 MILES AWAY BUT LETZ FUKK. 4 fucking girls have msg'd me lately because one of my creepy creeper asshole idiotic "fwendz" decided to add every girl on my facebook list. I can't wait for the next lame ass social networking site to come along. When I first joined, and hundreds of people began adding me, I was like DAMN! COOL! PEOPLE LIKE ME! WOW! Then, I realized most people just want fatass friends lists. I'm not knocking anyone here, maybe I just have a lot of the "wrong" friends on mine, because a lot of my "friends" on there are straight-up creepy fuckers... I think what I need to do, for the first time in the history of Facebook, is remove a shit ton of people, leave the people who matter. Or perhaps never log in again. What really did me in was one of my internet friends, who I've talked to for 10 years, and is a girl, msg'd me today, and said that one of my real life acquaintances has tried to add her 4 times and she keeps denying him and finally she said, "Stop fucking adding me, I don't know you, you're fucking creepy." And then she bitched to me about it, as if I had approved it or something. I never would. That's the kind of behaviour I hate.

Also, I have H1N1. So, sorry if I'm pissed.

[atsonicpark]

Oh, the worst thing about Facebook is that, whenever I post anywhere on the net, I have the urge to go back to my homepage to "remove" my activity.

[ni'k]

i deleted my facebook account. there are sites were you can do a digital suicide thing.

what disgusts me about facebook - on top of what you said - is the fucking pathetic shit people post on it - OMG IM EATING AN ICE CREAM LOL! - it's all this sickening compulsory positivity in triviality - it's people fucking policing themselves - LOOK I'M BEING GOOD AND EATING SWEETS AND LISTENING TO RAMONES - many of the horrible aspects of social life are ampilified by facebook l - i mean you have to ask yourself - who am i listening to this music for? myself or some virtual avatar of me who needs to be seen listening to this music. in facebook world everything becomes for the purpose of maintaining this fucking profile of yourself - this fucking advertisment for yourself that you work at maintaining - what actual substance do you have when you spend your time doing that.

i saw some disgusting shit when i was on that site - people who do nothing but post - EATING ICE CREAM AND LISTENING TO RAMONES, LIFE DOESN'T GET ANY BETTA THAN THIS LOL - and then something like - IM SO DEPRESSED... WHY IS IT ALL SO HARD... - and then just when they are close to having to face the horrible truth of their vapidity and the misery it engenders they post that and all their fucking friends chime in like cops to tell them to cheer up so they can tow the party line of "we are all so happy" - and lo and behold, a few hours later they post something like - OMG WHAT AN IDIOT I WAS EARLIER DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THERE JUST ME BEING STUPID LOL THX TO ALL MY FRIENDS LOL I ATE SOME ICE CRAEM AND NOW IM CHEERED UP LIFE IS GREAT!. i don't like this behaviour at all. you should be pissing people off and weirding them out or trying to make them think but not appeasing the big other and apologising for any deviation from obligatory cheery ignorance.

see what i've learned the hard way - if you are gonna work on maintaining any kind of image or self in this world like you are supposed to, you are basically working on improving yourself as a commodity and inevitably the only freedom your left with is the freedom to destroy it. so people that work really hard on their facebook self are just self defeating.

facebook basically reduces socialising to pure advertising and narcissism - everyone doing everything for appearances and keeping away from each other. you are not going to find out about anything new on their, just more and more of what you already know. these are all the worst aspects of socialising with people. when i was on it i started caring about all this stupid shit - like worrying that i only had something like 20 friends. i actually started to care that people might look at my friend list and see how few people there were on there! stupid but that's the kind of shit you get concerned about if you play those games. so i started adding more and more people i didnt really like but knew, and started kidding myself about them. and i found myself less inclined to post weird shit cos i wanted to appeal to these normals! that's the antithesis of what makes me happy!

i don't think the answer is to withdraw completly - altho this is exactly what i have done - i have socialised all of 3 times this year and won't be going out with those people again. at the moment i literally have no friends - none that i see - my phone has just been off for weeks. and i really don't mind it. i had to get out of all the social traps i had already fallen in with in order to get off drugs anyway so it's probably a good thing. i know i will have to force myself to meet new people when i start going to school again in september but that's cool. i reckon i'll be pretty content by then and can start afresh. i'm sure there are loads of people out there literally being crushed by the pressure of their social commitments and other people leeching their energy - i'm sure a lot of people could really benefit from what i'm doing.

there are so many other possibilities for social activity with the internet but i just don't see them being harnessed. nina powers of the infinite thought blog was talking about internet universities at one point but i havent heard anything new happening with that. we have to get beyond the lone individual only interacting with others to stay alone and strengthen his individuality... i guess that's why i've been playing left for dead 2 literally all day for weeks. it's fun talking to and doing something with people, even if it is just shooting zombies.

you really worry about this shit? its time to go walk in the woods without an mp3 player.

[atsonicpark]

Yeah, I'm LOL "worried" LMAO about ROFL "shit" ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!KTHX<3 when said "Hot grrl" is my friend (of 10 years) and then she bitches to me a few times because one of my creepy ass facebook acquaintances adds her over and over after she rejects him and msg's her like a fucking creep... oh, and I do live in the woods, and I don't own an mp3 player (or a cell phone, or any of that other garbage that necessitates a "proper" existence), so what clever point are you trying to make? Oh, and note that "hot grrl" isn't just one grrl, it's about 4 girls that have messaged me in the past week because of the creepy creeper adding them and acting like we're best friends. Which I explained in the rest of my post which you probably didn't read, but thanks for picking out one little sentence to quote so you can reply in such a way that communicates nothing. I'll bold more relevant words next time so it's easier for your eyes to affix to; until then, keep thinking of clever retorts!

I just spent the past 10 minutes deleting all my facebook posts, except the 3 or 4 ones that make me happy. I also made it where everything I post is invisible to certain people that I don't really want to be friends with, but deleting them outright would cause all sorts of drama within the bullshit "scene". Also, anyone that leaves me comments, I am deleting them almost immediately. Why go through all the trouble? I am trying to advertise my shit, and people said that facebook is the way to go because it has so many users, whoo boy. I haven't accomplished shit through fb, most of my fans come from youtube. I'm going to delete my facebook, though, and it's mainly for people like this guy...

As I said elsewhere, the relationship between consciousness of these personality progressions on an intuitive and dimensional level is very exciting in a sense, but like "real life", people have to push you out of the way in order to get their point across, instead of being able to exist in a mutual peace. Ultimately, we're all exploring a technologically driven yet non-gender-centric psychologically complex transitional world which is inherently neutral and formulaic.

I love the shit out of Stevie Wonder, "Innervisions" is definitely in the top 10.

That Volkswagon commercial he did at the Super Bowl was funny.

i don't understand people saying facebook is "intrusive". facebook is what you make of it. people complain about facebook owning informations about them and stuff - but they fucking added it in the first place. stupid applications are there because people use them - if you don't want to see them you can just block them and they'll disappear. i see no major problem with it. sure, it reduces "real" "irl" human contact - then again I'm not sure facebook but rather msn or myspace started it. i use facebook much more than msn nowadays to stay in touch with my friends - and the people who i know, more generally. i never used myspace for that purpose - it's much more for bands here in france. and i think precisely myspace sucks now because it's trying too hard to be facebook; i mean come on, i've got an artist page, i don't give a fuck about 300+ apps invites?!? so yeah. sure some people on facebook infuriate me - those who are always posting pseudo-romantic dark shit about love or something, like love is something sacred and then would start three relationships in a month. then again, it's the people, not facebook. in fact it might be quite interesting that a certain side of the people you would not have guessed gets revealed via facebook.

[SONIC GAIL]

I think the whole twitter and face book is a waste of my time. I know people like it for social networking and what not, but why does everyone need to know what you are doing at everyminute? People need to live thier life instead of just recording it. I am proud to say I have never had a facebook account, Myspace or twitter. Been doin just fine without it. People these days are thier own god. They think their a celebrity cause they have thier own page. And the dumb bitches posting thier best bikini pictures so they can have the most friends to flirt with. ME ME ME

4 fucking girls have msg'd me lately because one of my creepy creeper asshole idiotic "fwendz" decided to add every girl on my facebook list.

Haha one of your friends actually added my girlfriend. Kind of strange. He added me as well but I didn't mind as I spoke to him on slsk a few times.

[pbradley]

I have ninety-three friends on facebook, this is relatively very low, and twenty-four of them are under the "hide" option. However, the latter seems to have a faster rate of admission.

[deflinus]

i rarely post status updates on my facebook because i'm 100% sure no one would like or understand what i'd post

He's an acquaintace, who I have not actually seen in person in probably a year. He can do what he wants online, but I don't support it at all.. More people need to tell him to fucking stop, need to tell him that he's strange and creepy... whatever.

To syrfox regarding how facebook apparently isn't "inclusive": You can't even hide your friends' list on Facebook. To me, that's the EPITOME of a privacy issue. In fact, I reported Facebook to a watchdog site, and there's a petition ON facebook trying to get as many people as possible to report them specifically for this issue... A lot of my friends don't want to be seen, or know to be on there. You can make yourself invisible on searches.. er, you USED to be able to.. probably not anymore... so, why not make yourself invisible on friends' lists? Oh, and you can't hide your activities, they're all displayed until you MANUALLY remove them. Now, I don't do 5404808486 things on FB a second like some people do, so I don't have a lot to remove, but it's still annoying as fuck. Privacy issues out the ass. Oh, what else... I don't like how google brings up facebook pages, either.
