Return of the Mighty Observations Thread

[Dr. Medulla]

However the world really is full of assholes.

And social media makes that a virtue rather than something to be ashamed about. "I'm just telling it like it is," said the uninformed fuckface …

[Spiff]

Is it just a matter of constantly moving on to a newer platform as current ones become too contaminated by trolls and the narrow marketing demands of those in charge? It seems like there's something parallel to the life and death of music scenes/subcultures. People come together because of an absence in their social lives, build a cool community, it gains momentum and attracts a second wave of joiners with a slightly different interest, as well as record company interest, which poaches bands from the scene, and finally what made things cool and fun get compromised and the originals mourn how it ain't like it used to be and start dropping out.

Yeah, Facebook has sucked since they started letting Boomers use it.

Addendum: And on Twitter, part of it is that I've pretty much lost interest in internecine Left micro-dustups. Life's too short for that shit.

Facebook really should be overwhelmingly dominate. Particularly because it does everything instagram and twitter do, but all at in one place. I still use it, though I have been tapering gradually for some time. Just posting pics of the daughter for the relatives and stuff to see. The layout has become awful. Ads litter the page. I'll post most of the blame on going public and the need to appease shareholders. But yeah, having my mom on, I don't post as freely as I used to.

I learned from Facebook that Hoy's mom is still having sex and that totally embarrassed Hoy, so it has that going for it.

[Spiff]

Also, I have a new job.

I am one of a half dozen or so staff writers with the MN House of Representatives Public Information Office. I will cover committee hearings and floor debates and write summaries for a daily email newsletter sent out by the office.

[Silent Majority]

Spiff, I'm delighted for you. Best of luck in your new job.

Hoy's mom is having sex on Facebook? This is the biggest seismic shift to hit Flex's internet bill since that time he saw a pic of Hoy's sister and determined she was kinda hot.

Comgrats, Spiff! If anyone deserves to be part of the problem, it's you!

[Flex]

Hoy has hot and ready to trot female immediate family, that's the magic of FB.

And congrats Spiff!

[Wolter]

I can never quit social media now that I know Hoy’s mom is a swinger.

[JoseUnidos]

So, what's Hoy's mom's FB username? Asking for a friend.

[Dr. Medulla]

Does she have a taste for numbered Asian men? Curious about the hereditary nature of such things.
