I have become curious lately if I can get rid of all the uselss shit on my wall. So I started "hiding" advertisements and saying don't show me shit from so-and-so. I figured it was a futile exercise but it has actually worked and I am not seeing any advertisments.

Problem is, then you start getting a shitload of "recommendations." It starts showing you shit that your contacts have "liked".

Holy shit some people like a lot of stuff. Some people must spend vast amounts of time just going from page to page liking everything. It's unbelievable. It's like they have quotas. I have contacts whose recommendations have less weight than helium.

But I start closing off all those recommendations - again, figuring it is a futile exercise - because even after you get through the shitload of useless recommendations of my undiscriminating contacts, it will just start showing you any-fucking-random-thing with the overall number of likes.

But actually it is not futile. It gets to a point where it stops giving you recommended pages.

But then there are recommended group. But you can close those off too.

But then it starts asking if you have seen/read various movies/TV shows/books. Nothing you can do with those. You can't click them off that I can see. You can only answer yes or no - which I don't want to do because it would only be encouraging it to my way of thinking.

What do you care if I have seen Mork and Mindy? No I haven't but fuck off.




facebook = the ultimate clingy, needy, whorish pest that you just want to shoot in the head.

Unless I am misunderstanding Twitter, that seems like an apples and oranges comparison.

Me personally, while I have a couple of uses for Facebook, I can't imagine one I would have for Twitter.

I suppose it could be an apples and oranges conversation, although I find that people usually prefer one over the other for numerous reasons. My reason for preferring Twitter is, I don't mind oversharing, however I like to control who I am oversharing with. Now I realize someone could post one of my Cooking With Cougar videos on some random forum, however that really wouldn't bother me. I expect I'd get in a lot of trouble with a real deal Facebook account. I also like the 140 character limit, obviously created by a man.
 
To me, Facebook is primarily for games.

The keeping-in-touch part is fine although anyone important, it is a redundant system as I have other lines of communications anyway. If Facebook closed tomorrow and I lost track of the other miscellaneous peeps, it would all be one big shrug.

But it's okay.
 
Suddenly I'm getting very different Page suggestions from the Facebook Gods. Used to be heavy metal acts and junk food, now look at me.

Daffy when I was a wee lad I would start fantasizing that my twin and I were a science experiment and that we didn't really come out of our Mom's womb.

I remember dreaming that our parents broke the news to us in the car - my bro started crying and I was freaking out too but deep inside I thought that was kinda neat. I'd get to go back to the lab where I was born and meet a bunch of mad scientist geniuses.

Then one day I met another pair of twins and that took care of that particular mental disorder.
