I really hate FB. It's the only link I have with the handful of people that I care about, but I also have 50+ people that I honestly couldn't care less 
awesome about. I either need to clean house and dump people that post stupid things or send me game invites.
I don't know what a good alternative would be. A password protected blog? Instagram? I would much rather email folks to keep up with them, but no one emails any more. I hate texting too.
I should start posting really inflammatory pics and posts to see how many people I can cull from my list.

I act as the resident debunker amongst my friends. I was tempted to post a "let me google that for you" link

As long as they have google accounts, you can start a blog on blogspot and restrict it to only certain accounts. Nobody outside those on your list can read it.I really hate FB.

MSG? That's just, like, mushrooms and salt. I thought everyone knew that whole MSG thing was a crock years ago.
I find that there are two kinds of people on Facebook: those who use it to keep in touch with people that they care about, and who care about them; and those who use it as a platform to seek confirmation of what they already believe. I use Facebook all the time but barely ever check my news feed, because it's so full of noise from people shouting into the void, hoping that someone will hear and approve of them.

I don't have a facebook account, specifically to avoid the "family reunion that never ends" syndrome. I used to think it's a policy that served me well, but it turns out if I HAD paid more attention to facebook, I might have caught on to some things that turned out to be very unpleasant surprises...
If I could quite Facebook, I would. But I really don't want to deal with the fallout of doing that.
Hee hee...Kati (the lady in red below) did the same thing.
Hmm. Perhaps I should not have made the anonymizer blobs look so much like the water pump gasket from a 1997 Toyota Tacoma.

Sometimes I want to post something like this to Facebook:
"I want to live in an apartment that someone's been murdered in, with a cell tower on the roof and a nuclear power plant next door, eating genetically modified food that's flavored with MSG and aspartame."
Anything else I can add to it?

Hey, you know what I love about surfing online on an iPad? The random times Safari opens up the App Store and throws up an app. Love those pop-ups! It's been great lately, because Draft Kings pop-ups have been increasingly infecting more and more sites! I've tried all the usual routes to block those pop-ups, but none of them work for long!
I truly, deeply hope the government outlaws those fantasy draft gambling sites, simply because it would shit down Draft Kings. Maybe the little shithole advertising programmer who designed those ads will get a job on some assembly line, and get his hands crushed in a machine as a form of karmic justice for bombarding people with invasive, obnoxious, relentless ads for a shithole website.

I don't hate ramen at all. I hate fake bullshit science posts on Facebook. I was defending it.
I love diet coke and hate when either my sister or I post a picture of one and we get crap from people...omg it's poison...omg ever heard of MS? etc etc
Yet, imagine the shit fits they would throw if I remarked on the alcohol consumption in their pictures?
I happen to have no issue with drinking other than being jealous that I can't now, but it amazes me what people will say online.

Girl 2 keeps sending mixed messages. Spent the weekend around her at a con with very little attention from her, but the next day she messages me with a comic of a character I cosplayed and a character she wants to cosplay going on a cute date. She then says we could take adorable cosplay photos together.
Ultimately I've decided I'm just being strung along (along with a bunch of other dudes) so I'm trying to just ignore her and move on. I kept considering asking her on a date, and it's still tempting, but I know it's not a particularly great decision.
I don't have any advice on your minor rants, this is just mine.

I eat pretty clean, but I get judgy looks sometime for my diet drink habit. Everyone names their poison in this life. I've made peace with my occasional Dr. Pepper 10.

But... but doesn't Dr Pepper 10 cause women to spontaneously combust?!!
You ever seen pics of CG? She's on fire.

I forget which rant/whine thread @GasBandit was complaining about the station owner and Cowherd in. But I found this. The TV simulcast only draws about 46K viewers per day. Nationwide.
Life is too short to avoid delicious foods. Eat, drink, and be merry, I say!
I swear to Bob cats have some form of Hobo signs that they've used to mark our house. Over the past two years of living here we've had six stray cats show up at our house. All of them have not been fixed, so--following a scan for a microchip/matching lost pet ads--we've had to go get them spayed/neutered at the local shelter to prevent them from popping out more kittens, keep them in the house for a few days to let them heal/recover, and try to find them homes. (I'm aware we don't HAVE to do this, but it makes us feel like shitty people if we ignore the friendly kitty getting into fights because his balls are still active.)
And, as of last weekend, another cat showed up. She is tiny, even for only being eight months old. She is adorable, and will snuggle in our laps for however long we sit on the porch (sometimes over half an hour).
And we are coming dangerously close to adopting her even though we already have three other cats.
Motherfucker.

Back up's just for doggy style, no?
@Enresshou - Check the exterior of your house for wild catnip plants.
@Enresshou how's grad school? I might be in your neck of the woods for a couple of days in November.

Wookiee is such a fucking bullshitter. No matter what anybody is talking about, he "knows someone" involved in it, as a writer or something or whatever. Last week it was Blue Mountain State, this week it was Kris Kross. And he didn't even know the lyrics correctly when he tried to do "Warm it Up Kris."
