tagging two of your friends in a picture of a van with a big "free candy" sign painted on, one in the front, one in the back
besides it's the way most people my age (i.e. 19) communicate online, i don't have any other chat devices except the one built into steam, and this is the only forum i regularly visit

a just threw up an event two days ago with an hours notice and managed to get half a dozen dudes to rent out a billiards table at a bar with free beer all night.
Rane does this mean you will never want to talk to me since you can't see me?
well I'd prefer to look into your eyes when i talk to you, but seeing as though i can't, I'll just have to make do with listening to your accent over the phone while i grope my own erection
A friend of mine posted this article just yesterday...on his Facebook, which I thought was humorous
I basically gave him the same argument of "what exactly is so sacred about your information that you're entering" and he wouldn't hear it. Then another friend joined in and agreed with him.
social networking has become an excepted norm of communication, like phone calls or email. If your Internet provider read your email or your phone company recorded your calls, mined the data, and sold it off you would be pissed. Social networking is a great thing. It allows people like us, who haven't seen each other in years and live a thousand miles away to communicate and stay in touch. The problem is we are ceeding this technology and network to a third-party, private corporation. Why not utilize the same technology and experience the same benefits without feeding some corporate beast who doesn't respect you, but wants to make $$ off of you?
I blocked my mother on facebook because I decided that as long as we speak daily it was silly for her to comment on every single thing I posted and ask me questions about stuff
I think having cell phones is actually a great thing - a tool that allows us all to stay connected whenever/wherever is a cool cool thing and has so many positive applications
Also if it wasn't for the internet I would probably be much more ignorant than I am right now - access to a virtually unlimited well of free information is the thing dreams are made of
But yeah dumb people will be dumb and do dumb things with good ideas - this really doesn't shock me
I think simply given the nature of the medium we just see much more of it then we ever would otherwise
But maybe I am not as jaded about things, yet

unless we're talking about people who aren't really friends and who are just there to numerically pad your friendcount
do you really care about what that one girl who used to be kind of hot from high school is doing
no, we all just get off on the process of discovering what she is doing
exclusively.
i don't
i don't actually care what most people are up to when I'm talking to them online, or even on the phone
small talk online is problematic
before i deleted it, my facebook remained unused for like 3 years
I do prefer to talk face to face, and my phone is exclusively for saying "hey meet me at ___ in ___ minutes so we can talk"
facebook makes organizing parties way too easy
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
Think of all the gas.

people are just communicating more often through a number of mediums that previously didn't exist
if you want to stick your head in the sand, that's fine too

Facebook, awwwwyuh.
i just meant like, that's cool too
people text each other from feet away, phonecalls into the next room, and using texting lingo in academic papers
It's not burying my head in the sand because i use all these forms of communication, I just PREFER to talk to people at their face holes
people get funny looks when they use correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.
people don't know the difference between their/they're/there. That is a MAJOR problem
well I'd prefer to look into your eyes when i talk to you, but seeing as though i can't, I'll just have to make do with listening to your accent over the phone while i grope my own erection
This is true.
Then again I tend to avoid those people but hey.
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
I have never seen this happen in my whole life The internet did not cause this
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
yeah but most of that is a symptom of, well, society sucking
stuff like their/they're/there should be drilled into people by the third grade, if not earlier
i mean, the romans had a ton of dick graffiti
people are dumb, society and culture show it, more at 11
Being a high school student currently, I'm telling you that I see this shit all the time and goddamn fucking kids these days I swear
I would say that the Internet exposes the problem though because before we would talk on the telephone we would not see this.
Satans..... hints.....
They're/their/there in comparison to other problems in society.
Not that big a deal.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
you haven't been near many kids, then
and no, the internet didn't cause it, but it doesn't help that it propagates a society and culture that actively and aggressively refuses to learn it
problems do not go away just because there are bigger problems
faith in humanity --
