I will be absolutely astonished if that thing actually goes live in its current incarnation. "Other people can opt you in and you can't opt out" is wildly illegal, I'm pretty sure.
The lack of insight into how the internet works is staggering. "Positive reviews post automatically, negative review can be disputed!" So... People can say you're a compulsive puppy molester, slap five stars on it, and it's autoposted? Lovely!
Yeah no this thing's gonna die long before launch, or be "tweaked" so thoroughly it'll be indistinguishable from LinkedIn. It's just never gonna happen, as is.
By it's very nature of rating "people", the site would include celebrities, political figures, game designers, etc.
Combined with all the cell phone hacking to obtain their phone numbers (ignoring the fact that people will probably just create a fake profile to review if the real number can't be obtained), this would be a meltdown.
At least until said celebrities and political figures had the thing shut the fuck down.
That's without even getting into the intense cyber bullying (this would basically be the worst app ever for kids in school). They say the reviewer has to be 21, and I'm going to be nice and assume the target must be as well, but you know kids will get around that. How many kids already have fake Facebooks to show their parents?
I cannot see this thing going live in it's current form.
Besides, I don't think I could facepalm hard enough the first time I heard the news comparing Hilary Clinton & Donald Trump's Peeple star ratings.
#ColumbusWasAHero is the the saddest, shittiest shit Jesus Christ
And then somebody told me Reddit had a front-page post about Alaska changing "Columbus Day" to "Indigenous Peoples Day" and the part of my brain that hates myself made me read the comments and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Wow, those are sure certainly a ton of Meninist posts you just filled the feed with guy from high school, that was one of the fastest trimmings of my friend list ever, think it left a scorch mark on the mouse cursor.
twitter is a good time. i love it. its enabled me to get work, keep my finger on pulse of whats going on in art. really helpful and also fun, aside from the obvious downside of perverts and american conservatives
that said. my facebook usage is sorta now like.... okay if you live in the states. you ever get one of those phonebooks sent to you? like? what the fuck is that
Remember when everything was littered with AOL Free Trial disks?
My stepbrothers and I used to steal those by the dozens and fashion them into Ninja Stars.
Which is a large part of why we got kicked out of the apartment we shared in college... explaining all the suspicious holes in the walls to the landlords...

I remember once that I forgot my friend's number in junior high and I found it in a phonebook.

How do they verify the cell phone number?

Part of me hopes this thing never comes to pass
But part of me just wants to see it happen out of dread curiosity

Shit I think they still do teach kids that he "Discovered" america
He's just some dirtbag who sailed some ships over here and took shit.
I don't remember what the lessons about Columbus were like when I was in elementary school, but in high school it was definitely fairly critical
I learned more about indigenous cultures in elementary school than I did in the rest of my education
What a wonder, what a mystery, that formal education and I never got along particularly well
They should just change the name of the capital to McKinley.
You live in Opportunistic Land-Stealing Shitheap Who Sucked at Geography, WI?
Do you know Steve?
They should change it to Armstrong.
That fucker went to the moon.
He'd only ever heard the zero spoken and didn't know how to write it down

In Stag Ram?
The enemy of Wolfram and Hart?

I think I've got a stack of them in a drawer somewhere.
You know what is weird is I sill remember the house phone number we had when I was a kid.
This is ios only btw

It's goofy and fun and I sometimes feel really connected to my friends
