    The longest I was off Facebook was almost a year I believe. 
    But I am addicted to it, always checking my newsfeed and commenting. I guess it serves a purpose for me (making me feel less lonely).
    It is a cesspit of assholes. I recently had people making fun of my appearance so I changed my profile pic to be something other than a photo of me. 
    That fuxking sucks, and people who would do that to anyone are complete pricks.
    Yeah. I had one guy have a look at my profile because he got offended about something I said about the Notre Dame cathedral and he said my paintings suck and that I have no taste in art. I am in a artists group and some guy randomly said "I don't know where my hairline is" whatever that is meant to mean. Another guy said I am ugly. Facebook is full of shit people.
    Many people are nothing but assholes. If they hide behind their cell phones/pc s dissing others, they certainly feel superior.
    Sometimes I think it's the same as people who play online. You can be the superhero, good-looking and successful, while in real life you're a boring, lonely, or just normal person. Some people seem to feel good about treating others like shit.

    No matter in which context, I think Stephen Hawking rightly said, "I'm afraid evolution has brought us greed and aggression into our DNA, there's no sign that conflict is diminishing ..."

    That's why you should not listen to others fucked up, bad comments, they're just some bad, sad undignified ones… but there are still heaps of good people out there. 
    Nobody could look as ugly as someone who calls someone else ugly. (hope that's correct English :blush: )
    Just give a fuuuuuk about what they say!

    i see comments like thoughts expressed all the time. if it's a public thread, and there's a disagreement on the topic, within the first 3 comments there's going to be some asshole that, instead of debating the topic, will check out the person's profile and make some disparaging comment about their appearance or something else personal. they obviously have problems themselves if that's their go-to. that's how i think about it, anyway.

    Whoops, thank you! There should be a don't in it! lol

    Well, now that I think about it...
    I can say: "I give a fuck!" but I can't say "You should give a f...k!" Is that right? It has to be: "You shouldn't give a f..k!"
    Never thought about it before. I might made that mistake all the time...

    in this context a person shouldnt give a fuck.
    there are certain fuck worthy things, but opinions by random assholes tearing people down isnt  something that should be taken personally....

    Yes, I remember seeing a lot of posts from facebook trying to encourage me to sign up when it became live, so it is there. If memory serves, if you just scroll left from your newfeed on your phone, you'll eventually land on this section.

    I had a look on Facebook on my mac and on my phone app and I cannot find this feature.
    It is meant to be under 'dating' but I cannot find that button.
    I want to crush someone.

    Can't see it. Looks like it's not available in Australia yet.

    Facebook isn't nearly as bad as the average cool guy in their late thirties to mid forties wants to make it out to be lol

    If I was young and single, or even divorced and on the prowl, I would definitely use the crush feature.
    I'm not too cool for anything that stands a chance of getting me laid.

    It isn't nearly as bad for anyone with hobbies or specific interests either.
    If I was at all interested in dating, I'd probably use that crush feature too. It would make it very easy to figure out who to ask out on a date, and there would be no fear of rejection.

    Particularly when you talk about broader social circles.  There are always friends of friends that you don't know well enough to make unsolicited advances toward, but a feature like this, used properly would allow someone to know that Karen's friend Linda thinks you are cute and likes enough of your social media presence to consider getting to know you better casually.
    The downsides of social media are also the upsides...while it might make it hard to be around crazy Uncle Rodney at the holidays when he shares MAGA memes all day, but it  lets you identify the "political dinks" as I believe you put it, that you can avoid. 
    If Karen's friend Linda sees that I care about the climate and like cats, we are already on solid footing for a more comfortable first date.  Social media is like a drug, sure, but that just means you treat it like any other drug...use it for good times and don't let it use you.
