facebook...? Options

[Maccabee]

One thing that bugs me a lot is that I am friends with so many different people on fb that I have to keep them in mind when changing my status... it gets really annoying. I am friends with pastors from all over the world, and five year olds, and christian home schoolers. So That kind cuts a good 2/3 of the things I can say...or links I can post...for example... I was just about to post a link to urban dictionary but I could immediately think of at least 20 people that would be extremely offended. and I cant change my status to, just watched watchmen because I now of 10 moms that would comment, "your aloud to watch that? O my!"

...

discuss.

You do realize that this is 100% your fault.

Next to that "Accept" button, there is a "Reject" button.

Custom privacy settings. And what kind of 5-year-old has Facebook?!

lol my perception of you gets worse and worse by the minute

[Maccabee]

I dont roll like that. I cant reject people. That would destroy the point of facebook.
Privacy settings?! Me go lookey!

[emberfly]

why would anyone willingly choose to be friends on facebook WITH A PASTOR?

[heyo-captain-jac...]

My facebook status is currently my facebook URL.

That's more obscene than anything I'm sure you would say.

[colddesert]

I know what you mean. When I had a facebook I had some of my friends from church and some of my friends not from church. I had to be careful about what pictures I posted.

[Maccabee]

why would anyone willingly choose to be friends on facebook WITH A PASTOR?

Because my dad is a pastor and I know MANY personally. There are like over 50 pastors at my church. We have like 15,000 thousand people coming in a week.

[emberfly]

gross

[Maccabee]

gross

Are you an athiest? Do you want me to strike lighting on you?

[Maccabee]

as soon as I saw you had posted I was looking forward to seeing a funny picture. But I loled.

[Joanne]

Yeah, I have some teachers and family members on FB that I don't want seeing some things too... that's why I use the custom privacy settings. Seriously Joseph. Use it.

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Are you an athiest? Do you want me to strike lighting on you?

Assume the entire internet hates everything you stand for. Because for most people, it's true.

[datass]

dude, someone i dont give a crap about, i just dont add them

[rnicron]

you have 15,000 thousand people at your church? dang! where do they all sit? next time just say 15 million. it's easier.

There are 8 services.

[superstitious]

I have several Facebook friends who are Mormon (my family is Mormon, for the most part) and I still have f*ck in my status all the time. It's my Facebook, they can ignore my status updates if it offends them.

[hypnotique]

I have my mother and brother with his shitty christian friends always stalking my shit.

They know i don't censor anything for anyone and if its offensive either delete of hide me in the news feed.

[mipadi]

Facebook is pretty annoying, and I'm about to ditch it for good. It's become about as useful as a chocolate teapot. 50% of my news feed are people posting stupid results from stupid quizzes. I keep clicking the "Hide notifications from this stupid quiz app" button, but since each and every different quiz is also a different application, it's about impossible to keep on top of that garbage.

Facebook was cool back in 2004/2005, but when they added the ability to upload photos, I knew it had taken a downward spiral.

truth.
anytime you allow images and actual friend adding on a site you know that site is doomed to destroy itself.

Well, you could always friend people on Facebook. That was the point -- it was basically a glorified Rolodex. The difference is, back when Facebook got started, friending people and sending them messages or leaving them "graffiti" (the ghetto pre-cursor -- no pun intended -- of the current Facebook wall post) was pretty much all you could do. Now it's unencumbered with a whole bunch of useless crap and privacy concerns. It's the Microsoft Windows of social networking.

Seriously, I'm just going back to email and cell phones. I think the Internet is overloading me with information, and I have the email address or cell phone number of anyone I want to keep in contact with, anyway.

[drinksmokefuck]

I disagree, photos weren't that bad, but since it was changed to a new layout and a more myspace feel, thats when the self destruction became imminent

[superstitious]

Eh, with the amount of family I have that lives out of state, I like the pictures.

[rnicron]

There are 8 services.

ok, i get that because britt's holds around 20,000-25,000 at any time, i was just pointing out that you said 15,000 thousand which = 15,000,000 and i highly doubt that's your congregation total.

[SuckDickNSaveLiv...]

I keep a low key on facebook. I see a lot of chicks I used to kick it with, but they know somebody that know somebody that know somebody, so I just don't send out a friend request. I hardly ever use facebook that much though.

[Maccabee]

15,000 people come in, in one week.

[emberfly]

This is why xanga is so full of win. There is no stupid newsfeed.

[superstitious]

Xanga is cool (though I haven't touched mine in so long, I don't even know what the name). I don't get the comparison between Xanga and Facebook though. To me, they have hardly any similarities.

Side note, I do prefer Blogger over Xanga. That's more than likely an aesthetic thing. When I sit down to blog, Blogger feels more like writing while Xanga feels more like LiveJournal emo posting. I have no idea why I feel that way though. haha

[heyo-captain-jac...]

Furspace fo lyfe

[Sandraaa]

Ah, lucky me, my family speaks only English (except my sister) so sometimes I post shit in French. Muahahaha. Besides, I really don't care.

[tokyo-rose]

Oh, how come they only know English? Votre famille n'ai pas etudier l'anglais en ecole? (Pardon my French, literally; haven't taken a French class in two years and I've forgotten the conditional tense conjugations. I will resume this fall, though!)

[emberfly]

I put the security settings on full throttle :-)...

basically you have to be ME just to see all the things on my Facebook.

[emberfly]

Idk. That would be stupid.

Anyone can see mine. You just can't see all the things on it.

duh.

[cadiebug27]

haha i totally know what you mean. i post things in french too. :) no one quite understands it, and it's funny when people try to translate it. a lot of my family is on there, so i totally get what you mean by having to censor yourself. it gets annoying.

[Sandraaa]

Well, most members of my family are anglo saxons living in the UK so muahaha. And I don't get the point of your question. Although I understood what you said, not bad for someone who hasn't taken French classes in two years !! 'n'a, étudié (past tense) and à l'école. XD

Haha, thanks for the correction. I never do accents since I'm too lazy to learn all the alt codes on American keyboards. :( I need a French one! You have the keys with the accents, right? So cool.

[Sandraaa]

Yep. I have the keyboard with accents. LOL. I'm a grammar freak in French really. >< Since I'm better in it than English. XD Anyhoo, the other day, I insulted someone I had a fight with in French and the person didn't notice. Muahahaha. LOL. ><

[Teesa]

i love when i see your french statuses on facebook sandra lol.

i only know a few french curse words...one being salope ahhaa

[Maccabee]

I put the security settings on full throttle :-)...

Im the opposite. Everything is totally open. If i could I would set it to let everyone view all my pictures.

[Sandraaa]

LOOL Teesa. HAHAHAHA. You didn't see that on my status. XD

[emberfly]

Im the opposite. Everything is totally open. If i could I would set it to let everyone view all my pictures.

I think you can o.O

edit:

yep just checked. you can.

[FreshPrincess]

Haha, I feel you. My mother and aunts are on my facebook - no swearing, mentioning any late night sneaking-out [Not that I do that anyways... =P] etc. I did delete them but they found out and asked why. I couldn't play it off too much longer so I added them back.

LOL. Not really related, but my French teacher in seventh grade wouldn't teach my class how to say "the seal" because "le phuc" sounds like "f*ck." XD

[batman]

just put them on a limited list and adjust privacy settings so they can't see your status or your wall. problem solved.

[FreshPrincess]

Thank you. :)

[Maccabee]

Talk about awkward facebook convos...

First time I have ever had that one pulled on me.
*waits for thomas to come and tell was what the blurred stuff says*

[rnicron]

that doesn't even make sense, nor is it awkward.

fail

[none345678]

I don't get how that was awkward

[Maccabee]

I said, its your grandads dress, and then she said no it was the dress my grandad said he liked right before he died.

[rnicron]

yeah, so? you tried to be funny and it failed. what else is new?

[emberfly]

I said, its your grandads dress, and then she said no it was the dress my grandad said he liked right before he died.

Is that supposed to be funny?

[Maccabee]

I wasnt trying to be funny. It was a conversation with someone else.

[rnicron]

and it's the same sense of humor you try to use here that never works.

[Maccabee]

Actually it does work everywhere else, because everyone else in real life knows me. Normally ppl would have thought it was funny but her grandad is dead and a dorknob. He was once alive but he is dead. Dead. Dead. dead.

[rnicron]

yeah, awesome joke about a dead guy.

[Maccabee]

I didnt know he was dead until she told me. Thats why it was awckward.

[rnicron]

and you still try to crack jokes about it. you have a shameful sense of humor.

[Maccabee]

ha?

[batman]

you should try stopping while you're ahead so far behind.

[hypnotique]

yeah, so? you tried to be funny and it failed. what else is new?

Remember he has dry humor.

[emberfly]

but her grandad is dead and a dorknob.
