I do have a Twitter, but as far as Facebook is concerned, I'm glad my mom forgot my password. Now I don't have to worry about getting addicted. And Twitter is so much less time consuming that I feel fine using it.

In related news, this game's atmosphere is giving me the heebie-jeebies.

 

 

y u always gotta be changin the subject, Chuck?

[Lord Sinister]

Metro 2033 is a game well worth changing the subject for!

I avoid facebook like the plague. Not because I'm hipster or anything, but because Cracked has made me sure in my decision. They sell your info to companies so they can spam you with advertisements, and once you make an account it's there forever. Even if you delete it they keep your info. There's just no concept of privacy if you have facebook, it's ridiculous.

[Pinkie Pie]

Though it's a valuable asset for police investigations. Lots of people have been rightfully arrested because of their Facebook profiles. So, in contrast, I suppose no privacy is a good thing.

[Jek Jek Roo]

No privacy is good? Wait a second, mate. Where do you live? I'm gonna go to your house, take a picture of every place there, stalk your every move and post it here. Do you think I care where you piss? No, I don't. I just want to show the world everything about your personal life.

 

How would you feel? Seriously dude.

 

Oh forget it, I didn't noticed you're from Austria.

There is a differents between stalking and alowing the cops to gain incriminating evidence some fucktard put on there Facebook

[Twilight Sparkle]

Stalking is obviously not legal - but the police don't need a warrant to check someone's Facebook, however that doesn't necessarily stop them from acting on it. There is such a thing as due process for a reason, and I doubt you'd see some jewel thief plotting his next heist on Facebook where anyone can see it.

 

But for me, the problem with Facebook isn't that the police can use it, since once you post something you have no one to blame for it but yourself, but how Facebook itself has no concept of privacy. Whether you want your info known or not, Facebook sells it to advertisers without even bothering to tell you about it. There is no kind of legal protection whatsoever, and frankly I'm just not going to deal with that.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, I think it's very important to be careful about Facebook. It's a powerful promotion tool for artists and companies as they can easily create events and get a lot of buzz going for products and releases. But it's also possible to get screwed hard so I think people should be careful.

[Jek Jek Roo]

And that's why I don't need it.

Uh...did I hit a sore spot or something? I was only saying that in that light, no privacy is an asset to police investigations. If social networking sites like Facebook are gonna log everyone's personal lives, we may as well get something back for it.

[Blightmare]

Been on facebook for three years and haven't gotten a single spam add in my email that could be linked to them. And the few that do show up? Those were for reason's like signing up to another website or forum and besides, there's a spam folder for that. And it's been working greatly for me.

[Collective Foal]

This subject seems kinda touchy, so I'm going to try to change it and center everything around me again

 

So yesterday, we went to Friendly's for Ice cream. The lady who was getting my ice cream has a nut allergy, so the other two guys in the back were joking with her about it. Then one guy says "Hey, do you realize how much more fun our shift just got with you getting those wet nuts? Good on you." So we were laughing and all that jazz and I was like "I wouldn't mind working here," and the girl said "Here take an application," and I was all like "Fuck yea!" So I might get a job at Friendly's.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Hope you get a job there. Seems like you got along well with them.

[Mr. ShinyObject]

That reminds me, I was supposed to get a yes or no yesterday for whether I got a job, and I have yet to receive one.

[Jek Jek Roo]

GUYS! GIRLS! Just wanne say if we have only week left (if the whole bloody end of the world is real of course. I actually don't belive it but better save than sorry) i want to say THANK YOU for all the time here. I lerned much from you and I was enjoyed by reading every single post here. Well, I know some of them pissed me off. I know I wasn't so nice to others as well but generally it was a great thing to be here and talk to such great people. Thank you all, my friends!

December 22nd will be a Saturday. I'll probably be working that day if the schedule remains the same.

[Doctor Felix Whooves]

That saterday will be full of peopel regretting what they see when they roll over in bed

[Collective Foal]

This Connecticut thing. I feel like this is a prelude to what people are going to do on Friday. All those poor kids. I often wish I could have been somewhere when something like that happened, just so I could make the bastard suffer. But I feel like there will be massive riots from the retards that believe this shit. Oh well.

[Chuckthe2nd]

I'm going to just stay at home on the 21st and hopefully avoid all the nut jobs who will be like "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD LOL YOLO" and start getting high and wrecking their cars and shooting guns off. Not that I'm necessarily EXPECTING people to do that, but I prefer to be on the safe side.

 

My opinion, of course, is that I will wake up on the 22nd and go about my day. Anyone that expects anything else to happen is a dumbass, sorry.
