Title: Social Media needs to go away
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on May 17, 2017, 10:14:16 AM
Social media has essentially started the demise of mankind.  Companies can't even come out with a promotional campaign anymore because if someone is too tanned or too white, or they use fun language they get a bunch of pussies behind a computer that make a fuss and force them to shut down the promo.  the whole world is going to shit because lazy assholes now have a voice and can spread it to millions in a second.  For every good thing that might come out of social media 100 shitty things follow.  This world would be so much better without it.  People might actually start leaving the house and look up once in a while.

Going to be a lot of Millennials on antidepressants later in their lives due to the social media facade.

They say it's a double edged sword, which I never understood since a double edged sword performs the same function in either direction.  It's not like the left edge of the sword puts things previously cut back together again.

I see a steaming pile of shit on the ground

Now- I see a bunch of dumb people playing with that steaming pile of shit

I want nothing to do with said steaming pile of shit or those people so I'll avoid steaming piles of shit and people who enjoy steaming piles of shit


I don't like steaming piles of shit HOWEVER that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist

so, social media doesn't need to go away

if you don't like it- just avoid it

and if you're afraid of what society will become in 20 years then just be happy that you'll be like the Wilson brother's character in "idiotocracy" (sp)...ironically I think I spelled that wrong

Bad analogy.  Social media is everywhere.  If the streets were littered with Steaming piles of shit every 2 feet then your comparison might work.

Got that right,  im tired of my wife trawling fb all evening while she has her soaps on or my daughter snapping a picture of her pouting everytime she sends a message on Snapchat.  On rare occasions the 6 of us in my family are sat together I look round the room and everyone is eyes down on a device.  I make a conscious effort to leave mine alone, it looks pathetic and I often leave the room to escape it and find something better to do.It's a sad state we live in where kids and teenagers think their life is over without social media or a video game to play.

It's not that. It's about someone wants to be offended so they can get attention. Mainly fat and/or ugly women.

Some companies use it with their campaign to gain attention anyway. Like they have a radio presenter say 'Many people have complained this ad is racist because there's a black man with a white woman' then the company can issue a pre prepared statement to say they love everyone. But otherwise no-one knows about the fucking ad anyway until this comes out.

Social media and todays pussies  ::)

It amazes me that so many , take "social media" , so serious.
C'mon , most of us will never meet 99.9% of those on forums and social media
I can't take it that serious when they use anonymous  names, like assfuk69 LOL ;D

I use technology to communicate ( email, cell phone, etc) and for a little entertainment .

I don't have a facebook page and never tweet or instagram.
I post on a couple forums for my own shits and giggles.
If it starts to be tedious or annoying, I laugh at myself and move on.

When you're life depends on social media, you need to get a life. ;)

No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
'Formerly, all the world was mad,' say the most refined, and they blink...One has one's little pleasure for the day and one's little pleasure for the night: but one has a regard for health. 'We have invented happiness,' say the last men, and they blink."

I was waiting in line at a popular Tex Mex joint recently during lunch hour, and looked at the long line of people ahead of me. I swear, every single person was standing in line with their head down, fixated on their phones. Every one of them. It's almost like it's become unbearably uncomfortable to be idle with one's own thoughts. The brain is seeking little pleasure rewards from devices, and people are fully absorbed in them every waking hour.

I fondly remember using the University VAX/VMS system in the computer labs in the early 90's to download naked images of the Barbi Twins (Shane and Sia Barbi) on 3-5" floppy disk.  Webcrawler was the search engine, and the face of the internet.  Only a small percentage of our class actually owned a home PC at that time, so would have to come into the school labs to do their homework assignments.   Good times

Ha, you catch my drift sir!

I can't remember the number of crashes (and "God dammit" phrases) when I was running Netscape on OS/2 at the local library, while searching all kinds of stuff with engines like Altavista, Lycos, Yahoo, Metacrawler or whatever. Back then Hotmail was still a great email system before Microsoft took them over.

Yup, I remember it all.  I got my first PC in 1990.  Intel 486 DX2 66, with a whopping 340MB Harddrive.  Prior to that I had an Amiga 500, which I played Leisure Suit Larry until wee hours of the morning.  Had a nice little racket going in University back in the days making bootleg copies of Microsoft Word and Corel Wordperfect and selling the software disks to fellow University students.  Yup, Hotmail became the norm later on.  Same with Geocities hosted websites.

As a social experiment try talking to one of them. Probable outcome is either they respond favorably or feel like you are wasting their time---the same time that they spent looking at their phones.
