Dumb things that annoy you.

They've made it so we're all stalking each other. I don't want people to see who or what I'm commenting on. It's another nail in the coffin of privacy. So I'm migrating to Google + or dropping social networking all together, but I'll be damned if I play Mark Zuckerberg's voyeur games any more. Fuck him. Fuck Facebook.

They guy who created Facebook. He's an asshole who can't make friends in real life so he created Facebook.

lol Google + has absolutely no privacy whatsoever. I dunno why everyone is flipping out over it. A year or so ago, Facebook took the status thread and broke it into two: top news and most recent. Everyone flipped the fuck out and said this was it, they hate facebook, blah blah. Now it's just merged those two again, which I find better because people disappeared from my news thread and now they're back. And btw they're mimicking the google + style in order to compete with them, meaning you have some option to make your status 'public'.

I have more control over Google + as it currently stands. And I'm not adding every person who wants to add me and most importantly, Google + doesn't tell the entire fucking world when I comment on someone else's status. They're breaking down their list feature. What's the point of having a list of people on limited access when that person can see you in the stupid voyeur box up top? The newsfeed break didn't bother me. Facebook first pissed me off when they would automatically opt you into being seen in searches, being part of third party platforms, and allowing your friends to check you into places. All FB has to do is take away that stream in the upper right hand chunk and I'd be fine. I suspect they either will in a few weeks or give you the opportunity to opt out of it. Until then, I'm not using Facebook. I'm not bitching about it on Facebook, I'm just not going there. People I want to talk to can find me on Google + or Twitter.

ETA: Or here, for that matter.

You can turn off the feature that says what your activity is on Facebook. Also, privacy control fix all of the other issues, you just have to choose to set them. It seems silly to assume a site that's created for the purpose of 'social networking' would have a default setting of ultra privacy.

Right? Aside from having one list instead of two, it's exactly the same.

Haha, remember when people flipped when status updates were new? ZOMG MAH PRIVACY! hahahahaha.

I love getting people Christmas gifts. I enjoy the process of going out and planning what I'm going to get, and putting a lot of thought into what the person would enjoy.

same here. i pick up on things they talk about throughout the year and they probably don't even remember mentioning something they liked to me and thats what i end up getting them.

i actually am super weird about the wrapping paper and bows, ribbons and stuff. it has to be wrapped perfectly. i literally go to stores and search for the best wrapping paper and look at the techniques of how they wrap it...if they use flowers, etc.

yeah, i know, i'm weird.

I have an infected stye on my eyelid and I haven't been able to wear makeup in two weeks. I am going to have to go to the opthamologist and have it lanced I think.

my baby dylan gets sties (spelling?) a lot. marty used to get them a lot when he was younger. have you put a warm compress on it? it usually soothes it a bit. i hope you don't have to get it lanced.


edited to not gross you out

[g r ee n ey e s]

I am, when I am at home. It's hard to do the compresses at work. They gave me this ointment to put on 4 times a day so I have one greasy eye all day long now. It looks gross and I look like a 12 year old without makeup.

Why would it gross me out? Should I stop myself from checking for a youtube on the procedure?

[g r ee n ey e s]

OH MY GOD I had to go ahead and do that anyways. I swear to god I better not have to have it lanced!!

its not really gross. you are knocked out. they just put this clamp on your lid and flip it inside out. then they get rid of the puss. i guess it bothered me bc i didn't want them to do that to my kid. to me, i would not care.

My husband had one once and he tried to lance it himself (with a heat sterilized safety pin) and let's just say that was a really bad idea.

[g r ee n ey e s]

It looks grosssss. Mine is on the outside though, instead of inside.. so maybe they won't have to flip it? The nurse said I was supposedly lucky. Yeah right, I look like Igor and my eye hurts when I blink.

Yeah the doctor gave me a shitload of printed info and they stressed how lancing it yourself can backfire in fucked up ways. I am playing by the rules but I am missing my eyeliner hard right now.

I had one in the corner of my eye. Teabags make the swelling go down and I would poke it once a day with a sterilized safety pin, I know you're not supposed to but every time I did stuff would come out and it would get smaller.

[g r ee n ey e s]

I said fuck it and just did a compress and it popped on it's own, it does every time I put a compress on it. So ugly and annoying. I just want this thing gone, I feel like it's been forevvvvver.

[once_again]

Ok, but is my Facebook still private? I don't know what changes happened.


Also, I'm with Bowie on the whole Christmas thing. Although I know Christmas is intended to celebrate the birth of God, I associate it with other things, such as winter, snuggling, hot chocolate with marshmallows - all with my girls. I don't care if I do or don't get a present, I like giving presents to other people just to see their reaction and it doesn't have to be expensive. I understand it can be stressful and depressing to some people though.

[emmieslost]

i love to buy people gifts, and i do buy xmas gifts, but i would rather buy something thoughtful for someone for no reason that do it because its fucking xmas. xmas is depressing.

Facebook is now trying to be Google +, Twitter, and advertising in one spot. The new annoying feature is a running feed of what and where your friends are commenting, even if the person they're commenting on isn't one of your friends. And your posts show up in the same vein unless you make all of your posts only visible by you, which defeats the purpose. So it's all or nothing. In other words, you can now spy on your friends' FB activity (and through them, the activity of perfect strangers). It's the equivalent of catching your neighbor going through your garbage. There's nothing illegal about it, but it's pretty fucking weird.

[once_again]

Ok, but what happened to Facebook??


ETA:

Sorry, I stepped away before I hit post and came back and hit post. They combined Top News with Recent News? Is my shit still private though?

[once_again]

Not that I have exciting shit on Facebook or anything.

[jeneria]

It changed its interface again. Your newsfeed is separated into two: one that FB thinks you'll like that have blue tabs and recent updates. They added the feed in the right corner. They've added lists so you can organize your friends (in theory) and now they're upfront about warning you that your privacy can be compromised by your friends.

I can't keep up with all of their updates or with anything really. Thanks.

That is a true statement in theory! I now have a cousin's MIL posts of every Humane Society's and Shelter's pictures of all animals that are up for adoption. I created a group and list with her name this morning. Since then she has added another 50 pictures and they all show up in the news feed. Next step - delete her.

My phone is eating text messages. Not sure where they are going, but I ain't getting them.
