I fucking hate social media

DeebieSkeebiesi think people just naturally love to hate things. without that dreaded social media account they willingly signed up for, where else are they going to find things to bitch about?

Well people would bitch about kids, old people, and mexicans takin er jerbs.

Fun fact: The catholic church used to do this in the 1600's

BunkydooDeleted all my social networks a couple months ago. You go from thinking you need it for "Friends" and "Business" to realizing that anyone in your life who is a real friend or business partner is someone who has the decency to sack up and give you a fucking phone call. just my 2 cents.

Not really. If youre using it for marketing its still an extremelh valuable tool. I mean i guess it depends on the person but thats the biggest reason to use it.
On the other side i do kind of need kt for friends as well. Cell numbers change. Too many people to keep up with current info. Id rather text someone then send them a facebook message but its a nice option to have.

Its fine to not use social media but it definitely has its perks these days.

That said some of the shit people share makes me question that.

Thats common knowledge

BogezDid you read what you wrote before you posted?

wouldn't that imply fucks being given?
not being personally involved in owning a business and needing to use social media was one of the best decisions i ever made
facebook blows but my mom doesn't believe it
obviously she isn't alone
dude nailed it
you only think you need to be a zuckerbitch

I feel like most people abuse? Social media, just mindlessly staring at screens of worthless shit. I honestly hate our generation probably the most useless. I think of one of joe rogans crazy stand ups, where he's yelling in a fit of hysteria about how the dumb people are out breeding the smart people. And he's absolutely right.

Social media creates the illusion of an unnaturally high standard of life and thus leads to dissatisfaction with real life. This in turn leads to more consumption of consumer goods.

Short posts lack genuine thought or meaning.

Waste of time.

Loaded with dimwits.

Yeah, I avoid it as much as possible.


I've found it much more pleasing and useful to keep a journal; It is a good depository for thoughts and it doesn't give a fuck about you so you can come across as fully you.

If i can remember what it is i will. It was hilarious. They emailed me everyday to let me know that they cared and wanted to pray for me as long as i gave them $7. Eventually just unsubscribed but i can prolly find the emails. Give me a few weeks till im back on a comp. I hate phones.

caucasian_chadI think all this social media spread yellow journalism crap that Bishop is talking about is also the main thing behind the hysteria over Ebola as well. Anyone who is informed knows that we as citizens of the United States no reason to be worried about contracting Ebola at this time, yet people continue freaking out. A lot of the misinformation seems to be coming from social media.

Yeah this is the main concern that I'm beginning to really have. Like sure, I can ignore social media, delete my accounts, pretend like it doesn't exist... sure. Absolutely.

However, popular culture is swinging so much into the Yellow Journalism that its killing a lot of real Journalism's chances of survival. Ad views are simply a commodity, and its a matter of time before this really starts to harm the quality of content that is out there. You could very easily argue it already has done so.

There was a perfect time when the internet brought this beautiful counterpoint to popular culture, but as its succeeded more and more, its going through a real re-invention phase.

The ebola spread is a perfect example. Hell on leftist Reddit I'm seeing actual advice mallard telling people to 'stop fucking going to Africa'. Sure the media blows things out of proportion, but there is at least standards that the large media companies uphold themselves to.

I'm not resistant to change, but I also don't think we should pray to the alter of technology and treat it like we're all waiting of the singularity where machines will deliver us into computational heaven and free us from our worldly souls.

There's a middle ground out there, and I think we need to start working on finding it.

kinda ironic you keep sendin me pm's when i told you i wasn't gonna play that game

Its all good. I try to take things with a grain of salt and love meeting people obsessed with Newschoolers in real life. Trying to bring the stoke IRL and all that.

I am confused as to why you don't exodus Newschoolers.

Do also note there was a lot more than just censorship and moderation to the migration. Deleting the entire forum twice by accident didn't help much. I certainly know it can happen which is why I try to engage in open-minded debate about everything.

One day somehow.... maybe in Utah we'll shotgun a beer. I do my best to believe the idea that those who posess a shit-ton of 'keyboard courage' when in their dark man-caves are actually good dudes in person just willing to share the stoke.

I imagine you looking something like this:

I'm all about skiing. I'm all about skiers getting together and skiing. Hell man, this is the whole point - we need to connect and share the stoke, not hide behind keyboards and spit cyber-hate. Sure some people love to get online and talk about their experiences... I mean you can't ski all day every single day. You're everywhere on the internet, leaving huge footprints on TGR, NS, Facebook.... you're out there ripping and you're on here spitting cyber hate.

I don't doubt for a second that you're a better skier than me, and that you ski more than me. You live in a perfect area for it and I live in the city.

However, we need to work on breaking down barriers, stopping the keyboard warriors from spitting hate and just get together and fucking ski. It should be a lesson and example for all of this.

This is an awesome sport, and its made up of awesome people.

Preach.

I don't hate it, but I hate the way people use it. I think it's really unfortunate that people go to bars, concerts, skiing etc. and stare at their phones. Like, come on, do what you're doing and facebook will be there when you're done.
I think that's why it was better before everyone had smartphones and had constant access to social media. I know that I got into the habit of checking facebook and instagram many many times a day just out of boredom. Like, sitting at work, guess I'll check facebook againnnnn. It's like a "go-to".
Now, I actually log off of facebook on my phone so I can't just mindlessly log it. Kinda keeps me from being a facebook drone.
