Facebook Friends


Hola SNTCC!…So I have a little rant I need to get off my chest. Let the crowd say AMEN! I’m just going to say it..…I think Facebook fucked us up. (you still reading?..lol)

Okay here’s why…how is it that we can have "friends" on Facebook that if we see in public, we would quietly walk by? What is the purpose of Facebook?

When I joined it in college (early 2000s) it was a site for college students only. I guess to connect you with people on your campus? It used to be an elitist attribute that college educated kids could only attain access to; A for members only club. Now they just let any old body join the mix. You don’t need to be in school, you don’t need to have a job; you don’t even have to be a person! Now they’re businesses on facebook and ads too…Really? Well haven’t we come a long way from the initial concept $$$.

Back to the foremost gripe at hand….It’s kinda weird how we may know someone on Facebook, but not really talk to them in real life. So maybe they should rename ‘friend requests’, and instead call them keeping up request, because that is all it is. The crazy thing is that we as a population bought into that shit. Why would we want people we don’t speak to, or know really well for that matter to keep up with our lives? Do we just like to stunt? (show-off for my tigther laced folks..love yall!)

Have you ever caught yourself looking at someone’s Facebook pictures and getting jealous? Feeling like your life was not as interesting as the persons' whose page you were looking at appeared to be?  Facebook depression, aint that some sh@%t…now your not good enough?! It’s crazy when you really sit and think about it.

And Facebook started this non-sense where employers can just Google you and find out how your weekend really was..smh.

O, and we can’t forget those who use Facebook to make themselves feel important, on there real philosophical with it….those every five minutes posters…clogging up your timeline..lol…I feel like twitter may be more appropriate for them.

Now I’m not saying we should ditch Facebook entirely, but maybe we should rethink how use it.
