I can turn chat off, but PMs still appear in the messages folder. They just don't pop up.

Yes. That is how it's supposed to work, when you turn chat off and it stays off instead of inexplicably turning itself back on the next time you log in.

I never log out.

I also hate that Facebook turns PMs into chats.

This.  Sometimes I just wanna SAY something.  Then it turns into two people spending WAY too much time basically texting.

YES.

And the thing is, because you can't tell the difference between "person trying to send PM" and "person trying to initiate a chat session" it always feels like you should respond promptly, which often has the effect of creating a chat session that NEITHER PERSON WANTED.

Today is going to be a complainy day. I woke up way too early and now it's too late to go back to sleep.

GEOLOGY. SLEEP DEPRIVATION. CRANKINESS.

I guess I could try to lay back down for an hour and see if it helps at all.

I also spent Spring Break Spring Breaking way too hard and now I think I'm Spring Broken. Time for a few months of clean livin'.

I am going to complain about young people today.  Not because I hate them, but because old people did it when I was young, and I don't want the kids of today to feel left out.

I get the same thing with the "Recent Posts" vs "Newsfeed".  I don't care what your algorithms say is popular.

I have none of these facebook problems as no one but family ever messages me.
I'm seriously thinking of just unfriending everyone, besides family, I have on my list since I haven't spoke two words with them since I added them. Would free up the newsfeed some.

Actually here's something sickening. Facebook despise the most recent sorting and about two years ago switched to the top as the default, which resets itself every few weeks.

I could live with that but they have changed most recent, it's not actually most recent:

Facebook automatically downranks news items from people in your list that you haven't clicked on in a long time. Don't believe me? Click on a bunch of your friends that you haven't clicked on in a long time and watch your newsfeed change.

I HATE it. there are plenty of really funny people I have on facebook that I only know in passing but that I might enjoy reading their updates.

Apart from that there is the whole implication of facebook deciding who you are closer to and imposing it's decision upon you.

Looking at April 15-20th in Portland.  Busy for 15, 16 during the daytime, not sure about 17th.  18-20 nothing to do but see the city and abuse my liver with shitty beer.  I have decided that bourbon isn't my friend anymore, after behavior associated with forgetting to NOT take my sleeping pills while housed.

Hell!Yes!

Me too, only I didn't get out of town because I had to work, so I just ended up being in really bad shape from 7-4 for 5 days while somehow managing to hit the ground running again as soon as I got off everyday. Why? BECAUSE SPRING BREAK, THAT'S WHY! (ouch)
