...For four reasons:
1. I hate the fucking character limit. You can't say SHIT without using notes, which nobody reads.
2. Facebook is inane.
3. I don't think I have any further interest in maintaining contact with PDers who can't be bothered with PD. I also don't think I have any further interest with maintaining contact with the 2-3 people who ignore me HERE1, but talk to me THERE. Fuck you. And...
4. If I see one more person that I used to respect LIKING WalMart or fucking Target or Goddamn Appleby's, I cannot be held responsible for my actions.
Also, game requests. Not numbered because that should be obvious.
1 Apparently, ignoring me on PD gains you some sort of street cred if we have disagreed in the past. Or so I am told. Don't ask me, I didn't do it.
I mostly use Facebook for fucking with people and keeping in touch with A. family members and friends who are too old and/or simple to understand forums, and B. people I don't know very well and don't want to.
Not going to blame you there.
Facebook is for doing the stuff Nigel mentioned, spreading memes, and promoting your friends' bands. I made my daughter unlike WalMart under threat of unfriending. :lol:
Well, I decided instead to just unfriend anyone that can't be arsed to talk to me here, for whatever reason.
Other than my son, of course.
Now you have to publicly post that you've defriended people, so you can start massive butthurt board drama.

Thought about it, and in fact posted some shit at Discordia 2011. But no, in general, I'm just going to defriend the people in question, and just never bother with them again.
Heh. Just saw what you did on FB. There's a 68% chance of lulz.

Yeah. :lulz:
Seriously, though...There's a few people here that deliberately talk around me HERE, but are more than willing to talk to me THERE. Fuck them. And there's a pile of ex-PDers that can't be bothered with us anymore. Not so much of a "fuck you" to them, but if they choose to kiss Zuckerberg's scabby ass and never drop in to say "hi", then I really can't be bothered with them.
Also, under no circumstances do I have to put up with someone saying "Hey, hep cats" with a straight fucking face.

Seriously. I put up with it from Cram, because he's just weird that way.
But now they're all doing it, and it makes me want to throw a teabagger into traffic.

We only have 6 of them in Tucson, and they're so cute on their Rascal scooters.

You can have ours. There's apparently a nest of 'em down in Johnston.
One of these days, Richter and I are gonna hear about their meetings BEFORE they happen, and show up. :evil:

Right? I once shot my whole lunch hour just to try to hit up a TB rally. They all had wrapped and were bugging out before I even got there. Found out there next stop was hometown, and The Dad had tried to do the same.
I'm having trouble being arsed to post on FB. Ain't that a B? :lulz:
This place is easier. You have context provided and shit, and no reason to post about a cheap meal or cats.

No, that's okay. They're cute in small groups.
SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE SURPLUS?????
For me, FB is a convenient way to post stupid shit i find to my wife and my private group and other useless stuff to some people I used to know. Now that I think about it, I'm not exactly sure what that actually accomplishes. Ego boost?

Good move.
I only wish I had better documented my time there.

This is the correct motorcycle.
I find it hard to be especially bothered with Facebook, my account for trolling the EDL aside. And that's because if you introduce random breaks into the illiterate, racist rants posted by EDL members, it looks rather like Dadaist poetry, only with more racial slurs.

This makes me weep for humanity.
Also, please be aware that I shall be sending approximately 45% of California to your state. They don't use rascals as much because, well, we have some serious wildlife here that requires you to be able to run (even our deer are mean).

They just shoot everything here that's not making them money.
Thankfully, California is pretty serious about not fucking with our wildlife, so we've got wolves (or rather, wolf-dog hybrids), bears, and mountain lions, the latter of whom will come down rivers and hang out in urban greenspaces here in the interior, which is where most Tea Baggers are.
Although I should note ours are more mild than yours are. Yours might kill all the California Tea Baggers off, if I send 'em down there.
They're rare here. We do have a lot of bobcats, though. A bobcat could probably take down a teabagger on a rascal scooter IF HE'D JUST TRY.
Maybe the problem is how to get bobcats to drink tequila?

Wolf-dogs don't live long in the wild, so most likely you've got actual wolves. They've migrated back to Oregon too.
I use it to promote shows. It's a little trick I learned early on in my acting non-career--to make up for in audience what I lack in talent and charisma. Casting directors all know I suck, but in the dog-eat-dog world of community theatre, anyone who can pretty much guarantee upwards of a dozen ticket sales, is a shoe in for the role of "man in cafe #3". I hope to win a Tony one day for "most disinterested asses in seats who just showed up cause they read about the show on Facebook and thought a night out at the theatre would be neat".

I use FB for activisty co-ordination a lot. I'm running a page, and i have been trying not to spend my entire life on the computer, and get a decent sleep schedule. it's 3.45 am here, so today I suck at that, but generally I'm getting better, and more productive.
After using it last night to send out invites to my annual Halloween party, and then accepting an invite to a cider pressing this weekend, I realized that actually it makes a great IRL social-life coordinator. :lol: I've been using it that way all along, as well as using it to pimp my business page, I just don't find it all that useful for having actual conversation.
I use Facebook to bait people into smart conversations about why our political system doesn't work. The conversations are almost never enlightening to anyone, but people are very good at demonstrating the problems.

Same here. I pimp my bands and mixes, post and gather stupid shit about whatever pop-culture phenom is going on at the moment, and make plans with Team Vodka as to what's going on this weekend.
