I didn't realize people other than grandparents were still using Facebook...
Crazy
it's killing me, really. I can explain all the issues and risks and its just "oh" and right back to it.
I have this thing I say whenever my mother spouts some crazy shit she read online or from Fox News: "did the Facebook(Fox News) tell you to say that? Is the Facebook(Fox News) in the room with us right now?"
She gets super pissed, but it has taught her not to repeat any of that shit while I'm within earshot.
it's fucking insane.
my neighborhood has a Facebook and posts all the events and special news on there. even the local school posts on it.
I don't have a Facebook, asked them to email me instead. always got positive affirmation in response. "we do that for other folks too". never get invites to events. never get notifications to news.
they had a huge block party over summer, food trucks started showing up. two huge RV sized trucks parked along my yard. I came out asking wtf was going on. "It's a block party." I didn't know that it was happening... "oh yeah we posted it on Facebook last week to get your orders in for the trucks." so I can just go up and order from them? "no, you had to order last week because they can't cook the food here without a license." 😐
I always get emails when they need money or workers though.
funny how that works, right?
this was the last year I'll give them anything but the minimum $100 for routine landscaping.
they can choke on my contempt.
