You guys know its nice to use when you live abroad and stay in touch with the family, but I have added waaaaaay too much people.

Will have to figure somehting out for that, maybe old fashioned e-mail.

What is Line?

Maybe you could just make a dummy account and notify your family to add that one and communicate with you through that.

I might log on once every three or four days. But I use twitter daily for news, sports, snark, etc although I don't actually tweet much.

I make a post a day, and it's always a post I know will get at least a few likes. So I visit twice a day, once to make the post, and once to check back and see who liked it.

I'm more of an attention whore than Wrath, sadly.

For a while I just posted whatever on Facebook, but I slowly started posting more and more of my "zero-like posts" on Twitter. I still don't get much interaction from them, but they're more likely to get a bite on Twitter due to who follows me.
Title: Re: Deleted facebook from my phone!
Post by: recursivelyenumerable on July 02, 2014, 11:07:59 AM
Facebook has gotten incredibly spammy with notifications and newsfeed ads. I keep it on my phone, but I have notifications turned off, more or less never go directly to the news feed, and only ever see stuff via a few pinned tiles for a few people I care about.
Title: Re: Deleted facebook from my phone!
Post by: king of the internet on July 02, 2014, 11:09:52 AM
I check facebook daily but mostly just because I have a boring computer job that allows me to kill time on the internet. I'm more into social networks like instagram or twitter that are focused on one thing rather than a clusterfuck of a million different things like FB. It almost feels kinda antiquated to me these days.

I think it's the opposite. It makes Facebook more efficient, so you can quickly check on the people you really care for.

But you still have your 'real' account so you can friend your second cousin, co-worker, second grade classmate without hurting any feelings.

every time i decide to try twitter again i wind up getting revolted by the people on it -- even friends -- as everyone either uses it as a sort of global irc for narcissists, or as tryhard tryout for a comedy act that's only in their head. it fuckin' NUMBS me.

also, the shit even smart folks say on there is gonna haunt their lives and careers to the end of their days. it's an ongoing ink of idiot digital tattoos onto their online personal history.

Hence why my feed is full of nerdy sports stats, sports news, political news, Coli fuckery, music stuff, and the drunken ramblings of CajoleJuice.

Sometimes I see something on my feed like this (https://twitter.com/SteveDeaceShow/status/483831014511243264) and get a tad rustled, then I remember I'm following that person specifically for election tears every four years. Oh and because I like his football tweets...

I finally had to delete my Facebook account after exploding on a racist cunt who was a friend of my mother-in-law (another racist cunt). It took me about 5 minutes to realize that these fucktards wouldn't dream of saying that shit in real life to people but I was reacting exactly how I would in real life.

Use an anonymous mail service to apply for the message board, claiming that you are an exchange student who lived there years ago and would like to keep up on current events.

I like to think I'm using it to its fullest potential, i.e. letting friends and family know I'm still alive and keeping up with all the local events. A lot of FB pages are pure shite though— fuck huffpost, Upworthy and their ilk.

I am thinking about deleting Facebook and stuff from my phone. My daughter says I fuss with my phone more than a high school girl.

It's more or less impossible for me to ignore that I've got an internet-accessing computer available to me at all times. I worry that if I became a glasshole, I'd stare into my navel and have my head up my ass at the same time, creating a kind of human Moebius strip.

But if I delete Google Plus, Facebook, and Twitter from my phone, I may be more inclined to use my Lynda.com subscription to learn new skills, a Japanese app to improve my language skills in this country I seem incapable of leaving, or even write a few more mails to my Mom.

Yesterday I've deleted mine:

- Twitter
- Amazon
- Paypal
- LinkedIn
- Windows Live

accounts. Feels good disappearing from the Internets. BTW to cancel Amazon account you have to send them TWO emails. Incredible.

Title: Re: Deleted facebook from my phone!
Post by: Kara on July 03, 2014, 04:38:19 PM
So how many languages, Kara?

I would only say with confidence that I speak English.

I've formally studied Spanish, French and Arabic. My Spanish is basically "mildly offensive gringo survival" Spanish now, but I can be funny in it from time to time. (I made a si se puede joke at a lunch in a bilingual office the other week that got a legitimate laugh.) My French is probably worse, but I was able to survive outside of West Montreal the last time I was in Quebec. My Arabic is a dusty bookcase in my mind and I have no idea how well I still speak it as a result of that. I imagine my formal Arabic is embarrassing and has huge holes in its vocabulary, but if you dropped me in Baghdad I could probably hold my own--discounting being an American in Baghdad outside the embassy that is. (Dialects in Arabic are far more forgiving / easy to speak than formal Arabic and Baghdadi was the last dialect I formally studied.)

I taught myself the Cyrillic alphabet last year so I've been informally learning Russian as my fancies blow. (Playing Dota 2 on US East / EU West also helped with this.)

I taught myself the Basque alphabet a few years ago (I want to say 2, it might be 3 now though) but Basque is far too complex a language to casually study as your whims command. I know enough about it to pronounce a word, have some interesting tidbits to drop at a cocktail party, or build comradery with a Basque-speaker, but that's about it. It's a silly dream, but I'd love to be able to actually speak the language someday because of how impractical it is (in that it's so difficult but spoken by so few people).

I know enough Yiddish vocabulary to find myself in awkward situations where goyim ask me what the word I just used meant, but I can't speak the actual language. Shit's verkakte, brehs.

One of my grandparents' primary language was Polish and their child (my parent) was bilingual in Polish during childhood. I know a few words and phrases in Polish as a result of this, but it's not even a coherent subset of vocabulary. (e.g. I don't just know dirty words.)

One of my grandparents spoke Polish, Hebrew, English and Sicilian (there's a funny story involving that last one I might tell sometime), I guess I take after them to a certain degree.
Title: Re: Deleted facebook from my phone!
Post by: Rufus on July 03, 2014, 05:35:10 PM
Arabic alone is impressive enough, even if it's a little rusty. :obama

My Spanish, French and Swedish are all but gone and Bosnian is on its way out too. "Use it or lose it", it's so true. :stahp I always toy with learning more languages or at the very least reactivating one I knew, but that simple truth above makes it difficult. English upkeep is really easy due to all sorts of media, but something like Yiddish? You'd have to be in New York to get any decent exposure and practice.

Smrt neznanju, sloboda narodu. :hitler

I think you use the dative case for neznanje there?

My not Jewish parent grew up in the Jewish part of Dallas (which I never knew existed), they know more Yiddish vocabulary than my Jewish parent.  :lol

Since this thread got bumped...

As I said, one of my grandparents spoke Sicilian. In high school my parent had a very wealthy friend whose father was Sicilian. He made his money in interstate trucking.

My parent thought it would be a great idea to introduce my grandparent who spoke Sicilian and their friend's father and arranged a dinner at their friend's house for this purpose. As stated earlier itt, if you don't use it you lose it, and my progenitors weren't exactly living in Bensonhurst at the time.

So my grandparent and my parent go to the dinner, my grandparent is cordial throughout the whole affair, speaks Sicilian with my parent's friend's father, everything seems to go great, etc.

Then they get in the car to go home and my grandparent goes ape shit. "[my parent's name], you are NOT to ever be alone with your friend's father, or ever be away from civilization with their family (Ed. note - for example, on a vacation)." My parent was taken aback by this reaction and asked why they should be so mindful of their friend's father. "No one with the amount of money that your friend's father has speaks Sicilian the way he does and made that money honestly." Naturally my parent thought my grandparent was being racist as fuck and dismissed their advice, went on a vacation to [destination redacted] with them, etc.

MANY YEARS LATER my parent is reading the newspaper and sees a story about a shootout in [destination redacted] wherein their friend from high school's Sicilian father was murdered. Like his name specifically appeared in print identified as a member of organized crime. Apparently it was a mafia dust up or some such thing, very scandalous. Naturally my parent immediately picks up the phone to call my grandparent about this incident.

Upon reaching them by phone, my grandparent just said, "[my parent's name], sometimes a child should listen to their parent," and hung up on them. My parent didn't even have to tell them what had happened. :lol

In retrospect it's not really funny that people died or that casual racism was confirmed so I apologize for indicating that this story was going to be funny.  :goty2

You know where people would probably want to see these kinds of posts?

...On Facebook.

Facebook is loaded up with so much junk clickbait and infographics that I find it hard to get to what I really want to see, girls posting pictures of themselves in their underwear.  Since Instagram is almost designed for that purpose, there's no need to use Facebook at all.  Twitter never had a use for me and I give no fucks about Pinterest, WhatsApp, or many of the other myriad of dumb social media sites that are trying to cash in before the bubble bursts in 3-4 years.

The most annoying thing about being back on campus is how all the clubs rely on Facebook to organize events and spread info.  I've logged on more times in the past week than I did the whole summer.  I just discovered this extension that I expect will make the desktop version of the website a lot more bearable. 

Kill News Feed (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kill-news-feed/hjobfcedfgohjkaieocljfcppjbkglfd?hl=en)

You can still send and receive messages, check in on group pages, and creep on profiles as you normally would, but the news feed is gone.

OH MY FUCKING GOD

I had to reactivate my old male account because a service I use requires it. I don't use it, I just let it sit there so I can use plug.dj. But it's impossible to delete friends now in bulk and this was just the thing I needed so I no longer get notifications

Facebook sucks because the user content posted by the people you chose to add? I'm pretty indifferent towards FB personally but those are some pretty silly reasons for shitting on it.

Yes. It sucks because the people it was built for have moved on and all that's left are 40+ years old and post videos that were funny back in 2008.
