Except people did all that BEFORE social media. That’s not Facebook’s doing - that’s just the internet.

Yes curing symptoms is a great idea. And of course the utterly predictable comments from the edgy commenter crowd since FB is an easy target.
I’ve been a sporadic Facebook user since it first started up while I was in college (I’ve got that .edu requirement street cred), and it’s basically been just an easy way for me to keep up with a few friends and family I don’t get to see on a regular basis. Since having kids, I definitely used it a little more to…
I think social media has done a great job at being effective at bringing attention to issues for sure.
Social media definitely shapes kids more than I care to appreciate.
I agree, the modern social networks, mostly Facebook have screwed things up. The ability for people to answer immediately in an anonymous way and “gang up” has created a very poisonous environment where there’s not a conversation just circle jerks. The companies and media have a lot of tools to know when these crowds…
Bernadette Peters will actually be 70 next year so she’s quite a bit past late middle age (she’s only 5 year younger than Malcolm McDowell if you can believe it). But that makes it even better in my opinion. An older woman is having sex without them constantly making a big deal about how amazing it is that an older…
“And don’t think, ‘Oh yeah, not me, I’m fucking genius, I’m at Stanford.’ You’re probably the most likely to fucking fall for it. ‘Cause you are fucking check-boxing your whole Goddamn life.”
Where’s Hari Seldon when you need him?
I live in the Bay Area, and most of my friends and family work in tech. I remember when these platforms were being created, they were always extolled as tools to “improve society” and “make the world a better place.” (If you’ve seen Silicon Valley, they do a great job of mocking tech companies’ misguided perception of…
Thoughts and prayers for the fabric of society being torn apart by social media. Like if you agree.
“And don’t think, ‘Oh yeah, not me, I’m fucking genius, I’m at Stanford.’ You’re probably the most likely to fucking fall for it.
This crap is in every aspect of your life even if you’re not on that garbage. And the violation of privacy is horrible and nefarious. Absolute true story from last week. I live in country A, I am not a facebook user. Friend lives in country A and is a facebook user. I am currently in country B. I use my mobile…
A-fucking men. I’m so angry right now I can barely see straight. Al Franken has always been a champion of women and a progressive fighter. If anyone deserved a chance and a hearing, he did. Why not let the Senate ethics committee do its job? His resignation won’t make a fucking bit of difference vis a vis Trump or…
Your account was created 3 weeks ago, and you have commented the same statement over and over on multiple articles regarding Franken calling Franken a rapist and anyone who talks about him a rape apologist. Fuck you troll. I hope you get hit by a bus that is on fire .
Agree on the criminal part, still I feel what Franken did, falls into the realm of no game rather than creep or predatory assualt.
You’re not practicing logic or emotional intelligence right now.
There’s literally no rape at all being discussed in the Franken case.
I hate to be right here but, I called it.
