Ke1t Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I've started using the Facebooks to facilitate the keeping in touch with relatives and family... but I've noticed there is a fucking ridiculous amount of preachy bullshit circulated on that site, intending to, I don't know, guilt trip people into conformity, I guess. I'd just finished telling my own sister to fuck off with the thing she forwarded, about how if you DON'T forward this wall of text (that pretty much calls you a wanker anyway) then you "Don't have a heart". I'd just finished telling her to fuck off when I get another fucking picture from someone else, saying how anyone who releases balloons is a tosser, because the wittle animals eat balloons and die. Tell everyone about the danger of balloons, why don't you? Jesus fucking Christ. Is it really at the stage where these cunts are trying to guilt us about fucking balloons? Well fuck them. I've sent the forwarder a message telling them that as a result of seeing this picture I shall be releasing many, many balloons into the environment over the weekend. And that it's my dearest wish that the world's last surviving Yellow Tailed Canadian Duck swallows one and chokes to fucking death on it.... and all because some cunt infuriated me by sending me unsolicited guilt trip bullshit. I'm all for saving the environment and all that kind of claptrap, but fuck off with sending me shite like that to try and guilt me into conforming to their fucking code of ethics. I don't send them pictures of me wanking into an empty cider can, I'd appreciate it if they would afford me the same level of consideration when it comes to their bullshit. Leary was ahead of his time... now he's a third rate actor in some shite TV show, and his comedy is for shit. But back then, he knew. He was ahead of the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrgpZ0fUixs 5 Link to comment
Jones Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Meh I doubt it's even their own code of ethics. I doubt anyone has ever thought twice about releasing a balloon into the atmosphere, except the one guy who is trolling the world by creating the pic in the first place. In any case I think the hidden message here is that if you're releasing balloons into the atmosphere you're not inhaling the helium in order to sound fucking hilarious. It's that sort of behaviour I'm more concerned about. Link to comment

FFS. What would deep sea divers use with their oxygen is what I'm more concerned about. Link to comment

Ke1t Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Didn't picture you as a Facebooker Kelt It's fucking horrible. There are people on there who do nothing but bitch an moan and inform you of every single thing they do, at every point of the day, to the point you get numerous alerts/updates telling you... "Got coffee at Starbucks. Lol" "Totally took the wrong turn on the way to work. Lol" "This morning my daughter said...(insert entirely uninteresting thing every kid on the planet has already said)... and I said .... (insert unfunny pish here). Lol!!!!!" Last night there was an alert from one of the wife's cousins, informing me she was off to bed. I signed up so I could stay in touch with my immediate family, currently residing in various countries around the world, and I''ve ended up with dozens of barely related eejits telling me on a routine basis how many shites they''ve had on any given day, and how god wants you to forward every piece of stupid fucking Guilt Trip bullshit they decide to post at you. I think I''ve made a terrible mistake. Link to comment

You can filter out the incessant posters of pish by either choosing the type of updates they do or just hide them entirely so that the only time you see their pish is if you view their timeline.

Ke1t Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 The ability to block these people is relevant to my interests. Presumably there will be an Options option somewhere. I see a number of blocked users in the immediate future. Before I do that, I'm posting "Blocking updates from a bunch of you boring fuckers... lol!!!!!!" They''ll know who they are. Link to comment

They''ll know who they are. just click on them to bring up their profile. there`s a `friends` button. if you click it, you can show or hide from newsfeed. that`ll be a good start to limiting the amount of tripe you need to trawl through.

fatjim Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hover over the person's name. Then hover over the friends button. Brings up a menu then click on settings and you can unclick the updates you don't want to see. Link to comment
