Is Bimmerpost social media? Does it have an Appreciate button and Rep counter that can produce dopamine?

[Maynard]

It's complicated...

[6oclockshadow]

SM? It is vile cesspool of narcissism. Out in public, I am terribly unkind and judgmental to those with 'down syndrome'---everyone looking 'down' at their phone.
Social Media is why I think modern civilization is in decline.

[Humdizzle]

i think its ok to a degree. its just that alot of people dont realize that most of what you see is fake. filters, photoshop, giant loans on expensive things, etc. nobody posts about the bad stuff.

it can turn into an addiction like drugs, sugar, or caffeine.

[Maxmil982]

SM can be useful. I've learned 90% of what I know from forums and YT

[MsGoGoMoto]

2012-2014 had a FaceCrook account.
Here is what I learned and why it got deleted.

1. Individual I wanted nothing to do with could find me. Even bullies/azzholes from distant past.

2. Coworkers sent friend requests. Butt-hurt when declined.

3. Long lost extended family pop up. All friendly catching up for a week. 50% asks to borrow $$.

4. Friend whips out phone cam while we are at a bar drunk. uploads and tagged me. Now everyone sees me drunk at a bar on my personal time. Even coworkers, boss.

5. Stupid junk post sharing.

I just deleted it and decided to stay a social media dinosaur.

FaceCrook-deleted
Tweeter- nope
Instaspam- nope
Click Tock- nope
Snap crap- nope
What's crap- nope
Gookle- nope
Are there anymore?

LinkedIn - Yes for employment resume. Don't post anything.

Otherwise, call me on the phone. If you don't have my contact information……. We'll, sorry.

Yes, but with limitations and not mainstream as it is narrowed down to a niche.

I have one friend on here lol.

[Mein11]

No FB or anything like that. Life much easier. People who want to stay in contact with you will. FB is nice to see what family is doing since we're spread across the country, but that's about it's only use.

Live in the moment.

I just sent you a friend request.

Working in IT, I know better than to use any social media. My wife doesn't use it either. Neither of us have ever opened an account, and are probably the last people in civilization who have not accepted Farcebook's shrink-wrapped terms of service to sell our souls to the highest bidder.

I get a chuckle out of my family, always asking why I don't answer their Farcebook crap when they send it to me. Apparently, they are all friends with some stranger on Farcebook who has my name. When I couldn't make the family holiday gathering a few years ago, I suggested that they invite Farcebook me instead...and pray that he/she/bot was not an axe murderer.....

Thank you!

I remember a family cruise being set up years back over Farcbook after I deleted it.

My brother would have to call me on the phone to ask me if I was going/ details/ etc.. Now, right there I could see the benefits of Farcbook with the group thing. I was the only black sheep. But it it takes just one person in the group to expose you on and on and on. Next thing you know , you're trying to toggle all these security options and hiding friends list, blocking people, my goodness forget it!!!!

I think it started way before that. TV, and especially "reality TV," is where stupid became ingrained in people. Viewers expected more and more outlandish and crude behavior as they became inured to the flood of boorish behavior. Suddenly loud and obnoxious was perceived as preferable to thoughtful and considerate.

We had stuff like candid camera, Cops, cool

In comes Paris Hilton. Anna Nicole.



They seemed to have kicked off the worst ever..
Then the Kardsashes,
Survivor. OMG that was dumb.
Now that I'm old, everything is a remake.

I was done when they tried to remake
Knight Rider.

It's made of recycled plastic and has absolutely no talent worthy enough to be worshiped and imitated as much as people do today.

So, you're saying that a Kardashian is just like an i3 Giga World's seat cloth...made from recycled plastic water bottles?????

A relative by marriage wants to be governor of Cali.

P.S. You'd recognize him/her from your Wheaties box.

Personally, I'm THIS close to voting for Anglyne the Billboard Queen. Icon. entrepreneur, and politician.

Yes! It's good for sitting on and absorbing my farts.
Sure the plastic feels like a cheap used male hooker, but that means it's experienced and reliable
