    P.S. - does anyone with half a functioning brain even use this shit?

    I've never used Facebook -- sorry, Meta -- and never will.

    There's a reason why enrollment is free. You're the product. They're using every tidbit of your personal information and making money off it. And if they spread a few lies and misinformation in the process, who are we to judge?

    I don’t know why I’m answering this because all you’re going to do is be an asshole to me. I use if for my open mic night that I host. It’s good for reaching out to people that I otherwise wouldn’t reach. Because of that, I’ve met a lot of musicians over the past several months. In other words, it’s good for advertising and marketing. I don’t use it for anything else.

    This rebrand is dumber, more hollow, and pretentious, than almost any other i can think of... AOL+Yahoo -> Oath might be worse.

    It started as a gimmick in college, but it's been extraordinarily useful. It's the main way I keep in touch with friends and family all over the world, and share my experiences abroad. It's also been useful for finding local events, organizing parties, buying and swapping unwanted items in your community, and networking generally. I consider it essential.

    I'm trying to leave, but also co-run a small organization. The customers like using it.

    I'd like to cut it down to just family in case I need genealogy questions answered, but no spoons for that right now.

    I post baby pictures and keep up on what my elementary and high school classmates are up to. I don't understand why anyone would use it for anything serious.

    We've got people willing to overthrow the US government and install a shitty reality TV star, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we're not going to clear it.

    Makes sense from a stock perspective. There's more to it than just a social media cesspool. It's a multi-faceted cesspool. If you buy the stock you're getting all sorts of shit.:madcookie:

    This is just a very elaborate advertisement for flavored psyllium.

    I started taking Metamucil about a year ago and I’ve never felt better. Massive healthy shits that coil all the way around the bowl, only require one or two wipes. I’ve never felt lighter below the equator, if you know what i mean!
