No, I left Facebook in mid-2017 because I think it's pretty effective at damn-near hacking the human brain with targeted advertising, and that is the inseparable core of their business model. I came here more recently because it's the most functional and user-friendly meme generator I've found online. I also (obviously) like to argue with conservatives but the hostility...on both sides...gets tedious.

And if you don't, that's a paddlin'

I keep my views to myself, I'm trying to save my friendship with friends

That's the usual approach but some things are so absurd I just can't help. I always believe they'll see the flaw but some just don't want to accept.

A friend is where they take 30% of your paycheck and you pay them rent for your property, as well as detain you whenever they deem fit.

Sounds like the govt.

Lol most far left and right wingers just share story because of the headline. That's as much looking into as they do. Reminds me of high school drama.

Speaking of drama

good thing to study......

cognitive dissonance

It was! Why won't anyone believe me ='(

why let them "unfriend" you when you can "unfriend" them first? all "news" is fake.

Probably because at one point we were friends. I would just counter a claim because I don't think narrow-mindedly and hope to show the person, so instead of thinking differently on a subject, they chose to unfriend anyone with a different thought.

When people can't legit beat you in an argument so they try to punish you by cutting you out of their lives, They weren't your real friends in the first place.

Some people just want you to agree with them. They need little yes-sayer drones in their group.

There was guy on FB that I used to discuss politics with. He went off on a rant about a link be posted about a guy in prison being sentenced to an additional 27 years for using the internet. He said it was a violation of the man's rights evidence of how corrupt and unjust the system is. I researched it and provided links to the full story: the guy was in prison for gang crimes and was specifically ordered to have no use of the internet in order prevent his orchestration of gang violence. I got defriended.

Haha that's about what happened with me.

No big loss.

Small town Nerbaskan here, so we see each other at stores and stuff from time to time. I just smile and they'll avoid me lol

lol

What town? I have mucho familia in husker nation

Chadron

One guy, we lived in the same nieghborhood, hung out, went with his siblings to restaurants even. They moved to PA, wanted me to move there too, but didn't happen.
I get on FB 2015, he'd message me to debate people on his page while he stayed out and played their pal.

Anyways, all was cool till politics 2016 style, WHOO HOO!
First he unfriended me because disagreeing with his FB fwiendz is one thing, but him?
The after I Liked a comment that dissented against his, he blocked me.

He's done that to others, whittling it to a bunch that nod with him.

The block is one thing.

But what's funny is we'll have the mutual friends and there'll be arguments "gun violence, gun control, standing kneeling" whatevers relevant and has only "two stances" well anyways the unfriended will like everything the opposing mutual friend says if we debate, even the haha' s and lol's

Even when I know they share the same stance I'm taking in that argument.

Bust most friends can debate and argue yet stay friends.

People take this stuff too seriously.
If I'm discussing something with whomever, I wanna hear what they have to say, not an echo, nodding,,,
But you get these people that if you disagree even once, they take it as an attack, or that you're embarrasing them in front of everyone. Who cares if we disagree unless it gets too nasty?

Then I gotta wonder about those like my pal I mentioned, messaging me, "Go get that idiot..." Can't help but wonder if they're messaging others the same thing about me and just want to instigate others to argue for fun.

Plus you're supposesd to go along with their lies. Goodness, if all the people I know IRL lie like that, hate to think what the ones I know only from online are like,,,

Then* after
