The more time I spend on Fark, the more I realize everyone else's life sucks too.
 
2012-01-21 09:18:15 PM
What's a boobie?
 
2012-01-21 09:26:54 PM
What's a life?
 
2012-01-21 09:31:31 PM
Hmm, I always figured the happier people claimed to be on facebook, the more miserable they were irl. Life is good, I have nothing to prove.

Well, DUH.

What are people going to post on Facebook, their struggles with cranky spouses, constipated dogs, and shiatty co-workers, or the highlights of their sparse private time?

"Hey honey, should we mention how little Billy is a schitzo fark who cries when he sees cucumbers, or mention he got first place with his Little League team"?

/People who haven't figured this out probably SHOULD be sad.
 
2012-01-21 09:55:24 PM
That's because Fark is not about making yourself feel better. it is about making everyone else feel worse.
 
2012-01-21 09:56:29 PM
And there's something wrong with thinking about boobies?

/Probably on Fark way too much
//Facebook sucks

quoinguy: What are people going to post on Facebook, their struggles with cranky spouses, constipated dogs, and shiatty co-workers, or the highlights of their sparse private time?

Yeah, facebook only has other people and their moronic ramblings, most of these people you dont even talk to in real life.

I spend maybe 30 mins a week on FB, the most I ever spent was the trip to europe, you know, something people may be interested in knowing about. Those 5 videos you thought would be good to post? Not something we give a rats ass about or that you copied and pasted a cause in your status.
 
2012-01-21 10:03:47 PM
The more you think your life sucks? I'd say feigning happiness over trivial things leads to the revelation your life does, in fact, suck.

facebook is an attention whore's dream. If you wanted people feeling sorry for you or to shower you with attention you had to work at it a little, now all you do is post one time "I don't know what to do anymore, I just can't take it" and sit back and watch the explosion of posts , the more "friends" you have the more attention you get. An easy ego ejaculation.

That's like , my opinion man.

Chicken or egg?

Correlation or causation?
 
2012-01-21 10:18:10 PM
The more time I spend on Facebook the more I hate my friends.
The more time I spend on Fark the more I hate complete strangers.

So it evens out fairly well for me, to be honest.
 
2012-01-21 10:21:37 PM
WHAR BOOBIES, WHAR?

Could this turn into a BIE thread? I doubt it, but since I'm on Fark AND Facebook, I'll just have to have hope.

/EIP if this goes anywhere...

Facebook is something to do for people with no lives. These peoples lives would be sucking just as much with Facebook as without.
 
2012-01-21 10:59:47 PM
Hmmm. I deleted my fb not long after i got back from afghanistan, and the only think keeping me from shooting myself is copious amounts of vodak. I'd hate to think where I'd be if I still had to put up with my ex-fiance/ex-friends ramblings. Perhaps I've reached terminal velocity headed towards hell?
 
2012-01-21 11:09:56 PM
It's definitely about AWing. Please. Who the hell wants constant updates about you? Everyone is too busy posting about themselves.
 
2012-01-21 11:14:16 PM
I don't know about you people, but I get on Facebook to make fun of people who air their stresses.

Why yes, I do have few friends, why do you ask?
 
2012-01-21 11:16:10 PM
I miss foobies
 
2012-01-21 11:21:15 PM
hey fark has helped me discover teachers do their students, global warming is a myth, christians are terrorists and all republicans are secretly gay.

also, I don't know what a justin beeber is.
 
2012-01-22 12:32:41 AM
This should have been obvious for one SIMPLE reason:

Those pictures of your friends/faux-friends smiling?

You're not in them.

They're having a good time. Without you.

Of course, the longer people are subjected to that hey'll feel sad.


Now talking about important matters:

I've never recieved BIE. I'd like for a altruistic female farker to change that :(

BIE = Boobies In Email = A fellow female Farker deemed you worthy (either funny or cute) enough to see her boobies and awards you by sending you a picture of them to your email.

EIP = Email in profile, so the aforementioned fellow female Farker sends you the delicious visual reward.

I always think about boobies. But maybe that's because I'm a guy. Also I've noticed that my facebook friends (as well as my own status updates) seem to be having a pissing contest with the world. They're always about how good something is or working out or doing something new that you aren't doing/experiencing. There's quite a few couple people that are always talking about working out or a new diet but you really don't see much of a change. There's a tiny percentage of that group that actually has noticeably changed.

Anyways its a saturday at 3:15am and I just got back from the bar and am pleasantly inebriated. If anyone wants to soothe my inevitable hangover with some BIE feel free to do so. Or if you want to keep me up tonight with some, I'm not going to complain either. Also if you have any good suggestions for treating a hang over, I'd like to hear.. So far, menudo or whataburger seem to be effective.

I split my time between Facebook and Fark and all I think about are boobies I can suck on.
 
2012-01-22 08:42:49 AM
What's a Facebook. Is it similar to a facepalm but more painful?

I tried a wake 'n' bake for the first time on new years day (you can imagine the hangover from a new years' eve party). I can tell you with 100% certainty that pot is the one true cure for a hangover. Normally I sleep the entire new years' day away and take about 9 advil and still feel like a bag of sh*t. This year I had a quarter of a doob, and I felt no more headache or nausea, and managed to stay awake playing Battlefield for 4 hours before taking a nap. Completely removed the hangover. I'd heard of this from others but never experience it myself. I was really astonished it wasn't just B.S.

If you NEVER do pot, this is the one day you should allow yourself to.

How is going out of your way to get attention here at Fark with a post like that different than posting it else where? I don't get it. Where you hoping no one would read it or comment on it here? Or were you hoping for some attention?

Uhhh, because this is anonymous venting? And by definition "anonymous" means to avoid knowledge of one's identity, ergo, avoiding attention?

Dictionary--buy one, idiot.

Not sure I like your calling another poster "idiot", but the "anonymous" concept is spot on concerning how this is different than Facebook.
