Social Networks; The Realm of Vacuous Mingling

Heh? Calls of what type? You work in a hospital, do you not?

ich verstande deine Ausschweifungen nicht.

Out of those 8 or 9, how many of them know the term "decedent"? The twits I deal with always refer to the poor sap as "the body". Insensitive fucks!

 

[EricT]

At least they speak english...

 

[dorian gray]

We don't see too many decedents. We do our thing and then crawl back into the shadows.
I saw a dwarf one time.

interesting phrasing.

Bluetooth is probably the most fucking anoying invetion ... I feel like swatting that shit out people's ear. I mean how fucking stupid is it to walk down the street, with nothing in your hand, and just seemingly talking to yourself.
And usually its people that don't seem to need it that have it.
I have yet to see a busy suit and tie guy/gal don one.

My boss has one of those things and it's fucking annoying. Cunt uses it all the time. I'll go in to ask him something in his office, he'll look up and ackknowledge me, I'll ask him the question, his response will make no sense. Then I realise he's on the phone. Jackarse.

i know every move dorian makes because of his incessant updating on twitter about his trivial and often mundane simple daily tasks, no matter what it is. Yesterday, I learned that his household had ran out of TP and was stuck on the toilet with mudbutt.

now he's going to pick up some milk and diapers at the local convenience store.

twitter makes me bitter.

I still prefer Myspace over all this crap. If it weren't for one friend whom I can't communicate with other than on Facebook, I'd delete my Facebook account. On Myspace I've kept the original home page format, blocked applications, blocked band requests, made my profile private, and so I pretty much never get bothered or have to read where a friend of a friend's friend has farted in a friend's general direction. It's pleasant.

dorian is on twitter and not on FB??? that fruitcake ...

but really ... does Twitter have ANY redeeming qualities?
I think the only reason people use it more than FB is the anonymous factor. I see no other.

Yes twitter is qutie useful. I think it's an awesome way to check out posted links. You can search terms and find related articles; also if you go to a big gathering, you can get everyone to end it with #RCFEST and someone can see what's going on. For example, you could be at RCfest, but too hungover to go to the venue, and Jerry tweets that the first band is going on with free beer. He would help his friends and a lot of other people.

Bars also tweet what beer are on/off tap, just by a simple text.


If you think of twitter as a microblogger, it's useful, but if you update thinks like if you are wiping sitting or standing, it's pretty lame.

Where I live, Bluetooth=douchebag alert.

 

[dorian gray]

Hey, didn't the douche suit guy in Season 1 of Breaking Bad have one of those? You know, Walt set his car on fire? haha I need to watch that episode again.

each passing generation gets more and more ego-centric.

The last thing I would want to be doing at a Fest I've flown thousands of miles for is to be buried in the phone tweeting to some lightweight who can't hold his Winter Ale. I refuse to carry a cellphone on my person. It stays in the car 9/10ths of the time. Fuck being "connected", pass the demerol.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I'd delete my Facebook account.

They don't have email access? Anyhow, I made the jump back in to reality and deactivated fagbook. I love how they give you a guilt trip at the end by showing you pics of your friends who have been tagged in the same photo as you.

*Aurel Will Miss You* *Ken Will Miss You* *Brandon Will Miss You*

As if I'm supposed to have a moment of weakness, think things through, and then go back to create more moronic lists and water cooler posts. I'll reserve that right for RC thank you very much.

Do it while you're pissing. Unless you're pissing next to me, then it's picture time.


Anyway, my point is that it can be useful. It's not something that is complete shit.

I won't use Twitter, since I describe myself as a rather boring person. I do have to have the cell phone with me at all times though, especially if I have to interview a band or two at the shows I go to.

I miss you Jerry
