It was fun for a while, but I find myself just getting angry or depressed anytime I visit that site. It's a bizarre world with nothing but hate, hot takes, and weirdos like Julie DiCaro. I would never hang out with these people in real life, so why do I care what they have to say on Twitter? Done! I'm also considering getting off Facebook. Nothing but people posting shit to stroke their ego. Anyone care to join me?

I have a Twitter account in case I leave or am evicted from my current job and have to become a sole proprietor and troll for work. I only use it to have the option to DM various airlines when flights get messed up. I have had two tweets in the last five years. I don't see the point.

How much of a fucking weirdo do you have to be to delete an account?

Don't visit the site, lose the bookmark, anything.

If you must delete an account, then just do it and shut the fuck up. Sheesh.

Deleting it doesn't make you a weirdo. Having to announce to the world you deleted it does.

Remember when people used to announce that they were leaving the board? It was a press conference-type affair.

Great thread. Maybe I'll start one and tell the thrilling anecdote about using a $1.25 coupon at Mariano's today.

I got a twitter account like 2-3 weeks ago. I dont know what the big deal is. I subscribed to the Cubs channel but that's it. All it does is give you information. I rarely post.

I dont know how one can get angry at it. I don't have any people I follow. I just follow sports organizations or interests.


I got Facebook around the same time and that thing is the biggest lying POS site i ever visited. I looked up and friended people from like 20-30 years ago I knew. Then we caught up and talked on the phone catching up on our lives. Then I go to their facebook sites and everyone appears like they're all happy and cheery and living the perfect lives. But in reality they all have the same issues everyone has during life. I guess people feel better when they have to lie to the world.

And the facebook friends thing gets me. Some of these dorks have like 300-400 friends. I mean how many of those friends are real life friends?

At least i'm proud enough to say I have ZERO friends on Facebook and ZERO friends in real life! :)

100% agree with you about Facebook. Deleted my account after college. I'll keep in touch with people who I want to keep in touch with.

Twitter is different for me. I follow NBA reporters, comedians, physicists, some independent news people, and close friends. I've got it set as my home page. That's where I get my news and anything I want to read.

I don't use any social media but using Twitter is fine as long as you're just trying to keep up with sports and music and such.

If any guy here uses facebook, guess what? You're a burrito.

Someone did that on an old White Sox email discussion list. She announced that she would be leaving the list in five days...then four...and so on, until the big day. Supposedly, she later joined a web discussion board and said no one on the listserv would sleep with her. Weird.

The whole concept of facebook blows my mind.

What kind of loser of a man posts anything on there? You fucking dork.

Get a fucking a life and act like a man. Seriously.

I feel the same way Don. But then again I am running around this place with thousands of posts with folks that I collectively call gays. And if that makes me weird, I don't give a shit. You guys keep me entertained.

I agree that Facebook is stupid. I will never have an account. I wouldn't say that having a Facebook account makes one a dork. I get it if you are trying to promote your business or your band, or you are trying to hook up with women.

Going on Facebook to talk shit about people behind their back makes one a beta loser.

I'll never cease to be amazed with people who use something like Twitter and quit because you don't like the content on there. For real, are you letting other people curate the following list for you or what?

How about going on Facebook to talk shit about someone because they can't ban you there?

I don't use Facebook but I'll generally accept friendship if offered because I'm an agreeable fellow. There was a girl who sat in front of me in class who use to write "I heart good dolphin" on my notebooks. You couldn't hit me over the head with it any harder but I still never picked up on it. She had a cute personality but was kind of swarthy at the time. She friended me on Facebook. She is now some kind of well known yoga instructor in Los Angeles with all of the benefits you would expect from such a title. I tell myself that our lifestyles would never have worked together anyway.
