LJ friendback extravaganza!

[mothwentbad]

I don't use LJ as much as I used to, what with Facebook being sort of like a blog except people I know in real life are silently horrified by what I have to say from time to time (or so I can only suspect since 90% of them never comment on politics or religion but spam the hell out of the "like" button when I post something about puppies

except people I know in real life are silently horrified by what I have to say from time to time (or so I can only suspect since 90% of them never comment on politics or religion but spam the hell out of the "like" button when I post something about puppies).

It's as if there were certain "safe" topics, and as long as we stay with those, all is well. And who can disagree with puppies? Even people who kill and eat puppies like them on some level.

they love them the MOST. =P

Note: Facebook is popular because it's lowest common denominator - any moron can grasp it and use it. No one is overtaxed by being required to write entire paragraphs; it is filled with time-killing easy games.

Consequently, the level of discourse over there is about 4 cm tall. It's perfect for my ex-husband, because his primary mode of communication is appeasement and making everyone feel happy, and you only need about 100 characters to do that. It drives me mad, of course, because you simply can't express anything complex and have anyone listen to you; post something complicated or thoughtful, and IT'S AS IF YOU FARTED.

Yeah, that character limit is all like, "ooooh, you're WORDY! Would you like to post that *as a NOTE* instead, Mr. Wordsworth Wordington?"

And then I break something with my axe.
