I am so sick of people sharing shit on Facebook and promoting incorrect or just plain stupid ideas. My cousin posts crap comparing Obama to hitler. Old friends share posts about drugs they know nothing about. Ugh! I'm starting to hate Facebook!

Oh my! Lol, what freaking drugs?

[nirvelli_lynn]

The drug was "Molly". And while I'm not a supporter of it, I just have issues with spreading propoganda.

[great_dame]

Is it true what they say about Molly and "suicide Tuesday"? Do you really wring your body of seratonin until there isn't any and suffer a big depression until it's replenished?

[nirvelli_lynn]

Molly does impact brain chemistry temporarily by decreasing serotonin and yes it can cause depression until the brian chemistry is rebalanced (I think about 3-5 days until its back to functional neutrality). I'm not saying it's safe and there are no risks. There are always risks to any recreational drug. I'm saying that people need to know the risks. Do the research. Know what is addictive and what is not.

facebook suuuuuuucks. I'm only still there because, well, it's an easy way to keep in contact.

I'm starting to feel the same.

I block a whole lot of that junk out because I just don't have the bandwidth to deal with people's fuckwittery.

[nirvelli_lynn]

I guess I need to learn how to do that ;)

Go to Facebook, find a fuckwitted post. Hover your mouse over the fuckwitted post. A light grey arrow pointing down will appear at the upper right corner of the fuckwitted post. Click on that arrow, then click on "Hide ...". You can let that just hide the single fuckwitted post. If you've got someone who posts lots of fuckwitted posts, then you can also click on "Change what updates you see from this fuckwit". You can either select to not see some types of updates (although, sadly, Shares isn't on the list, which is the biggest offender of the type of fuckwitted posts that I see), or you can select to only see "Only Important" updates, which means that you'll generally see fewer posts from the fuckwit. Or you can unfollow them completely. They'll still be your FB friend, but you won't have to see their junk in your newsfeed; you'll only see it if you click through to their wall. I use this on certain right-wing nutjobs that I know.
