    I'm not into social media (I cringe every time I see the Twitter updates on the big screen at Husky Stadium), so I don't understand the appeal of this feature. Guess it's another sign I'm getting old.

    I'm sure the UW AD's marketing department will be all over it.

    this is ostensibly social media (Hardcore husky) but in reality, as I said in my infamous OK! message, it's really more the anti-social sociopath media site.

    Ha. That's true. I've never thought of this as (anti) social media, but it is. I think it has something to do with the fact that internet forums existed before the term came into popular usage.

    So @DerekJohnson, are you going to take part in Zuckerberg's latest venture?

    I deactivated my Facebook account.

    90% of the people on Facebook take everything way too seriously. It's like they can't fathom the idea that it's social media and that many people such as myself treat it as a platform for entertainment and use the audience as a guinea pig for creative writing.

    What I've noticed is that people who were posting on internet forums before the days of Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter, do tend to understand the entertainment value of social media and have learned that it's stupid as fuck to take shit seriously and to instead just have fun with it. I'd say that describes most of us here at Hardcore Husky, the best damn website since sliced bread.

    Facebook basically became the gateway for simple-minded fucks who can't detect sarcasm or satire to get online and start writing/sharing a bunch of boring ass shit for their audiences.

    Like this thread.

    I still have it but the premise is right. I screw around with my updates and I used to post a lot of heavy metal/hair band Youtube videos and just do all kinds of off the wall things. Some people got it, but most didn't. One fag I went to high school with would lose it when hipsters, ultimate frisbee, or any sort of feminist notion was questioned and he eventually unfriended me. He and another guy didn't like my rant against stay at home dads. My hippy friend got mad at "sexist" memes and argued with me about it. Fagbook has way too many people who think we care about Crossfit, their kids, and their meals, or Candy Crush. It's supposed to be fun.

    Anti social sociopaths don't get together a few times a year in REAL life.

    I've noticed the same thing about all the SJW faggots. If you disagree with them, you're just a troll and should be unfriended or blocked. I can't think of a better example of willful ignorance.

    Speaking of hair metal bands and your avatar, I started listening to the album The Elder by Kiss a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. I never really delved into their more obscure stuff, but I think it's easily some of their finest work.
