This 100%.

well they are all women

Pretty sure if you left out "Facebook demographic", the sentence is still true

New young parents are up there for the worst. Suddenly they are the wisest people ever and must share with us

I still think the 2 worst groups of people are:

1). Today my dad would have been 112. Can't believe he's still gone.

He probably wasn't making it to 90, and what do you mean by "still"?

2). Just wanted to wish my wife the Happiest Mothers Day ever, thank you for all you do.

You know I was gonna post the exact same thing about my wife, but then I looked up and noticed she lived with me, so I just told her instead.

+1 to both.

The first one is bad, but it's worse when they actually address the deceased, like 'hope you're ok up there' or 'hope you're proud of me' etc. They are never going to be able to see that status. Ever. It's just a sympathy reach.

Also, on the second one, even if the wife can see it on his Facebook, why does it need to be written there? Do they need affirmation from all their friends about how wonderful of a husband he is for taking 10 seconds to write a Facebook status? Ridiculous.

Same applies to couples that write they love eachother on the other persons wall, then proceed to comment 50 times on the statuses. Have that conversation in a private message, not on everyone else's feeds.

I just imagine both of them typing on their smartphones in each other's FB while sitting next to each other on the couch in silence. At least it makes me chuckle.

Woman eat that **** up though.

They love it.

**** load cheaper than buying flowers or something.



Note - I never actually do it, but I understand why someone does.

did it make you feel smart to drop the KNOWLEDGE BOMB that dead people don't actually read facebook?

Yup.

As a big fan of B.B.'s, this got me pretty rustled. Not going to bother jumping into the comments but thought it might be cathartic to post here.

[x] mater fact

I'm sure he's a very talented "musician"

minimal tact, but the great mourning of minor celebrity deaths has gotten out of control. wasn't the dude really old anyway, I can understand being hit by the suddenness factor when its a guy like ledger/walker

He's got lots of hot takes apparently

This guy is on your friends list? That's kind of embarrassing.

No. A mutual friend commented and it showed in my feed (public posts)

I actually kind of agree with Shannon's FB status. The guy lived to 89. There's nothing tragic about dying at 89.

Not necessarily tragic but remembering his impact and importance isn't bad.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that. But the whole "Who cares?" narrative when one of the most famous musicians of all times dies is pretty dumb.

True, and from his other post the guy is obviously an idiot. However, it gets tiresome seeing all the people who couldn't name one BB King song yesterday posting about how sad they are. It'd be nice to think this raises interest in his music, but they won't be able to name one next week, either.

Was all that trash talk about BB King from a white guy named Shannon? I think that's all we need to know about his thoughts and feelings being valid

The "I don't care so no one else should care either" thing bugs me a lot.

I think you're in the wrong thread then my friend.
