Pinterest.
I want to know.
How is it that I legit try to promote my stupid blog, and update it often(not so often), and actively(occasionally) use it…but I get more followers weekly on a website I never – and still don’t even know how the fuck to – use?
Dubbya tee eff, mates?
Seriously.
I joined pinterest (which I still like to pronounce ‘pee-interest’. Imagine what a different site it would be if that’s what it really was) a year ago, maybe? Because twinny used it and wanted to show me some wedding dresses or some shit.
So I joined.
To look at pictures.
Since that day, I’ve had what seems like daily emails saying ‘so and so is now following you on pinterest’.
…why?
At some point, I felt like I was thoroughly disappointing these followers and decided to give the website a try.
Nope. Still don’t fucking get it.
I added some pictures of shit.
Is that it? Is this something people enjoy? Looking at pictures other people find interesting?
…because…can’t I do that on Facebook?
Speaking of that…
I’m a chiver. I enjoy cute animal pictures and memes as much as the next guy. Sometimes, I’ll enjoy a photo so much that I may even share it on Facebook (gasp!).
But these old-timey pictures with the witty(not so witty) statements on them…please. PLEASE stop sharing them so much.
And the ‘like this picture if you think cancer sucks!’ photos.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never met anyone who actively endorsed cancer. I’m quite confident that nobody actually likes the idea of cancer. I’m not sure I need to ‘like’ a picture on Facebook to declare my stance against cancer.
In also pretty sure that liking these pictures is not going to do anything to help the effort to find a cure.
Basically, you’re just clogging up my newsfeed and making it more difficult for me to stalk people. YOU’RE WASTING MY TIME.
I particularly enjoy the ‘repost if you love jesus, keep scrolling if you like the devil’ ones.
Because Jesus and Lucifer actively keep up with their Facebook accounts, and they will know. Thats right. The Jeez will know you think the Lu is cooler. And that will hurt his feelings.
And then all of his statuses for the next week will be dashboard confessional lyrics.
I’ve been seeing the ‘like if you’re std free!’ picture a lot lately.
I’m wondering if people feel compelled to like this picture because they think, by not liking it, that others would assume they do in fact have an std.
I feel the opposite. If you’re my Facebook friend, and you like this picture, I’m going to assume you have something to hide.
Like herpes.
While I do enjoy funny photos and witty jokes and insightful quotes and ‘one does not simply‘ memes, there are websites dedicated to these sorts of things.
When I log into Facebook, I’d like to see the things Facebook is for: seeing how much my friends are working out, what they are eating, or lyrics.
Thank you.
And now I’m going to link the shit out of this post with rage faces and memes.
Because I can.
…youhaveanicerestofyourFUCK!
WTF, mates?
