[The Dirty Filipino]

I usually go on Facebook to browse pictures and stuff, occasionally say Happy Birthday or w/e. But I am by no means a 'Facebook' whore. Anywho, I was on Facebook today and saw a message. I got all excited (as most people do when they get new notifications or w/e) and went to read it. I noticed the subject 'Mob Wars' and was immediately sad. I read the message and it quite upset me (though I do not know why). I go on Mob Wars maybe once every couple days to do 3 jobs, attack 6 people and Hitlist anyone who attacked me since last time I was on. Needless to say, I don't play the game regularly. I messaged the guy back, because it annoyed me and this is the convo.

I hope to god I have better things to do when I'm your age than troll a free turn based RPG on Facebook.

Could be why you're single, 'ey?

Oh don't worry, I haven't let anything you said offend me. I just find it funny that in your little moment of eccentricity you managed to show

a) The reason that you're single at 50.

b) The fact that you don't have a social life which seems like a logical view, as you've succumbed to messaging the owner of an account in the game who obviously doesn't give a shit.

and c) The reason why Drexel is ranked #100 in top business schools, spewing out graduates like you who have nothing better to do than send meaningless messages to people halfway across the continent that obviously don't play this shitty thing you like to call Mob Wars.

Explain what it is I stand to lose please. I should probably listen to the man with the International Business degree. I mean after all, he made it all the way to New Jersey. 9 Miles away.

Does it increase your ego a bit to know that you can sit on your ass and click buttons better than a college undergraduate student? Do tell.

wow, you really take this too seriously. Don't let my being the better man upset you. Grow some balls and develop a sense of humor. Then maybe you too can retire in your 40s. Unless you die of stress sooner, that is.I will not answer any more of your ridiculous and asinine remarks.

Today at 6:41pmDear dipfuck,

You were the dumbass that sent the message. Take your own advice about the sense of humor. Use fact to back up your statements, that makes it a 'logical' argument. Spewing nonsense about growing balls is ridiculous.

I'm glad you were able to retire in your 40's, too bad my goals before I retire include a bit more than dealing with Medical Antiques. I'm doing something with my life, not giving up early because of how pathetic a waste it has become (which seems to be what you've done).

And remarks are merely observations. They don't ask for nor warrant answers or retorts. Again, merely observations. But I'm glad you think my observations are foolish, merely considering that I'm just repeating back fact and what you've written about yourself to the world.

Have fun finding your impish pixie. Faggot.

If you're wondering where I got all the info about the guy, a simple google search shows some info about him.

But yea, it just annoyed me.

I don't why I'm posting this, I'm just bored and need a break from Statistics.

I don't understand people's love for facebook or myspace.

I don't understand people's love for facebook or myspace.

It's a nice way to keep in contact with people who have moved or people you haven't seen in a while. I know I started using Myspace a lot once my friends graduated high school and moved. It's also a nice way to just talk to people when you're not hanging out with them irl, or don't have time to. I've never used Facebook though, but I'm assuming it's mostly the same thing.

[Vegas]

Facebook>>>>>>>>>myspace

[Rhiann]

I guess this is how I think about Facebook/Myspace:

There's few people I want to keep in contact with.
I do that through MSN.
I don't see the point to keeping on contact through facebook when that's what MSN is for.

But I guess that site has novelties that people are attracted to.
I just don't have many people I want to keep in contact with, and when I do, they're on my msn, haha.

Not to mention I don't WANT anyone from high school or college to find me.
*cough*

I unno with MSN, if you talk to someone you haven't talked to a while, its like you have to have moving convo or it'll get awkward. With fb/ms, you can just drop a "sup/what you been up to/etc" on their page without being pressured to have a moving convo.

[Rhiann]

Hm, true.
Never thought of it that way.

Plus some people are popular and not hermits.

Who cares if you're popular. I don't understand how knowing a lot of people fulfills anyone's life. Popularity is based on hypocrisy. If all those people got to know each other for who they really are, no one would want to be friends with hardly anyone. I'd rather keep the one or two close people who I actually care about as friends than any of the 908726897 people those popular cheerleaders and jocks keep around them that wouldn't do shit for them if it came down to it.

I bet you sat by yourself at lunch.

[Vegas]

That was meannnn.

You can't judge a book by its cover. I've met people who I had the impression that they were stuck up, total douches etc. and some of em turned out to be nice and fun to chill with and some even became good friends. Obv. some people are on the inside what you see on the outside. I myself been mistaken for being stuck up by a couple of now friends but im a pretty open and chill guy.

dont judge people by the cover

Nope. I'm married irl thanks.

*sigh* What you're obviously not getting is that it's a difference in personality. Some people like myself would prefer to be with only one person at a time rather than in a whole group. If I am in a group, I tend to be quiet and observe. It's all just preference. Just because somebody's an extrovert doesn't make them an asshole who won't do shit for anyone else. Some of the nicest people I have ever met have been some of the most popular people in my school. That's why they were popular there. They'd bend over backwards just to make you feel welcome.

Not to say, of course, that some popular people weren't straight out dicks. It's just there's dicks in both groups and why the popular ones are singled out, I don't quite know. I knew some absolute assholes who DID sit by themselves at lunch.

Do you think it's a girl thing to enjoy being close to only a few people? I know there are a lot of girls that tend to be popular. But I've also seen more girls be introverts then men.

Naw I'm sure there's equal numbers on both sides. I think men and women probably show it in different ways, though. Women tend to show more that they're shy as it's not shameful for women to be shy in our culture. For some reason men being shy is somewhat looked down upon. I'm not entirely sure why so men either avoid the situation entirely or force through being uncomfortable ("man up").

That's what I've personally seen anyways.

I get the difference in personality. I'm an introvert myself, I think so and that's what my type shows up on any Jungian personality test.

What I don't understand is Amour's biased statement. Forgive my impolite approach but it doesn't make sense why people come in with such jaded misconceptions. I sat by myself at lunch, because the majority of the time I had better things to do than 'hang out'. Lunch for me was where I got all my shit done, so that when I was out of school, I could socialize.

The statement I responded to from Amour appeals to me in the same fashion as someone not from my generation making generalizations about my own generation. Certainly there are stereotypes and similarities, but to make a statement saying you'd rather be friends with 1 or 2 people is just stupid. I can't think of anyone that has more than 5 'close' friends, but that doesn't prohibit them from being popular. Come to think of it, your stereotypical jock or cheerleader, as you seem to hate because of how 'fake' they are, are generally the people that lack a lot of close friends that close-knit 'unpopular' groups have. Those popular people are the ones who usually only have one close friend, but that doesn't prohibit them from being social.

In other words, think before you speak (or type). Facebook isn't about popularity unless you view it as such. It's a social network. The more branches you have, the better that network is. It's not saying you have to be best friends with someone to add them to your profile.

For instance, I posted on Facebook saying I needed a tutor for Japanese, as I'm trying to master the language. If I would've had only my 'best friends', I would've been fucked because the likelihood of 3 people knowing Japanese is relatively small compared to the XXXX of friends on Facebook. But I had three people from my High School that currently go to my college text me and say they could help. I never was 'best friends' with these people, but I've obviously spoken to them before, and now I'm getting help with Japanese.

Responding to the statement about females being more likely to be introverts it's just a matter of your scope of vision. In fact, I do remember reading that more males are introvert than females.

Have you ever seen a guy go to the bathroom with another guy when one guy didn't have to? No, that's just gay. Either that or the guy that had to piss was so drunk he couldn't hold it himself.
