    This seems really pompous and self important to me. Most people know to not expect an immediate response. I know it’s a joke but to say “it will take me 4 days to acknowledge you” is strange.

    This is one of several reasons I eventually ditched Facebook… People would text me a bunch of bullshit drama on FB messenger while I was at work and couldn’t stop to look at it, then start sending me more messages asking why I wasn’t responding lol

      I would hate to be a teenager in this day and age. The amount of drama that gets started over shit like you’re talking about is insane.

      As shitty as Facebook is, Snapchat takes that and dials it up to an 11.

      I have it on good info from my 16 year old that it is completely unacceptable to:

      • Leave a snap (message) unopened for any major length of time. How long is highly subjective.
      • Open a snap and not respond.
      • Group chat.
      • Send a normal message that doesn’t include a cringy photo of half your face.

      Kids actually get upset over this stuff.

      I’m just like, “I have a phone number. You can call or text it. If I feel like talking to you I’ll answer. If that’s a problem for you, too damn bad.”

        Social media was a mistake and a phone camera is the worst invention of our lifetimes.

        We destroyed society for absolute shit.

          I disagree. Advertising with a tracking component was the worst invention of our lifetimes. Or, if you are really old, possibly advertising in general. It provides 90% of the incentive for companies to want all your information in the first place.

          It was inevitable tho , and don’t get this twisted, I’m anti social media. The second internet became public and accessible to literally everyone social media was bound to happen. We are naturally social creatures and want to interact with others. The issue is people are farmed like fucking livestock now. Companies know what they are doing by fostering and facilitating this current form of behavior manipulation.
