why are these people web-enabled?

[seperis]

Okay, level with me--the point of Facebook is to:

a.) be annoyed by your mother's obsession with getting gifts for Farmville.
b.) learn to hate fish every time you look at your feed.
c.) so people you met before the age of reason, or fuck, the age of puberty, can track you down like some kind of goddamn dark magic GPS, because I refuse to believe anything as beautiful as computers could be responsible for this shit.
d.) ex-boyfriends from non-English speaking countries who were instrumental in your growth and development can friend you. No reason.
e.) a long-lost friend is into otaku-like beliefs but in relation to the Fae (yes, nymphaea1, I am not joking, I have evidence) and sends you pictures (EVIDENCE). Of her wings (NOT KIDDING).
f.) Fundamentalist relatives. I'll just leave that as-is.
f.) give you a glimpse of what hell will be like in terms of population. Yeah, this.

Guess how many of these are happening to me right now?

Okay, showtime. Beat that list. I totally dare you.

The "poke" thing in FB, if you upgrade to "super poke" you can do stuff like throw sheep or fist bump or whatever. I really don't see the point. Why friend me if you aren't ever going to talk to me?

Those apps bug the hell out of me, especially because they encourage people to spam. You have to send a certain number of sheep (or fistbumps or whatever) to unlock other items, so it sounds like these people are using you for that.

I just...I don't even know...What the hell's the point? What's the point of unlocking all these weird pokey things, and NEVER TALK TO ME?
