Stay Off Social Media!

There is no such thing as secrecy or privacy on the internet.

Divorce Lawyer: Ashley Madison Hack Will Mean ‘Christmas In September’

If you must dink around on social media sites, then have enough good sense to use a disguised identity. Something that can’t be tracked back to you by employers, spouses, or lawyers looking for a payday.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

[UmbreonParticipant 152]

Yep. I’ve been telling people for years that giving out your identity on the internet, especially with your full name and exact location, is foolish. Anything you do/say can and will be recorded somewhere forever and ever and will be used to screw you over later. There is no delete button that really destroys it all. Those stupid things you posted on Social Media will outlive you.

The internet is forever.

They used to teach people this back in the 90’s but somewhere along the way society sort of forgot about it. Now I laugh and groan at all the people who never learned and probably never will.

Beauty fades, dumb is forever.

How many years … how many many bloody years will it take for the vast majority of the public to understand this concept?

I value and guard my privacy more than my money.

I just can’t grasp the level of stupidity of the general public.

My gast is flabbered.

There are good examples of this over and over again.

Twitter. did you retweet something offensive that wasn’t even your original tweet? Someone could dig that up.

Facebook. Did you post questionable pics and forget about them, someone can dig that up.

Ashley Madison takes it to a whole new level. These people get what they deserve, but I suspect a lot of women are going to benefit from this. The men who were being cheated on by their wives on AM? Not so much.

Warren Buffett predicted that the market for name and identity change will be huge in the future. People trying to escape a past shame or even an ancestor’s shame that everybody can see on the net. All indicators show that the oracle of Omaha may be right on this one too.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

Someone said it here months ago, and I remember nodding my head reading it: Facebook is for gays and women.

If I can’t have a beer with someone once a year or call the person directly and catch up on life, you are not my ‘friend’.

I will pull out my tinfoil hat for this one and say that Facebook is a CIA invention.

I really don’t get social media. It’s for people that want to show off. Narcissistic little people with no lives. Who is so stupid to spend hours and hours every day posting stupid s~~~ like the fact that they went to the frozen yogurt shop or posting a picture of their pizza on Facebook? Like seriously, WHO THE F~~~ CARES?!?!?!?!

Words of Wisdom!

Social Media as we know it, is used as a powerful divorce tool. Females gather evidence, and then use it against Men. The whole Ashley Madison thing is a perfect example of that thin ice some sites are on top of.

Don’t work in an office, not married, don’t give a f~~~ what anyone thinks. They can dig up anything about me they like.

[Crane CommanderParticipant 207]

I totally agree with Applejack. I’m to busy working or doing my own thing to play to attention games these so called women dream up.

Haha this s~~~s so annoying. When I was in college girls were always asking if I had a facebook so they could friend me. NOPE. Well make one, they’d say. NOPE. Seriously…I have no interest in logging in to some website to see some stupid duck face selfie or someone’s last night dinner. I thought a while back I’d make one when I got around to it just to keep in touch with some old high school friends and co-workers from over the years I’ve lost touch with, but after seeing what social media has involved into f~~~ that, no thanks. Its nothing but attention whores, stalkers, and endless fighting over stupid crap.

I’ve tried to pull people off social media for safer alternatives for me and them, but they refuse because they’re so dependent on it.

I’ve had to cut ties with some people because they refused to use anything other than facebook. I didn’t ask them to get rid of facebook, just that they accommodate a suitable alternative, but they would not. I’ve managed to weed out most of these people from my life.

This is hard to believe but, “social media specialist” is actually considered a job. These people consider themselves “gurus” for something that isn’t even technical or sophisticated at all.

So true and sad …. from what I observe this practices are used around in the West, I could continue the list:
Sex is Rape
Consent is Guilt
Yes is No
Healthy is Fat
Fit is Shaming

etc.

I actually like social-media. It serves as a distraction. While most guys and women are distracted by “likes”, “followers” and whatever else I can strive peacefully as I aim for success.

[rebelandboltmanParticipant 640]

To hell with Social Media. I don’t use it. I’d rather ride my motorcycles.

[economistParticipant 225]

I understand your hesitation at using social media, however I use it to freely promote my business and to share my social and political opinions and nobody has ever complained. I’ve never gotten any sort of negative attention from doing so. I understand many of us like to fly completely under the radar, but there really is something that feels good about proudly proclaiming your beliefs. To be honest, I really don’t care what anyone thinks about my opinions anyway.

[Anonymous 9]

What’s the point of having social media if your so called friends aren’t being sociable?

They just lurk your page, and then rarely comment on anything.

If you’re looking to screw married women then it’s a perfect device. The cheating that goes on behind social media on has to be astronomical.

I left FB last year.

[XSDBSParticipant 3598]

My high school class had a reunion this summer.
No letters, no emails, no phone calls, just a post on Facebook.
A month after the reunion, I bumped into a classmate, and she asked why I wasn’t there.
I said “Nobody told me about it.”
She said “If you were on Facebook you wouldn’t have missed it.”
I said “If you wanted me there, you would have called me about it. I doubt I missed anything.”

[Anonymous 9]

Man, I thought it would be cool in having contact with old classmates.

Not.

Everybody looks much older than me. They are settled into family life, and a host of other things that seems sort of lame.

Social Media has been the decline of civilization for a while now.
