lol at both those stories, I never got Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, and I suppose I do regret it from time to time. All my friends, or most are all over it, so I get most of the hilarious updates, child births, simping bytches who got ran through back when, unlikely hookups, whatever, but for as nostalgic a person as I am, I do kinda miss that I can't or don't catch up with, or keep up with. I imagine a good amount of people from my middle school never 'made' it anywhere, but I know some did….There are good and bad points to both, and I think there definitely some of the same personality types running around here, but the constant narcism and relentless glamorizing of ordinary or unenviable lives is hard to take…I browse peoples IG's or Facebook profiles, and it's pretty hard to take, after a few minutes of snooping, I'm usually like 'let me get back to the news or my hip hop shyt, anything but this'….I know I'm missing out on at least a handful of girls too, but all things considered, not a big deal. I swear whenever I do find some girl from back then on a friends, or whatever, 8/10 they have a kid. It's not a case of social media being inherently shallow and trivial, all those negative adjectives, but more how people use it, you can't say they at least 60% of people who are heavily on social media are on some bullshyt, bunch of '2nd Childhood' bytches and men, posting about the club and eating ordinary ass meals, I mean we all know a lot of people who are brink of economic ruin, but looking at the IG you'd think they were heiresses and shyt…
Also, a forum like this, or several other I know are much more discussion/topic based, conversations on music, movies, tv, politics, current events, and some bullshyt….whereas, much of social media (esp. at 25-35 age) is a lot of backslapping, platitudes, cliches, 'inspirational quotes' self congratulatory, humble bragging bullshyt, imo
