For the very few of you who may have been here before you might have actually viewed the overall “design” of this site and its navigation bar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second from the left in that nav is a less-than-clever link to fb<\/strong>. That used to be how I directed readers to my Facebook content. If you click that link now, you’ll probably see something that says “content unavailable right now.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That Facebook content is definitely unavailable right now and will be forever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a shitty reason for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 25, some miserable, loser 20-something \u2014 who I imagine is an obese, conceal carry permit wanna-be, sitting in a broken-down, single-wide trailer with a 2001 PT Cruiser with 2 flat tires parked in front, who, when not fantasizing about “being with” Marjorie Taylor Green, is hacking into progressive or otherwise enlightened Facebook users accounts on a beat up Dell laptop running Windows 7 using code he bought from a 15-year-old Russian on Telegram for !0,000 rupee or the equivalent of $125.99 \u2014 hacked into my Facebook account and posted horrific child porn there knowing or not knowing that within 5 minutes Facebook’s AI would disable my account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t already know this, once FB disables your account you have 30 days to “disagree” with their decision, which means that nobody will ever see your FB content again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, after waiting out those 30 days plus a few more in despair over losing 15 years of content and memories, I decided to start over, not to post regular life events and what I’m having for lunch, although I can’t not do some of that, but to try to stay connected to several dozen people from my entire long-ass life that I never would have known were still alive if it weren’t for Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So yeah, Facebook is addicting and an amazing resource to stay in touch with humans all over this blue marble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also fun and futile and full of ideology and idiocy and cats and conspiracies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first joined in 2007 people used to “throw sheep” and “poke” one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now they post child porn on your page because they don’t agree with you saying that we need reasonable gun reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know, to all this you say, “Who cares?” Well, I wrote all of the above so that you can know if I reached out to friend you, even if we were already FB friends, that I’m not a bot with like 2 friends<\/p>\n\n\n\n
