Congratulations, this is the smartest reply in the entire thread. Do you have your cabin in the woods selected yet?

That's not surprising

You either need to be smart or sociable to make it in life, the really successful people are both.

Great. Just what we need.

This just gives people who claim to be "introverts" more ammo.

Dammit, SFP!

Yep. Not claiming personally to be super smart, but the reason I don't do facebook is it seems mostly idol chit chat, and things that don't interest the person receiving the information.

There are better ways without getting caught up in the clutter.

In fairness, they may be legitimately introverted but that doesn't necessarily make them "intelligent"

Ahh, the "LEEROY JENKINS"es of the world. Quiet until it's time to unleash catastrophic ineptitude.

Only social media I use is Instagram.

And I only do it for the FitTea and teeth whitening advertisers

I would have to shoot myself if I only talked to my family and didn't have casual friends or acquaintances to meet up with at the bar every now and then.
