That was about version 4 or 5.

The original SFP had people trying to fight him b/c of posts on message boards.

That 2008-era SFP had a completely different rep...but it also had an insecure media personality fixate on SFP instead of his own issues, and he tried to turn the actual person into SFP and it failed hilariously for him

IMO it has to do with this current generation being the first where social media has been fully integrated in their lives from start to finish.

That's what I'm saying. I'm saying that problem is b/c their parents got sucked in at an older age and due to their older age, had no real idea what they were doing. Like I've been on some form of SM or proto-SM (like aim chat) since the mid-90s. I saw all the toxicity and insanity years before Facebook was created, so I had a FOR as to what was going on.

These people got dropped into a much more advanced algorithm of dopamine triggering at an age past brain crystalization, and they had no shot. Then they raised kids in the worst way possible relating to SM, and now we have a generation who grew up with their brains completely molded by SM since they were toddlers. Like these kids have literally had algorithm-influenced screens building their brains their entire developmental lives.

Sounds like she's pissed that he posted a pic of her without her war paint on and showing off that she's a slob.

It's deeper than that though. Social media will be the ruin of the country IMO. It won't happen for a while, because these kids growing up surrounded by it now won't be in positions of power for a while. But eventually the old school lines of thinking will phase out and the social media generations will take over. And most likely, it's gonna suck.

And sure, some kids will grow out of it and grow up and recognize whta is important and what isn't. But shite like the OP will continue to trend upward until it's the majority. IMO at least.



Gotta agree... They are the ones marching in the streets now.. Voting because Orange Man Bad... Half of these kids couldn;t tell you the capitol of Texas, yet want to tell you who to vote for and how we need to defund police.

Fill your kids’ time with enjoyable physical activities and in-person socialization from a young age. I have a 5 year old and we already have him in jujitsu, soccer, and cub scouts. If we have a free weekend day (hardly ever), we plan a hike, picnic, playground, or outdoor activities at home. My theory is that if you give them your time and substantive stimulation, they will not be so inclined to lose themselves in things like social media. Social media is quite boring in comparison to just about anything. Parents are just dropping the ball on raising kids who know how to physically play and enjoy themselves.

You see, legend has it, ole Jake here ruined the engagement of one of BR's finest sports personalities after some pics surfaced of a young SFP and the bride to be on TD.

Good times. I wish I could remember my original handle back then. Would be awesome to go back and see some of those threads.

Well yeah, i hate taking pictures and am off those social media sites now. I never really understood the need to have hundreds or thousands of pictures of yourself, all generally the same.

I always just had a few i posted and the rest were shite people tagged me in. Maybe id have a pic of my dog too, but thats it.


If my girl never posted pictures of me, id like her more.

My wife made the comment that I post more pictures of me with my dog than me with her. I said well my dog takes an active interest in everything I do so she's around for pictures. She (my wife) didn't think that was funny.

Exactly.

She has created a facade that her self worth is attached to and her boyfriend inadvertently exposed something genuine and she does not know how to deal.

So of course she then bares her thoughts to reddit.

Cauble's fantasies

Me and Blondie (and others) hanging out IRL wasn't a secret then. Cauble took a pic from her phone on here like it was some scandal. He also failed to post the other pictures from that night where other posters were in the booth at Happy's.

He also is blind and couldn't see that I had eyes for another LLOTOT at that time and that Blondie did not have eyes for me.

What do you mean created? People have always been self-centered. Social media only exposed it.

Follow some fitness-based SM accounts and you’ll quickly see it isn’t remotely just women.

This is one thing that legitimately crossed genders.

Yep. She's ugly and a funky monkey and doesn't want people to know the real her. Only the filtered and curated version of her life that the gram sees.
