A brethren of mine said it perfectly

[malaise]

All of Facebook's infectious disease experts suddenly became military strategists.

[MLAA]

1. Good one, and so true!

[EYESORE 9001]

2. They're experts on foreign policy too

Plus any other topic you care to bring up. How they managed to go through life without getting snapped up by recruiters for positions of high importance, I’ll never know.

[malaise]

5. Yep

[SheltieLover]

3. Dunno how folks can stomach FB.

[malaise]

6. Never joined

Thankfully

[SheltieLover]

7. Me either.

It was patently obvious to me it is nothing but a huge data mining nightmare.

[samplegirl]

11. I use mine for

some private groups I belong to.
Also a few friends that I connect with that are in New Zealand and Australia.
I would mis it for that.

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. Well, if nothing else...

it has allowed me to stay in touch with several dozen wonderful people who used to post on DU but no longer do for various reasons.

It's also facilitated finding a few old mates from 50 years ago, so there is that.

Facebook is what you make of it.

[pazzyanne]

10. + 1 nt

[HUAJIAO]

9. I use it every day professionally staying in touch with the

classical, particularly the percussion, world; and with distant friends.


I have never once seen a right wing post...

Of course I know they are out there..... just not my world on FB at all..

[marble falls]

14. Me, either. It's the only way my eldest daughter communicates. So I have an account ...

... just to see my grandkids. Fake name, fake information, no friends, no responses, and I use duckduckgo's 'Facebook Container' to keep FB out of my life as well as possible.

[Skittles]

25. it is sickening how many people were absorbed into the FB Borg

[Soph0571]

4. Inevitable! LOL n/t

[marble falls]

12. Coincidently, equally inept in both functions.

[malaise]

13. All three

EYESORE 9001 added foreign policy

[marble falls]

15. All around ineptness. Bet they can't peel a Mango!

[PatSeg]

16. Oh, I'm borrowing that!!!

[malaise]

20. All yours

[FreepFryer]

17. Brethren is plural, thats like saying " a brothers of mine " :)

Grammar aside, keep on keepin on malaise

[zuul]

18. Thank you. That drives me nuts.

[malaise]

19. Brethren is as Jamaican as

Bob Marley or a spliff Wah 'appening brethren?

[FreepFryer]

22. When you having us over for a Barbeque?

Never been to Jamaica but now that I got a brethren there...

[FreepFryer]

23. Ps in that usage it's much like "y'all" when used to refer to one person. Gotcha (Nt)

[malaise]

24. Correct

[MineralMan]

21. They're experts on everything, though, you see.

[Blue Owl]

26. It's a MagaMiracle!

Clearly the LORD has blessed them with omniscient powers….

[dalton99a]

27. Yep.
