    @DougNg:

    Facebook has turned into a giant pain in my ass. What started out as a way to stay in the loop with friends I don't talk to very often has turned into work.

    For the record, I pretty much don't care what beliefs people have, but I get really aggravated when I see uninformed opinions or a repost of something that was supposed to be clever but factually wrong.

    Now every time I go on Facebook, I have to unfriend a person or two when they post something they haven't fact checked first. Seriously, I know you have a smart phone in your pocket, it's not that hard to fact check…

    But now there are alternative facts right? It’s make you’re own reality out there.

    Maybe so. Maybe not

      I think it has always been "make your own reality", there was just a more centralized control of the narrative that guided us to our views. Now everything is so diffuse, but it's all pretty loud. Add the supposed universal access to education and information that is mediocre at best, and actively misleading and/or revisionist at worst, and we've got an undereducated populace that feels like they're smart and informed. It's a perfect shitstorm, of which facebook is the prevailing wind.

                Update to my previous rants….

                eBay has indeed screwed me out of over £200 for what was a perfectly good phone.

                After “negotiations “ at work it seems that I will definitely need to find other gainful employment, or stay where I am but demoted and with any progression path removed.

                I think i’ll be taking some strategic sick days soon to update my CV and begin the job hunt  😢

                  That sucks, Gav, sorry to hear that.  Maybe some new avenues will open up for you though…

                        It’s all good mate, I have the “luxury” of still working whilst I look for what I want to do next. There are many people who aren’t so lucky.
