Joseph’s Blog – josephrodgers.com

I read a lot of blogs and The Art of Manliness is among my favorites. They post all kinds of articles on being a good man. They write some inspiring content, from treating a lady right to sartorial advice. Recently, however, they hit a nerve with me. Their recent article, Facebook Etiquette, linked to another website where the full article was posted.

The article is written by Brett McKay, mmmkay.My first thoughts were, “okay let’s hear what they have to say.” 

I’m gonna share some excerpts from the article, my thoughts will follow.

It should go without saying: gentlemen and ladies only use Facebook. 
MySpace is for cads and scallywags.

Are you fucking kidding me? Brett, you must really have your head up your ass. This makes as much sense as gentlemen and ladies only don’t use condoms. 

Use discretion when wall posting. 
Do not use Facebook’s wall to have entire conversations. You’ll look like a boob if you do…

This is one of my favorite past times. Entire conversations on a “friends” wall. Targeting said “friend” with anecdotes from the past. 

Keep photos of yourself to a minimum. 
Especially photos taken of yourself by yourself, by holding the camera away from your face. Gentleman and ladies are modest and discreet…

My best profile pics are self taken. This might be because I don’t have friends IRL or maybe because my “friends” don’t think I’m photo worthy. Some of my favorite Facebook “friends”* take the best pics in the mirror of themselves. 

Remove compromising photos of yourself. 
If you’re a true gentleman or lady, you shouldn’t have to worry about any incriminating photos of you winding up on Facebook…

This is like saying catholic priests do not touch boys. None of them, never. Or like saying “I don’t think Miley Cyrus is hot, not now, never.” Fact is that people do stupid shit and they should be held accountable. i think the author is hiding something or this is a desperate plea for someone to with hold blackmail content.

My Obvious Bropinion

This guy sounds like a real cheesedick for writing this. No, a fucking elitist cheesedick. He must have forgotten the main reason the internet was made, FOR PORN. I bet this asshole private browses so Kate doesn’t search his web history. Sack up Brett. Let us not forget the rules of the internet.

Rule 8. There are no real rules about posting

Rule 34. There is porn of it, no exceptions

Rule 20. Nothing is to be taken seriously

Rule 42. Nothing is sacred

Serious, fuck etiquette, have fun, post all kinds of shit. Facebook would be a boring shit hole without funny pics, prick comments, and lack of discretion. I think you will like The Art of Manliness but he’s wrong on this… because I’m right.

Comments Assholes?

WTF is Facebook Places?

If you update your iPhone Facebook app you will notice Places right smack dab in the middle of the login screen. Places is a location service for Facebook. In other words, it will probably track your every despicable move. Take a pic, add your location and time and direction you were facing when you snap the pic. Update status, it’ll add your location to a little map or some shit. Throw your fucking privacy right out the window. Cops used to have to get a warrant for this kind of shit and now Zuckerburg is pitching it as a good thing. 

Geeks

 Geeks love this shit. You know they cream over database management and this is a virtual datagasm. Quote me on that shit. But who will this affect besides geeks? 

Bros

Let’s just say you’re at a favorite “bookstore” shopping for said “flashlight” or “weight that shakes”. Let’s also say that Jenny from da Block writes something on your Facebook wall. *Jenny is a fine slampiece you’ve had your eye on* So you promptly reply and wham bam thank you ma’am your location is posted along with the reply. You are now screwed because Jenny can see you are in a “bookstore”. This is a prime example of how Places will harm Bros. On the other hand, let’s say Suzie updates her status “OMG So DrUnK WherE’S A DiCk tO Ride?” *Suzie, also a slampiece you’ve had your eye on* Her said status update has her location pinned to it. What is a Bro to do? Seek that sister out, obviously. 

This is obviously a big deal. All I can say is check your privacy settings and think about how loose you want them. One can only imagine, with a new Facebook rollout, they always turn settings on loose as hell. Protect yourself and think about your privacy. Facebook sure as fuck doesn’t value that shit, do you?
