This happens a lot to an old friend of mine from Canada who passed away at 43 (Breast Cancer)
Every year since then there are 10+ people commenting on her page wishing her a “Happy Birthday”.
I feel bad for her husband and kids because it must feel quite bad for them.
Has Facebook changed their memorial process? Seems like it’s still a thing. At least as early as 6 years ago they had a way for people to request to change a page to a memorial. If it’s painful for you on the first anniversary, you’d think by the second you’d change it.
Interesting. I have never seen such a page yet in FB.
I have only had two friends pass away so far due to illness so its possible its too small a sub-set for their SOs to make such a change.
This is what I was getting at.
I have designated my mother as my memorialization person (someone designated to tell Facebook I’m dead) but I’ve never seen anyone else’s page memorialized. Ever.
Does Facebook know they are dead?
I wonder if mark Zuckerberg has ever seen the sixth sense
I don’t know. I’ve reported people as being dead (including an obituary to prove they are dead and I’m not some jerk pulling a prank) and they don’t do anything about it. Including my stepfather. Who is listed as my stepfather on my feed (which we both have to accept in order to happen). So they seem to not GAF even when they do know.
So there’s no way to tell that Facebook knows they are dead. I’ve reported my stepfather as dead probably 30 times now over a span of 10 years and his page is indistinguishable from when he was alive.
“Memorialization” wasn’t a thing that existed when he died. I guess no one actually died prior to Mark Zuckerberg’s declaration that “hey, fun fact, sometimes people die”.
But I know of at least one person who died having designated his wife as his memorializatiob person and she can’t get them to memorialize his page.
Death only became a thing in version 4.0. /s
My adult daughter’s godmother died many years ago, like over 10. My wife got a friend suggestion (I think that’s the right wording) for her yesterday.
Yes, I’ve gotten those for people who I know to be dead.
MIL wrote a long rant about how dare those Democrats call her Social Security an entitlement. It’s not an entitlement, how dare they say she’s entitled, Social Security is a scam but she paid in (she hasn’t worked in 31 years) and it’s her money, NOT AN ENTITLEMENT!!!
Anyway my MIL doesn’t know what an “entitlement” is.
Yes, I’ve seen those rants on Facebook too.
I used a friend-of-a-friend for a few under-the-table handyman jobs around our house. After a couple ehhh jobs, he did a pretty shoddy job on something and we decided we’d quietly not hire the guy anymore.
Just saw him promoting his new official handyman business on Facebook and showing off some plumbing that he’d done.
People in the comments were eviscerating him for using “sharkbite fittings” and saying it makes sense he’s cheaper than others, that the work is going to leak, etc.
We should have cut the guy off sooner, but glad to see we made a good choice.
Sharkbites are an example of technology taking over. My dad and I have been using them for twenty years and have no had issues with any of them. As with anything - proper technique must be used when setting them
Plumbers hate them because a handyman can easily install bathroom fixtures without having to subcontract any work out to them. Less food on their table
Yep, sharkbite meets code. It actually meets code for below grade, you can bury it. The pros dont use them, but they should.
Eh, I can accept that, but the guy was moderately unprofessional toward us. We’re not hiring him again.
We’re still waiting on him to finish a fall project that he just didn’t get done in time, so is doing in the spring. One of his projects was definitely done more cheaply than most would charge, but a few of the boards are a little incorrectly spaced, something already broke and he fixed it, just a few things wrong here and there. This spring he’s also obligated to replace something that we told him needed to be secured, he never secured it, eventually said he’d also do that in the spring, and it broke this winter due to being unsecured.
But I’ll concede I don’t know shit about plumbing.
Sharkbite fittings don’t leak. Perfectly cromulent. No commentary intended on your former handyman. And I hate plumbing, fwiw.
I’m getting all sorts of bread and sourdough themed posts.
Sorry, but Daddy ain’t got time for “bassinage” and autolyzing and x:y:z ratios and flaps and folds and 
!!! Sourdough is just too much work.
