STUNNING!

Pay it forward, people!

They are obviously not pay-it-forward-people.

Yeah I haven’t looked lately, but I am a “like” slut… I give it up for everyone. But since I’m one of the most liking posters, I don’t get as many likes because I don’t / can’t / wouldn’t like my own posts.

Meanwhile the posters who don’t give out the likes don’t have that problem.

I’m almost at parity, I need to hit that like button a little bit more.

I seem to get likes in waves. So I must have cyclical periods of being interesting or funny, followed by intense periods of boredom. I’m in a good place this week, it seems.

How about adding a Hate button? Or emoji response like on Discord?

So . . . is the expectation that everyone should be “like givers” even if they’re not inclined that way?

I think I used to be #1 in likes received. Clearly I need to step up my game.

ETA: Confirmed. Steve White has 700 more likes received than I do over the past year.

Perhaps if you went and unliked all those posts of his that you liked . . .

Or you could just Spam Funny and SFW, Political Humor and Political Truths with Facebook memes like I do. Some of them get liked, and I don’t get negative likes for those that bomb. Pro tip: one meme per post increases like count.

A month ago I got a save the date card for a wedding. It was for my daughter’s high school bff. I thought, “how sweet,” and left it for later.

Today is later. I see that the wedding is a couple states away, where Mr aj has some family. Then I look up the town and it’s really close to his family. I see that one of the groomsmen is a kid of one of Mr aj’s cousins. Small community and all. Then I text my daughter to see if she’s going and she says, “I really don’t know her well.” It’s only then that I realize the bride to be just happens to have the same first name as my daughter’s bff, but she is actually another cousin.

To be fair, Hubby has I think 17 cousins on that side of the family and I don’t know any of them well. And now their kids are getting married…

Eta: the friend and the cousin have the same hair color, the pic doesn’t show her face, and the couple’s last names are neither on the card nor the website.

Not an expectation, just an interesting observation.

You actually can’t… after a certain length of time has elapsed the software won’t let you retract a “like”.

In theory you could make a post that tons of people like, wait out the requisite time period, and then change it to something horrible like “Hitler had the right idea” or something and it would look like everyone had liked that. I assume the mods would kill such a post and hand out infractions or bans or something. And in the meantime we’d be able to see that the post was edited. But still…

You might look at ArthurIta’s post that I was responding to and the various counts in NerdAlert’s post to see what I was actually getting at.

I would’ve used red font, but I ran out of red ink and the manufacturer says that it’s on indefinite back order due to China hording it all to send to Russia.

I knew what you were responding to / knew you weren’t serious.

Post reported

Consider the previous post red.

Also, read.

Well actually…

Why don’t you just go and report this post, hug, funny guy?!?!

I don’t know about you, but I don’t hug posts. Or other inanimate objects. Mainly just people. Occasionally an animal.
