This is a question Social Media Meltdowns

Ever said something you've regretted on the internet? Seen somebody make an arse of themselves? Know somebody who posts first and asks questions later? Dob them in to us, the internet police. (We last did this five years ago before Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook really took off, so now's the time for an update)

Thanks to Benny Blanco from the Bronx for the suggestion

He could write some sort of script for this, which would just loop back to the start after posting one line per week.
It'd give him more time with his kids.

It's true
at first I found his regular public revelations sad but hilarious, like watching a mexican soap opera via twitter updates. Now it just seems sad and repetitive, like watching mexican soap opera reruns via twitter updates

Facebook is a load of old shit if you have the wrong people on there.
I might be regarded as some kind of heartless cunt for this, but a while back I unfriended someone from work who, to be honest, I didn't speak to too much and I suspected of being one of these friend collectors (working in a shop with 200+ employees, over half of which had been added). She lost her baby late in her pregnancy, and thereafter followed twenty or more status updates EVERY FUCKING DAY for the first six months, covering everything from repeated invites to sign up for various WIV DA ANGLES pages and going on about how she could see no point in living any longer. Don't know how many years she kept it up for because I lost patience with it after the first six months as every else's posts were being buried under an avalanche of this shit.

I had every sympathy with her, although I've never lost a child and hope to never experience it either, it must be one of the most devastating things anyone could ever go through. But for fuck's sake, if her life was anything like her social media updates, she'd given up anything and everything else and was devoting herself purely to very, VERY public grief, talking about how beautiful her unborn baby had been and how nothing else in the world (for everyone else too, not just her) had any meaning now.

tl;dr Girl feels sorry for self in public for ever and ever, gets unfriended

I know how you feel
I told some guy whose child had just died to grow a pair, too.

To grow a pair of children?
In pots, in the greenhouse?

You're one of THEM, aren't you?

About 125 of those are part time, some do as little as 6 hours a week in a store that's open for about 85.
