I have control over what day of the week is.
I'm talking more about the people in Seattle who are all, "grumble, grumble, it's raining...ugh...and it's Monday, ugh...grumble....."Quote:

Complain and whine about that which you have control over, accept that which you do not.
And I have nothing by sympathy and compassion for people with real, clinical depression and mental illness. That's no joke, and I'll listen to them and anything they need to talk about with an open ear an heart any time. I've had far too many friends commit suicide to not take that seriously.
It honestly was a beautiful day today. I wanted to run away from work, pack some water and trail mix, and hike a mountain. This isn't an expression. I was seriously debating the ramifications of quitting my job to do this.Quote:

No. Complaining about things you can't control makes no sense because there is no point in complaining - it's not going to do any good. It's Monday, and it's raining. Deal with it. If you're really tired, tell me about it, and then take a nap. Or if you're hungry, and whine, "Man, I'm really hungry dude." Go make a sandwich. Mission accomplished, son.
but hunger is something you can control. are you saying you shouldn't ever complain about anything?
I don't see the logic. We complain about the government, corporate monopolies, and/or the quality of music on the radio, even though these things are beyond our immediate control. Also, all we do here is complain about the substance of films that we personally have no editorial control over.
Go ahead, complain about the weather and the day of the week if you makes you feel better. Just don't do it to me.
;)
D_Davis is complaining about how annoying it is that people complain.
I am simply stating a fact. Like, "Today is Monday," or "It is raining," or "I am a viking at stating facts."Quote:

Come now, Syco.
I think that's a couple I'd no longer have much interest in spending time with.Quote:

Headphones, man. You don't even have to listen to anything. They'll never know.Quote:

Depends on the use... my g/f's sister and her husband have a joint account, but that's because none of them really use it regularly like most people, and just connect with others as a couple, post photos etc. instead. They rarely comment on random crap or post links and such.Quote:

I mean, you think it's "April" typing, but there's no proof.
It's really nowhere near as annoying as couples who have separate accounts, but use the exact same profile picture for both.
That's the only real problem with it.Quote:

Keep in mind, I don't know one couple who shares an account or a blog-- I know twenty couples. It magnifies the annoyance.
The Facebook status updates are coming from inside the house!Quote:

When someone doesn't need a separate account for their individual needs, they must prefer other means of communication, simple as that. I have several friends who haven't joined Facebook yet, despite peer pressure, and while we don't keep in touch as much as I'd like, it's their choice and I think they're happy with it.Quote:
