Hahaha Facebook is such a posting nazi. The other day, I tried to post a linked picture to my page, but after I posted it, the picture didn't show up, just the URL. So, I tried it again and Facebook decides to put this message up just because i didn't delete the other post first:

[ "Duplicate Status Update: This status update is identical to the last one you posted. Try posting something different, or delete your previous update." ]

It refused to let me post it until I actually deleted the previous one. So, if you were to say "How's everyone doing today?" in 2 different posts, in a row, that Duplicate Status Update message will come up. HAHAHA So stupid. so controlling. XD Is this supposed to stop people (or bots? o.O) from spamming the same ad over and over? For God's sake, all you would have to do is change 1 letter, 1 word or punctuation, or just don't do the same 2 posts in a row. And people wonder why I don't post more on Facebook; I don't need to be strong-armed or get a message saying "This better be relevant or it will be deleted" whenever posting on certain celebrity pages -- and truth be told, there's so many trolls in the comments section on any given day posting whatever they want, so what's the point of these paper-thin threats anyway?

UPDATE: 3/23/2017 Even Paris Berelc is feeling this same kind of lameness of over in the Twitterverse...

Then there's that douchey alert ever few days that says "Your group will be unpublished because it hasn't been active. Visit or update your page to keep it visible."

Oh and the "Suggested Pokes" section. How is that even a thing?! Seriously, go to your pokes and you'll see "Suggested Pokes".

While we're on the subject of Facebook, what's with this "Here's some people that you may know." Then when you try to add them as friends Facebook tells you to only add people you know. I'm like: Dude, you suggested this person! Make up your mind! Also, here's the million dollar question that I've been asking Facebook's help section for years: How does Facebook know who I know, if (1) I never gave Facebook my address, and (2) Facebook doesn't know who I know or don't know in real life? Years later, I'm still waiting on that answer. How does a site know who I know in real life? It tries to detect based on how many people are already on my friend list and where they live. So, if I were to friend request someone in say India it would say I don't know that person. Here's the question though: How does a computer site/program on the internet, know that I didn't meet this person when I was visiting India or in a college course in my country? You see? A stupid site can't know this. So, why perpitrate like you know something that you really don't?
