Every time I attempt to either like, comment, or share something on Facebook, this is the friendly message I get. What really burns me is that the idiots continue reminding me of important dates, like my friends birthdays, but when I try to wish one of them a happy birthday I get one of these. If Facebook were a country, it would be the third most populous one in the world. And, depending on the source, the social media site's current market value is pegged at anywhere from $250 to $300 billion. And yet this massive corporate entity does not provide anything in the way of customer service that involves talking to a human being. It simply does not exist. Which begs the question of why don't they offer live customer service? It isn't as though they can't afford it. Hell, Zuckerberg could buy the Philippines and put the entire population to work providing customer assistance to Facebook users. And if Manila isn't interested, I'm reasonably certain he could find another developing country that would be more than happy to be acquired.
My mama always told me that if life gives you lemons, then you make lemonade. So, I am going to use their stupid messages as motivation to update my blog every day. A countdown, if you will. As I know from past experience, it is a whole lot easier updating my status on Facebook than it is trying to update my blog. Most everything requires a lot more effort with the blog. Instead of just clicking "share" on a story I want to share my thoughts on, I now have to use a hyperlink. And if I want to share a video on this page, I have to actually embed it using HTML. Earlier today, I came across a video on Facebook of an 18-year-old Rafael "Ted" Cruz sitting astride a bicycle and answering the question of what he wanted to do with his life. What he had to say is revealing, to put it mildly. Maybe we are comparing the wrong GOP presidential candidate to Hitler. The thought of a Cruz presidency is positively terrifying, whereas a Trump presidency would likely be more embarrassing than apocalyptic. Here is the video:
