If he carries a frying pan around he can also cast iron

Honestly, you’re too young to be burning yourself up on someone who, by your own words, doesn’t think your feelings matter. Expecting you to walk on eggshells for her feelings while while teasing you about yours is manipulation, and that’s just red flag one. You’re bullet list isn’t conflicts, it’s abuse and manipulation.

I’ve been right where you’re at man. It DOES get better, it just probably not with her. She is not your responsibility. YOU are your responsibility right now. You’re 23, your life is just getting started. Make a fresh start and give yourself some time to work on yourself and heal. It’s advice I wish someone would have given me.

100% agree. I’ve been shocked at what seems like extreme naivety or willful ignorance in some of the discussions on federating with corps. Corps only want profit. People are the product at meta. They just want more product.

There’s either a streak of loud and stupid that started up when the NDAs came to light or some of these “Facebook would never do anything bad” people are suspicious af.

Because it is literally in the playbook.

I don’t see how you can reconcile Facebook is both “hugely destructive” but their algorithm “isn’t as damaging”? Like…what?

Just betting on FACEBOOK to do the right thing is laughable. Sorry if that’s harsh but damn man, where have you been the last…decade?
