- Facebook is foreplay. Facebook facilitates adultery and infidelity generally. Facebook gives you the means, the excuse and the cover to communicate with people you have no reason, no business, to talk to. Their day-to-day life has nothing to do with yours — not anymore, anyway. In many cases, perhaps the majority of cases, you follow and chat with this individual because you remember him or her fondly, as he or she might remember you; the memories are from a simpler time in your lives, when you were in college, or high school, when maybe you had a lot more sex, and when nervous possibility was in the air. (You’re probably remembering it with more fondness than it merits.) Your life was about going to class, and smoking weed, and working a crappy part-time job with no real responsibilities so that you’d have enough money to afford frivolous, enjoyable garbage.
My ex was not yet officially divorced from her husband when we started. It wasn't all skeezy and cheating. I mentioned Facebook leaving a record that she might not need. And she went apeshit. Months later it was more like "Oh shit. Facebook! You could get me in trouble!" She's an odd bird This is not a good or valuable comment. I'm just salty and wanted to vent
When you reward the city and punish the country you're basically asking for the country to rise up and smite you. Creating an underclass that has no handles into the society you're raising up is the fastest way to get an uprising. I know you said "the minority are ostracized" but it never works out that way. There's always a small enough faction that's pushed hard enough that a large enough faction that's pushed a little signs on. Before too long the government has decamped to Formosa.
But for the pleasure indoctrination to be effective, you need the same kind of information gathering proposed by Orwell. So the existence of a Brave New World like subversion through the exploitation of human tendencies already presupposes you have a kind of Orwellian network in place.
No. You just need to be familiar with the stories. The people in Brave New World don't accept their reality bec they were born into it the way 1984 characters were. Blending the two is like marrying rape with fratricide. No one asked for it. No one likes it. Just listen to this because it's fucked up
I guess I need to find a relationship so I can use Facebook to find somebody else to fuck, then. This article makes me feel more confident in my choice not to reconnect with the married-ex-high-school-boyfriend who came sniffing through my DMs not-that-long-ago-or-that-recently. I didn't really need the boost but I don't mind it. I mean, literally this whole paragraph: lil Their day-to-day life has nothing to do with yours — not anymore, anyway. In many cases, perhaps the majority of cases, you follow and chat with this individual because you remember him or her fondly, as he or she might remember you; the memories are from a simpler time in your lives, when you were in college, or high school, when maybe you had a lot more sex, and when nervous possibility was in the air.
