Absolutely the biggest form of hyperbole I've ever seen in my entire life, bar none.

Seriously though, some people use FB sparingly once or twice a day. Some people actually make money from FB or use it for marketing.

There are a lot of people that get more out of it than making snarky election posts.

Cool story. I use fb for marketing too. Who can't? Stop giving them your life story. It's not smart.
We get it, you don't use Facebook.

I personally love Facebook. I keep in touch with family I can't see often. They get to see my daughter as if they live near us.

I've engaged with people I would have never engaged with all because we have mutual friends, and end up growing friendships out of it.

I get to share things I find interesting, my thoughts, my feelings. I get to see a deeper side of my family and friends whom also do the same.

Look if your family and friends suck and all you see is "I had a bologna sandwich today" repeatedly, or that's all you can contribute, than take a look at your life and choice of peers, because using Facebook or not doesn't make or break them.

I came off as a jerk. Was cranky as all hell last night. Fb is actually a great way to keep in contact with your family and friends.
