So I now have explicit permission to write whatever I want here - which means I could very well discuss my plans for world domination... But alas, if they were to be written on an open site, they would be preventable. So therefore, there are still some things that should be kept secret. Shh!
Now the only hard part is figuring out exactly what to write, as I have a large range of likes. I guess today I'll start with something that bugs me though, and maybe a lot of people out there: Facebook Birthday Reminders!
That's right - I dislike the birthday reminders with a passion. Sure, it's fine when it's a good friend and all, but you eventually accumulate enough friends where you get reminders several times a week. And not just through the Facebook website or app, but you get bombarded via smartphone reminders, texts, and even Windows 8 will give you a notification saying, "Hey you! Get off your ass and say 'Happeh Birthdeh'!"
I wish the world at times wasn't so connected, or rather you have full control over your connection. It's not too cool to "unfriend" someone just because of the BD reminders (though the damn game invitations could be grounds for murder...), but you are almost forced into the wishing them a Happy BD or else they get upset. That type of connected is what drives me crazy. Hell, I don't follow it most of the time anyway, as I get on Facebook probably once or twice a month, but in the end society is tied in a large knot.
At the end of the day, if people weren't so picky about who says Happy BD online to everyone, and were instead just themselves online, the internet would be a much better place!
