Insulting

I’ll admit, I’m terrible about talking on the phone. I just don’t like to do it. My friends, and my mother in particular, are always giving me a hard time about it, which is fair. I should call them more. I’m sorry!

But still, it’s always so insulting when I do speak to my mom on the phone and she makes a point to ask me if there are any major developments in my and Eric’s relationship that she should know about– clearly implying that if some kind of major event WERE to occur, she wouldn’t even know about it. Which is just insane.

She’d obviously see it on Facebook.

Kid (to other kid): “It was the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me and my mom took a photo but thank god she did NOT put it on Facebook.”

Facebook is Making a “Dislike” Button

I kind of hate this idea. I see only negativity coming from it.

I understand, as Zuckerberg states, the desire to make a button people can click in reaction to a sad or emotional post, but how about a “sympathy/empathy” button rather than “dislike”? I don’t know about you, but I think I’d feel even more uncomfortable hitting a “dislike” button on a post about a family member’s illness/death than I would hitting a “like” button (which people currently do, not because they actually “like” it, but to show sympathy….which at this point I think is pretty universally understood).

I mean, don’t get me wrong– I am SUPER excited to start disliking photos of cats.

But I think that’s exactly the problem….
