Facebook is the biggest waste of time, because everyone is just presenting such a filtered picture of themselves. You only put up your best pictures. People only check in when they are at the fanciest restaurant in the city. They only keep things up there that are flattering to themselves. I just think it’s like keeping up with the Joneses, but for life. You’re never going to get on top of it. Someone’s always going to have a better job than you, go on better vacations than you, have a better looking wife than you, or whatever it is. So, it’s superficiality on top of superficiality. You never get to see the real parts of people.
