I've been wondering: Isn't facebook pretty damn close to a monopoly? I haven't heard of anyone legitimately having a MySpace or anything for like, years. It's always facebook.

MySpace has pretty much turned into a tool for small-time bands.

Meh, screw these "social network" sites. Just block the websites and be done with them. Only evil can come from such abominations.
If I want to keep contact with the people I call them, send email or hop on the next train. /hipster

It's a sad state of affairs when doing that is hipster :\

[Criptfeind]

Not really hipster.

[kaijyuu]

Anti mainstream?
Anti conformist?
Sounds hipster to me!

Though tbh that's another word that lost all meaning, if it had meaning in the first place.

I'm fine being completely antisocial and not having a Facebook.

Fixed that for me.

[Criptfeind]

Other then tons of people feel the exact same thing.

[kaijyuu]

There are tons of hipsters.

[Criptfeind]

But not because it is anti mainstream or anti conformist.

You'll have to give me your definition of hipster, then. 'Cause it's not the same as mine.

Mine comes from TvTropes, also known as the most reliable source for everything ever:

hipsters (if such a thing can even be found as no one seems willing to call themselves by this name) view themselves as intellectuals who reject the mainstream and carefully define their own identities

Sort of the ubermensch of culture. Which doesn't sound that bad to me, tbh.

Then someone pulls a reductio ad Hitlerum out of his arse and it might even be on-topic...

Being a hipster is too mainstream for me 

Also,

The problem with being a special snowflake nonconformist is that everyone else is, too. You're always the most intelligent, unique person when within the confines of your mind.

... So I'm the opposite of a hipster for knowing I can be a total idiot like eighty percent of the time?

Loud Whisper: FB ask for your phone number, but you don't have to give it to them. This being facebook, the button to not give it is small and hidde in a corner, but you don't. I've got crappy e-mail I only use for registering on website, so I don't care if they spam that account to death, and even if you're supposed to give your real name doesn't mean they have any way to enforce that.

And my friends aren't douchebags, so they don't put up my info.
