I don't see any of these problems and my daughter is 18 and has grown up with every bit of technology I can supply for her. I've used this line forever. "you know it's just the internet, right?" In fact her group has slowly gotten away from posting anything at all.
I do however see it in a lot of Facebook junkies who think they are somehow a movie star or something. Too narcissistic to see the reality that really nobody cares except you. Heck I missed a family birthday party because the whole thing was done on Facebook and we don't use it. It was lame party anyway.
I love technology and everything it offers. Use it wisely grasshopper.
Park Ranger ran me out two weeks ago. He said "the bank is unstable". I said, "Yeah it's a river bank, they are all unstable"
He said "Whatever, get out".
Money and vanity. Get rid of these two and you are on your way to a better system.
Just like these people that treat their Facebook posts like they are a movie star or something. As if that is worth anything.
I don't think anyone actually said "ratty". I would call it seasoned, like good firewood.
I'd have to tell the story of almost burning down a rental house I was in for a while. Now that deck was ratty and more like kindling.
