Because Facebook is a horrible tool for writing anything but a snarky one-liner, I have taken to crafting these time-wasting commentaries in a note app on my mobile devices. I started saving them. It seemed a sensible thing to do. If I invest so much of myself into writing them, why should they be no more than ephemeral bits, lost forever in Facebook&#8217;s black hole of a content system?<\/p>\n<p>It occurred to me that it has been a long time since I&#8217;ve blogged and it might be worthwhile to clean up and publish some of my Facebook commentaries on a blog.<\/p>\n<p>After going through the pain of setting up a self-hosted blog (incomplete as of this writing), I looked over my saved commentaries and realized I&#8217;m not comfortable presenting them as standalone articles. [sigh]<\/p>\n<p>So now what? I&#8217;ve been down the path of prostituting my personal life for Internet voyeurs and have little motivation to do so a second time, as well as being in a completely different frame of mind compared to then. I have a silly little tech blog on Blogger (a horrible product), but it&#8217;s more for reposting anti-tech tech articles I find around the web than for original content. I meant this blog to be my own original content, but not explicitly personal.<\/p>\n<p>I guess we&#8217;ll see what happens&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>EDIT (and note to the fucking jackasses at WordPress): This post was originally published at a completely different date i cannot recall. The shitty pile of fuck WordPress iOS app considered it a draft and re-published it, overwriting the original date. The date here is a guess, which had to be edited via the website, since the shitty pile of fuck WordPress iOS app has a shitty pile of fuck date editing mode with no control for the fucking year. WTF can&#8217;t any fucking developers be bothered to fucking test their shit and attend to details?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spending hours crafting a responses to random internet denizens&#8217; Facebook comments feels foolish, but I do it often enough.
