Facebook Paradox

The paradox you find yourself in when you want to up-vote a social media item that has a sad or negative subject. . You merely want to bring the post to attention of your social network but you question whether someone will misunderstand why you are clicking "like/+1/thumb-up/up-vote/etc"
I struggle with the Facebook Paradox. do I click LIKE to share this news feed item, "'Clumsy the Clown' tragically falls from balcony to his death at children's birthday party." Why isn't there a DISLIKE button? Or a button for MEH?

Facebook Syphilis

A chronic cognitive impairment that is contracted chiefly by infection during unprotected use of Facebook. As the Facebook core demographic drifts older and to the right: the toxic memes and viral bullshit on your feed will fry your brain like a Sunday walk through Chernobyl.

Like regular Syphilis, those infected should expect to have their brains turn into swiss cheese.

There is no known cure.
My dad will not stop talking about how 5g can communicate with the COVID vaccine. I think he has Facebook Syphilis.

Facebook

Facebook is that shit that all those youngeons use nowadays to post up a bunch of shit about how “Crooked” Hillary Clinton is awesome or about the next (insert town name here)’s Mom’s Meetup! Back in the good old days we read a book if we were bored. Actually back in the good old days we stared at the fucking wall and watched that paint dry. I just hate how much fun and entertainment there is now. Unfortunately, this generation is as fucked as a hooker in Vegas!

Person 1: "I saw Sarah today, did you go to her babyshower?"
Person 2: "Sarah from high school? No we're Facebook formal, I saw pictures though."

Facebook

Once the biggest kingdom on the internet, now it’s a wasteland full of 40 year old single mothers; monster energy zero ultra sippers; jokes about phone bad, book good; antivaxxers.
Mufasa: One day, everything you can see infront of you will be all yours!

Simba: Everything? And what’s dark, shadowy place?

Mufasa: That’s facebook! You must never go there Simba!
