"See more memories"... indeed.
ADDED: I know it's only fake caring, but can't they figure out how to limit "my memories" to actual personal activities by me? Or... what am I saying?! It's better that they can't, that the fake looks plainly fake.

Facebook, doing its usual thing, oblivious to the substance of the objects of its algorithms, serves up the phantom of a "memory" about nothing but memory.
"See more memories"... indeed.

I'm about to leave Facebook. I violate their terms on a regular basis (whatever they are) and ain't in the mood for being regulated by faceless assholes without warning.
I'd say being weird is their "regular thing".
Leather Whips, Rubber Underwear, Painful Memories of You
Hog Whitman single.
If people would just write things down instead of saying them, Facebook would have way more of you to remember.
Facebook - Taking the person out of personal.
True dat, about not caring, but it’s more about paying attention in the first place than memory I think.
But Ann... I can call you Ann, right, like Facebook does? Facebook cares about you. Doesn't that give you comfort? They care! About little old you!
I get those things everyday. More important is an ad that Medtronic, the pacemaker company posted there this weekend that said they are striving for more "Diversity and inclusiveness." I commented that it was more important that the pacemakers worked. My comment, of course, disappeared next time the ad popped up.
Bridges are collapsing and diversity is not the only purpose of things.
You mean all those political solicitations I get that begin with using my first name means they care? Who knew? I thought they just wanted money!
Right you were, though. I've long thought people who say they are "bad with names" really don't give a shit.
"... the fake looks plainly fake."
Are you supposed to notice that?
That's a problem with a lot of these public platforms (TV, Facebag, etc): They can't help continually insulting your intelligence. Gets tiresome after a while.
Separately, I confess: I'm bad with names, and I really don't give a shit. I would have been a terrible salesman.
If I want people to remember my name, I make them care.
What's bad is when you have a good to great memory, yet you don't recall something important to a friend or a partner. If they're paying close attention, they will know it did not make as much of an impression on you as it did on them.
Mark Twain: A poor memory is God's way of letting us think well of ourselvrs.
Remembering someone's name is not only effort but it also requires an innate ability that recognizes language as an important component to reality when in fact all language is artificial fake abstract. Those of us who think visually and in multiple dimensions I have extreme difficulty remembering people's names. so when you meet someone new you have to decide what do you want to do do you want to listen to what they are saying or do you want to try to beat their name into your head and ignore what they're saying. I choose to listen to what they're saying and then ask them their name over and over again at breaks in the conversation explaining that I'm a fucking idiot. People seem to appreciate the honesty.
Social media platforms don't care and they don't forget. Profit.
These companies are not creepy monopolies. Facebook knows only what you share with friends, google what else you do online and Amazon what you say when you’re not online. Only the NSA knows all and connect the dots, unless you use Huawei 5G. If the NSA would post helpful reminders like that, so that we don’t forget a loved one’s birthday or important anniversary, most of us would probably agree to their EULA.
If I'm introduced to a slew of people all at once I'm not apt to remember their names.
I honestly wish RBG the best and hope that she is comfortable.
Anyone who was a friend of Antonin Scalia can't be all bad, not that I think anyone seriously believes that about her.
"All bad" people do exist, and are extremely dangerous, but fortunately they are rare.
That is just about a perfect example of FB being FB.
