It’s fascinating how vastly different people act in real life versus online. It’s like all our normal emotions, reactions,
136085 070 Air Jordan 1 Retro Black Metallic Gold(18), and desires are blasted through the dick end of a fire hose nothing filtered, nothing held back,
136001 016 Nike Air Jordan 12 Playoffs Black White Varsity Red(30), the pressure cranked up to Rambo washing levels. It’s no secret what causes it: Eye to eye, personal contact is the wall that holds back 90 percent of our worst impulses (even on the phone,
378037 117 Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue White Black Legend Blue(81), there’s a voice connection that can convey tone,
616175 401 Nike Lebron 11 Gamma Blue Armory Slate Gamma Blue Light Armory Blue(16), reminding you that the droning idiot on the other end is an actual human). But remove that contact while keeping the ability to communicate, and we just turn into ridiculous children.

5. We Now Have Disposable (And Fragile) FriendsI am fortunate enough to have a diverse range of friends in my life. I have frequently sat in rooms full of Christians and atheists, democrats and republicans, and people from each side of every major issue you could dream up. We’ve spoken peacefully and respectfully. We have also had heated arguments that needed to be broken up before someone got stabbed with their own shoe. But we never let our specific beliefs dictate our bonds because there are enough traits that overlap to hold us together. That diversity is what makes us dynamic and gives our group its unique features. I would never, ever want to be in a group of friends who are all exactly like me. I’d set us on fire by the end of one conversation.

This is the "I disagree with your last comment" button:

And this is the "I get the last word" button:

I know this because, though he doesn’t do it much anymore, one of my favorite things used to be watching Gladstone point out the number of followers he lost upon making a joke about a band or show that some of his followers liked. I loved the fact that up until that point, they were totally fine with every hard edged joke he made about recently dead celebrities or religion or just poking the beehive with a stick. But if he dropped even one innocent jab about a show that nerds decided to swarm around in a perpetual circle jerk, they’d drop out by the dozens like he just posted photos of their mothers doing anal with a horse.

Seriously, imagine that in real life. You start hanging around someone new, and you’re getting to know them pretty well. They’re funny,
136001 014 Nike Air Jordan 12 XII Retro Nubucks UNC(5), they have interesting things to say you could definitely be friends. Then one day,
323943 993 Air Jordan 2 21 Countdown Package(2), they make a joke about how the white haired chick from Game of Thrones should really fuck one of those dragons before they get too big and she physically can’t anymore. You know . because of all the fucking in that show. Then without a word, you just stand up and walk out of the room, never to be heard from again. No follow up conversation explaining why. No bullshit talk about why you can’t be friends anymore. You just walk away like that person never existed."Wait, you packed? You don’t even live here!"

But because of this weirdass type of social connection, that’s now a regular thing. "Friends" are a statistic a definitive, representable number and your goal as the owner of your page is to collect as many as you can like fucking Pokemon. When that number gets to a certain level, losing one doesn’t much matter. What’s the difference between 499 and 500 at that point? The dude said Battlestar Galactica is boring. I can’t listen to a single word he says beyond that sentence. He has to go.

4. The Approval of Total Strangers Becomes an Outright NeedRegardless of what all the family sitcoms taught us about the opinions of strangers (and the not giving a shit thereof), there are still times in your life where you do need to make a good impression on people you’re likely to never see again. Campaigning for class president, petitioning a council for a business permit, convincing a jury that you’re not the "stabbing" type of dude they’re making you out to be. And even in the nonformal sense,
136029 011 Air Jordan 15 Original Flint Grey White(16), if your kid is being a screaming piece of shit in a movie theater and you do nothing to stop it, every person in that building wants to see you severely injured.

Not long ago, I decided to start following people who regularly interact with me on Twitter. It’s a big step for me because up until then,
378037 117 Kids Air Jordan 11 Legend Blue White Black Legend Blue(34), I never followed more than 10 to 15 people at a time,
310455 411 Air Jordan 20 University Blue White(9), and most of those were people I knew personally. So it came as a bit of a shock to me when I realized how many people really do put massive amounts of value into things like that and retweets. For instance, one of the people I follow retweeted this from one of their friends,
136038 141 Air Jordan 6 Retro White Midnight Navy(17), and I jumped on the first joke that popped into my head because I’m an asshole who automatically assumes everything I read on social media was written by an adult who can infer my intended tone in a text message.

Yes, now that I know I was responding to a 15 year old girl,
310805 010 Nike Air Jordan 10 X Retro Black White(3), I feel 10 kinds of creepy and gross. Especially when she took obvious,
Men Size Air Jordan 6 Oreo 2014(9), justified offense to the reply. All she was wanting was a little bit of attention and validation,
535357 935 Air Jordan 6 7 Gold Medal Pack(18), and I shit on her attempt.

And this is what’s so weird about this current generation of early teens with this kind of easy access to a massive audience. It’s developed a need for their acceptance to be measured by a quantifiable number. For this particular girl, that number is 100. What if we gave her 10,
136027 142 Nike Air Jordan 5 V Retro White Sport Royal Stealth(13),000? I don’t mean that as a social experiment or thought exercise. I mean if I so easily put her on the defensive by making one dumb joke, imagine how happy it would make that girl to wake up today and find that her retweet request had been fulfilled a hundred times over.

Is that desire for mass acceptance a good or a bad thing,
308497 102 Nike Air Jordan 4 IV Retro Pure Money White Metallic Silver(16)? I don’t know . the adult in me has a natural knee jerk reaction to reject the idea because it’s a massive change over what I grew up with. What’s it take for a chick to get a little goddamn validation around here?

But like it or not, every form of social media has this rating system in place, and it’s pretty obvious that people love the idea. "Did you like what I said? Did you agree with my comment? Did you enjoy this video of my cat?" Every comment, creative project, and passing thought gets immediate feedback and a numerical rating. At the very least, I hope it’s a good idea because it sure as hell isn’t going anywhere.

3. We Demand (And Receive) Apologies from CelebritiesLet’s skip back almost 25 years to 1989. Andrew Dice Clay was supposed to introduce Cher at the MTV Video Music Awards. She was running behind because she’s Cher,
322992 102 Air Jordan 6 Rings Seattle Supersonics(9), so they asked Clay to fill some time. He did one of his then famous "adult nursery rhymes" specifically: "Jack Sprat could eat no fat. His wife could eat no lean. So Jack ignored her flabby tits and licked her asshole clean."

He was banned for life . "life" in this case meaning "until 2011," when they invited him back for another awards show. His entire career was built on this offensive character,
653996 060 KD 7 Calm Before The Storm Grey Hyper Punch Light Magnet Grey(3), and he baited press and activist groups constantly until he was selling out 20,
528896 101 Air Jordan 11 Low White Varsity Red(42),000 seat arenas based on the publicity they had ironically drummed up for him. Here’s the point .

At no point in his career did he ever have to stop and hold a press conference to apologize to the public for something he’d said or done, which is crazy because his entire act was purposely misogynistic. Not just that, but any protesting backlash came from the media because the public had no means to "unleash demands" upon him. He just did his act,
414571 003 Jordan 13 Retro Black Red(10), and if people liked it, they liked it. And if they hated it,
Air Jordan Force 5 White Orange Blue(12), it didn’t matter; he’d just move on to the next show and continue working, his act unmodified and unaffected by public input.
