    I'm having a hard time trying to get my social swag on. I've been too busy watching Houston sports. ;)

    There's alternate ways to recover an account without email access or password.

    https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10151487935427404

    I remember a method where if you can identify 3-4 random friends on your friends list by their pic, it'll give temp access to an account.

    Yeah, this is why I still enjoy facebook. A lot of old friends from junior high and high school on there that I keep in touch with and just joke around in statuses and whatnot. Playoff time is especially fun on there. One thing I don't like is the stalkers. There is this one chick, who I showed a little attention to a year ago, and since then she will like almost every status I put up. People keep asking me who she is and I'm just like "She won't leave me alone! And I can't delete her because that would be rude and what if I get desperate again one lonely night?"

    You can set who is allowed to see what you post. Either by setting up groups or at an individual level. Without that and the ability to unfollow people Facebook would be almost useless.

    I quit Facebook about a year ago. I used to say I had one just so I could stay in touch with people I knew who I don't stay in touch with in real life anymore... but having them on Facebook made me realize why I no longer hang out with them anymore.

    So many of the people I knew in high school are irredeemably idiotic. It would pain me to see their statuses. I really only have a couple good friends from back then. And while I do have some friends from college and my post-college work life I can't see all that often, I prefer to stay in touch with them by hanging out (even if it's rare) or, at worst, texting.

    I can say that GROUPS are probably the best thing
    Being able to find people with mutual interest and able to find new items in that interest is pretty cool

    There are pros and cons to any thing
    I must say that the problem is . . .. the cost for that access is rising and I don't care for that
    They seem to want more and more information . . .. almost to the point of it being uncomfortable.

    Facebook makes it difficult to have multiple girlfriends.

    But, I'm nearing 60 pokes... So I win.

    The more times I like a hot girls profile pictures or status update the more likely she is to have relations with me.

    Other than an email address to confirm registration, what information are you forced to give them?

    I recently like last week made an Instagram and immediately regretted it. Worse than facebook. Nothing worth my time. It's for teenagers and ppl who want to feel popular 24/7. Society man. They suck.
