#1 Heh heh. I'm gonna enjoy effing with their little AI minds. Until they're smarter then me. Then I don't know what I'll do. :-)

#2 That is, theoretically, the whole point of advertising, isn't it?

#3 My natural intelligence, such as it is, predicts I will have fewer and fewer interactions with Facebook.

#4 Don't stick around on Facebook. You are a(n) (un)willing accomplice in a data mining and exploitation organization. Look at alternatives, not all of them social media or even electronic.

You do not have be beholden to sociopaths.

#6 There are plenty of churches with all kinds of social activities. There are Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, soccer leagues, softball leagues, chess clubs, gun clubs, boating clubs, etc. And if all that is just a bit too healthy for you, try a bar. If you don't get along at the first bar you try then try another. You like liquor, don't you? The point is to get up off your butt, go out and meet real people, not on Facebook but actually face to face, not in a virtual world but in the real world. The stakes are higher and it's all so much more exciting when it's real.

#7 I wonder if they can predict that you are about to pull the plug?
