We’ve already told you that Facebook ruined your birthday. And it’s so completely true! It’s completely meaningless now, hordes of semi-friends and quasi-acquaintances fake like they care about you. Ugh. And maybe when the wall posts first start trickling in you’re a little happy, but as more and more keyboard vomit starts popping up, you tune ‘em out.

It makes you turn from excited, to uneasy, to questioning if you even know your Facebook friends, to killing off your real friends who care about you in real life. Wait… what? [My Damn Channel]
Saying Anything on Facebook Is Meaningless
Really liked that, nice video!
Is it really that different from someone saying happy birthday in real life? Really doesn’t bother me and has been done too many times now.
This man and his video isn’t funny in the slightest
Someone clearly just had a birthday, and clearly didn’t receive any wall posts on Facebook.. Awkward

Sure enough, when my new birthday came round, a fresh batch of “Happy Birthdays” popped up on my feed, many from people who had wished me the very same only a few short weeks ago…
