Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.  Raz was being silly.

I thought he was being technical because it is in the Bill of Rights and not in the Constitution or something idiotic like that.

He is technically correct. The best kind of correct.
PDH!

Yeah, then being technically incorrect is the worst kind of incorrect, right? :P

You obviously don't want enough Futurama.  Correct that.

Technicality is the soul of the law.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

You can make sub-groups on Facebook these days. "Friends" don't have to see all of your posts depending on what category you put them in. Place coach as a friend that can't see your wall posts... ta-da.

Or even easier, just don't use the Facebook.

Then your interview will immediately fail, as you are branded a loner, the odd one out, someone who doesn't have friends, anti-social etc. 

Best way is to create a fake Facebook page specifically tailored for the interview, showing what the interviewers want to see.

That's more important for jobs where ability can't be measured. A college athlete just needs to worry about his play on the field, his grades, and avoiding embarrassing the school.

We really should look at the positive side of this.  If you go to an exam, your biggest problem is not knowing what the exam questions are.  Now the interviewers practically tell you what one of the interview questions will be - Facebook.  So why worry.  Just make a Facebook page, friend a bunch of normal people but exclude the nutjobs, pretend that you have some hobbies, post some nice pictures, show that you are an enthusiastic, positive person etc.  Then show the homework to the interviewers.

If I was required to defriend nutjobs, I would have no Languishite Facebook friends. Hell, I probably would have no Facebook friends at all.

Marty doesn't realize he's :wacko:, thus he thinks everyone around him is.
