Truth time? I never truly, deeply loved Facebook like I love, say, Sphinn. You could take Facebook out of my life and I’d be pissed at first, but I’d adjust, and life on the planet would continue. Take away my Sphinn and furniture is going to move around in here.

“You’re completely f—ing nuts,” he said. “You can’t get anything from Facebook but a sheep thrown at you.” He muttered something else under his breath that I didn’t catch.
