 I’m proud to say I’ve NEVER had a Facebook account and I NEVER will. 

A lot of it is a cesspool. Trash. 

I’m not surprised that people suffer from mental illness. Facebook is filled with “mental junk food”. People are consuming mental garbage. 

And the worst part is that some people are addicted to it. Sad.

 I used it mostly to stay in touch with my missionary friends around the world.  We even used facebook to coordinate relief supplies to Chile when they had the bad earthquake something like 15 years ago.  It worked well for that.  The algorithms weren't so bad back then.  Facebook is terrible now (or at least the last time I used it which was several years ago, probably sometime before covid).

I refused to have it on my phone, ever.

 Smart move. Don’t add it to your phone. ⭐️

 One time my phone tried to install it without my permission.  I was raging mad.

 😂. Be slow to anger my friend. 

Did you receive my DM? I sent you $5.99 worth of sats to support buying your book.

 I did.  Thank you.  I tried to respond to it, but I guess it didn't go through.  I'll use the money to fund giving away books as a ministry to people.  So far, I've given away more than I've sold, but it is meant as a ministry, not a money making enterprise.  Of course it would be nice to break even instead of going in the hole.
