Kind of seems douchey to write off a bunch of people as deadbeats.
Haha, I didn't mean to say that ALL of the people I went to hs with were deadbeats and only a few of them did something with their lives. I did mean to say that MOST of the people I went to hs with still smoke weed/eat shrooms in their parents' basements, spend their entire paychecks on expensive clothes, mods for their cars, and bottle service at clubs, have been in and out of jail, or generally have no motivation or plans to ever do something positive with themselves. Most of my newsfeed is full these people, so I don't think it's douchey when I see someone do something like post an acceptance letter or some other accomplishment they're excited about because it's good to hear about people who are pursuing their goals.

Your family and friends don't "share in the moment" when you post your A+ in torts or your acceptance to GULC; assuming they aren't also douches, they are happy for you but also concerned and embarrassed for you. It is obnoxious to post stuff like that online. Doing so outs you immediately as not having social skills and/or self-confidence. It is not surprising in the least that many TLS posters have committed this douchey error, but thats TLS for you.

Very few of you will be doing this stuff when you are 40. Stop now- you'll have way more friends.
Are you the sort of shitboomer that leaves serious reviews on Applebee's facebook page?

Eh, I haven't posted anything law school-related on facebook, but I don't see what the big deal is. Express yourself however you want.

+1, i am a real weirdo but oddly one of my best friends was arguably the most popular guy in my year at college and makes friends everywhere he goes, he always posts my stuff.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
