Yes, we all get it. People do it. Tons of people do it. Lots of people also fart. Doesn't make it any less unpleasant.
For me, "post job offers" is about as fucking annoying as posting engagement ring pix. Which is to say that I really don't give a fuck and wish I didn't have to read about it.SemperLegal wrote:zweitbester wrote:NEWSFLASH: HUMANS ARE SELF-CENTERED AND LOVE TALKING ABOUT THEMSELVES.Do me a favor.

But, its hard to say that its a "widely-accepted norm" not to post job offers when the opposite is true.
Can I suggest ...zweitbester wrote:False dilemma dude. I don't want to read someone's opinion on Gaza or some law student's self important fucking explanation of a SCOTUS decision. My purpose on Facebook is to read and post funny and/or interesting shit. Anything more serious than that and you go on the "hide from feed" list. simple as that.SemperLegal wrote:zweitbester wrote:Yeah, your FB litmus test shouldn't be based on whether people do not respond negatively to a post. The litmus test should be "is this about me" and "am I really, when I search deeply within my motivations, just trying to talk about how good I am?" (the latter test should cover humble brags when you search deeply enough within yourself), then just don't post it.
I mean, thats dumb. Of course it should be about the poster, I would rather 100% of the time find out about a buddies new baby than hear some idiots comments on Gaza. Facebook is about sharing news about yourself with others.
I agree with the second part of that test, but I think an offer (assuming you haven't been posting about it all summer) passes the test. Posting grades is just to show off how much better you are than other people. Posting that you are going to be living in XX from graduation on wards, and will (hopefully) be licensed to practice in that state is actually relevant to third parties for more than just a brag factor, and therefore passes the test.

It's an easy way to connect with friends I don't see often. I've deactivated it a few times and it's more of an invoncenience than anything. Also when I get banned I have to chat with tlsers to get updates. You're right though, 99% of people's content is utter dogshit. Doesn't make your argument any stronger.SemperLegal wrote:Mal Reynolds wrote:Besides chronic buzzfeed posters, people like you are the reason why facebook is so terrible.
What the alternative, sharing your comments on world events or posting the six thousandth selfie? Why would you even have a facebook if you aren't interested in seeing peoples personal and professional news? I mean the website has a feature for reporting a new job.
My point is, WTF would I not post something that most of my friends and family either want to know, or are expecting to see on FB because its a common post type, in order to protect the fragile egos of law students? They need to just suck it up and read on.DELG wrote:In the limited context of the law school community, assuming you're not just running a low IQ schtick and actually couldn't put that together
And my point is, being right isn't a defense to doing it making you an asshole by the definition widely accepted by law students.SemperLegal wrote:My point is, WTF would I not post something that most of my friends and family either want to know, or are expecting to see on FB because its a common post type, in order to protect the fragile egos of law students?

I'm in the last office to have offers go out as well... At least our final reviews are today!sap wrote:The summers at another of my firm's offices all got offers earlier this week. While rationally I know that different offices do things differently, my lady bits are convinced this means that one of us is getting no-offered.

Its not like posting of grades, which is only for the benefit of other classmates and is self-serving. Having a permanent offer decides what state you are going to be a lawyer in and where you are going to live for the next half decade or so. Its very important information that a lot of people who are not law students care about.
Fuck anyone who makes me have to call all my relatives and friends individually and tell them that my wife and I are moving permanently to LA. I am just going to blast it on Facebook and continue dodging their calls. If that makes you sad, sorry your parents raised a sissy.
Its not widely-accepted, its just navel-gazing at its finest. HTH.
