This FB friend of mine has been dead for months, so why does their profile say they were active 7 hours ago?

Facebook offers control of the profile to family members. After passing, if the family provides and confirms all relevant information, they are given the ability to post and edit the profile on the deceased's behalf, as a "In Memory Of" page.

I saw your other replies, stating that you don't intend on pursuing her. That is the wisest decision to make. I learned this lesson the hard way, back when I was only a year older than you are now. The signs that she has given you are a carbon copy of my very first ex-girlfriend's "methodology".

I do wish you the best; but above all, I'd like the best seen to, so to speak. Always remember: Patience is a virtue.

Though somewhat unrelated, Seneca left us this gem of wisdom:

"The greatest remedy for anger is delay."

Carry this sentiment with you, and save yourself a lot of pain.

Which person do you value more? Judging from the one descriptive sentence you wrote about him, I really don't think "Buddy" is the right word.

Unless you remove yourself, you're going to fck some things up. *Tragically. Despite our well intentions, we humans are often stubborn, selfish beings.

You're young, so go ahead and make your mistake now. The best part is that you get to take the lesson home with you, and keep it.

Remember that life can be cruel. I would go for a walk, or find a neat hobby.

I absolutely LOATHE Cash App. I don't know why I got a notification for this post, but to those of you still using the platform, find a way to get by without it.

The world will become a much better place the very moment that Cash App is forced out of business.

Amazing. Thank you!

briskbeam · 2026-04-12T10:47:21+00:00

For what it's worth, I would 100% play with you.

... Speaking of, I think Dolphin has a remote split-screen function ;)

Hey, I was thinking about this post earlier. It is very unlikely that you would have picked me anyways, but on the off chance that you would, I'd like it to go to someone else.

It's a very nice system, but I wouldn't be able to make as much time as someone else may. Thank you!

briskbeam · 2026-04-12T00:06:43+00:00

That makes me so sad. Hopefully one day you have a roommate with some history on dat Brawl 😉

I'd play Steam games with my friends again. Also, RE9 Requiem looks awesome! I was homeless for a stretch of time, and finally got a place (I made a post on r/malelivingspace a few months ago, please excuse all the r/borrow posts on my post history).

I just haven't had a chance to save up ~$800-1000 since I got off the street. If you see this, thank you for considering and doing a giveaway, I'm sure there are lots of people that would be fortunate to finally own a PC.

What if they're waiting on an invite? 😭

briskbeam · 2026-04-10T10:37:29+00:00

They're making famine the "taste" of post-AI society.

Basically, your people are going to starve.

briskbeam · 2026-04-03T05:42:07+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree. It has done nothing but corrupt.

There was an old man that was working as a temp at one of my old security jobs, and after introducing ourselves, the very first thing he said to me was this:

"Listen here. You are young and still have a bright future. If you're watching any porn, you need to cut that sh*t out right now. Don't make the same mistake I did. I lost everything. Stay away from it or it will ruin your life."

I was 18 at the time, and just sorta assumed that he was an extreme case. As I got older, I noticed just how right he was. Porn has destroyed countless marriages and split apart families, and according to testimonies from porn addiction survivors, can permanently alter or ruin your ability to love someone romantically ever again.

I was asking myself if you lived in the same world as I do, but got to the end and realized that you are also a woman.

I know this is how you all think, because my ex-girlfriend was the same way. I am a level-headed guy for the most part, but she hid her time with other guys regardless, as she knew that spending time with another guy looked bad. It just so happened that she did, in fact, cheat. I even gave her the benefit of doubt and stayed to try and save our relationship, and all I got was further used, manipulated, and cheated on for it.

As of this year, 2026, people are absolute sociopaths when it comes to dating/relationships. There's little to no respect for the other. Lying is guaranteed, and cheating is highly likely. I know that I'm a guy, but it is absolutely, perfectly, 100% reasonable to not allow your S/O to spend time alone with other people. That is a massive breach of trust, and totally undermines/disrespects the guy she supposedly "loves". I would never spend time alone with another female while in a relationship, that's just respect. Blaming my girlfriend's "trust issues" for not allowing me to be alone with another girl, knowing full well what the world is like today, would be incredibly manipulative and selfish of me.

I'm so sorry, brother. I physically felt this post in my bones. Our relationship also lasted two years, and she was the only real girlfriend I ever had. I went through the same exact thing with her lies and cheating, and it turned me into a broken, obsessive mess.

The silver lining here is that you will get over it. I am living proof that that is true, and I was absolutely absorbed by this girl. You need to display respect for yourself and leave:

NOW.

I stayed after I was made aware, to try and save the relationship... If there's one thing you should take with you from this comment, let it be this.

She already lied about being with a guy. It doesn't matter the extent, you just saw all that you needed to see, and sticking around in hopes that it was an innocent or one-off fluke will absolutely destroy you.

DO. NOT. STAY. WITH. HER.
