Random Soapbox for Saturday 9/24/16

I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but ...

... NO, Facebook, NO!

I get that you are all proud of being so ubiquitous and so smart that you go out of your way to "help"my user experience.

I get that you know that I happen to enjoy me some Penn State football games, and that you encouraged me at some point to actually tell you that I follow the team.

But a boy has to run errands sometimes, and that means that he may have to leave at halftime and go pick up some groceries, and so he uses the modern technology of the DVR to save the game to watch at soon as he gets back from said errands.

Which means that, after signing on to the Facebook to wish some happy birthday greetings during the time delayed viewing of that game, THAT BOY DID NOT want to see the final score over on the right hand side of his screen.  (In case you don't get it ... THAT BOY was me.)

Facebook, I consider that a spoiler alert FOUL ... for which you deserve a PENALTY.

NO, Facebook, NO!
