Facebook likes to make suggestions. It likes to show you things that it things you might be interested in.
I wonder how it knows what I might be interested in. Because, truly, it seems to show me only things I don’t want to see. 😉
It’s the friending suggestions that I sometimes find unnerving. It will suggest becoming friends with dead people. Yes, I knew them in life. Yes, I was friends with them in life. But they’re not here any more. There’s no friend there.
To absent friends.
