Learn To Manage Social Annoyances This Weekend

Whether online or in person, life sometimes bristles with annoyances. This weekend, try out a few ways to handle them and, in some cases, block them out entirely.

Spoilers, political posts and stupid arguments plague the internet, but you don’t have to see them. Browser plugins can take away the pain of daily annoyances with special filters. SocialFixer can solve lots of those problems on Facebook. You can use it to filter political posts (or anything else, for that matter) and generally customise your Facebook experience so you don’t have to deal with any crap you don’t enjoy.
