Social media today has devolved into a hard-up drunk at closing time telling the drunk woman next to him that she is beautiful and really a great lady.

Closing time is the end of the night when everyone is drunk. The guy is lying telling the lady she's beautiful and a great lady only because he's desperate and this is his only chance for sex.

In other words, Facebook etc is the last refuge for sad and desperate people to post lies.

Of course, lemmy would never be like that ...
