Hi Deviant Advice.

I want to unfollow my best friend because his tweets are just not funny. Does this make me a bad person?

- BF, Lexington

Ahh technology and friendship. Two things that invariably collide and cause untold amounts of chaos and destruction. I always love these moments.

BF, do it. Pull the trigger and kill the Twitter relationship. After all, it’s not like it’s a major part of the friendship, or is it? If this friend freaks out over the loss of some random (well, not so random, but I digress -you always do -ed) cyber-stalker, then there’s some major issues that need to be worked out at some point before they decide to climb up into a bell tower with a rifle and a box of Slim Jims (oooooyeah! -ed). If they get all huffy and ask why, you have two choices; honesty, or kindness. Honesty (because you’re an unfunny twat, ok?) is going to be tougher than kindness (we talk every day already). so my advice here is to just be kind. Cut the virtual cord and go on about your life. If they persist in bugging you, then just add them back and then quietly block them and call it a day. After all, lies are part of what makes a friendship work anyways.
