I got into Facebook late, and I think if you get into Facebook late, you tend to use it the right way, as opposed to the people who got into it sooner and friended everybody and now have a thousand friends. I keep it at about 80 or so, and they're all people I know. Just because I do a movie doesn't mean I friend everybody in it.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote emphasizes the importance of meaningful connections over quantity in social networking.

He prioritizes quality relationships by keeping his friend list manageable, contrasting this with those who sought to amass a large number of friends without meaningful connections, thereby underlining the value of true friendship over mere social connections.

Remember on this one thing, said Badger. The stories people tell have a way of taking care of them. If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other's memories. This is how people care for themselves.
