Remember the '90s when you made plans and everyone actually showed up instead of cancelling at the last minute because there wasn't any way to do that?

Before everyone had a cell phone we didn't need to "make plans" every time we wanted to hang out. Hanging out with friends was just what you did.

On Facebook events maybe means no and yes means “unless I get a better offer”. The RSVP there is completely useless.
