That's Rachel Maddow? Oh wow then that makes the comment "One of them looks like Rachel Maddow :shepface:." even funnier. Of course, it still can't beat out

Side note question: Why does a gay person who says they're not attracted to the opposite sex end up w/ a person of the same sex who dresses and acts like a person of the opposite sex? Hmmmm

It's like an echo chamber of insecurity!



Fun facts! This lovely gentleman is a lovely MRA/Redditor and wears a god-damned fedora and trench coat around campus. Which, I'd like to mention, is a Community College! It's not a hard university by any means; I was 18 when I graduated, and he's been there almost five years now. Also, he's a psychology major, so how does he expect to do anything if he can't pass a baseline course, the history classes there are incredibly easy, and how do you gently caress up poetry that badly?

Also, the "hard work" he was doing was being a part-time cashier at McDonald's.

I really wish I knew what the comment he deleted/unfriended someone over was. I hope it was something like "Try working harder" :allears:.

I like to think his grades are so low because in reality all of his teachers were women, and in psychology he was like "Look, we can't say for certain that female hysteria isn't a real thing", then in history he was like "Look, all I'm saying is the nation was in its golden era before the 19th amendment was passed, and before the whole Seneca Falls bullshit started making it so women weren't the property of their husbands.", and for poetry I'm going to assume he just tried playing the "Feminists Killed Kurt Cobain" thing from youtube

I know the psych teacher from that school; she was totally badass, I'm not quite sure if he would be alive if he had said that.

I'm really happy to tell you that he's decided his poetry was so good, he decided to share it with Facebook. Here are some choice examples:

SO DEEP posted:

When Did It Begin?

My dearest friend,
When did it begin?
When did these feelings start to brew within?
Your eyes, shimmering green, showed such beauty.
Perhaps it was then that I swore fealty.
So far Ive kept that true.
No matter what, Ill be there for you as a friend.
Youve helped me through many rough times.
Im glad to continue doing the same.
Everyday these feelings live again.
Everyday I feel them within.

Haunting Presence

The howl of a distant wolf.
The silence of the night broken so easily.
Your voice hasnt been heard.
Years have passed it seems.
Yet every night I feel your presence.
Deaths second self brings you to me.
Yet still I cannot touch you.
I cannot teach you what I know.
I cannot lay you in bed and say goodnight.
I cannot hold my sweet child close.
Deaths second self comes once again.
It brings your haunting presence every night.

I'm relatively certain that these are both in reference to his ex-girlfriend, who left him after he did some incredibly hosed up things that I don't quite feel comfortable going into all the details of.
I'm really glad the teacher failed him; it's good to know they had standards.

Bonus different idiot on facebook!


You know, this starts off well, and if it had just ended after "We agree", that would be just fine. But the last point frankly baffles me a little... How, exactly, does requesting background checks on people wanting to own a weapon compare to the incredibly discriminatory things people have done to/said about Muslims?

Literally any gun law is a massive attack to try to destroy the second amendment and confiscate all guns from gun owners as there are absolutely no real reasons on why we might need any gun laws, so it's obviously the same as the discrimination Muslims face.(its basically one giant persecution complex, maybe its why they love guns so much to begin with)

I'm not gonna post a picture, but my university's Confessions page posted instructions for an SQL injection attack as a tip for how to get free prints. The week before finals weeks. How dumb do you have to loving be to think that's a good idea? Also how loving dumb is my university to leave the printing system open to SQL injections, is this the year 2000 still or something?

Ok FB friends, you may think this method is a hoax at first glance, but make no mistake. This is a skill-set developed under a classified military program and has recently been de-classified to allow the public to be trained on it's methods. This is not fake, this is a real scientific method of peering into the present or the future and collecting information that was previously unknowable, backed by years of scientific evidence. Many events have been predicted using this method but have been dismissed as coincidence untill recently. Consider attempting to learn this skill. I am as soon as I am able.

He links to this: http://remoteviewing.com/

This is the same person who told me I was dumb for not believing that the governments of the world all came together in order to hide the fact that the meteor that exploded over Russia on the same day as the other asteroid flew by Earth were not related because meteors carry alien life and Christians wouldn't be able to handle that.

Thats awesome, i have been doing some research myself. The ex CIA remote viewers are saying some scary things about the future. They have plotted out several events that will happen the will be a precursor to what they are calling "The Killshot Sequence" which is supposedly a massive giant flare predicted to cook the southern hemisphere abd kill billions. Some of these events have already came and went.

Sorry southern hemisphere, the remote viewers have spoken. The kill shot is coming for you. :clint:

"If you have music from some pop artists, but not 1 specific band from my favorite subgenre of music then you're a terrible sheeple who lets the music industry pick all your music for you!"

I love the implication that the only reason someone would listen to PSY or Nicki Minaj is because they have no taste and let the music industry decide everything they listen to, but anyone who listens to Pantera is a free-spirited thinker who is in no way influenced by their peers or marketing.

It took me a few minutes staring at that post to figure that out and I feel dumber for it. That's the sort of "joke" that would have gotten you laughed off the elementary school playground for being way too lame even for second-graders.

I don't get the idiot here. Ebert did make that sweeping claim and eventually rescinded it, saying something like "well I guess I shouldn't dismiss something so categorically".

Attributing it to his old man status is probably akin to how graphic novels took generations to be accepted into literary circles.

I don't know if I'm still just tired or hungover or missing something obvious but I've reread their comment on the picture several times and I'm still not sure what it is trying to say.

People on my feed have been pretty good about not posting this poo poo but unfortunately this just came up:



Thankfully blue isn't my friend, but to red I would suggest that if you don't want to look like a crazy conspiracy theorist, then don't post crazy conspiracy theories.

(I made the mistake of actually going to the link, it's all a bunch of "CLEARLY you can see a thing happening in this blurry smoke-filled video frame" [and it's stuff like "both people are looking in the same direction which means they are obviously responding to a go signal being given by someone off camera"] - the main thesis is that if both your legs got blown off, you would go into shock and then die from massive blood loss, but then the author seems to be confused as to why the victim looks too calm [isn't that what shock is?] and then claims that the tourniquets visible aren't tight enough [you'd think that "blood isn't spurting from the victim's wounds" would be evidence that they in fact are tight enough but of course it's just taken as more evidence for the conspiracy].)

I guess it's actually really nice and sweet that the shadow government trying to use false-flag terror attacks to achieve [????] is so concerned about not hurting people that they would hire actors and use fake bombs and stuff. In fact if the reptilians/masons/illuminati/Jews/whoever are that ethical then they sound better than the regular government, which doesn't really have any problem with killing civilians.

She couldn't tell that it was in France despite it saying "NORTHERN FRANCE," having a GoToFranceNow.com URL, showing a large map of northern France in relation to England, and information on how to get to France from England via ferry.

But she love space thingies so she wants to find something similar in London, where she is.

I dunno. I find that whole poster pretty confusing. Are they suggesting we go all the way to Northern France for some weird space thing that is not described at all?


It looks like two entirely different advertisements to me.
