The heart is commonly associated with emotions and desires. Although it is not scientifically accurate as all thought and emotion actually comes from the brain and the heart is just a muscle for pumping blood, it is a common way of conceptualising the apparent dichotomy between rational thought and irrational feeling. The image is encouraging people to "follow their hearts" (which means to do as you feel you should or would like to) and not to over-think and come up with reasons or excuses for not doing it. It does this by use of a metaphor, presented visually as a path from the heart to a balloon (representing an aspiration) cutting through the brain. It is in no way intended to encourage the actual splitting of brains, nor to suggest that balloons are powered by human blood. It's just supposed to be encouraging.

I can't find the source of it (perhaps the poster realized how silly it was and pulled it?) but someone on my friendlist took a far more literal approach to the whole heart/brain thing while simultaneously being a lot harder to believe about it: A crazy facebook statement posted:"After conception the heart is the first brain that develops, and after some time the other brain begins to form. As we grow this other brain continues to mature. The heart brain though is smarter as it has the ability to collapse time, even inter-generational time. The heart is smart. It knows what your ancestors knew." What leads to that? So the general idea is that the heart is an even better brain -than the brain-. My head hurts. deepshock has a new favorite as of 19:40 on May 6, 2013 |

Local news station facebook pages are usually a goldmine of idiot rantings. This guy posted similar images roughly three times a day on EVERY news stations' page in the weeks coming up to the election. He also posted tons of photoshops of infants wearing beanies and getting stoned.  This guy has been at it more and more posting pictures of "orbs." There's also never a shortage of people wanting to bring chemtrails to the media's attention.

KFC did in fact change their name temporarily but it was because the state of Kentucky trademarked the word "Kentucky" but eventually they came to an agreement. I worked at KFC at the time and I got asked about that at least once a week by friends and family.

 Here's the article she linked to. I would understand my friend posting this if the article actually mentioned anything about her body or made any kind of negative remark, but it literally said nothing of importance other than Alanis Morissette went to the beach with her family, wore a mix and match bikini, and looks nice without makeup. I'd totally get it if the article said anything objectifying or malicious, but it was just a bland, standard celebrity watch blurb. There are so many other blatant examples of sexist media to be angry about, why go out of one's way to get upset about something so innocuous? Edit: Didn't see the video on that same page.

Saying her bikini is "mismatched" implies that she's an idiot with no fashion sense, whereas in reality it doesn't loving matter. Calling out a stupid article meant to shame a woman for any reason is pretty cool if you ask me. I can understand the confusion of why your friend mentioned body shape, however. It's still completely stupid any one would be stalking her, taking pictures, and posting them online to make fun of her for any reason.

There's a video at the top of the article, and the curvy/full-figured quotes come from there. They're making a big deal of the words "Self Love" written on her bikini, which obviously means loving herself in spite of carrying a few extra pounds.  I guess because of the message, they're going with the "so brave" angle on this one while using all the tabloid euphemisms for "fat."

The girl who posted it is generally a pretty cool person, and posts great stuff for the most part. Sometimes she literally looks for things to get upset about, though, which I had assumed was the case here since she had posted 3 or 4 articles about Christina Hendricks immediately before this one. I did see the video and now I get what she was commenting on, and yeah, it is pretty lovely.

My favourite face book things are where it builds that anticipation like... "YOU GOTTA HEAR WHAT THIS PERSON SAID ABOUT WELFARE, IT'S ABOUT TIME.....THIS IS REALLY HILARIOUS AND TRUE!!!....YOU GOTTA HAND IT TO HIM..............FINALLY SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS THEIR MIND!!! And then post a huge, fake anecdote from Jackie Chan about how much he thinks Blacks shouldn't be allowed on welfare or something. Someone posted a Robin Williams one a few pages back.

 Oh yes, Dr. Eric-kun (even typing his stupid made-up name up makes me wince a little), please tell us all about your amazing Facebook meditation techniques.

The bottom one is hilarious, does that poster really think that people chug shaved ice syrup from the bottle right in the store? If someone buys weed killer, gets all the way home, and makes a poison snow cone, there's a lot more to be worried about than the layout of the special items aisle

The items need to be displayed outside the manor, near the hedge maze.

Pretty sure the second photo is from Mark Zahn's old facebook account, he was a dude who had a youtube account where he openly accused people of poisoning his food and being FBI agents, if the last comment on his account is to be believed, he's possibly dead now. Here's one of his videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQj2MqwyhyE Here's a video where he's accusing a shopkeeper of ripping him off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSnlHVl_Ql0 Unbootable has a new favorite as of 21:27 on May 7, 2013 |

Ahh, my childfree group I'm in strikes again! Their lowest moment ever, and there are a low moment of bitter child hatred. To be fair to the group, they have called this guy out on his bullshit and how he's crossed the line. I was the first to do so because if not you than who (to trot out old tired cliches). Obviously the first couple of people (first comment and the one who LIKED the post) aren't that great either.
