Compost-grown was the root cause of the e-coli tomatoes scare a year or two ago, despite it being the natural way home-grown tomatoes have always been grown, so most commercial growers don't use compost anymore.

That's what the sentiment is about.

Weird, I thought that was because a facility somewhere in the middle had bad sanitation standards or something. Granted, I never followed the story that closely.

I don't care that it turned out that the poster was a girl, this is still funny.

There's a thread in e/n right now where some guy doesn't understand why a girl would wear make-up or nice clothes if she wasn't trying to attract a mate. I can't figure out if he is a troll or not.

I love the people (mostly middle aged, some not) who cannot figure out that there's a difference between posting on someone's wall and sending them a message. If you ever need to ask them something that's very private, find a different way to do it. I messaged one of my aunts once and she still replied to the message with a big long post on my wall that I had to delete because it was extremely personal.

I also have a 20-something cousin who will only speak to me by commenting on one particular photo I posted. It has nothing to do with the picture, she just uses the comments like they're a chatroom. :wtc:

He's not so much "makeup and fashion are only for attracting people" as he is "what's the point of basic grooming/dressing decently if no one can see you." Like people are having to explain the basic concept of having a self-image and feeling good when you look nice as if they were talking to an alien or robot. I want to believe it's a troll, but I see posts every day from people who honestly don't understand the most basic stuff.

Why can't those man-haters just admit that I'm inherently superior to them? Things were so much better when I didn't have to share anything or recognize other people as fellow humans. So persecuted... :qq:

It's not just feminism, you see the same attitude all the time whenever there's any push for more recognition/rights from some group or other.

(Friend X) I am so proud of my amazing, sexy, strong First Nations Cree husband (Guy X)!

(Idiot) I am so proud of myself and all of my amazing, sexy, and strong White friends.

(Idiot) Now, commence your lecture on how my comment is extremely racist, rude and inappropriate because it's about "privileged White people" whereas your double standard is okay because they're a "minority" who experience "hardships" and "deserve" to be proud of their race because of all the challenges they've overcome. But being proud of Caucasian roots is "wrong" because everything is so "easy" for us.

It's a feature in an add-on called Social Media Fixer. It really improves Facebook in a lot of ways, especially how your feed works.

As for the posts, I love when people make poo poo up about how downtrodden Caucasians are by society. Any time someone talks about how minorities have a lot of great people in them who have contributed to humanity in some way, there's always some rear end in a top hat who has to act like it's an affront to his whiteness that you dare compliment someone that isn't of Western European descent.

Don't forget that a single instance of success or nondiscrimination for any minority or woman instantly discounts all the discrimination they receive. In addition the slightest difficulty faced by a white male shows what true discrimination is.

One mentality I've seen in some people online and IRL lately seems to be that once we reach some requisite level of "equality" then things will go back to the way they were. It's as if they're asking "when can I call someone a human being again?" as if once a minority reaches some token amount of agency they have to give up being offended by historically derogatory slurs. It seems to go back to the mentality of "why be offended by a racist/sexist/homophobic slur when I don't mean it that way".

My mother-in-law just got a new phone and she stalks people on Facebook and does just that. I had bronchitis this week, so she posted "Hi I'm home how are you feeling do you need anything? Love you." on my wall, and then called me to see if I got the message. The next day, her sister liked the post.

You can edit your Facebook settings to either not accept posts to your timeline or make it so that you're the only one who can see them. You can even specifically bar certain people from posting to your profile through the "custom" setting. It'll ask you to put in friends' names who will not be allowed to post.
