I'm not friends with that person. I found it here: http://www.mommyish.com/author/4df7bbc507dfe/ and here http://www.stfuparentsblog.com/

Also, I have learned from the internet that baby contests bring out the idiots in people:

Guilt tripping:

Ah, yes. My uncle is a goldmine for this. He's a closet racist (who moved to Switzerland) who frequently posts the UK equivalent of ARE TROOPS because he was in the RAF.

As a sparky. A civvie. You wouldn't know it from the way he posts, though. You'd think he literally was the entire SAS. Hopefully he'll deliver for the thread soon...

I have a cousin like that. At least 3 times a week he posts something like "IF YOU DON'T STAND BEHIND THEM FEEL FREE TO STAND IN FRONT OF THEM" and he gets especially ridculous around Veteran's Day. If you listen to him you'd think he was some Tier 1 Spec Ops noScoperIRL, but he was a sanitation driver in the Air Guard For 2 years.

The best Literally Unbelievables are the ones where somebody points out that it's satirical and the person acts like they don't even know what that means. Or when someone says it's fake/a joke and they go "Why? Because they cover the stories nobody else will?!"

According to a quarter my facebook, satire is a factual account of something that's really happening somewhere in the world RIGHT NOW. You just don't see it, sheeple.

I honestly think that this is the result of not reading enough to (or otherwise mentally stimulating in a meaningful way) a child or something. It's like something was done so terribly wrong during a person's developmental years that they end up almost incomprehensibly stupid as an adult and unable to understand concepts such as irony or sarcasm.

It's staggering how we pretty much only care about active duty people and well-adjusted vets in the US. If you have any actual issues coming back from war (PTSD, missing limbs, etc) you can go gently caress yourself because how dare you drain the tax payers even more.

I really liked Moby Dick, I don't get the hate. If you don't like the bits about whaling, you can skim those parts super easily (which, I've admittedly done a few times).

But don't tell me you don't think that the bit about how whales are flat-finned fish and not mammals isn't funny.

OK thank you. I'd never read it, but like 3 lines into the "article" I had a feeling that this was just the entire book Moby Dick. And that's the joke.

But Goons and not getting jokes is kinda the staple of this forum.
