Mark Zuckerberg loses patience over racial insensitivity at Facebook

Facebook employees crossing out "black lives matter" to read "all lives matter" on Facebook's signature wall on campus - a great case of idiots on social media('s headquarters).

What is creek swimmer even supposed to mean? Is it some sort of slur against illegal immigrants implying they got here by swimming across the Rio Grande? Otherwise, this one's got me stumped.

It's kind of ironic, because if I'm remembering correctly President Fox was kind of Mexico's version of Donald Trump (lots of bravado, man of action, outsider, ridiculous patch of hair on his head).

He looks like a confused Geraldo Rivera in that picture.

A little creek swimmer vs Big Fish Trump, I'm guessing.

I'm assuming it's a polite way to say wetback which doesn't even make sense as an insult. He obviously never swam across the rio grande. He's still in Mexico.

Wasn't there a police report or something of that nature floating around about a dude who posted poo poo like that on facebook and the cops finally showed up asking "Okay, what the gently caress?" . I recall it had them asking questions and every response was "Mr. So and so explained that he was joking".

I think it might be that situations like this are exactly why porn sites have share buttons, so that idiots will out themselves as being into weird poo poo publicly. Why would one think, as a teacher, that it'd be okay to post about goddamn anime kiddie porn in any light but negative? loving idiot.


Also, cross-posting what might be my favorite social media idiocy of all time from the Schadenfreude thread:

Brothers who mocked judge over suspended sentence in obscene Facebook posts jailed for two years

Two criminals given suspended sentences after showing remorse in court. Afterwards they immediately mock the judge on Facebook for being so lenient. Judge sees it, calls them back for a sentence review and sends them down for two years as they were clearly not remorseful at all. :dance:

I feel somewhat bad for Thad, because he probably spent so much time being a creep and surrounding himself by people who enabled, encouraged, and shared his creepiness that what probably started as "jokes! ha ha! words!" eventually evolved into flash drives. And those kinds of creepy otaku are currently the ones screaming about DOAX3 and the fall of Western civilization.

No, what he did was totally hosed up, and I agree that he needed to be punished severely for it!

But what I'm saying is that he probably didn't start out being terrible, clearly has a mental disorder (since he created a separate Facebook account for an anime girl that he would then talk to publicly), and rather than going "Whoa dude, you should not be like this", he was encouraged by people and made to believe that this was all perfectly fine and dandy in his world. There are people probably just like him who facilitated this behavior and are actively getting away with it.

One thing I always have to wonder when a story crops up like that is, well, do these guys have undiagnosed, untreated mental illnesses? What the guy did was terrible sure but I can't help but feel like it all could have been avoided if the guy got the help he needed. Instead of hanging around other weirdos that encouraged him to get worse how different would it have been if he was around people that said "hey dude you need to be in therapy and we'll help you get better, OK?"

Creating a second Facebook account for your anime waifu is not normal, healthy behavior and is a red flag for "get this person in a psychologist's office like yesterday."

And he's restricted from using whatever has replaced the internet when he gets out in 2034.

If you want to argue that pedophilia is a mental illness, then technically every pedophile is mentally ill. Though that gets into some rather uncomfortable implications about exactly what gets classified as a mental illness (is a foot fetish a mental illness, or does it only count if it hurts kids?).

The sad part is that there's actually plenty of pedophiles who are ashamed of it and resisting the urge because they know it's harmful, but it's virtually impossible for them to get help because even admitting the attraction results in them immediately becoming a pariah and anyone who tries to help them in ways other than immediate imprisonment and watch lists gets accused of being a kiddy diddler themselves.

This Dr. Mercola website is full of bullshit claims. From http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/mercola.html :

quote:

Many of Mercola's articles make unsubstantiated claims and clash with those of leading medical and public health organizations. For example, he opposes immunization [10] fluoridation [11], mammography [12], and the routine administration of vitamin K shots to the newborn [13,14]; claims that amalgam fillings are toxic [15]; and makes many unsubstantiated recommendations for dietary supplements. Mercola's reach has been greatly boosted by repeated promotion on the "Dr. Oz Show."

'Chemicals' is the new 'Toxins'.

No joke, I have a guy like this on my facebook feed. Talks about how he likes anime kiddy porn, affectionately calls himself a "lolicon", surrounds himself with other weird anime people, I think he even has a girlfriend. Most everyone else from highschool has probably unfollowed him, but I still have him on my friends list because A. he doesn't actually POST any of that poo poo and B. he's great fodder for this very thread.

Get ready for teh wacky laughz0r!

quote:

When so many people started talking about the importance of "trigger warnings" and how they had developped "PTSD" from encountering divergent opinions from theirs, I just shrugged and. When my younger brother transitioned to female and started raving hard about all things Social-Justice-y, I was stupefied. When she started talkign about her anxiety attacks over the mere mention of the word "rape" (she has never been sexually assaulted nor witnessed any rape except on TV), I started digging into the science of anxiety fits to see what there really was about it.

It turns out that one can indeed teach one's own brain to develop PTSD over any kind of stimuli at all. All you need to do is to foster a sense of being threatened every time you encounter the stimulus of your choice. For example, you start thinking about people trying to beat you up, of menacing predators pouncing, of natural disasters closing in on you, whenever the stimulus is there. You can also jsut go and read detailed testimonies of aggressions - the more expressive and vivid, the better. You then reinforce and validate this self-inflicted perception of threat by expressing to other people how you feel threatened by the stimulus of your choice, and have the other people agree with you. Basically, this retrains your amygdala into stimulating your cingulate cortex so that it activates the limbic axis for fight-or-flight response. With enough practice, you can push yourself deep into somatization, and develop identical symptoms to that of genuine PTSD-sufferers, to the point where you will have nausea and dizziness just from thinking about the stimulus.

The interesting thing is, it's the kind of the reverse of desensitization therapy for actual PTSD: if you have a rape victim with severa agoraphobia, you can slowly train their amygdala into NOT stimulating the cingulate cortex and thus not triggering panic attacks by desensitizing them to open spaces or the outside, until the link between "outside" and "being attacked" ceases to exist in the brain.

That, IMO, is how SJWs make themselves sick, and make others around them sick, with an acquired mental disorder.
