Seen this shared at least twice now. Every bullshit fact is prefixed with "science has studied" or similar and I guess that rigorous sourcing is enough for at least 3 people on my facebook. :(

Presenting evidence that a prominent poet in the 1300s eschewed conventional rules of English spelling and grammar as a way to argue against complaints from modern folk that people these days are not the best at communicating in English? I've never heard of such a thing! How novel! For all intensive purposes, you've decimated any argument I could of come up with as a rebuttal, but I could care less

.....Who's White House Correspondents' Dinner was it?
....Executive order number 13603 - Obama can seize any resource, property, or person at any time for any reason, including forcing that Person with labors without being paid. He ordered 30,000 Guillotines, hollow point bullets, for his army, and spent a billion dollars for disposable plastic coffins, that hold three or four bodies. His number one goal, take guns away from American citizens.
...Like Obama, the Nazis formed a living unity. Each individual was a fragment of the group. Individual possessions were regarded as the groups wealth. Goebbels - submit the "I" to the thou. The "way of life" was to sacrifice the individual for the whole. Follow the politicians with blind faith.
...Obama, is following Hitlers plan. Because he downsized the regular military and created a superior army - his UN and youth army. Both Obama and Hitler took control of the news media, and put programs in the public schools, such as common core - in order to de-emphasize intellectual training. Both created illegal FEMA, death camps.
...Obama is using a stolen social security number, a fraudulent birth certificate. Therefore, its time to stop pretending like Obama's legally the president of the United States.
..A special thanks to Judge Jeanine Pirro, Clint Eastwood, Donald Trump, and the world leaders who support America - when "we the People" and the Constitution of the United States is being used, as the law of the land.

This was on Facebook and links to an article about Eric Trump responding to Obama's Trump jokes at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Also, now I know what schizophrenia feels like.

Low hanging fruit:

quote:

Obama is a racist with white people he said in his speech that he was runing late tonight because that he was on CPT and he said that means that it jokes that white people should not make.himmm i say that's is being a racist do you and im very offended by it.and that's why im voting for Trump.Go Trump


Inexplicable:

quote:

Though Obama's intent was to have fun by delivering humorous jokes at his last Correspondent's Dinner, it rubbed me the wrong way. I think it's great that he has a sense of humor, but what isn't funny, is that he is still America's President. Without getting into any detail about what has or hasn't happened during his two terms, I find this speech appalling. Not once does he address the American People in which he was hired by. He uses "race card" to joke on another "race" which only helps influence division in our country. He uses the stage to "Burn" Sanders and Trump with the very style in which he has shunned. He shares with everyone a Video Skit full of mockery... (WTF, we're paying you to run this country and you're doing this?)
To keep it short... The last thing our American President has to say, "Obama out." (with a mic drop)
This is not funny or cute. This is a disrespectful slap in the face. Again, I am appalled.

Hot take of the day: siding against Trump is victim blaming


sinners always be wanting to treat transgendered people like people

also itt: trying really hard to seem enlightened and charitible about marginalizing transgendered people (There's about a dozen other posts that are incredibly long trying to justify their opinion on transgender people using bathrooms as not bigoted, it's about privacy and biology! but we can have unisex bathrooms as long as there's also still REAL WOMEN ONLY bathrooms, we're being charitable here!)

I was reading an article about the new Radiohead single when I stumbled across this pompous windbag. At first I thought it was one of those Redditor parodies with the fedora that you see on Youtube, but on closer inspection (googling their username) appears to be an actual older lady wearing some kind of medieval-y hat, who appears to have nothing to do but pontificate on the Guardian comments.



I can only paraphrase the Simpsons: the stick up this woman's rear end has a stick up its rear end.

Look at how stiff and uncomfortable the other guy is. I bet that his expression is one of barely repressed anguish.

Mine are the opposite. I got a friend request from the dude I had a crush on in middle school, and his wall is nonstop arguing with his girlfriend, showing off horrible kitchen tattoos, and random photos of his kid. His profile picture is him smoking inside one of those gas mask/bong combos. He used to be such a nice guy :(

Not even this. If anything, they probably don't even remember you from school but see that you are enough mutual friends and maybe, just maybe you took French together. It isn't out of the ordinary for people to try friend other people on Facebook that they hardly knew/remember.

That's where my entertainment comes from. Apparently this chick was in photography with me, but I don't remember her. She got pregnant a lot, every once in a while "leaves" her husband with whatever kids fit in the van, drives 200 miles to post selfies in the dressing room of a JC Penny's at an out-of-town mall, saying she looks hot. Then she comes home.

Lately it's been quiet and she's posting a lot of epic bong rip videos.

I mean, the ice bucket thing was the essence of a silly social media trend but it also raised a ton of attention and, more importantly, money for a relatively unknown disease. It gave the main foundation more fundraising than they'd received in like the past 10 years and directly helped a lot of people, like my dad. So I can't complain too much.

The push-ups are dumb though.

Either they don't remember (or don't think) that they were a 'bully' to you and just think 'hey, I kinda know that person from school or something' and send you a friend request or they're trying to reach out to you to apologise for their lovely behaviour (or be absolved of their lovely behaviour by you forgiving them).

No, that poo poo is weird too. I get the most confused looks when friends mention some tabloid about a celebrity and I say I have no idea what they are talking about. Like somehow I'm strange for caring who Kanye West is dating.
