I’m FB friends with a high school friend’s mom who went through a divorce and is very religious and posts inspirational Jesus stuff and Minions memes a lot. She recently posted photos of herself having lost over 200 lbs and looking much happier since I saw her 10 years ago, and the joy I felt was worth the stupid memes. :unsmith:

It's bizarre, if you go to the "Al Franken" trending topic on Twitter, it's entirely comprised of Democrats saying he should resign and Republicans saying that Democrats aren't saying he should resign.

Hey just throwing it out there that there are in fact people out there defending Frankin talking about various ways on how what he did doesn't actually count and like, even if they are twitter randos who don't actually mean anything, ignoring that they exist is kinda hosed

I've just seen that tweet a lot today and I'm sick and tired of it and people acting like there's no problem at all

E: I also get that a good 90% of the people talking about it are acting in very bad faith, but man, just outright dismissal probably isn't the best idea

In the third grade all the other kids were accusing each other of saying the "F word" and I didn't know what it was so I asked my mom, and she was so flustered she wrote it down, and then I read it, sorta confused about what was the big deal, so she whispered it into my ear like it was this huge secret, then told me that it stood for "Fornication Under Consent of the King" which confused me even more.

So I guess replace 'harm' with 'confuse' and vulgarity for sure has an effect on children.

If the king is fine with your fornication why is it a rude word? The king told you it was ok!

I enjoy the "when did we as a society become so loving pathetic we can't handle harrassment"?

The first time. The first time someone harassed someone. "Handling" harrassment is either giving in or fighting back, and usually only the former is a possibility.

Same. I'm not a big facebook comment/like person, but I like seeing those people's regular posts and knowing that they're ok and doing well, and the iNsPiRaTiOnAl poo poo stays or goes with those regular posts.

I used to do that to a few people because they were former co-workers of mine and they had a really rough time. One got into bodybuilding, losing 100 pounds in the process and she keeps me encouraged to go to the gym all the time. Actually lost 70 pounds thanks to her motivation stuff.

The other 2 just got into MLM because they kept getting fired from call centers so it went from inspirational quotes to "join my team" memes every day with videos and pictures using their overpriced bullshit products.

This can apply to any conservative in any country. In Sweden at least 5 tweets would follow that first with “its them gosgdern Syrians and their terroristcult at work!” I’ve seen this as explanations for random blackouts, delayed trains, police officers getting bad food during duty (literally a news story in Sweden today), etc.

Crap UK viral "brand" UNILAD has been booted off Facebook. Someone said they reported a thread about that dead rapper as the comments were toxic, and it looks like they killed the whole account.

This can mean literally anything. I've seen "they violated the rules" reply to my reports, "thank you for reporting", in some cases both, (the latter following the former) and I've still never seen an account that would be suspended even if they said it violated something.
