I mean it makes sense in a world where giant pharmaceutical companies basically created an opioid epidemic that they would invent a need for vaccines.

It makes sense that if the government would invent a rationale for invading Iraq that they would let 9/11 happen.

It makes sense that if every other celebrity or politician is revealed to be a sex pest that some of them are getting together to trade kids.

Individual people are generally powerless, and it’s easy to feel like the world is moving on without you and actual politics is meaningless. Conspiracy theories let you “fight back”.

it was a thing for them too but Boomers still by and large have personal experience with polio beyond just like ignoring their high school history teacher mentioning FDR had it

Boomers actually experienced awful poo poo like polio and measles. That would lead to a very different point of view compared to somebody whose worst experience with disease was knowing someone who got the turboshits from a cruiseline buffet.

My boyfriend (28m) wants me (22f) to take down an "embarrassing" and "ugly" Instagram picture that got very popular

quote:

My boyfriend is really into Instagram, he is a personal trainer / life coach and he gets a lot of clients through social media, plus some brand deals. We have each other's pages linked in our bio's, as boyfriend and girlfriend, but I'm not as intense about IG as he is. He occasionally asks me to post something, I guess me being on there is a part of his image, and I just post something I have queued up. I just post nature and workout related stuff occasionally. I generally don't post pictures of my face or body, it's just not the type of photography I enjoy. I like taking pictures of the woods, animals, or other people, better. This will be important later on.

I do krav maga, and sometimes the gym owner will take candid pictures of the classes for the gym's social media pages. I noticed after looking through them that I have a tendancy to make funny faces when I'm totally in the zone. Especially if I'm gasping for breath or grimacing from getting hit, or trying really hard to focus on something and kinda screwing my face up.

I thought that was funny, I didn't feel all that self conscious about it. I know I've got a pretty expressive face in general so it wasn't too surprising. And I thought it would be funny to crop close around my face in each picture and make a collage of my funny faces for my Instagram. They weren't cute or attractive at all, but I thought they might make my friends laugh.

I posted it on Instagram with the caption "Krav Maga Checklist... Gym clothes. Water bottle. Gloves. WAR FACE 😠😠😠." And a couple hashtags... It turned out to be my most liked post ever, by far. It went way beyond entertaining my friends, a lot of new people followed me. It went kind of viral.

I'd not given it too much thought, but then my boyfriend texted me to ask what the gently caress I'd posted the day before. I was like "uhh just the funny faces I've been caught making at the gym" He asked me to take it down, it was embarrassing and ugly and it was affecting his "brand" which I found ridiculous, I don't figure anyone cares about his brand enough to insta stalk his girlfriend, and find one silly picture collage, and judge him on that. He got really irritated that I thought nobody would.

I asked why the picture was that embarrassing anyway, loads of people liked it and probably thought it was funny. He said it was ugly and embarrassing and just weird that I'd collect the worst possible pictures of myself, and put them out for the world to see. I was just like "hey that's just what my face looks like sometimes, I'm not gonna be embarrassed of my own drat face"

So... I still have the picture up, my boyfriend is still not a fan of that. I feel a little crappy that he thinks it's embarrassing. And I don't know how to explain that to him because I don't really even know why it bothers me so much. Does he have a point that my post would somehow hurt his brand? Should I get over myself and not feel so weird about this disagreement?

baby, you're hurting my brand by not making a sexy face all the time

I mean he’s probably right about his brand, he’s just wrong in a deeper and truer way, for having an involvement in Instagram brands or caring about it

To be fair, Boomers were in their single digits when the polio vaccine came out in the US. It's their parents who saw most of it.

it was still a thing in the US up until the late 70s and little kids with polio still (sometimes) grow up to be adults crippled by polio.

It took time to get everybody vaccinated and the polio victims weren't cured by the vaccine.

Also, parents tend to play a role in teaching kids. It takes a few generations for a society to unlearn things.

I thought she was throwing them out. That's why she ran out of her own socks and moved on to his. In that case she wouldn't want him to see the laundry because he might realize there were no socks in it

But also, although it is gross as hell and I don't suggest spending much time contemplating it, parents who use cloth diapers mostly wash the diapers themselves

But how is that sustainable? I mean, she starts in on her sock drawer and taps it after two weeks of making GBS threads 0-2 times a day then starts in on his drawer and hits bottom after another 2 weeks.

How does she do this for the long term without ordering the twenty pack of Kirklands from Costco?

Do you guys not have wash cloths in your neck of the woods? Scrap of flannel, soap it up, scrub your pits and bits, jam it in the washing machine and go again.
This, coupled with the one about the "scraps of towel My GOD can't she use something more disposable" is a really loving weird mindset to me.

I think she must have while she was living alone. The question is why, this time, didn't she just replace hers before dipping so heavily into his? She could have kept it secret for years!

In my opinion, the time is ripe to make a sequel to the weird as Hell 1940 movie The Ape:

Boris Karloff plays a doctor trying to cure Polio, but a circus ape escapes and destroys his research; he kills the Ape in self-defense then wears its skin to murder people and steal their spinal fluid because he desperately wants to cure a nice young lady.
