I just got a friend request from someone with no mutual friends (no friends at all actually)- usually this is a fake hot chick profile created for some sort of spam reasons... this time, it's just baffling. No profile picture, and only one wall post, went ahead and anonymized it in case this is a real human being:

I'll say from experience it's pretty terrible.

The worst part for me was going from a situation general culture knew how to deal with (new dad!) to one that pretty much no one in a first world country knows how to approach- stillbirths probably result in a shitload of social media idiocy, but that poo poo should get a pass.

so I'm about to defriend this dipshit; can't really remember why we're Facebook friends. I'm involved in local standup comedy, so it's probably a friend of a comic or someone who came to a show or whatever. There's something about this guy that goes beyond the usual idiot.

the image that made my eyes roll so hard I hit unfriend:


the usual :words:


alright so he hates socialism and 'Comrade Obama' and government handouts but


...okay so maybe he's sort of a centrist democra--


No. Just an idiot. An idiot on social media.

so close! so very very close!

If your scene is like mine, it was one of the comics. And it will be his closer.

yeah Kansas City isn't exactly the most progressive scene, and this guy's from Independence, MO, where he's practically a bleeding heart.
That said, I don't think this guy was a comic; he never struck me as the kind of guy that has the guts to get behind a microphone, and he's just too bland. I have another Facebook friend (also from Independence) who is a local comic, and posts chemtrail/NWO/Dees/WAKE UP bullshit, but is also funny enough to keep on my feed.

He (she? no, definitely he) unironically typed "maregina."

I was going to reply that I'm pretty sure there's some irony here like they could be really into ponies but are clearly mocking the fandom nonetheless but then I clicked on the blog

The idea is that there isn't anything (or at least not enough) to differentiate between a scantily clad woman who's nothing but a piece of gently caress-meat and a scantily clad woman who's independent and free to self express. Kind of like the idea that there isn't anything different between a woman wearing a burka because she's subservient to her husband/father and a woman wearing a burka because she wants respect in a male-dominated society.

I guess the major difference comes from being in a country like the US where you're free to dress scantily or in a shapeless robe, or a country like Afghanistan or France where you're not given the option.

I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she has some kind of medical condition purely because of how weirdly distributed her fat is. She goes from a perfectly normal head, to broad-shouldered, to obese, to oh jesus what has happened here.

Dated someone with roughly the same body type, but like closer to 160 lbs so there wasn't any cellulite overflow going on; waist-up, looked like an average sized lady, waist-down it was like BA-DOW
pretty great except she was terrible and petty and hadthese BPS mood swings that describing makes me feel like a 1950s misogynist

anyway, probably not a condition, but I don't really care- I think it's cool for ladies to wear whatever they want and feel safe doing it, no skin off my bones

I have two friends on Facebook who recently started dating. Within the last month or so. And now literally every post (multiple posts a day, each) is about "Teehee, we're sooooo in ~love~." I really wish I wasn't serious about the literally part.

you know I have been in that kind of tunnelvision love where you do dumb poo poo that in antero- and retrospect seems really gross and awful
unironically touching noses and stuff
sending cutesy texts
excessive public physical contact
etc etc etc
so I've been there, and I get it, and I suspect a lot of you have and do, too-

but yeah I agree it's super obnoxious on Facebook and I don't know if that's because I'm sensible or because I'm getting old

in my experience working at a couple convenience stores run by US citizens born elsewhere, the management tends to be South Asian and only sometimes Muslim but I realize that's a super advanced topic for whoever made/posted that

(One of my friends works for a Pakistani dude who owns a convenience mart, liquor store and pizza place. Every Ramadan his family shares these awesome after-sundown Iftar feasts with their nonbeliever employees and are generally known around town as being pretty great people.)

I mean you could extend the fallacy further. "Oh I see you're tweeting about a tragic shooting and ensuing riot in St Louis but I you're pretty quiet about the thousands being massacred in Iraq/Syria/Gaza right now hmmmmmmm guess you just hate Arabs and Kurds"

Speaking of the ice bucket challenge, one of the girls I never speak to has liked Buzzfeed's page so I'm inundated with posts from them, every single one going, "Shut it down! [Blank] has won! This is the best ALS ice bucket challenge I've ever seen!" So far, it's been Chris Pratt, Charlie Sheen, Britney Spears, Patrick Stewart, and now Benedict Cumberbatch (the last two were on the same day). There will continue to be ALS awareness videos, each of them "better". Stop saying that. gently caress you Buzzfeed.

that said, my friend Joe totally won
