It's been a while. It's the Idiots on Social Media thread! Previously the Idiots on Facebook thread, it's been expanded to include sites like Twitter and any other social media hubs. Social media? Does Tumblr count as social media? Yes and no. Tumblr has been posted here with little issue in the past, but this is not the Tumblr mock thread. Those threads end up crashing and burning, because criticizing social justice and leftism leads to arguments about said issues, which is better left for D&D. Before you post something from Tumblr, remind yourself that this is not the thread for a debate, and then consider whether or not you should post it. Usually the answer is no. RULES FOR THE THREAD OKAY 1. Censor people's names. This hasn't been much of an issue in the past, but if you post something that really pisses someone off, they might try to find that person online and berate them in some fashion. If it's a public page, no censorship needed. 2. Don't touch the poop. This mostly involves other people's timelines, but also your own. There's no need to distance yourselves from acquaintances and relatives over an internet forum. 3. Don't derail. 4. Seriously, don't derail. This thread is filled with ridiculous dumb images and people, you don't need to play devils advocate. For example, someone might post a comic about veganism, implying that people who drink milk are worse than Hitler. Goofus responds "I don't know why this thread is suddenly for animal cruelty." Gallant responds "I'm a vegan, and that's dumb as poo poo." Don't be Goofus. People keep posting Facebook screencaps with puns instead of actual names, what is that about? That would be Social Fixer. It's a faster way to cover up identities before mocking people. I prefer to use MS Paint, but to each his own. Now, for content.  I found an actual "lyke dis if u cry evrtyme" in the wild. I didn't even think people shared them anymore.  Remember, if you say every single sign is really good at the sex, people who are that sign will be more likely to share it! Seriously, did they think people wouldn't read all the other ones?  Hm.  Trump doesn't say enough dumb poo poo? We have to start making up stuff now? Like Latins would be going to the polls for him in droves regardless.   Uhh...okay buddy. I'm not a fan of Netanyahu, but saying poo poo like "Hitler: 0 Jews: 7" sounds right out of a holocaust denier's playbook.

 MINIMUM wage, people. The wage increase isn't just for the burger flippers. Feel free to get offended anyway. Also, protip: most firefighters make more than $11 an hour.

 It's true, the idea that the future could possibly be worse than the past is exclusively a 21st century idea. Also, what is that supposed to be? Nuclear wasteland? Because that specific fear has been going on since the cold war.

ratbert90 posted:I have resorted to just straight up asking for peer reviewed articles on whatever bullshit some fear mongering bigot has to say about Muslims. 99% of the time they hand wave, call me an idiot, or straight up refuse to acknowledge that their bullshit is bullshit. True. Sometimes when I get bored I enjoy going into racist threads on 4chan and getting into arguments, because I'm wasting my life. If you've ever been to these threads, they post images with statistics proving that black people are worse than white people, with a long url as the source. I proceed to type out that url, and as the person posting the image to tell me exactly where there saw that information because it's not in the link they posted. People get super pissed, calling me a libtard or whatever term they use for "non-racist" and I say they talk pretty big for people who don't include sources for their claims. That's when they lose it, it's pretty fun. I mean, maybe you might be on the wrong side of an issue if you have to make up everything to support your claim? Just saying.

CommonShore posted:I'm teaching a brief unit on social media in a college communications class in a few weeks. The main piece of advice I'm giving them is to not post whatever it is if the caption could be "lol so true" or if they'd defend it by saying "god, it's just a joke, u don't have 2b so serious." You should use the money face in your class.  Made by a goon trying to create a parody of those types of images, ended up being shared unironically by tons of people. Not sure what your class is on, money face is just amazing

 Usually I don't mind this kind of stuff that makes people feel better about grief and mourning, but this is just so utterly far fetched. Every time someone dropped a penny on the ground it means a dead person is chucking coins at you? A belief in the supernatural is fine, but this just seems like the most gullible thing possible.

In the original version of the comic, as insipid as it was, the bad thing was at leastl trampling and kicking actual people: Man, I hate Ben Garrison opinions, but I feel really bad for him as it became 4chan's mission to libel him for some reason. https://thenib.com/the-internet-s-most-trolled-cartoonist-91a92d9b7585#.jms16wnl6 This is a good read, it's a comic detailing what happened to him.

FreudianSlippers posted:Years ago when I worked retail I'd sometimes amuse myself by asking people who were very obviously older than 50 for ID when they bought cigarettes. Man, I work at a liquor store, and some people hate being carded. I had a lengthy conversation with someone recently where they were confused that I was carding them for alcohol. I said we had to check everyone who looked under 35. He asked why, and I said that people will come in and check to make sure you're doing your job, and if you don't card them then you get fired. "But obviously I'm over 21." Yes, we just went through this! I have to card people who look even older than you. Then there was the time a literal physical fight broke out between an employee and a customer over being carded. Good poo poo. Don't protest when people card you, goons.

il_cornuto posted:White liberal complacency in a definite problem though. There's a definite tendency for hand wringing over problems without committing to any solutions. Fair enough, but she certainly fits that bill of white liberal complacency, so I found it hypocritical. I should also mention that even though she has pale white skin and her hair is completely straight, she's a small fraction black, so she thinks that she has to deal with the same problems that people of color have to, which is really more the thing that pissed me off. Some more context would have been helpful, apologies.

Not to say that all the "Love your heritage" people are totally racist, but the image of a conventionally attractive aryan woman along with that message seems like it's geared toward this idea of the purity of the white race.

Out of all the right wing memes, I will never, never, never, never get tired of "liberals are the real racists." Especially because they so often imply that black people don't know what's good for them by voting democrat. Which, by the way Is racist Seriously, this guy used the term "black fools" while insulting the democratic party for being racist. I mean, gently caress, Donald Trump is in the lead still, maybe that's why non-white people don't want to vote republican. Maybe, just MAYBE, the parties have shifted over the last decade. IT COULD VERY WELL BE POSSIBLE, JUST THROWING OUT IDEAS HERE It's the weakest argument the republicans have, and they keep using it, because they really truly think that black people don't vote for republicans because they're dumb. Which again Is racist
