im gay posted:Someone is having a meltdown on my feed. I unfriended someone once over something similar (I think it was gay marriage). Something like "if you believe in gay marriage go ahead and unfriend me because reasons." So I did. A few days later got an angry message in my other folder demanding to know why I unfriended him. I was honest, so of course he had to start an argument about gay marriage. Bro, if you wanted to argue about it, why did you ask us to delete you because you didn't want to argue about it?

darkwasthenight posted:Some poo poo on IFLS was floating round FB the other day and I cannot be persuaded it's not a parody. Having known some physicists irl they're not a breed known for their personal skills and this is the worst idea ever. My mom shared this on my page today. I didn't open the link but I can recognize some of the text from the preview. Is this her way of saying she wants to be remembered? Put that poo poo in a will, mom, your daughter is a lawyer and she's not going to listen to facebook posts as final wishes. Ahhhh I should probably talk to her about writing a living will. She's only 60 but she's kind of flaky so I doubt she has one. Never easy to talk about it but it's better than forwarding some poo poo on facebook and hoping that gets honored as your final wishes.

Lottery of Babylon posted:I see many people saying "turkey day" This bothers me too. I guess this belongs in the pet peeve thread, but turkey day is just kinda gross to me, probably because I'm a recently-returning vegetarian. We're at the point where even Halloween is being crushed by Christmas, and Thanksgiving or "turkey day" is just the official point of permission to the assholes who've been talking about Christmas since August to feel justified.* Putting the whole thing on a dead bird kind of kills the spirit of the holiday. *I really don't hate Christmas, I think it's a very nice time of year and I love seeing trees and buildings all lit up. But the more and earlier people talk about it, the more over it I am. Also, I really can't be the only one who loves to get down with a shorty, right? I'm 5'6" and 5'8" is a perfect height for me. 6'0" and I start to feel a little dwarfed. Don't want those shorties? Send 'em to me. I'm definitely not alone--I know several men who are even shorter than me dating lovely tall girls because they are handsome, kind, and fun to be around. Basically, if you're cool and don't get all hissy over a girl wearing heels or being taller than you (I've known guys who do this), it won't matter how tall you are to most people.

I bought a parachute off a guy from a Facebook skydiving group and he added me. Seems like a nice guy and he posts a lot of useful skydiving stuff--not just stuff for sale, but articles, advice, etc. I really don't want to unfriend or hide him because of the skydiving stuff but he posts anti-Muslim hate at least five times a day. Some of it is "ah, come on, it's just a [tasteless, racist, unfunny] joke!" but some of it is outright fearmongering and hatred. So far I've just been blocking individual pages he posts from, but if he keeps on, eventually the crap posts will outweigh the useful ones.

I have a facebook acquaintance--she dated a friend of mine for a year--who seems pretty harmless. Her facebook feed is mostly just 4 or 5 of those "OMG I NEED COFFEE" or "I can't live without wine, tee-hee!" or "OMG you guys I'm like so sarcastic and I hate everyone, jk you're cool!"or "I'm going to murder every one of my coworkers today, but it's okay because I am putting it in someecard format!" per day. It's mostly just annoying, but then we got treated to this bit of TMI today. Um, okay? Thanks for letting us know, I guess? Honestly, her feed is so negative with some of these "jokes" kind of make me a little more positive, because it makes me realize that when I'm grumpy I get really close to sounding just like these memes.

Soviet Commubot posted:I see it all the time on Facebook, I grew up in a very rural area and lots of people have latched onto redneckery as their only real identity. It's a constant stream of poo poo like a picture of a super nice cabin with "share if you'd rather live here than in the city" or a bonfire with "share if you'd rather do this than go to a nightclub". Since rural communities have been slowly drying up and blowing away their whole lives I guess they feel like their identity is threatened. Hey, I have this girl on my friends list too! She's my niece's boyfriend's sister and she's very nice, but I swear next time I see her post something from Cute 'n' Country or Just Country Girl Things, I may strain my eyeballs from rolling them. The best part is...I don't think she ever goes outside and really does anything. Most of the people who post stuff like this don't really get out. Hell, I live in the bay area, about the most prissy environment there is, I mean we're talking people standing in line for two hours to eat a mediocre ice cream sandwich because it's really trendy right now. Yet the people that live here are more likely to get outside and work or play than she is. We may not bale hay or ride tractors, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't either.

china bot posted:My dad's side of the family is entirely Sicilian. They all live in southern Michigan, which is where they've ALWAYS lived since moving from Sicily, and in the past 20 years they have all developed redneck accents and now wear camo to every family gathering I dated an Indian guy, in the bay area, who wanted so badly to be a redneck that he voted straight Republican, wore more flannel than an actual cowboy could possibly own, drove a beat-up old pickup truck he couldn't restore because he didn't actually work on cars, listened to country music exclusively, had a military fetish to the point of making us all wait for coffee that he made over an illicit campfire using equipment he got at army surplus when there was a coffee shop ten feet away, and took speech therapy lessons to rid himself of his accent. When he ultimately married a white woman, she wore a sari to their very traditional Indian wedding. I have no idea if she's a redneck too, or if he is still acting out his cowboy fantasies. From what I hear they're happy, so good for them.

I witnessed an IOSM in real life this weekend while skydiving. I don't know if the guy forgot I was the only woman on the plane (it's a small Cessna so we have a long ascent and we talk about random poo poo on the way up), or if he didn't think I'd care but he was bitching about the reboot of Ghostbusters, and his first complaint was about the all-female cast. I piped up "oh no, a movie with GIRLS?! No women allowed in our treehouse!" He backpedaled pretty quickly and insisted he was bummed because it could never be as good as the original and wouldn't match the subtle humor of Bill Murray. He's an otherwise cool guy and gave me a high-five for my retort, so I'll let it slide, but I'm glad I spoke up. If I had let it go without saying anything, he might think I agree with him.

I wonder what the Venn diagram of "no men in the bathroom with my daughter/wife/granddaughter!" men, and those who harass strange women on the street, would look like. I don't have a lot of hateful people on my feed, but if any of them uses the slippery slope argument that "anyone could put on a dress and molest children!" I'll be sure to point out that the same is true of a priest's collar. I did see this today, though, so :

chitoryu12 posted:If I remember my reading right, a lot of it depends on training the people involved until they revert to their trained motions in a fight-or-flight situation instead of most people's lovely instincts. Instead of reverting to flailing or freezing up, they revert to following their instilled training. This can unfortunately lead to some problems with things like poorly trained police officers: they get taught to fear civilians because "Anyone at a traffic stop could just whip out a gun and blow your head off for no reason!" and aren't given as much time learning peaceful conflict resolution and negotiation. When they panic, they revert to training that basically tells them to scream and point a gun at whoever's threatening them, or tackle them to the ground and wrench their arms around. I can't speak to any kind of fight or assault situation, but in my limited experience parachuting, we have to be prepared for a malfunction at any time. Even though I haven't had a high-speed or life-threatening malfunction, on my very first student jump I had semi-serious line twists, and after only a day of drilling, I remembered how to get out of it. I'm always afraid of panicking during an emergency, but you'd be surprised how easily your training comes back to you. Whether it's turbulence, another canopy nearby, or unexpected stuff in your landing area, you manage to remain calm until you make it to the ground, then strut around with false bravado about how "it really wasn't that big a deal landing in the prison yard" while internally shaking like a leaf and making GBS threads your pants. So basically, muscle memory, drilling, and not panicking really make a difference in whether you lose your poo poo and spray everyone with bullets or are able to keep your composure. I know there's not a huge parallel between parachuting and a dangerous fight situation, both involve staying calm in dangerous situations.

Sanguinary Novel posted:Scensty is on it's way out, but I keep seeing poo poo for those wraps and one person I know is super into the Dove chocolate thing. So imagine those really dumb minion memes your parents post, but with a sales pitch for dove chocolate at the end of it. As in, the gross, waxy Dove chocolate that is sold in regular stores? What is this new scam? A woman I met once and followed on Instagram some time ago is now a "beachbody coach." She even changed her instagram handle (which I didn't know you could do!) from "randomname" to "name_fitmom." Every post is about fitness and beachbody products and shakes and workouts, usually combined with a picture of her kid. It's like all of Pinterest in every post. The workouts are quite good--I can still barely complete an Insanity workout, and I work out intensely at least 6 days a week--but it's a total scam.

That is exactly what they think. "How can you let a stranger raise your kids?!" Because if you're not spending every second smothering your children instead of socializing them and preparing them for the world, you're not a REAL MOMTM.

Yea the "my mom 'moved out of her body' so she wouldn't look like me" angle is a little too self-serving for my liking. She literally said she felt "betrayed" by her own mother. Sorry if this hits too close to home to someone, but other people who are thinner/fitter/healthier have body issues too, and if they want to fix them, it's not a personal insult to anyone else.

I have a facebook friend who I barely know, whose girlfriend is named Lakyn. He's very excited to have a girlfriend and he tags her in just about everything he posts. "Hillary? More like KILLary! LOL Rite Lakyn?!" I cringe so hard every time. I should probably hide him but he goes several weeks without posting anything so I forget about him, and then goes on a 2-3 day posting rampage. I barely know the guy and I have never met Lakyn but I already don't like her because of her name and also he posts the most inane garbage ever. Trucks, guns, snakes, Lakyn, and hating liberals is as far as his mind can stretch.

Freaquency posted:I'll never understand that mentality. We're these guys such a terror as a teenager that they regard every man who looks their daughter's way with such suspicion? Probably. Ladies in the thread, raise your hands if your dad ever told you "I know how teenage boys think; I was one once." I know what my dad was like as a teenager, and my teenage boyfriend was the polar opposite, thankfully. A couple of facebook friends are going at it right now, or were--one of them is an older competitive pole dancer with a killer body, and the other is a young nanny who also has a killer body. At some point they had an issue with each other and (some suspect) the young one reported the old one on facebook because her facebook name is a pseudonym referring to her rear end. She was asked to change her name or shut down her page, she appealed and won. That should be the end of it, right? But no, in celebration, the pole dancer (who by all rights looks amazing) has decided to post a new picture every day of her rear end. I lasted five days before unfollowing her. It's a very nice rear end and she's a very nice lady, but I've met her exactly once and I feel like I know her rear end more intimately than her face at this point. She's blocked the younger woman who allegedly reported her, so it's not like that girl is seeing her celebratory rear end pics anyway. I mean hell, I'm 37 and definitely have the capacity to be petty and childish at times, but this is a bit much. On a lighter note, a guy I met once posted a picture of his back covered in scratches from his adventures the night before. I used to get a lot of unsolicited friend requests from friends of friends or complete strangers who are in the same sport as me, and I made the rule to not add anyone until I've met them at least once. I may have to extend that rule to 5 times or more. I feel like I should know you a little better before I'm privy to your sex habits or your asscheeks.

I keep seeing people sharing the text of the (current) pledge of allegiance, with "UNDER GOD" in all caps, preceded and followed by USUSUSUSUSUS in a weird font. The first time I saw it, it was from my nutty Bible-thumper great-aunt, but some sane people have shared it too. I don't know if they're trying to throw Christianity/theism at us, or if they're trying to show a sense of unity, or want peace, or are just being weird. Anyone else seen this?
