I have many issues with social media but if you use it for what it was meant, lulz, then its not too bad. unfortunately i know way too many people who think its a god given tool for social activism and the constantly flood my news feed with injustice this and injustice that. normally i ignore it but once in a while ill call them out and start WW3 on purpose.... call me self indulgent but honestly, how many causes can you possibly be that passionate about? like really? One friend in particular posted no less than 15 massive status updates regarding 15 different social justice issues in a single afternoon.... mind you, none of them that i particularly cared about.. but fuck, even king richard picked one crusade to go after at a time..... cant fight all the battles...
If you are into the whole hipster "i wanna stand for every goddamn social perceived injustice issue" movement, have at it, enjoy your drum circles and support groups and what have you, but dont get all hairy muffed over the fact that not everyone A: takes these things seriously on F Book and B: thinks that this issue is the biggest calamity since the holocaust. I made some witty comments on a particular post by a friend of mine regarding giant wooden cock vandalism of russian anti government activist as im sure everyone would agree that it is quite ironic that pro government fag hating types would retaliate against a kremlin critic by attaching a giant wooden cock to their car..... but oh no, that comment created a bigger shit storm than the time i changed my F Book profile picture to a photo of Darth Vader pointing at Leia with a caption of "You, get back to the kitchen and make me a sandwich" on international womens day..... (i didn't really help myself by responding to every angry female comment with different toppings i wanted on my sandwich, if they cant take a joke, fuck them)
I guess in general, i am just frustrated that people have become so deluded that they believe that everyone should like each photo of their lunch / new baby / stupid selfie or take everything and anything seriously that gets posted on social media. Then there is the whole other issue where people actually believe that anyone really cares what the hell they do with themselves every day. Congratulations on going to starbucks, reading half a book, doing your dishes and cuddling with your cat, you are clearly a beacon of light and hope for humanity......

Yeah, I’d like to know what horrible, scarring incident in your childhood turned you into such an ignorant, intellectual-hating philistine? |

This is a decidedly unfunny post about how seriously you don't take something.
