She did lick a doughnut and put it back on the shelf, which is weird and horrible, but now is probably not the time to focus on that stuff tbqhumble.

My friend sent me this from a Vegan facebook group posted this morning she follows. She told the lady to delete this so it’s no longer there BUT STILL.

Oh such bullshit. Almost enough to make me want to start eating animals again.

Isn’t it completely bonkers???

Unfortunately, it’s not the first time I’ve seen that argument deployed by militant vegans. Just glad it’s not Morrissey spouting it this time.

Was literally about to say ā€œDidn’t know Morrissey posted on Facebookā€.

Was going to write something about how unpalatable I find social media in the aftermath of events like last night with the streams of awful rhetoric / #prayforxxx posts, but couldn’t find the words that didn’t make me come across as an unfeeling, insensitive dick.

I guess ultimately it’s because I generally internalise things that I don’t feel almost duty bound to publicly display my horror, shock, anger and grief. I will occasionally produce a sentence or two in a safe space…

Anyway, sorry. Shit post.

Don’t agree it’s shit.

Totally agree with the other stuff - it’s probably due a bigger discussion of how people deal with trauma in the digital age but that’s stepping into post-graduate theisis territory.

Aye, am not a graduate, so anything beyond that is definitely out!

really, viscerally despise the ā€˜what about Syria’ takes that tend to follow after tragedies like last night. very tempted to go in on someone on my fbk timeline who always does it. instead i’m going to vent here. it might be done with the best intentions (actually doubt it is), but i think it actually makes them look the opposite to how they think they’re coming across. it points to an empathy deficit to take something like this and make some ā€˜i’m the smartest person in your fbk feed’ point about it. at the very least it could wait, i dunno, 24 hours? fucking muppets.

people who aren’t exactly alt-right, but have watched, like, one paul joseph watson video one of their dickhead friends shared, and now have one phrase, like regressive left, or virtue signalling, that they just use ALL THE FUCKING TIME

sometimes you need an insensitive dick to vocalise it

Yeah, that pretty well nails it.

Yeah, I’ve had one of these. He actually made a crass joke first then deleted it.

A post was merged into an existing topic: A Gaming Thread For 2017

sharing a photo (not even screenshot) of a facebook post is fucking unacceptable, regardless of content

ā€œplease rethink if you are going to Ed Sheeranā€ is pretty good advice though, tbh tbf.
