This is one of the best life imitating art examples I can think of.

Someone from my school often posts ‘rules for dating my daughter’ memes, basically a list of really strict rules accompanied by threats of violence for breaking them. Always found it really weird, his kid is just a baby and he is already thinking about being a controlling dad and beating up people. Anyway he posted one the other day which had one rule basically ‘my daughter will make her own rules and not need my help to kick you to the curb’. Interested in what caused the change of tone, whether he realised it was weird on his own, someone gave him a talking to, or whether he will just share any post in the ‘rules for dating my daughter’ format

Have always found all this really weird and am now having to deal with it because I have a daughter, even though she’s literally a baby people still make weird comments like “Oh she’ll be a heartbreaker, you’ll have to keep her locked up, I bet you’ll never let her near any boys lol!” and it’s like wtf she’s not even one you freak.

I’m not going to screenshot it, for obvious reasons, but this morning I can see a number of Happy Birthday messages on the timeline of a friend… who died of cancer three months ago.

Yesterday we held an event to celebrate his life, attended by loads of his friends. The event had been promoted and publicised hugely.

How could these people not know he was dead? Or do they wish dead people a happy birthday in the vain hope that he is “up there looking down”?

The latter I think, seen several people do the same for a friend of mine who took her own life 3 years ago. I had to remove her from Facebook as it was upsetting me too much and then felt incredibly guilty afterwards?

It just makes me cringe. By all means post something on his birthday, feel free. But posting stuff that doesn’t acknowledge that he’s no longer with us is upsetting. We shouldn’t feel guilty for feeling that way.

So many facebook happy birthday posts that are essentially “here’s a few photos of the two of us where I look really good and you look OK I guess”

loads of people will wish literally everyone on their friends list a happy birthday, whether or not they’ve had any contact with that person recently or even ever. they just see the “x has a birthday today” notification and post on a wall, like some sort of weird conditioning.

#1281

I only do so if it is someone I know well enough and care about enough.

#1282

I hope the only time he got laid was for a reason for it never to happen again to appear.

#1283

I don’t think I’ve ever wished anyone a Happy Birthday on facebook. I hate birthdays.

Is it just some nasty vigilante crap - or is that famous person I don’t recognise or something?

#1286

deepy nasty vigilante crap :frowning:

#1287

Oh. Probably wouldn’t share the actual pic here then like…

#1288

not like any of us are going to beat him up is it?

#1289

can’t edit, but @1101010 or @plasticniki could remove it.

naively didn’t see the harm as it’s not like you’ll recognise him in the street from a photo on here, but yeah, dumb move. Sorry
