Your Facebook Friends List's Idea of Humour

[hnibos]

I think the most offensive thing I've seen on my feed is some meme about Florida trying to drug test welfare recipients(a former coworker) and their friend commenting with a "thank god our governer is doing this".

[hnibos]

Yes god would be very happy to deny a poor person food stamps

[hnibos]

While at the same time fattening the pockets of our governor (he owned/had some say in the testing company that would have been awarded the contract). Very happy god, indeed

Lol, my "buddy" liked a similar comment about how they should drug-test welfare recipients.

using unemployment to pay for the porshe. fuck you.

[Trotskilicious]

i can't wait to get my foodstamps next month and sell them off for weed. for more weed.

[Trotskilicious]

nah

I'll unfriend him when he finishes (or more likely drops out*) of the course. I don't want to deal with the real-life repercussions of having to explain why I unfriended him. I can't "nah" my way out of that.

*I really fucking hope he drops out. Our tutor is extremely unprofessional and dopey and lets so many things slide.

Seriously?

"I unfriended you because you have toxic views on women and i didn't want to read it anymore. And i really don't need to be friends irl with a person who would think and post stuff like that either."

I mean maybe because I'm 33 but i have exactly zero hours in my life for people who make my skin crawl.

[D.]

I mean


What's more awkward, dropping a fucking mra as a friend or having to explain why you are friends with a piece of shit?

[Shallowed]

nah

I had a group project with him that was like pulling teeth because in his words, he's "more of a follower than a leader" so me and the other guy in the group had to come up with shit for him to do, and then not so much hold his hand through it as we did yank him through it and hope he didn't fuck it up.

One day he apologised for not working on anything because he said he got distracted by "political arguments on the internet". He's always explaining what he's gotten distracted by. In class, 90% of the time he's browsing right wing garbage websites, pro gun shit, anti-feminist shit, anti-immigrant shit, and so on. It's a new thing every day, all of it to do with American politics, even though we're in New Zealand and he was born in Malaysia.

But anyway, I blocked him, so I don't see his posts, the things he likes or comments on, etc and he doesn't see mine. After we finished the project I blocked him on the messenger too because he kept bugging me to help him with study. I thought I appeared offline to him but the messages kept coming through. Back in class he was complaining to me about hardly being on Facebook because he waned to study with me. I just said that I preferred to study alone. I'm not going to launch myself into an argument with this guy because I defriended him on Facebook. Maybe you have the energy for that sort of thing, but I don't.

"i decided that id make sure my fb only has my close friends and family, well probs never see each other again after this."

[Mals Marola]

what is the point of this even
i'm not a "hardcore aetheist" but if you're dumb enough to post something as simple & misplacedly sincere as that when i hardly even know you in the first place, then yeah fuck unfollow i'm just goin straight for the unfriend

[D.]

It's not even an argument. Do you know how to adult?

Edit: to Shallowed

[Trotskilicious]

lol "im more of a follower than a leader" said 99 percent of MRAs, if they were being honest

[Trotskilicious]

im pro gun were gonna need em for The Fall of the West

[D.]

I've called my dad out on his misogyny. (not being a keyboard hero, im just giving an example.) there are ways to support marginalized peeps in adult manner and the biggest one is to call bullshit.

Ava transformer calls out racism phenomenally on FB.

[D.]

Akward story time: had some of B's peeps over on Sat night. Sitting around the fire pit, talk amongst some of them gets to how black people are more racist than anyone else and i simply asked how long they expect me to listen to this horseshit and can we talk about something else.

Yeah it was a little awkward but idgaf i have like a limited time on earth, i don't want to spend a minute of it denegrating an entire enthnicity. Call me craxy.

my libertarian buddy was complaining abt "pc police" and people being pussies. i asked him "how many minorities do you hang out with?" made him mad, said i didnt eitger so i told him that im not the one asking minorities and women to "get over it" and let white dudes make jokes at their expense

and i asked him if ALL lives mattar then why are you being a jerk?

[Shallowed]

Jfc D., I'm not saying you're crazy for calling people out for shitty things that they say, in fact I admire that you're able to do that fearlessly, I'm just saying that not everyone is able to do that.

[Shallowed]

And thanks for belittling my adulthood just because I want to keep things peaceful between someone I work with and me. He largely keeps it to himself in person and I don't want to escalate it in person because of shit he says on FB that I don't even see. I thought THAT would be the more adult thing to do, you know, picking your battles?

[Shallowed]

In other words, nah

[ilikeplanets]

i have finally broken the habit of awful status updates, now i mostly use my facebook as a bulletin board to post music and links of stuff i like so i can find it again without clogging up my actual computer

although every now and again my emo/addict seeps through
