looking down at the world


It's funny how every now and then you discover something about yourself that probably makes you a good person. Like when you finally see two guys making out and you're completely okay with it, and not weirded out or anything but instead wishing both parties good luck internally and wondering if you yourself might get lucky tonight but with, of course, a woman but I mean hell a man would be okay if he had soft skin and was fairly hairless and surely the inside of a man's mouth is just as tender as a woman's, it's not like we eat more steak or anything and I don't know if it's more fun to get a girl off than a guy, but it's a lot of fun watching a girl come and... like, anal is fun so hell: what's the issue. What's the issue?

What I mean is that I just discovered I feel the same way about pedophiles as I do other prisoners in a maximum security jail. I don't need to reveal how I feel, I just think it's great that I'm not really angry about pedophilia more than any other serious extended sentence sort of crime. That's got to be a good thing. Like I don't want kids, but surely a murderer is worse to leave your child alone with than a pedophile not that either is better than a teenage girl for less than the minimum hourly wage.


Anyway, I took photos of like, twenty generators in Myanmar but no one liked my "Generators of Myanmar" album on facebook. So now I'm doing "Cows of India". And I started tagging my friends as the cows and my friend Apple Facetime'd me at what is for him somewhere deep in the AM hours and called me an idiot.

Not all paedophiles are child molesters anyway. They have as much choice in who they are attracted to as gay people. Paedophiles in jail for actually molesting children are undoubtedly scum.

It's a difficult issue to comment on as no one wants to look like a paedophile sympathiser, but there are some arguments that some people could be unjustly imprisoned for paedophilia. Lawyers are well versed in manipulating adults, never mind impressionable children. Get a child on the stand and you can "prove" anything, even things such as paedophile satanic cults and gory death rituals.

The law isn't omniscient and some who have been convicted may be innocent, so it's a bit morally questionable to support the wide scale dehumanization of all suspected paedophiles.

Those who have been convicted based on attempting to groom children for molestation through chat, text and emails are undoubtedly the scum of the earth, and it has been substantially proven with hard evidence. Not all cases are as clear cut as that, though.

I have a friend who is a decent person but they have a tendency to get sucked into all the stupid 'copy and paste this as your status or else Mark Zuckerberg is going to own your soul' rubbish that is on Facebook.

Yesterday she posted this:

"Facebook is now requiring business page owners to pay to have their status updates read by every subscriber. If we don't, status updates only show up in less than 10% of newsfeeds, even though you have "liked" the page indicating you want to see posts from this page. However, there is a way around it. Hover over the button on the page where it says "Like" and then make sure you are check marked to "show in news feed". Its free! And, you won't miss updates from this page. Do it to all of the pages you've "liked." Support the small businesses. And please tell your friends."

I know it's not true because it's just not true. And if it was true it is something that would be announced as it would constitute a change to the Terms of Service that you originally agreed to when setting up your page.

I want to tell my friend that it's not true so she stops stressing that her page is going to be restricted but I need something semi-official like Snopes that I can show her otherwise she won't really believe me so can anyone link me to something saying that this is nonsense?

Could you please clarify? I'm not a native speaker so it's hard for me to understand. Are you saying pedophiles aren't human, some humans don't deserve human rights or something else?

I'm saying that if you argue with most people about whether or not they deserve rights you'll probably be ignored or laughed at, but if you argue that some people might be innocent it will probably trigger their "gently caress the police, always trying to get innocent people for no reason" response, this allowing you to argue for decent treatment of human beings.

Oh haha, I was being sarcastic because I thought you were arguing against human rights but now I see what you mean. Yeah, that probably is the most effective option when trying to convince people who are already set in their thoughts. Sorry!

Was it supposed to be one giant email? Is there a magic number you're allowed per email? Can you only order items in pairs or more? Are you not supposed to place an order until you've verified the guy in charge has taken his bipolar medication already?

No, the thing she posted said that, in conjunction with the new 'announce' feature (which is shown in the image in your post) Facebook is also locking down all 'business' pages (meaning any page that you have to 'like') and will only show their posts to 10% of the people who have liked that page unless the creator of the page pays a fee.

That thing you quoted shows up under your status as 'announce' next to the 'like' and 'comment' options. It also flashes yellow when you scroll past your own posts on your newsfeed.

I'd love to but it actually isn't. I can't really tell from that post if the person you're quoting knows exactly how it works, but it is true that if you "like" a page to see things it posts it will only show you a certain percentage of those posts, depending on your level of interaction with it (likes and comments on its posts).

There are two ways around this: Either get everyone who likes your page to view their newsfeed in chronological mode (which you have to select every time, you can't just set it to default to that), or pay to "promote" your posts. The Social Fixer blog did a couple of posts about this recently.

I have a fake Facebook account I use to follow conservative blowhards like Rush Limbaugh that I would never follow with my real Facebook account. I have zero friends on this Facebook account. My fake name is "Diddimus Mantwell."

Facebook, of course, suggests "people I may know." and asks "are they your friends too?"



It really needs a "oh, I met this black guy who drives an ice cream truck last week, you probably know him, his name's Carl." to make it complete.

"my cousin was injured? KILL ALL TOWELHEADS"

I'm not trying to open a can of worms here; it's terrible that he got hurt even if I don't agree with him being over there. Going full-on racist in response though? Kinda uncouth.
