I still don't understand these. Do people spreading these things around get ad revenue based on how many times something is shared and liked, or do they just want to see how far their post can spread, or do they get their rocks off on having a bunch of followers or what? What is the point of these things?

A lot are fronts for phishing. They send everyone a message that they're the "winner" with a link to a fake FB login page.

He's also one of those dudes who dress with a hat and likes to think of himself as fancy and chivalrous. Then he posts poo poo like this


Quite an easy start, because he hasn't been massively active since the new year started.
MY SISTER posted this one. I was flabbergasted. I also have another female friend that posts "BUT I'M A NICE GUY!" memes all the time. It's mind boggling.

I really hate poo poo like this. It's so scummy to make this sort of stuff up, and what do they even stand to gain from it? But so many people seem to fall for it. On my feed a few months back, this woman who is a PhD student shared one of these things('the cheap cancer cure that the US government doesnt want you to know about!') and I couldn't believe it. She seemed so smart, but she'll share bizarre, obviously false things like this every once and a while.

From a few pages back, but what was the one that was going around about making homemade crystals that would actually release deadly fumes to try and trick people into killing themselves?

I finally have something to contribute to this thread.


The picture in question that was reported was her breastfeeding her child in the hospital with her full breast in view. I personally think nudity isn't a huge deal, but holy poo poo what a reaction from having a picture reported.

As in her nipple was exposed, or was a baby latched on to each breast? Cause she says tandem feeding, which makes it sound like she was feeding on both. Getting pissy about seeing babies breast feeding, and reporting an image for it is ridiculous.

I've seen this picture before, and the thing that always bugged me about it is her posture. It just looks so stiff. I mean, I'm sure the ground is uncomfortable, but if I were grief stricken over the loss of my husband, I probably wouldn't be stick-straight, lying prone on his grave. I donno, it just seems really odd to me.

Pretty sure she's praying, not sobbing uncontrollably.

Except that Wendy, Michael, and John all went back home, returned to Neverland numerous times, and grew old fine.

Oh also, in the original play/novel, Wendy brought all the Lost Boys home with her for her mother to adopt (who all grew old fine, with Wendy eventually marrying one of them).

Boom.

Tax can vary greatly state to state, and sometimes even county to county or city to city. I would like it for sales tax to be included in the sticker price, but it's not really very feasible with our tax system.

POS systems already have the proper sales tax programmed in, so that when an item is rung up it is properly applied. There is no reason the other computer system that prints the price stickers (which is usually done at the store, not at the shipping location) can't do the same.


EDIT: The proper answer, is so that they can advertise products for "under $5" when priced at $4.99.

I was away from civilization when the Tebauw thing went down, was there any kind of opposition to it, at all?

There wasn't opposition, but a lot of people made fun of it, and Tebowing became a thing for a while. The only reason anyone said anything was because of how in your face about his religion he was all the time. Almost every interview he had to mention it in some way.

Some people tried to make the correlation from Tebow to Michael Sam when he came out, saying "Why do I have to hear about him being gay when everyone complained about Tebow being religious." Because I doubt Sam will mention he's gay every chance he gets?
