why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

Since when was cracker derogatory for Amish

thought that was the lead in Pippin

tbh, I wouldn't hesitate to call that guy a cracker. Maybe we all have a lot of growing up to do....

I thought that was the lead actor in a Oberlin College production of The Hobbit.

there and crackergain

we can never grow as a people until we treat the least of our tumbler wites white folk with decency and respect.

I've never heard the word cracker used except in the context of white ppl saying its unfair that they aren't allowed to use racial epithets without censure whereas anyone is free to use the word cracker against them

wait that is supposed to be funny right?

apparently it's becoming an issue bc of the trayvon trial

xpost being that it came from SomethingAwful, yeah. humorously, not everybody sharing it is in on the joke.

Wow there are some stupid honkies out there.

my first thought on seeing that actually was that it had something to do with the band

I hear "cracker" solely from hip friends who boast about not owning any records that aren't world music or jazz.

That's a strange twist, didn't see it coming

sounds like a shitty game. goin out to do a pub crawl instead

Let's guess what that blurry picture is of.

i think it's the highway to hell

A STRANGE GAME. THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS NOT TO PLAY-FIGHT.

Like, what if I want to not show up for work and not pay my bills?

tbh this is almost as annoying as the posts it is lampooning

too many misleading and disingenuous comparisons to unpack here:

you forgot "bullshit"

wanted to be nice, guy who made that obv worked vewwy hawwd on it

fwiw the oft cited kleck study is pretty well debunked here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States#Self-protection

Kleck's figures apparently showed that guns were used many times more often for self-defense in burglaries than there were reported incidents of burglaries of premises whose occupants were awake and armed with firearms

This thread will be a year old (and probably hit ten thousand posts) this month. Can't really believe there was a time when it wasn't part of my ILX life.

<3 happy birthday

These things have just exploded in that time, as far as my newsfeed goes

yeah it's kinda funny to think back that FB at one time wasn't a place where you merely splattered memes all over your Timeline every day. hell even the "Like" feature didn't come around until 2009. I remember the early days where you'd put up a status and that was about it. were you able to comment on people's statuses originally? I joined in 2006 but didn't use it much until 2008.

I realize now how silly it is to say "the early days" about a website that's less than 10 years old

don't waste it being sad
RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

I like the way they formatted that to make it look like some Benjamin Franklin shit. By the way, Benjamin Franklin actually DID write lots of life advice (see his autobiography) and it's generally pretty kick-ass. If people restricted their FB inspiration rectangles to B-Frank quotes we wouldn't be having this thread.

yeah it's kinda funny to think back that FB at one time wasn't a place where you merely splattered memes all over your Timeline every day.

For what it's worth, I never see anything like this stuff on my feed. I think FB looks very different depending on your age. 40-year-olds don't meme, as far as I can tell.

well, my page doesn't look like that so much anymore because you can set settings by individual, so most of the people who used to put those shitty eCards up every day, I either unfollowed or limited to just status updates showing in my feed.

such a great feature.

all my friends are dead

Neanderthal, you can't unfollow or limit the updates! We need them for this thread.

Life'S too ShoRt

the "sadness is a waste of time" advice reminded me of this.

Most of the stuff like this that I see is from my aunt, who is right around 80, and whom I couldn't bear to put on block. Presumably lots of people that I've long since switched to "only show important posts" are clicking share on shit like this all the time.

Life's too $hort and the earth is your impala and whatever you want is the fly way to make money

has anybody else had their Wall splattered with people posting shit like this:

Actor given to me by - Danny DeVito

Movie I loved: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

Movie I liked: Batman Returns

Movie I hated: Terms of Endearment

Like this status and I'll give you an actor!

hey this seems like fun :(

not fun when the same 3 people do it 17 times and everybody picks the same boring actors.
