idea to start a pro-boomer, anti-zoomer meme page on Facebook, spend a year filling it with this shit, then suddenly start posting memes about 60s/70s music/films being boring and shit, use pure rage generated as an alternative energy source

*stows away copy of What Is To Be Done I was planning to hand trick-or-treaters*
― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 31 October 2022 10:38 (one year ago) link
we sat on the porch with a massive bowl of penny candy and invited anyone who stopped in to pick out two choices.
two obviously twentysomething kids smoking weed stopped when they saw us on our stoop and one of them tossed on a covid mask and wandered up with "trick or treat, i just turned 15." he took a kitkat with our blessing.
separately, a lady in her fifties/sixties wearing a hijab strolled right up and lunged at our bowl before we could react, grabbing two massive handfuls, dumping them in her bag and then tried to do it again. we actually had to restrain her. she laughed and said something heavily accented about "3 at home" and held her arm out expecting more. i dubiously gave her an additional assortment of starbursts to make her go away. She looked to be carrying something like 15 pounds of candy in multiple sacks already. she tried the same thing next door but didn't make it past their front gate. Possibly a known local character that I haven't met yet?
Everyone else who arrived was 12 or under or parents and exceptionally polite. One dad had a killer homemade Red Guardian costume. Lots of anime characters. One dad shredder and his two kids as ninja turtles. One family dressed as the local broadcast crew for the Mets, kid wearing a mustache and a bald cap tells me "my dad will have to explain."

i really thought i had dialed in my fb feed to a reasonable degree but since throwing a few likes to meme groups that actually post genuinely funny memes (imo) (i realize this was a mistake now), every couple of posts is fb presenting me with a subtly racist or misogynist cartoon or meme. this is the first time i remember being assaulted with gross shit on fb without feeling like i have any control over it. disturbing.
― ꙮ (map), Tuesday, 7 February 2023 19:16 (one year ago) link
Yea, i'm not sure when it happened but FB will now advertise posts in groups you aren't a part of if they think it's similar to what you have interacted before....and encourage you to join
I am constantly blocking edgelord group posts because I posted on NFL groups recently. Also saw a trans hate post from a group that has zero realistic connection to my likes.
FB purity zaps some of it out. Is there a way to disable it?
― waiting on a czar to fall (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 7 February 2023 19:28 (one year ago) link
i use the “most recent” tab on my laptop and it’s a chronological feed. that plus an ad blocking extension make it at least tolerable.

The pages I get the most suggestions for are stuff like Classic Rock in Pics, The YEAR Grunge BROKE, Movie is Life, Le Cinéma World, Decade 77-87 - a grown up disco: new wave, punk, postpunk, goth & indie. Curated pop culture fan pages. Grateful that I'm no longer getting a barrage of 2nd Amendment pages like I was 4 or 5 years ago.
― peace, man, Wednesday, 8 February 2023 13:03 (one year ago) link
I guess we're all touching different parts of the elephant and saying the elephant IS that thing.
Whether by design or by happy accident, I appear to have curated effectively. I never see anything even remotely right-wing, nor anything that is offensive to my delicate sensibilities.
My feed is entirely musician stuff, cats, my best friends' children, nature photography, local restaurant culture, YIMBY politics, puns, liberal pieties, nieces and nephews, language, history, architecture, and my friends' children's nieces' cats.
If you see FB as a dystopian fascist hellhole, I am sorry to hear it, but it indicates how poorly the algorithm has curated your input. Unfortunately that shit will always be out there in the world. We can't wish it away. But you don't need to invite it into your leisure time. And you shouldn't have to work too hard to banish it from arising in front of your eyeballs.
― Auf Der Martini (Ye Mad Puffin), Wednesday, 8 February 2023 13:15 (one year ago) link
I mostly get cat groups, obscure rock bands, trans bloggers/meme groups, and chronic illness pages recommended to me nowadays. And for some reason the algorithm thinks I'm Black.

Ugh
i grew up in xxxx and never once questioned my parents income, it was never a discussion. We didn't eat a lot of fast food because it was considered a treat, not a food group. We ate homemade meals consisting of meat, potatoes, and vegetables - (which were not an optional choice).No vegetables, no dessert!!!We grew up during a time when we mowed lawns, pulled weeds, babysat, helped neighbours with chores to be able to earn our own money. We by no means were given everything we wanted.We went outside a lot to play, ride bikes, run with friends, play hide and seek, or went swimming. We rarely just sat inside. Bottled water was unheard of. If we had a coke, it was in a glass bottle, and we didn’t break the bottle when finished. We saved it and cashed it back in at the shops for a sweet. After school, we came home and did homework and chores, before going outside or having friends over. We would ride our bikes for hours. We had to tell our parents where we were going, who we were going with, and be home when the street lights came on!You LEARNED from your parents instead of disrespecting them, and treating them as if they knew absolutely nothing. What they said was LAW, and you did not question it, and you had better know it!We watched what we said around our elders because we knew if we DISRESPECTED any grown-up we would get a real telling off, it wasn't called abuse, it was called discipline! We held doors, carried the shopping, and gave up our seat for an older person without being asked. You didn't hear swear words on the radio in songs or TV.“Please and Thank you were part of our daily vocabulary!The world we live in now is just so full of people who hate and disrespect others.Consider Re-posting if you're thankful for your childhood. I will never forget where I came from and only wish children now days had half the chance at the fun and respect for real life we grew up with! And we were never bored!And it’s how I have brought my children up to x

When I was a nippa, the pop man would come to my grammas and leave five or six bottles of what we'd generically call "lemonade" of various flavours. Cherryade (liked least), cola (nice), cream soda (hmm, interesting), dandelion and burdock (yeah!) And lemonade itself (fine if there's nowt else)
Didn't ride around on bicycles, couldn't afford them.
Had dinner at lunchtime, tea at dinner time, and sometimes would have supper before bed.
Then we moved south, and it all changed!
