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

The apocalypse began with bottled water.

Ah yes, the past... a time in which hate and disrespect were unknown

can we stop holding doors, let them make their own decisions

A lot of people are remembering some Norman Rockwell calendar they used to have, not the actual grim reality of 60's-80's life

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!

everyone was calling dandelion and burdock "dr pepper"?

The amount of (I thought) fairly intelligent people I see commenting on that photo full of number 529s, apparently genuinely believing they're the first person in over half a million comments to spot number 295 or whatever and so win themselves a campervan/log cabin/iPhone 14 etc is truly staggering (and more than a little depressing)

I just saw that post and we'll lets just say the FB friends I saw reply to it are exactly who I expected to

Before I ditched Facebook in '17, I recall a meme from some of my friends' parents that said "I was spanked as a kid...and I turned out fine! Re-post if you agree!", and it took all of my power not to reply with data from my workplace (an agency that monitors allegations of abuse inflicted upon older adults) revealing that the perpetrators for a disproportionate share of financial exploitation were the seniors' children, who were convinced that their behavior was justified, since their parent was physically abusive.

nothing like facebook telling me "you've earned a top fan badge of dj xyz, click to accept" to make me never like that person's posts again

"You've earned a Top Fan badge for Andy Dick"

I don’t even get the title of this thread but

Thread title was in response to an image bearing this quote, or some variation thereof:

"When you buy from an independent artist you are buying more than just a painting or a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures. You are buying days, weeks, months, years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You are buying nights of worry about paying the rent, having enough money to eat, having enough money to feed the children, the birds, the dog. You aren't just buying a thing, you are buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a private moment in someone's life. Most importantly, you are buying that artist more time to do something they are truly passionate about; something that makes all of the above worth the fear and the doubt; something that puts the life into the living."

- Rebekah Joy Plett

I was planning to buy something from an independent artist today but now I don't know, seems like a lot of responsibility!

why does the statue look like it's in some sort of wasteland

those are definitely unused props from Raised By Wolves

facebook sucks so bad but i joined a new group called "big tree seekers" that is pretty good so far, just nice pictures of big trees.

One of my favourite fb groups is 'Craft beer and cats.' which is exactly as described.

I used to really enjoy cat groups on FB like Catspotting but they ended up having way too many posts from ppl eulogizing their just deceased cats. Don't mean to come across as heartless but I don't need another source for getting bummed out.

The new "Artist thing" of course is Facebook reels that either don't make sense or are just embarassing.
