Maybe this is more for the unpopular opinions thread but there has got to be a better way to have a conversation about depression, anxiety, stress &c than through twee childish drawings

I have a lot of thoughts about that and related issues that don't belong on the depression thread

erg, yes: the brave fighting fighter who fights has fought and defeated cancer.
So people who just up'n'die from cancer must not have fought hard enough. Because they were not brave. Brave like Fighter McFighterson over here, who was brave and fought.

Also: cancer research is by far the most well-funded and socially/governmentally approved cause there is. Including and especially breast cancer. Cancer-related advocacy is all well and good, but advocates should not pretend it's a neglected stepchild.
Indeed, lots of other non-beribboned diseases could benefit from some of that $5B in NIH largesse, saving a lot more lives and improving quality of life for millions. But that's impolite to point out, because grandma. Or something.

a friend of mine criticized a bodyshaming Cancer Research campaign a few months back and got a week of really nasty misogynist abuse from the caring souls who care about cancer

How do these people start conversations? You don't just launch right into the meaning of life during an elevator ride (unless something goes horribly wrong with the elevator itself).

Performative wackiness is super conventional. Whenever someone uses a bumpersticker or refrigerator magnet or social media meme to say "look at me, I'm so DIFFERENT and WEIRD," I suspect they are way more boring than people who think they're boring.

This is such fucking lame sauce that it's hardly worth putting here, except for the fact that it was shared by a facebook friend who apparently thiks that this is a good way to live your life.

hmm I kinda agree with that though
not the phrasing, not the weird image, not the unrelated imperative at the end, but the general idea that (over)thinking is overrated and doing stuff that keeps your mind off things is often beneficial - this seems to align with a lot of selfhelp lit/buddhism etc
but I guess if you read the caption politically or in an anti-intellectual context, it seems... less clever
― niels, Monday, 18 June 2018 06:37 (five years ago) link
I'm afraid that the unsharable context of the post makes your reading a bit too generous.

Facebook groups devoted to self-conscious ironic shitposting are weird! To be scrolling past my aunt fund-raising for rural firemen or whatever and on the right side of the screen is, like, "Edgy Memes For Sullen Teens". Why is this here, don't they know FB is a safe space for normies
