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

Sometimes, The Best False Is The One You Truth.

would the dude on FB prefer that we call them lunatics? cz it def has a nice ring to it.

maybe transfuckwit?

like part of him identifies as a moron, and his other personality is a bag of dicks?

"you have two bullets, choose wisely" -dalai lama

xxp LOL. That's actually much more reasonable than I'd expect a random Facebook post to be. "Hey I don't like the man, but I respect the office!" is a nice sentiment that seems to have disappeared in the past 12 years.

I don't know any 8-year-olds that can sit still for 20 minutes, let alone do it and try to mentally concentrate. (nb I think I only know one 8 year old)

ps that girl is totes thinking about puppies or ice cream or how bored she is.

bob marley now infiltrating the non-quote sector of facebook

also feel like maybe the govt should take guns away from anyone who fantasizes about killing a six year old

8 yo thinking UGGGH MOM CAN I OPEN MY EYES NOW AND GET OFF THIS DUMB MOUNTAIN THIS IS BOOOOOOORING

she's not even in full-lotus position. DISQUALIFIED!

lol

I can sit in a pretty extreme full lotus position and have been able to do so since I was very young, I don't know if it's because I'm double-jointed somehow or if learning what it was when I was tiny and bendy left me able to do it forevermore. #braggin2013

I think people are generally more limber when they are younger so its a good idea to train your body to do stuff then. I could do lotus-style when I was like 12 but now its hard for me to put socks on. I need to lose weight and get into shape.

sick, most people can do it when theyre kids but i dont think ive ever met an adult who isnt some yoga freak or w/e who can

I'm not even a yoga freak. But I am reading Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind finally so I might have an advantage if I start doing some half-assed zazen.

most stuff i've read on meditation agrees that getting comfortable is way more important than being able to go full lotus

how are you supposed to get into buddha heaven if you can't even go full lotus

brb, storming heaven in my lotus

You know what, I'm really beginning to fucking hate science.

just keep telling yourself it's not science's fault

if anything i blame a plethora of shitty pop science publishing, right up there with Tragic Life Stories on the train station book shop pile

It's weird that "loving science" has become some kind of geek badge of honour. I also blame The Big Bang Theory.

see i blame that for not being very funny and for being on 24/7

that too, also weird geek wish fulfilment.

gonna go out and boss some amoebas later, who's with me?

that's it, show them who's higher up the evolutionary ladder my saaahn!

I don't understand the point of that macro, it basically seems to try to use science as a guilttrip. What does it entail to act like the result of "evolutionary success"? Does creating hideous pictures of useless text have something to do with it? Is it simply a call for everyone to around planting their seed and killing predators?
Gonna go to the museum and lord it over some dodo bones now. "Y'see birdie, what you should've done is grow some opposable thumbs, like I did a heap of generations ago. That shit's really practical."

grass is the result of x billion years of evolutionary success iirc

I think you've already thought about the content of the message more than the author did before they foisted it upon the interwebs, which is the main problem with the JPG.

only if you consider that authorial intent is the sole metric to contemplate Facebook memes by

well yea I'm probably giving this person more credit than they deserve

My son watches that all the time and wears t-shirts with things like "I am not a geek I am a level nine warlord" yet doesn't like role playing games and isn't particularly interested in science. BBT has made him aspire to be a geek without actually learning stuff.

He reads comic books. I suppose that counts.

tbf, he's geeking out about a television show

I want to attribute some quotes to "The Marley Lama"

Christ. I just had a 'conversation' with a Truther who was pulling CaptainLorax-isms all over a friend's page (a friend who is a journalist, I might add, that was sharing a colleague's very sad story). and..I've just never felt this pessimistic about humans, before. Pre-internet and early internet days, these types of people were no less omnipresent, but you could ignore them easier because you weren't splattered with their BS. But even in the age of social media, most of these dudes I was coming across were trolls on Fan pages. Now I'm seeing it crop up with people on my friends list, or friends of friends.

It just makes me sad, not only as someone who values logic, but predominately because of what an insult it is to the grieving families to be told that their children aren't really dead. I really hope all of these families aren't seeing this shit because that's just fucked.

I realize it's only a fraction of the population, but, man. Fortunately, if I see it on any friends pages, I am trading them off my Madden team deleting them immediately

i think folks like that have been on a FB-specific tear recently: FB itself recently banned(?) infowars and naturalnews

News Trolls.

these people are so dumb and sad and oblivious i try not to be too mad at them

but yeah what a horrible hobby

I'm just not used to it cropping up with people that I either know IRL or are connected to them. This girl I met recently at a wedding, who'd just posted a pretty intelligent comment on gender constructs hours earlier, posts the video LEGITIMATELY asking "what do you think" (uhm, that it's retarded), only to get a reply of "makes you think" from their friends.

here's a rundown of it from inside the paranoidosphere (imo)

http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/12/facebook-purges-political-activists.html

(fwiw barry ritholz reruns washingtonsblog shit all the time, wtf is with that)

already got the "Snopes is invalid" argument from that troll, too. There's a few angles they play, either that they're in the pockets of Liberals, or the new one, which is that they're "only a husband and wife team with no investigative experience". It's great circular reasoning. I feel like playing that one clip from the psychologist in Terminator to them....except he turned out to be real so fuck that.
