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

one choice, two options

what is the phenomenon that this is railing against? do parents today give their kids menus?

honestly i would be hurt and embarrassed if i were a kid and i found out that my mom was posting stuff like that about my eating habits

i think it is railing against picky eaters?

More consumer showmanship

i find the self-congratulatory nature of so many of these memes so massively noxious. like, the only sensible response to any of them is "fuck the fuck off you conceited asshole".

more just "life is hard and i am tough" in a way that deflects the sentiment onto some imaginary person/phenomenon so the poster doesn't have to appear vulnerable.

it's very childish, ironically

i think it is railing against picky eaters?

gotta be against straw permissive molly-coddling parents

Yea that's how I took it too

where's the Minion on that one

filet minion

idk how it's meant honestly, only that it seems unusually sour and mean for everyone involved
like hearing someone bitch mercilessly about a person who is sweet and intends no harm

"Oh, you don't want to try the brussel sprouts, little Timmy? How about a cheese sandwich so you don't go to bed hungry."
"YOU'RE RAISING A WELFARE STATE LIBERAL SISSY! LOOK AT ME, I TURNED OUT ALRIGHT!"

that is how lots of armchair parents appear to approach their armchair parenting tbf

i'm a cahnt, my dad's a cahnt, is dad wuz a cahnt, and we all et broken glass every meal and we turned out just fine

I have to say looks better than most of what I was served as a kid, I'd be happy to choke down a few green beans for that spread.

that's a corny meme but as a parent who has tried things otherwise I 100% endorse its contents

corny macro I mean

Trying to make separate food that the kid "likes" is a hole with no bottom

I mean, you know, to a point. We do try to some extent to eat things that K likes to begin with. Just gave up on having multiple options or making separate food.

I can't help but think there is some middle ground between never offering your child anything but the foods they like best, whether it is as a wholly separate meal made just for them or everyone at the table eating nothing but 100% kid-approved food, and telling your child "I don't care what you like; eat whatever I put on your plate or else go fuck yourself".

In our house that's called "yogurt and blueberries for dinner" but ymmv.

thank fucking christ for yogurt

Peanut butter here, but yes.

"Occupy Democrats" is the WORST

this isn't a meme but I FUCKING HATE HATE HATE when people make up their own "hashtags" as if their lives are fucking "trending" like their fucking vacation or any stupid routine taking their kid to the park on a saturday

#deepthoughts #UpperMississippiMoments #SummerOfSh@kedown #lovingILX #PostingTruthToPower

heeee I have some friends who definitely have a #brand (and sizable social media followings) who do that all the time. Since I knew most of them as physical beings before I knew their social media persona it doesn't bother me too much but I do rmde at it a little bit.

THere were some VERY funny jokes about this on the first episode of season 2 of "Bojack Horseman."

I have friends with children around 4-5 years old who will tag any social media pic of their child like #kidpocalypse or something and i just can't even. Also the people who do this with their dogs.

i have a friend who does "me & my girl" hastags with his wife and does image macros using the same thing and 9000000 other hashtags and he is the worst of all humans

a cowoker has a hashtag "like (nickname) eats" for the bajillion food pics he posts
also the worst

When people do this for weddings, gaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

I have a friend who, every time she posts a picture of her daughter, the hashtag is "#loveher." Her son's hashtags are "#babylove" or "#babycrush" and I just wanna vomit and die.

i know some ppl who end every endless string of hash tags with #hashtagsarestupid

the only good way to use hashtags at this point is ironically m/l

one of my husband's relatives friended me on facebook after our wedding and everything she posts is illegible to me because of the hashtags. that are sometimes randomly in all caps. she is also very conventionally beautiful and a burgeoning media personality, i believe, so maybe these are legit hashtags? like she's just speaking the language of fame? i would never hide her posts; they are mesmerizing and incomprehensible.

I have a running series of facebook posts that are kind of more like tweets that I tag with #totaldadmoment, and they are definitely supposed to be all about ironic dadness, but I do sometimes wonder if I'm too close to the thing I'm ironizing.

#totaldadmove, rather

e.g. "Polo shirt and new balance trainers to the office on a Monday. ‪#‎totaldadmove"

p much all dads in the first world are knowingly dadly nowadays surely

#hashtagdad

#facetweets

not that i would do it but i could kinda understand a hashtag for a wedding in that it would give you an easy way to find pics and posts about a wedding maybe? on twitter at least, i don't think hashtags actually do anything on facebook.

They work on FB. I could also see useful for a wedding if you have many people talking photos, easy for them to be compiled if hashbrowned properly.

kinda wonder if hashtags are becoming or are already a marker of being an old person, like facebook or knowing/caring who jon stewart was or using 'lol' instead of an emoji. twitter maybe bridges that gulf, idk. the kids seem to have all moved on to vine, yikyak, kik. which is fine for facebook, their hope was 'become uncool but omnipresent default asap'.

my mom is on wuwu

like 30 seconds after hashtags were invented ppl started using them in a jocular way that fast overtook their alleged primary purpose of placing tweets in searchable categories and telling brands your story, talking about "made-up" or "ironic" hashtags as something distinct from like pretty much all hashtags is basic af

the 1-2 years it took for the hashtag to get normy, like grains of sand on the beach of generations

balls prob otm tho idk many kids
