    what are your thoughts on this book: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Mapping the Relationship between Online Trolling and Mainstream Culture by Whitney Phillips (2016)

  • The starting point for social media is knowing that it's all a joke. People say (post) things that they would never do in real life. The troll thing is best described as lonely people living miserable lives. In real life they have a horrible attitude and therefore no friends. They also (on the internet) try to idenitfy with a specific group. A group that is cult like in that they have the right answers for everyone. The troll then "enforces" those delusional beliefs on any poster or commenter on social media who disagrees. The troll is incapable as a cult member of having a logical discussion on social media so they simply revert to grammar school behavior and "call names". In addition to "correcting" anyone who doesn't think just like them, they "report" all those who are non compliant with their world view. A truly sad life wasted.

  • You can't take anything too seriously. The most unhappy people that I know seem to be on a mission to correct the behavior of others.

  • I'm not religious so it's just a cultural holiday. It used to be a time for family gatherings. Grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, etc. Most times I felt it was a pain in the ass. Now they are all dead and gone. In retrospect I wish I had taken more time to enjoy those family get togethers.

    Refreshing comment. Totally agree. If you want to enjoy life never think that you have all the right answers and that you have to impose what you think on others

  • I would ask all about what she remembered leading up to WW2 and the aftermath in 1945. We can read thousands of WW2 history books but the difference is that we KNOW how it turned out. I want to know how people felt when they had no idea how things would unfold and turn out in the end

  • What do you think goes on in a dog's head when he's following you around?

    1. has to go out 2) the dog knows that you are a very sloppy eater and follows you for the guaranteed crumbs that you will be dropping everywhere. They have no incentive in following you unless you are eating something.

  • What fraction of holiday gifts do you ignore, regift, or discard?

  • most of what I get is at my job. And lucky for me almost all of them are a card with cash in it. I appreciate all of them but wish that instead of homemade brownies you would do cash.

  • When applying for a new job do most employers still require drug scans and do they also go through your social media?

    I didn't realize that I was a commie for using Lemmy. Just kidding but love the way that you wrote that sentence
