Anyone who is suffering so much from chronic/terminal illness that they want to die should be allowed to do so. IMO. Shouldn't be anyone else's business.

The growing number of go fund me requests.

there is someone on the forums who types like this with no punctuation commas or full stops its really difficult to read and i end up having to bypass their posts as it takes me all my time to form their stream of words into sentences

I Used To Have A Facebook Friend Who Typed Like This

I'm with you. I'm not asking for perfect punctuation or grammar but please make it readable

I had a CV from an ‘influencer’ (that was their sole work experience) with 32 spelling mistakes.

One of their skills was ‘attention to detail’

People who write on their Facebook page ‘any jobs going in backofbeyondtown’ which annoys me enough, go and check the job pages like everyone else, but THEN someone will pipe up with ‘care home looking staff’

I don’t know about all of you but i hope when i’m in a care home that it will be populated with staff who at least vaguely wanted to work in care, enough for it to have occurred to them in the first place without the help of Facebook and certainly enough to have looked at a job website and sent in an application.

Just posting on your Facebook status and expecting that someone will just give you a job. Gods sake.

I hate how when I may a random search of something really not important, the top result is an AI summary. I searched 'why is Hamlet not made king when his father dies?' (I'd just seen the play and was a bit unsure why the uncle got the crown instead of the son), and google auto-AI'd me a whole essay when really a quick search on a discussion forum would have done. Now I feel like an ocean has been drained just to satisfy my multiple questions a day. I get questions like a bee in my bonnet and it bugs me until I find out but maybe I should learn to be in ignorance because AI seems to have been embedded in search functions everywhere. At work they've embedded co-pilot into Teams and 365 so it's doing stuff there as well.

I wouldn't be surprised in governments start taxing us to pay for AI capabilities, like some kind of levy on the water /power it uses. Something else we can't afford and not all of us want AI.

If you're using google, you can just add -ai to the end of your search term. E.g. 'why is Hamlet not made king when his father dies -ai'

AI. And my friends thinking that the reels they keep sending me are real. Intelligent women who believe they really are watching an otter play the drums

 

[BunnyBoo0102]

Every fucker and there Nan posting AI posters and pictures to promote there business or event; they all look awful too much info jumbled together it makes my eyes hurt. And the awful caricature ones!

People in the comments, who center themselves and their emotions. "OMG, being a mother myself, I had to cry for hours over your fate!" Who cares?
The most extreme example was, when someone told their horrible story online of losing their one year-old, because they got rolled over by a car at a parking lot. A woman responded, directly adressing, even tagging the mother: "God, I could never handle this, grieve is SO not my emotion." (Whatever that even means.) I then called her out on how extremely inappropriate that was, only for others to answer to me, how "unempathetic" I was.
It's always women. The ones that think of themselves as "empaths", and are so very fascinated by their own ability to feel sorry for others. I really can't bear it.

Or the parents that watch videos of parents talking about their experience losing their child and they comment things like "I had to go and hug my 2 year old. I can't imagine what you are going through!" One even commented on a post of a woman who lost her 5 month old to SIDS and said "I am breastfeeding my 5 month old while reading this. I couldn't imagine losing her"
Its so self-centred and they are rubbing it in the face of these parents who have lost a child by telling them that their kid is alive and well while theirs has passed away. It's a lack of empathy.

Influencers in Dubai using the situation for content. They just can’t help themselves, can they?

 

[Tangerine Dream]

We're getting actual 'cancer reveals' on sm now. A former Disney channel star has done one.

I'm sorry, I cannot see how anyone will process their diagnosis better by filming themselves crying into their phone.

This world has become bizarre beyond all recognition to me.

If only I dared to write this on the tik tok that inspired me to post …but I just get a sense of be wasting my breath once couple convened and their followers. For context I’m talking about Hollie and Alexa (a gay couple) who are taking their baby son to Dubai on holiday. Alexa is a school teacher as well what possesses them?!

Sometimes I am curious (and please correct me if i am wrong) but do younger gay people realise the persecution and the battles that those who came before had to endure for them to be recognised as a couple?

Younger people are ignorant of the past. Not just gay young people.

I worked with women who didn't realize that birth control had once been illegal. That women had a hard time getting bank accounts and credit without a male signatory.

One youngster asked my why I hadn't joined the police. I had to explain to her that the first class of women recruits for the RCMP went in the year I finish high school. City police forces had women constables but they had desk jobs or were assigned to childrens services. I remember when female Military Police members had to leave the service when they married.

The young of today truly take what they have for granted.

Another peeve - Your Stripper/Bridgerton/Band name is your middle name, birth month and street name so immediately a bunch of absolute fools goes "oooh mine is Lady Ann April-Brookside Close!

How about your Pin number/date of birth/mother's maiden name is your "I've had my bank card cloned name".

 

[Tangerine Dream]

Also, to add to that, can we leave gender reveal videos in 2025.

Gender reveal even being a thing is wild to me. How can people need so much attention?

 

[Tavi Huit]

That repetitive yogurt and biscoff thing, it is NOT cheesecake. it's cold yogurt with biscuits in itl.

 

[Ivegone]

I can assure you no one gives a shit what your kid is dressed up as apart from you and your family

 

[April89]

Is it just me or is everyone seeing people brag about how passionate their marriage is online? I keep seeing things like ‘we are on holiday, behaving like it’s our anniversary ‘ or ‘loads of fun, marriage game strong ‘
A new low.

Gender reveal even being a thing is wild to me. How can people need so much attention?

It's the full grown adults that have tantrums because they didn't get the gender they wanted that makes it so stupid and the expectations they put on the child to be exactly how they want them to be. It's usually based on stereotypes anyway, one of my friends said she was over the moon to have a girl after 2 boys and started going on about Ballet classes, barbie dolls, bows and cute dresses. Her daughter doesn't like any of those things now and turned out just like her 2 older brothers which proves "gender reveals" are all based around parents obsessions with stereotypical girls or boys instead of wanting a kid with their own interests and personality.
