Comparing yourself to Facebook friends is a recipe for depression

Never compare yourself to others…on Facebook or elsewhere. You know people don’t tell the whole truth, or let you see the whole picture of their lives…just the good parts. The grass is always greener they say…that’s because they never mention the weeds and rodent damage. Keeping up with the Joneses, whether on Facebook or IRL is a recipe for unhappiness. Instead, be generous and compassionate to all, and grateful what you have, rather than envious of other people’s lives…as they APPEAR to be on Facebook.

Trump: Burn the flag, go to jail

Donald Trump is a fascist autocrat who would rather that ALL free speech be banned…unless you are supporting Trump, in which case you are ‘free’ to say anything you want.

Flag burning is Constitutionally guaranteed free speech, and has been upheld by the Supreme Court rulings. The First Amendment guarantees that you may not like what I have to say, but you have to allow me to say it. That includes expressing unhappiness with America’s current incarnation. Burning the flag is one way to say that you don’t like THIS America and you want to change it. Donald Trump is an asshole imo

How to Spot and Debunk Fake News

Personally, I don’t want Facebook filtering my shit. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty sure that I’m smart enough to know how to tell if an article is from a reliable source. If I take the time to check. Which maybe you do, maybe you don’t…until you catch yourself (or worse, the Interwebs catch you) publishing total bullshit. I’ve done it. Once…maybe twice (I’m not always the fastest learner). But once that lesson is learned, if you keep publishing bullshit without checking it’s source, you’re just a dumbfuck. I try not to be a dumbfuck. If you choose to be one, you get unfollowed fast. Because I don’t care about the opinions of idiots…and if you fail to check the sources of shit you share…well, stupid is as stupid does. just sayin.
