Facebook pet peeve (this one in particular)

[Reincarnate]

The ones that really rustle my jimmies are the ones where it's like

WHAT IS 48÷2(9+3)?

and then you'll get half the crowd going "IT'S 2 LOL PRAISE JESUS" and the other half going "YOU MORONS IT'S 288! PEMDAS MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT" when really the answer is "AMBIGUOUS STATEMENT FUCK"

Although these are all dumb I think the dumbest thing, and personally my biggest pet peeve on facebook, is when people hashtag shit.....Like it 100% does NOTHING, except make you look like an idiot.

The analogy I always use is as follows:

What does it mean when someone says "I could care less?"

Well, if we take it literally, then clearly that person cares at a level that is greater than the level at which they could be caring. If we take its intended context due to how often it gets abused, it could mean the exact opposite: They're at the lowest level of possible care and therefore could not go any lower.

So are we going to argue that it's definition 1 based on literal interpretation (representing the analogy to PEMDAS) or by a possible other interpretation based on unconventional usage (representing the analogy to the odd use of division symbol next to a multiplication-by-juxaposition which is almost never used in conjunction).

The answer is anyone's best guess. The central idea is that if you meant it one way, you write it in a way that is consistent and unambiguous based on agreed convention. If you meant it another way, then you write it that way instead.

haha so true i don't get the hashtagging at all either

also, the moms who update with an essay about their kids and all their problems in life three times a day are annoying lol who reads that, i have a few of those

Halp. I've been stuck for 5 minutes on a word puzzle and I'm either not perspicacious enough to reflect on my own or I am too lethargic to open my browser and search for an answer online so I will post it on Facebook and wait 5 more minutes on Facebook for something that could have been solved way earlier.

-Support our troops or get the f-k out

Fuck those pages. Being in the south, I've got a few people on my friends list reposting shit from these pages, and it's some pretty bassackwards shit.

On the other hand, there are some pretty cool pages, like "I fucking love science".

Hash tagging is supposed to be used for Twitter "ONLY" (which by the way, I will just say that twitter has to be one of the dumbest, most pointless sites on the planet!) but back to the hash tag, it supposedly makes your "followers" able to search or see your tweets. (man it makes me pissed off just describing how retarded twitter is)

[Reincarnate]

I actually tend to dislike it when people always post/share stuff from "i fucking love science" because, well, you know

you want to be a nerd/scientist then you have to earn that shit >:O

Yes.

You can write it as 48/(2(9+3)) if you mean it that way
or (48÷2)*(9+3) if you mean it that way

or

48
_____
2(9+3)

or however else you want -- all that matters is that it's clear and consistent.

This. And it's always something insanely easy, too. I guess people love the game but hate to think.

I just meant the content of the page.... You've got to admit, it's better than this shit, courtesy of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children







Am I being biased because I'm "liberal", or is this some stupid shit?
Probably both, but still ;laksdjfqo;iwejr;klsadjfpqwioejfklas

[Reincarnate]

It is stupid shit

But using reason/history/logic/evidence/consistent frameworks/accurate prediction tends to get you labeled as a "liberal" in some derogatory fashion. w/e

This repost pisses me off the most.

Bill Cosby "I'm 83 and Tired"
I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for when I was doing my National Service, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired.
I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.
I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; Muslims burning schools for girls; Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.
I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries use our oil money to fund mosques and Madrasa Islamic schools to preach hate in Australia , New Zealand , UK, America and Canada , while no one from these countries are allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia or any other Arab country to teach love and tolerance..
I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.
I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses or stick a needle in their arm while they tried to fight it off?
I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of all parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.
I'm really tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.
I'm also tired and fed up with seeing young men and women in their teens and early 20's be-deck themselves in tattoos and face studs, thereby making themselves unemployable and claiming money from the Government.
Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 83.. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter and their children. Thank God I'm on the way out and not on the way in. There is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on! This is your chance to make a difference.
“I’m 83 and I'm tired. If you don't agree you are part of the problem!

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had never failed a single student before but had, once, failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism.

All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too; so they studied little.. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame, name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great; but when government takes all the reward away; no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that....








Dear Mr. President:

During my shift in the Emergency Room last night, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient whose smile revealed an expensive shiny gold tooth, whose body was adorned with a wide assortment of elaborate and costly tattoos, who wore a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and who chatted on a new cellular telephone equipped with a popular R&B ringtone. While glancing over her patient chart, I happened to notice that her payer status was listed as "Medicaid"!

During my examination of her, the patient informed me that she smokes more than one pack of cigarettes every day, eats only at fast-food take-outs, and somehow still has money to buy pretzels and beer. And, you and our Congress expect me to pay for this woman's health care? I contend that our nation's "health care crisis" is not the result of a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. Rather, it is the result of a "crisis of culture" a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on luxuries and vices while refusing to take care of one's self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. It is a culture based in the irresponsible credo that "I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me".

Once you fix this "culture crisis" that rewards irresponsibility and dependency, you'll be amazed at how quickly our nation's health care difficulties will disappear.

Respectfully,
ROGER STARNER JONES, MD

If you agree...pass it on.
