Joey J J Jr Shabadoo Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 11 hours ago, Salad Fingers said: A mate of mine has his six year old son down as some mad shagger. Put a post on about his kids writing their Christmas cards out and his daughter sending them to her friends and his son to "all the birds". He then put "god know where he gets that" with a wink emoji. Which is funny, because I don't remember him being particularly popular with the lassies. He can only mean the mother, then.

Салатные палочки Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 This may sound a wee bit controversial but since when did it become the in thing for whole families to go out during the festive period giving out clothing to the homeless? Also, cafes and restaurants opening on Christmas day to feed the homeless. Now I have absolutely no problem with what they are actually doing however, taking 25 photos, including selfies with the goods you are giving out just seems a bit desperate for "likes". I don't actually remember so many people doing this before social media was around. Perhaps I am just being cynical but to me, anyone doing this these days and posting it on social media seems to be doing it as they are desperate for attention. Fair enough, do it but don't splash it all over your Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had not noticed an uptick in people doing this--I had noticed, like you have, an increase in people splashing it all over their social media. The argument that it encourages others to act in similar fashion seems to me self-serving, at best. Or like charity capitalism in the case of the businesses. An absolute angel I am deeply privileged to know--and who doesn't even have any social media accounts--has flown out to Romania and will be helping prepare the Christmas meal and making crafts with the children at a shelter today. Now that is charity, and she's doing it better than any of the twats selfieing themselves giving a knit hat to a homeless guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree in regards to people looking for attention and desperate for “likes” I suppose if it means an uptake in people doing it (though Justin has said he’s not seen an actual increase), it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The sleep in the park is one of the cringiest things I’ve ever seen. It seems to miss the point completely. People spend a night outside and think they now know what it’s like to be homeless. It’s great that so much money is raised for people who are homeless but if you want to get involved then just donate money to the many homeless charities out there instead of making it look like it’s one big party!

As you said before the embellishment was in person and it wasn’t in your face the same. The visualisation of it through some peoples social media makes it more though provoking as such and therefore has a more detrimental effect on some. Its amazing the clarity and happiness you can get just switching off to social media when you are feeling down or struggling with your own self worth. Unfortunately for many its very difficult to do.
