Theres not really anything social about social media, if anything, social media encourages people to be distant from each other and in their own little world/bubble. There are people nowadays who won't do anything in life if theres not a picture or video to post and comment about. They live to be seen on social media, YouTube, or reality TV, where everything is staged. What happened to enjoying what you were doing so much at the time that you didnt think to film it, you already missed your opportunity to film it and it didnt matter, you got to be human for a few minutes, you were as close to who you really were as you get, no image. That must have ended in the 90s with VCR's for some people.
Social media provides the illusion of being part of a large network, meanwhile some people are getting rich via this platform. There was a time before social media where people actually knew each other in real life and had actual life experience with the other person, rather than the virtual image of someone on a computer screen.

Get the Social media mug.Things work a little different when you're in your own neighborhood versus when you're somewhere you're not from.
There was no greater hypocrisy than someone not from an area/neighborhood trying to run somebody who was from the area/neighborhood off. The fact that the girl held nothing about the neighborhood sacred didn't mean nobody else did. It began to get highly inflammatory for a good reason.

Get the Neighborhood mug.An overutitlized word, a lot of journalists write things like dropped to make their writing sound tougher. If a guy hasn't landed on his head, or fell 2 or more storeys against his will, he wasn't really dropped, he was just knocked down (if he went all the way down).
Quarterbacks who got sacked didn't get dropped (no matter how many yards they lost in the process), they got knocked down. The same applies to a guy getting knocked down in any other sport.

Get the Dropped mug.Telling people they can live together as friends even though they have no reason to trust the person telling them that is a good way to get them accustomed to falling in line with an agenda. Gaining their trust, eliminating/crushing resistance to an agenda, and access to or control of something is the intention of someone that does that. People already know who their friends are in life.

Get the Friends mug.Being told where your money is going, or even being shown paperwork isnt the same as knowing where your money is going, or being in control of where your money is going, or what it's being spent on. If it seems to make sense to be suspicious of where your money is really going, that's because it does make sense to be suspicious of where your money is going.
The people collecting money from people like dishonest tax collectors claimed to be a charity, and many charities that stole from people did have official names and were official organizations. That didnt make the people running them trustworthy people.

Get the Charity mug.A way for a female to say she's better than a guy based on shallow external traits like physical appearance. Just about any guy that likes pussy is going to agree without questioning what makes females feel like they're so much better than guys because they can carry a baby for nine months and give birth.
That guy must be queer as a three dollar bill he doesn't believe a girl is better than him because she thinks she's better than him. People told him she's out of your league and he didn't know what the big deal was like they did because he was too narcissistic to understand or talk or think about anything but himself.

Get the Out of your league mug.The broke guy has enough m's missing from his bank account that he could donate them to alphabets in quite a few languages.
