weird people on the internet

[Alpo]

My son-in-law texted me a link to Instagram. So I go look. Eventually it opened up for me. You know, because Instagram doesn't want to open for you unless you're logged in. If you're not a member - well, they might let you look. Maybe.

 

So I get it open and there's this little black girl playing on a jungle gym. And then there's some screaming and the camera pans up, and maybe 5 ft above her on the jungle gym is this little black boy. And he's crying because he peed his pants.

 

So apparently his father thought it would be a good thing to take a movie of the little boy peeing his pants and put it on the internet.

 

I can see you know five or six years from now, some little kid in the fifth grade coming up to him - hey Tommy I just saw an old video of you up on the jungle gym peeing your pants. Wow!

 

Why would somebody do that to their kid. For likes?

 

"I posted a video of my kid peeing his pants and I got 20,000 likes! Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!"

Instead of filming with an 8mm camera, having the film developed, and running it at family gatherings and for his girlfriend.

Weird people?  Son, you have to narrow that down.  You just posted on a site made up some of the weirdest people I can imagine.....and most you are good folks.  Well, maybe you aren't.

 

If you want weird, look at the leaders of almost every government from HOAs to president, royalty, tyrants, and the list goes on.

I just finished watching a youtube video of people who got fired because of recording themselves for tick tack videos at work, or complaining about work on tick tack. And most of them were complaining about getting fired.

I just don't get the whole recording yourself and posting it online thing. Yes, I'm a borderline Luddite, but when I was working, I was WORKING! My employer wanted me to perform certain tasks, and that's what I was there to do.

No surprises, the internet is a reflection of who people truly are, What they do in closed doors while now one is watching.

Except that now people WANT to be watched for some reason. And then they complain that they have no privacy.

You realize that on most of these platforms the amount of likes and views you get you can get paid. There’s people on TikTok that make a living posting stuff. YouTube as well. Yea, it’s all about the money!

If they're making good money doing that, then why be worried about being fired?

The people I’m talking about it IS their job to create videos to get likes and views.

And they all shop at Walmart.

I understand that. The guys that used to be on Motor Trend TV all got canned a year or so back, and they've all pretty much gone to youtube for their income.

These people HAD regular jobs that they hated or did poorly, either got caught making content while at work, (as opposed to doing the work they were being paid to do), made disparaging content ABOUT their work, or otherwise did something that might reflect on their employer, (one guy was driving drunk in uniform), and got fired for it.

Hey! I shop at Walmart.
Oddly enough we don’t see any Walmartians here. We saw some doozies in California and Oregon.

You need to learn logic.

 

saying “weird people shop at Walmart”

 

is not the same as saying “all people who shop at Walmart are weird”

 

some people who shop at Walmart are weird, some people who shop at Walmart are not weird.

Perhaps you need to learn to read…or copy and paste the correct post.

they AIN'T limited to the internet

I've never seen Walmartians.

 

I've shopped at Walmart in North Florida and in South Florida, in Alabama, in Georgia, in Indiana, in Illinois, and in Wisconsin.

 

Oh, and in San Juan Puertorico.

 

Only place I have ever seen Walmartians is the internet.

 

I recall seeing this young black gentleman one time - appeared to be mid 20s. Wearing pajamas and a bathrobe, with his hair in curlers, and his head covered with a woman's stocking to hold the curlers in place. But this was not in a Walmart. This was in a neighborhood convenience store. This was in the '80s, and I still remember it, which should show how rare an occurrence that was.

 

I have seen many mothers shopping with their children and the kids are wearing pajamas. But that's always been grocery stores.

I always marvel at the tourists who take selfies with, or put their kids on the bison at Yellowstone.

Exactly, You post something only for everyone to see and you want them to keep their opinion to themselves. Weird.

Not exactly. They want your opinion, but they want your opinion the be THEIR opinion. Otherwise you're a fascist, racist, Nazi, bigot, homophobe, or whatever the insult of the week is. 

[Rye Miles #13621]

I’ve never seen WalMartians either. The one I go to has .22’s and Win AA shotgun ammo as well as other ammo.

Yeah!  Hey Martha, take the kids over by the bears so I can get their picture,  Don't worry, they're tame.

 

NO!  THEY DAMN SURE ARE NOT TAME!
