Digital cameras, selfies and selfie sticks are the main causes of rampant narcissism we see now.

I remember a time when we had to use film in our cameras which needed to be developed. Since there were only a limited number of shots on each roll of film, and developing them was expensive, we were very selective about the photos we took. We certainly didn't take 20 selfies in a row to get the perfect shot. Going on trip or an outing was about enjoying the moment, either by ourselves or with friends/family, and less about taking photos. And the photos we did take were for our own collections, or to perhaps share with others when they made a social visit to our house since there was no Facebook or Instagram.

The purpose of any activity these days seems to be manufacturing moments to take the perfect selfie with your besties to upload onto social media accounts. Watch any group of people in their early twenties at a restaurant, take note of the quantity of selfies taken during the meal, and ask yourself if those photos are truly representative of the enjoyment they were having while sharing a meal with their friends. Or visit a famous tourist spot and try to look for the people who are there primarily to experience the spot - it's very difficult among the hordes of people who are there solely for the purpose taking shitty selfies to instantly upload to social media, which in itself is solely for the purpose of gaining attention online.

In the past you would just ask someone else to take your picture. Or use a timer and tripod.

This. Don't get the whole "selfie stick" phenomenon. I always ask the people around me to take a picture. Funny thing I have also opened girls this way in bars/clubs when they are trying to take selfies and almost all of them always accept my offer. The cameras on the front of the phone are shit anyway and don't produce good pics.

Another one - using young women as breeders for old broads. Lucy Liu just did this:

The 46-year-old actress announced on Thursday that she welcomed a baby boy via gestational carrier.

A "gestational carrier"
a.k.a., a young woman who hasn't yet waited until she's a geriatric to have kids and sells her body to old rich women because Starbucks and web-camming ain't paying the rent .

Quote:

"Introducing the new little man in my life, my son Rockwell Lloyd Liu," the Elementary star, who had not previously reveal that she was expecting a child via surrogate, wrote on a sweet Instagram pic of her looking lovingly at her newborn son. "In ❤!"

Liu’s rep confirmed the happy news to ET, adding, "Mom and baby are healthy and happy!"

This is Liu’s first child.

The only thing she was expecting was to use some younger woman to escape her half of God's curse, childbearing, while she rode the cock carousel as her fertility expired.

This is what it's come down to - harvesting healthy, often poor, husks of lower class women to support the gentry in their never ending saga of me-ism.

Here's another perfect example of our cultural collapse - the MTV Video Music Awards are on tonight, hosted by no other than ..... Miley Cyrus.

I don't think there's a single media event that encompasses everything degenerate about our culture so totally.

I was forced to read that in High School by my short-haired Lesbian English teacher. There was a fight over it being appropriate for High School students but the other short-haired Lesbian teachers backed her up with the threat of industrial action. (My first observation of SJW Entryism to destabilise traditional structures was the Education System - dykes are always rife trying to indoctrinate children).

Back to The Handmaid's Tale. It's fevered Anti-Christian paranoia and hatred disguised as Speculative Fiction, written by Margaret Atwood, a Canadian Woman who was 'surrounded by the intellectual dialogue of the female faculty members at Victoria College at University of Toronto'. She went to great pains to sniff down her nose at the novel being labeleld 'Science Fiction', and instead claimed the novel 'could actually happen'.

Unfortunately, no-one laughed at her.

It was made into a film in the early 90's, and barely made back 5 million of it's 13 million budget, being the second and final movie made of any of her 16 full-length novels.

It's still frequently-challenged by school-libraries as inappropriate reading for high school children and as being 'pure male hatred', but usually got hand-waved away with the very Free Speech and Anti-Censorship arguments current Feminists claim are no longer applicable excuses in polite society.

There's actually more cultural collapse here than is being reported.

The kid's last name is Liu. That means there's no real dad involved -- just a sperm donor. So it's not like she had a kid via surrogate while part of a couple (which is what I assumed).

She basically ordered a kid via a sperm donor and a surrogate, as if she was ordering up a latte at Starbucks. I guess the supposedly smart Liu hasn't read all the articles about how sperm donor kids suffer -- articles that even made it into left wing places like Slate (from 2010: "New study shows sperm-donor kids are not really all right").

The other stories you'll find when researching these kids online is their obsession with seeking out their bio-dads. This throws into question why and woman would go this route if the kids are just going to spend their lives searching for their missing parent.

I know women who have gone the "single mother by choice" route either by sperm donor or otherwise. The one thing I can say is this:

If a woman can't get along with a man long enough to forge a relationship, she won't be able to get along with a kid long enough to forge a bond with the kid either.

Good luck, little Liu. You'll need it.

Samseau. Believe it or not but there were even talks about changing the warning signs for elks.
Because all the current elk warning signs have an image of a male elk with horns. Now somebody started to scream that the horns should be removed because there are also female elks around.

Another thing was changing the red yellow and green lightd to more "rainbow friendly" colours.

I'm so tired of all the attention gender equality questions and sexual minorities are getting in the media. It feels like they are trying to make people feeling guilty if you are not supporting their leftist agenda.

The harder they push this shit the faster it will blow up in their face as the majority swings hard to the right.

I was on a cruise with family last week, and the number of people I saw with selfie sticks was unbelievable. I did a tour by jet ski and motherfuckers were jamming up the line and nearly caused a couple accidents trying to take photos of themselves. And it wasn't just young women.

Even in places where there was no cell service and no way to even get online to attention whore, people were more focused on getting the best picture of themselves to share than actually enjoying the vacation.

I stood behind a group of young, well dressed, muscular-ish Arab lads recently, queueing to get on a plane in Dubai.

My gf and i were struggling not to laugh at their incessant, constant selfie taking...in a fucking terminal to plane walkway! They must have taken over 100 each in the ten minutes, no joke.

I remember going on the Twilight Zone ride at California Adventure and there was a Chinese faggot filming the whole thing on his cell phone. The ride takes a photo when it drops to capture everybody’s shocked expression and in the photo this faggot has the cellphone in front of his face. I’d rather “be in the moment” and enjoy the ride for what it is.

I never film any rides or shows. If I really want to see video of the ride again, I know that some other faggot has uploaded it to Youtube.

Any cunt who takes a selfie should have their arm cut off Saudi style. The way I approach a photo is – “if I really like this photo, can I blow it up and frame it and put it on display at my place?” You can’t do that with selfies.

When I was in Tokyo on my own I asked random people to take my photo.

Look at this prick ruining his wedding ceremony (from 2009)

Just Married: Groom Changes Facebook Relationship Status at the Altar

Quote:

We've seen plenty of Twittered marriage proposals, but a recent video posted to YouTube takes the cake for the most unconventional Twitter and Facebook update.

During his wedding ceremony, Dana Hanna whipped out his mobile device and not only changed his relationship status to married on Facebook, but also sent out a tweet announcing that the couple had become man and wife.

Can't this shithead put his phone down for a few hours?!

^ I'm not sure if that's a service or disservice. If it brings the government's attention to this loophole around having a family without being attacked, they'll close it. That closure will probably involve more stringent confirmation that there truly is no intact family.

The last time I listened to the Specials' second album -- which has the song "Hey, Little Rich Girl" -- was 15 years ago.

Listening to this song again, it's really obvious how things have changed since then. (Spoiler alert! The ending of the song is described below.)

In "Hey, Little Rich Girl," the Specials describe the life of a decadent young girl who is spoiled with all sorts of things, but blows her inheritance. The "punch line," as it were, is contained in the song's last verse:

"At your dad's office party
All the movies were blue
Caused him so much heart ache,
Because the screen star was you"

This might have been a source of shame in 1980 when the song came out, or in 2000 when I rediscovered the album and began playing it obsessively. But after Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian became two of the world's biggest celebrities because of their sex tapes, this scenario isn't shameful anymore.

So the song's surprise ending has lost its punch, sad to say. What seemed positively scandalous a scant 15 years ago is now not just quaint, but an actual career path for women -- or at least "rich girls." If that's not a sign of cultural collapse, I don't know what is.

That should be non-negotiable. If a girl wants the benefits of marriage, she should take her husband's name.

The Rave Scene.





Over the past decade, the rave scene has absolutely exploded. I can't help but notice the correlation of it's popularity with the ubiquity of far left beliefs. The rave culture is based upon chaos and disorder. I've been to a couple such "events" when I was talked into going by some friends, and I have to say this scene is nothing at all like what people who are into it would like you to believe. They say it's all about peace and acceptance, I say thats bullshit. The people you encounter at raves are shady as fuck. Just the fact that everyone there is on some form of hard drugs should tell you all you need to know. The fact that the rave scene has grown exponentially, and shows no signs of slowing down is alarming to me. The people that attend these events are not the kind, loving accepting types that they pretend to be. It's populated by degenerates. There is no cohesion to the music itself; it requires the entire audience to be drugged up on "molly" in order to partake in what's going on around them.

The rave scene is a symptom of serious societal problems. If we lived in a sane society where people felt a connection to their peers, family, and community, "raving" would be the last thing on their minds. It's about becoming disconnected. It's about forgetting who you are. It's about becoming a face in the crowd and losing your "inhibitions" (or identity).
