Slacktivism is

Well that "slacktivism" has helped raise $94.3 million and counting so far compared to the $2.7 million als.org recieved during the same period last year. People have always been doing silly things to garner attention to a cause. Yellow bracelets, pink stuff during sporting events, mustaches during November, I don't really see the problem.

I hate all of those things too!

Pretty much everything posted by Buzzfeed, huffpost, the blaze, fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc etc etc.

Having to shit and finding puddles of piss on the floor - unless I clean it up, my pants, belt, and/or keys are going to dabble.

People ordering a food item for the first time and changing it all around. Brisket? Gyro? what's that? what's on that? ok I'll take it, but remove the signature items and add cheese and mayo.
Just try it the way it's intended and then make adjustments.

ADT, the home alarm monitoring company.

Worst fucking customer service ever. I have had nothing but problems with this company since day 1. Its been so long now I don't even remember, but somehow we found out they weren't even monitoring our home the first two months because the satellite phone wasn't working. They don't do weekend or evening calls so my wife or I scheduled time off of work for someone to be there and they call the hour of the appointment to say they aren't going to make it that day and would be back tomorrow. I run home from work the next day to meet the guy, he fixes it, and adt wanted to charge us to fix their fucking problem with the thing never working in the first place. I called to complain and a manager was supposed to call me back and of course never did, so I had to call back again. We can only set the delayed alarm because if we set the instant alarm our 13 lb shitzu sets off the motion sensor when the initial guy said no way would a small dog trip the alarm, it is heat sensitive and it would take ~40 lb animal to trip it. And the latest thing, they called about 2 months ago about some bull shit they have to come out and install some new thing for our satellite phone. Again, they don't do evenings our weekends and the soonest appointment they had, since they have to do this for every customer was 2 months away. ALSO, the time frame in which they gave me was something absurd like Noon to 6, two months in the future. So I reluctantly agreed and said be sure to call the day before so we can be sure someone will be home. I was busy at work so I just wrote adt on my work calendar. It was so long ago they called when I flipped the calendar to august and saw adt written on 8/28, I'm like wtf is adt, I had already forgotten all about it at that time because it was already so long ago. So guess who didn't get a phone call yesterday and guess who showed up at my house today right at noon? Yeah, adt can go fuck themselves.

Those are for drugs, i think....

FUCKING POISON IVY. Shit is everywhere I've had it for two weeks on my legs and just when I thought I got rid of it I get a fucking hive breakout on my hands.

GOD DAMNIT.

And how much of that 94.3 million is actually going to go towards research?

Who fucking knows, none of us are going to know whether the money is properly used. The point, the ONLY point, is that its working. To be Counter Culture, on the basis of it being "trendy" is Uber Tool status.


Also Macs are overpriced as shit, but they run the best OS you can buy, if you're going to buy an OS, and you're not tech. You're taking an Economics class, not a tech class so that makes a lot of sense.

Also college is jimmy rustling. Out of the 20 laptops that were being used in my international econ class yesterday, a good 16-17 of them were Apple. Fucking college kids.

I thought you were going to say "...16-17 of them were surfing Facebook or Reddit because their self entitled faggot asses didn't think they needed to pay attention in class, that was being paid for my mommy and daddy"

**also, fuck 95% of college kids. Worthless pieces of shit whine about doing any real work and expect to have a job waiting for them after they "graduate" from college, AKA: free house, free Range Rover, free food 24/7 for 4 (maybe 6) years.

Unlike certain celebrity fundraising phenomenons, the donations are headed to a good place: The ALS Association is a highly respected charity.

Charity Navigator gives the association four stars - its best rating - and the organization is trying to be transparent and proactive.
