Also, too many cat gifs...

I do not need any MEAN help to lose weight. It is not appreciated and therefore stop saying you are helping us, you are NOT!

Are you my MIL? Because you kinda sound like her. :huh:

ScarletFyre

Well, for one thing we're hungry and that makes us cranky.

For another many of the ladies here seem to hang with this shady dude named TOM. He seems to put them in a bad mood.

it took me like 20 min to figure out how to post a gif- none of mine worked- and I post pictures regularly here- but the gif I picked- it wasn't having it. I was so irritated- but then- there was a gif- and it got better.

I cant' wait to get home and catch up on gifs.
seriously. it's going to be awesome.

I'll take the mean people over the keto people or the anti-sugar people or the clean eating people.

You ever step on a Lego? It hurts like a Mother F-er!

Try an old school lego wheel. They used to come as a block and two wheels - the wheels had pins that pushed into the block. My daughter suddenly started crying in the middle of the night once and I went into her room all sleepy eyed in the dark and stepped on one of the wheels. I actually had to pull it out of my heel where it had pierced in the full length - about half an inch. yowsers.

Sometimes I think "mean" is a euphemism for "funny".

It makes it sound more badass and thusly more palatable for today's times and our independant, no-filter, social media driven society.

Mean people threads are almost the zeitgeist of this second decade of the millenia. Possibly more so than terms like "troll", the hashtag, and the selfie or other terms previously beleived to hold that title.

It's a catchall term that encompasses so much of what affects our society today.

-bullying
-online opinion
-online persona
-etc. and so on

Now that the masses have gotten comfortable with all forms of social media and it is acceptable to date, play, coordinate, organize, invite, vent, and everything else online, the "mean people" thread is where the boundaries get drawn and analyzed and ettiquette/human decency gets sussed out.

It's for me one of the most interesting dynamics of this site to watch. I suspect it's similar on other sites but I find those devolve too far into nonsense and luls and here, reason is usually easier to follow. I like that about MFP.

OH! ....and OP...you GOT me, I totally thought this was gonna be another mean people thread.

:drinker:

Hey, OP!!!

I'm with you on this. The clean eaters that I have had run ins with are the absolute worst.

sisterlilbunny

18 pages later and you all didn't include my favorite kitty gifs. I'm disappointed you all are so mean.




ROFLMAO and it's even funnier when they line up!

This one cracks me up every single time I see it.

My least favorite people are the ones bashing people for why they want to lose weight. Who cares why? Maybe I want to be a super model, maybe I want to be a stick for halloween. who frickin cares?! just want to talk about losing weight not why you reason is so much better than mine haha

It's not a matter of who's got a better reason. Are you saying the community should support someone asking how to lose more weight when they are underweight or possibly disordered? Or to stop someone from making a spur of the moment decision that could effect their health?

You should care about the reasoning because yes, it matters.

ETA : context is everything
