If there’s one thing the digital age has taught us, it’s that nothing disappears from the internet. Everyone keeps receipts of past social media activity in some form, a few of which may bite back in the future.
That’s where the Facepalm subreddit comes in. This online group collects screenshots of people’s posts worthy of the spotlight of shame, some from public figures. 8.3 million members keep the page alive with tweets and replies showing how questionably some people’s minds work.
Go ahead and see for yourself. Here’s a compilation of the images that stood out to us. Some may shake your faith in humanity, so proceed with caution.

My company, privately held so no public stock, is projected to only make 3.3 billion in profits this year, down from 3 5 last. As a result we are laying off thousands of workers, cutting resources to existing workers, being given more work and responsibilities with no pay, yet no executives are loosing bonuses or being let go.

Nursing homes are absolutely scamming people. They charge per-patient at hundreds of dollars a day, not just double-dipping on having aides take care of multiple patients at a time but more like decasextuple-dipping. They make around 20 to 100x what they pay those aides per hour, depending on how "ethical" they are relatively.

Where I worked, barely making above minimum wage, it was $7k+ a week. Beyond absurd! And yo bet we were scammed as employees. I was told that I'd get my vacation pay paid out during my FMLA when I had my baby and later when I called to ask when I'd get that pay I was told I hadn't filled out the necessary paperwork to get it. I ended up walking away from a s**t job that owned me 5 days of vacation pay. I couldn't go back because I knew they wouldn't give me the legally required break time to pump milk for my baby. Meanwhile the owners were just raking it in charging families up the butt and paying staff the bare minimum.

Who said it's radical to tax the rich in the first place? The question isn't whether they should be taxed- they are - it's at what level and how to make sure there aren't dozens of ways to legally dodge it. The logical place to start (in the US) is for Congress to do an All Hands On Deck search for people to help them rewrite the tax code - people at least as smart as private sector tax lawyers who know how to shelter, exploit loopholes, etc because it's obviously not a fair fight the way it is.

I have asthma, and I carry at least one inhaler with me all the time. I can understand feeling suffocated, because it happened to me too many times when I was wearing a mask. Thing is, my blood oxygen saturation (i was carrying a pulse oximenter with me too) during these events was good, so contrary to what I felt, I was not in fact suffocating. I am not sure why I felt the way I felt, maybe it was some psychosomatic reaction, but wearing a mask did not caused my oxygene saturation to drop.

Instead of raising minimum wage, how about creating a maximum wage. Seriously, if you can't survive on$250k/yr, you've got a money management problem. Lets pay elected officials average household income AFTER the bills are paid. Then and only then MIGHT they understand what raising MW actually does.

Mine would've cut me in half when the mounting point was pushed in and back 18 inches and state police determined either of his would've killed him.

If some US citizens want to campaign for universal healthcare and avoid unnecessary critics, they should work on their vocabulary. It's not 'free healthcare'. But socialised (or mutualised if you don't want to scare off the republicans lol). You do pay a contribution each month (which is a certain sum) depending on your salary, however each citizen gets the same access to health services regardless of his situation (and illegal immigrants are also covered btw). So you (a fairly wealthy person) may pay quite a deal of money for years without going to the doctor, but you know that your neighbor who earns a petty salary will have all of her treatment covered for her breast cancer, and you're fine with the idea. Saying that because it's not a 'getting free things' deal but 'what matters to us as a society' thing, "am I ok with an unbalance about what I pay for and what I benefit from immediately".

My very first chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer was $127,000+. Not including my oncologist, phlebotomists, specialists, labs, meds required before every session, having a port put in, and tons of other things. $127,000 JUST for 1 round of chemotherapy. Add in the rest and it was well over $350,000 every time. My other medications were separate. I had them push my surgery up by 6 weeks because I was at 100% covered till the end of the year. My surgeon & oncologist made it happen to save me over $400,000. All told, 6 rounds of chemotherapy, medications, 18 rounds of some med I had to have every 3 weeks for a year, surgery, follow ups, mammogram, cost over $1.3 million until I was considered "cancer free" 5 years later. No one can afford this kind of $hit! I was lucky. A $5,000 grant got me to 100% which covered most of it. And I still owed $32k.

How about this fact? Anyone who in Congress or the Senate has healthcare services 10x better than the average American and gets to keep it even when/if they leave office. They also pay into a separate "retirement" plan (as well as SS) that they also get to keep. How? They voted on it themselves years ago (and have increased it several times) w/o telling the public by adding it to an unrelated bill at the last minute. To make sure the bill passes, its allowed to go through. Everyone in this country should have access to the same exact healthcare and retirement systems. Make it mandatory, make it a law. Hell, make an amendment to the constitution that it has to be done that way. Do that and watch how fast it gets changed for the better - for Everyone!

I used to work from home all the time and now work in a job where I do 4 days in the office. Honestly? I like going to the office, it's only a 12 minute walk from my house anyway, but it's pretty relaxed and I like my coworkers. I would prefer to do 2 days from home but at least in my situation I'm pretty lucky.

First and foremost I blame post secondary schools and their out of control tuition costs. In most US colleges and universities, the administration far exceeds the size of the faculty and is paid much more than faculty as well. Most faculty members start out with salaries that are less than what high school teachers earn. But novice administrators often top this by tens of thousands of dollars. And all of this administration needs office space, and this requires new buildings with maintenance staff, etc. This is what has been largely driving the college debt crisis over the last 40 years.

She's not wrong. Some people's political agendas have destroyed what was acceptable and caused phobia and hatred by (possibly) false militancy on the opposing side. The needle is swinging wildly between the parties and people become outraged when they see egregious examples on either side.

the issue in the US is not that trains dont run on time or frequent enough its that only in certain CITIES are there trains. Everywhere else you need a car to get around.

Germany is roughly the size of Montana. The US is 28 times larger than Germany. The German train system wouldn't be able to achieve this in the US even at its peak. Sometimes you can't make a comparison, even to just make yourself feel superior.
Pernille 1 year ago
Then Montana should be able to have an effective public transport system. Your excuse of how big the US is sounds more and more hollow, especially when in another post some other US america is insisting that each state is more like a separate country.

Musk, your stance here is terrible. You're holding the handle too tightly, and far too close to the tsuba, your point is too low, your arms are overextended, your shoulders are squared meaning you're presenting the largest possible target, and from what I can see of your legs, your footwork is even worse. You'd be on your tuchus in ten seconds against an opponent of even moderate skill. Sincerely, someone who actually knows something about swords.
