Misfortune follows us throughout our lives. Sometimes you're trying to insult a celebrity. Sometimes you're trying to skip in front of traffic like a douche. Sometimes you're trying to give a person a compliment, create a work of art or fix something to the best of your ability. On all sides of the spectrum, there is failure.
Memes
Sometimes it's hard to tell what crosses the line from genius into completely moronic. These moments do a pretty good job of straddling the ever elusive "Threshold of Stupid." Anyway, if you can find a dad, any dad, they'd probably enjoy these.
Author, Kate O'Neill used her platform on Twitter to encourage people participating in online activities like the recent, trending profile picture aging meme on Facebook, to slow down and think about it critically. O'Neill asks people to consider how willingly posting that information online for Facebook's seemingly sentient algorithm to digest, can have a ripple effect on society as a whole; how that information can be fed into worldwide databases, sold off to advertising agencies, and used to exploit the very people that upload it, without considering the impacts, in the process. She doesn't aim to inspire panic in this Twitter thread, but instead, she wants us to think critically when considering the fast-changing landscape of the world around us. Some solid advice!
