The poster who thinks it’s OK to let her non-native cat out to destroy the native wildlife because, as she posts repeatedly, “cats will cat.”

Posters who post out of context from White Fragility or who accuse people of being “privileged” because they’re nostalgic for pre-social media times.

Racism is a serious issue, folks. Don’t devalue conversations by lobbing eggs completely randomly.

I agree it’s misused and aggressive as hell. But you have to admit, some posters are unhinged.


Perhaps, but it's not often. It's lost all meaning on here. As has "follow the science" and "seek therapy" and "you're just jealous".

Posters who, when they’re losing an argument, twist what you said to try to argue something you never said.

Posters who toss out ad hominems. I thought we had all learned to recognize that, which made it a useless and embarrassing strategy, but apparently not.

Slow clap. This one is amazing.


The posters who think they are more clever than they are but really just end up embarrassing themselves.

The poster who lets kids smoke pot in her attic, because you’re all pearl clutchers and what are you going to do?

Dogs are better than kids. For one they don't talk.

I like family picture cards if someone AT LEAST took the time to write “Happy Holidays” and their name. If you didn’t do that, then you’re not sending greetings—you simply want people to look at your family.

I happily post the cards where a person took a moment to send holiday greetings. If they didn’t, there’s no difference between getting a Family Ad from your old college friend or a Family Ad from Minted.

And I do send photo cards myself. I take the time two write at least a line or two and sign for us.

Yes- I think they have deep insecurity about getting a picture of themselves and family and they are jealous of the organized people who do these every year.
Most normal people just look at the picture, maybe display for a bit, then throw it out... and don't mention it to anyone. But this person cannot wait to brag about how much she hates these cards!

MANY deep insecurities!

Can't be happy for other people - doesn't matter the topic - where someone vacations, lives, goes to college.....the list is endless.........

Meanwhile, they were raised in Bethedsda, afforded each and every luxury, and still can't get their head out of their arse.


I don't think it's insecurity. I think it could be deep seeded frustration and sadness. I am one of these people. I have ADHD and was diagnosed as an adult. I am jealous of people and their vacations/lives but I am jealous that they have the bandwith to organize and do these things. I struggle every single day with basic things. I have SO MUCH GUILT as a mom. I worry that my mental health issues will negatively impact my kids, every single day. Parents who preplan trips, cards, holidays, etc. are SO SO lucky. Sometimes its hard to hang up other peoples cards because its like looking at your own failures.
