Mine was featured prominently on a poster made by my friends the car parade they threw for my 50th last weekend.

I don’t see how posting your senior picture is a tribute to this year’s seniors anyway. It’s just an excuse to show off your old picture.

This is stupid, even by Facebook standards. It totally feels like it's rubbing it in and is way more about the person posting than anyone else. Most of all, HS kids aren't on Facebook!

Yeah, I've been tempted to post:

Question for the group: Does anyone have a high school or college senior at home that is super psyched that The Olds are all posting their pics from back in the day?

I'll hang up and listen, thanks.

Why do people think that Darwin gets a posthumous boner when stupid people spread a virus? It doesn't only display a complete misunderstanding of natural selection, as if it has a target, but it also implies that there's something virtuous about eugenics. The Nazis did this too.

I think you're reading too much into the general idea, though even then it's not really like the virus only kills the idiots out in public.

Do people posting that meme that if you don't like Trump you should rip up your stimulus check actually think it's his $? I think they might.

I don't know how to feel about the letters. They were sent via USPS, which threw a bunch of money to them, but don't need to be sent at all, so they are a waste of taxpayer money.

Someone didn't take science in high school. And I might as well post a link explaining it to kids since these people's brains haven't developed past 9:

http://www.faqkids.com/299-air-made-of.html
Air is primarily made up of two elements, nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen makes up 78.05% of air and oxygen another 20.95%. The remaining less than 1% is primarily argon, but carbon dioxide, neon, helium, methane and krypton are also present in air. Air also contains suspended dust, spores, and bacteria, as well as water. The amount of air varies tremendously with location, temperature, and time. In deserts and at low temperatures, the content of water can be less that 0.1% by volume. In warm, humid zones the air may contain over 6% water.

Its going to be important to never let these idiots forget their stances and support for Trump if/when this all passes. Some will remain proud, but some will try to walk away and that shouldn't be allowed.

Unfortunately, the one inherent characteristic common in every one of them appears to be shamelessness. They don't strike me as the type of people tha are going to be ashamed to tell their grandchildren about it.

Nonetheless, couldn't agree more.

I've seen a couple people post a video of a supposed doctor saying that quarantine will destroy our immune systems, because if you took a baby and kept it completed isolated, it would never develop immunity or the ability to fight off viruses and bacteria we all easily defeat. Umm, yeah, do adults lose their immunity and ability to fight off weak viruses and bacteria in a matter of weeks? It's not like we don't still come into contact with viruses and bacteria in quarantine. Then there are all the yahoos saying masks cause more harm than good because we are suffocating ourselves.
