How is that a brag? What a dingleberry.

Yes, and I'm going to take a lot of abuse for this comment and possibly be kicked off BP, but right now being gay, trans, whatever is a lot more popular than not. As with other areas (mental health for example) those who try to fit in with the 'in group' are detrimental to those who really do belong.

The book is always better than the movie. The book is the entire story, as seen through the eyes of the author and interpreted by your brain. A movie is the writer’s and director’s reworking of the author’s story, to make it fit in a time slot and appeal to a range of audiences by cutting whole characters and storylines, framing for the modern perspective. and adding gratuitous nudity.

Then instead of Teachers they should be called Failers

Ugh, I hate seeing over-fed pets ☹️

Or not believing in science.

People who are proud of being "brutally honest" only care about the "brutal" not the "honest". Its perfectly possible to be honest without being a jerk.

Spreading viruses and making others ill. It is not good. It is pathetic.

Gonna disagree with this one. I'm one of those people that hasn't had to call off work last minute. To be fair though, I also rarely get sick, and when I do, it's at most a runny nose and/or cough, which I feel isn't a valid enough reason to call off work (those symptoms aren't debilitating and can be contained so you're not spreading your germs). Plus, people call off work for reasons other than sickness.

Maybe they haven't been sick for years.

I've never really heard this voiced as a brag, only as a complaint because the vast majority of jobs don't offer paid sick time. Or as a complaint because some employees take off all the time and we wonder what it's like to be independently wealthy.

People who actually experience long periods of good heath talk about that, not work.

And shared your disease with others

People bragging that they missed the last minutes of their dying father's life, that they left a loved ones funeral to go back to work, ignoring kids and spouses for work, why would anyone be proud of that?

..and thus contaminating other. In that sense Covid was a good thing. Made us aware of it... (flu, fommon cold etc.)

This!! Same for student who never missed days.

And when you have 5 days a year sick leave...you have no choice.

There are only two possible reasons for this. You've never gotten sick? Then you're lucky. You've gotten sick and went to work anyway? Then you're an an a**hole.

The same people will cough without covering their mouths too..

I think for the African American community it is a little bit different. It is only recently that we have started outwardly taking pride in being black because for the longest time in society we were told we are not good enough, smart enough or capable enough just because of the color of our skin. When you get told that for 100's of years, most in the community start to internalize this. So we are basically trying to undo a lot of generational trauma by being loud and proud about being black and uplifting ourselves. We are not saying we are better than anyone per se, but we are trying to uplift ourselves because in the past no one else would. I hope that makes sense 😊

you have no defence if you are drunk driving. Grow up, you are pathetic.

*coughcoughTrumptardscough*

I sometimes make the vroom vroom sounds.... but entirely by accident. I get a bit scared when the car goes VRROOOOOOOMMMM! when all I expected was a mini-vroom.

Its OK to say it aloud

What a twatbasket your ex was.

Blind brand loyalty based on popularity is one thing.. Brand Loyalty based on a good product that delivers what it promises and more is not a bad thing.

Internet clout is like Monopoly money.

Yes. You're not hard working, you're just sad, and everyone's counting down the days till your mental breakdown.

This partially incorrect. Being religious is a bizarre thing to be proud of unless you are part of the right religion, like me, we are just trying to help all you heathens from burning in Hell for eternity.

We had a family friend who, at 15, decided she wanted to join a gang. After her 'initiation," she was so badly mangled that she had to have a closed casket funeral. Gangs are not cool or fun, kids.

Not so sure about this one. This flex could land you in a presidency.

I think we've all seen that FB post where OP says that they can never make their mom's recipes the way she does, and a commenter spends 3 paragraphs wingeing about how OP's post was hurtful and offensive because their (commenter's) mother was an alchoholic and a drug addict and blah blah blah...case in point.

I see a lot of stuff like this and I usually agree. Having grown up in the south and being surrounded by far-right beliefs as a liberal I know some very good people that are conservative. But I find it different with "MAGA" to support Trump you have to disconnect yourself from reality in some regard, be hateful, or just ignorant. Now I'm not saying that Biden is good or even most democrats. They still act with self interest, but as the alt-right seems to take over the typically conservative, it's no longer just a differing of opinion on what's best, it's actively working against LITERAL NAZIS running for office and seating in Congress.

It's amazing to me how many people wear their assholishness as a giant badge of honor.

Yeh, this is utter bull. Be interested in it but it's NOT your whole identity..

If you need to work these hours due to poverty and low earning jobs I feel for you. If it is you hustling and working non stop like the morons on the linkedin page earlier, you need to step back and take a look at your priorities.

This should have faded away by the time you turn 20 - if it was a thing at all. Anyone btagging about this later in life is just pathetic.

There are knobbers who think like this?

"Guess what, I had an IQ test today." "And?" "Thankfully it was negative."

What’s so wrong about being proud of your origins? I swear most of the posts here are just insecure people.
