When I was around 10 there was a furniture store around the corner.
I used to stand in front of its large windows, dreaming of all the pretty things that we would probably never own.
Until one day my parents told me I could go and have a look and make a shortlist for a new TV stand.
Overjoyed, I went in all by myself, ready to hunt for items in our price range.
Only to be confronted with "do you even have money, kid?"
Guess which store my parents never set foot in again.

The "Gundam Effect" is when you tell a story that has significant weight and meaning to it, but you use a framing device so intrinsically appealing that the message gets lost in it. The horrors of war and how it's not an atrocity a thinking species should commit on itself, but you told us with cool robot fights so that's what we notice.
... perhaps no greater example than A Christmas Carol though.
"See, the modern way of urban thinking is fundamentally dehumanizing! Scrooge makes those around him miserable by keeping a personal austerity code and demanding no more than everyone around him adhere to it!"
"Got it! It's about buying a goose for poor people."
"No, it's about the notion that there is so much surplus wealth in this damn city, but people suffer because it's locked behind the walls of people who can't even use it. Scrooge has a room for his spare furniture! He lives alone!"
"Ah, got it. It's about how greedy bastards are the real problem."
"No! He's not greedy, he's a product of the fundamental rules of this Victorian era that have supplanted a more collectivist understanding of how to treat each other! How much better this grim and finite existence would be if we could recognize our shared experience of it and~"
"... and be well-liked so you get into heaven instead of being tossed into a hell-pit or experiencing living cremation."
"That's the movie adaptations!!!"

If you save spreadsheets on page break preview mode and then send them to people…
Please. For all that is good and true in this world.

Saying #DontBeADick is the perfect way to respond to the gish gallop "flood the zone" bullying propaganda tactics of the #MAGA crowd. Talking over you and littering the conversation with lies is intended to mislead and make you sound weak. But responding too harshly or shutting down the conversation gets spun as being anti free speech. You have to expose their strategy, not be intimidated by their edgelord trolling and prove you're the one standing up for good faith dialogue. #Trump #DOGE #uspol

It is a reminder that I am so frustrated that I still have to keep making.
If you could put your judgement, privilege and apathy aside for one moment, think of the lives you could save.

So, this guy blocked me so it won't go to him. This is for anyone who sees this later.
This guy was basically being a dick. He could have just blocked the account or went about his business. But he choose to try and shame me for sharing something I found on Facebook.
When I find interesting things like this on Facebook I basically copy and paste the information here, with a link for anyone who wants to go see the original post. This is because this isn't my original content and when I share it I believe it's important to link back to the creator.
I mark these with the tags #Facebook, #FacebookFinds, and #FacebookGroup.
Any one of those tags can be muted. Like the guy about could have.
He chose to be hateful though.
So while this is all going out into the Void, and won't be seen by the dick in question, if you do see this then take a moment to ask.
If you don't want to see these things you don't have to. They are tagged in a way so you can block them.
But you also have a choice about being a dick about it.
