Countelss road traffic videos of Russians on Youtube, evidently has to do somethig with insurance claims. Russians seem to just wing it and prone to hard liquor consumption. I am probably the only person in the world who hasn't taken a selfie. Which must sound bonkers to anyone teen/20 something person. |

Re: Selfie deaths
I hate people who take selfies at a ratio of more than once a year. I believe they are narcissistic and Facebook, Instagram, whatsapp and their ilk are to blame.
I once took a selfie with the burj in the background two years ago and I was so mercilessly and vehemently ridiculed by my friends that I saw the error of my ways. I believe we as a mankind should go out of our ways to always ridicule and snub any of our friends and friends of our friend so much so that a selfie should become a thing of taboo rather than a thing of self elation. Pro-tip : Always approach a selfie taker head-on with calling his or her nose / forehead as too large and/or calling his or her lineage into question relating his or her's mother mating with a baboon! |

I don't think it is necessarily out of narcissism, though for some people who have become minor internet celebs owing to their selfie taking it does seem like narcissitic behaviour or astute business practice. Another dumb thing is people throwing up the peace sign and those duck faces. Or that moronic planking craze or the ice bucket challenge. My b-in-law did the ice bucket challenge, forcing me to give him crap:lol: |
Re: Selfie deaths

Per capita, I think they are still world leaders in stupidity - although the pips don't fair well either. |

Seriously guys? The selfie's been around pretty much since photography was invented, and was preceeded by painting self-portraits. The greats have taken them, and continue to do so. Anyone going to argue with Cartier-Bresson or Ansell Adams?
Attachment 123982 Attachment 123983 Attachment 123984 FB is a way of keeping in touch with distant family and friends, and whilst I'm happy to see pics of where mine are I relish seeing those pics with both them and their locations. |

Re: Selfie deaths
Pretty or ugly, it was all the same. Top or bottom? How big is it? Here's a pic. Your place or mine?
At least with Tinder there's a bit more subtly involved.

Re: Selfie deaths
This thread suddenly needs some Clorox Bleach.
The Colorox Bleach here is 8.25% sodium hypochlorite. Used to be 5.5% or 5.9%. |
