11:54a - Indoor/outdoor cat wank
http://www.livejournal.com/community/stupidpetowners/1112254.html

Starts out like a typical stupidpetowners entry as of late; something that's possibly a little daft, but not outright stupid.
My cats are indoor/outdoor too, though the outdoor portion is in a fenced yard or on a leash.

The person being mocked is not amused.
It's my cat and I'll do what I want!

Wank happens as others try to tell her that OMG CATS SHOULD NEVER BE LET OUTSIDE EVAR!! U R STUPID!!!
Typical replies of, "No, YOU'RE stupid!"
Usual arguments of, "Your way isn't the only right way!" from both sides.
It degenerates really into a lot of screaming back and forth over whether letting your cat go or live outside makes one a stupid/cruel pet owner.

It gets extra fun when thirdjane, the alleged stupid pet owner, goes off to create her own community called "smartpetowners".
There is no foot stomping "I'm LEAVING" post from her as I don't think she was a member of stupidpetowners in the first place, but there is a dig left in the community info:

You are not a SPO. There's no reason for 98% of the posts at [info]stupidpetowners

Should be interesting to see if intercommunity wank unfolds.
So far, the premise seems to have an undertone of, "It doesn't matter what sort of idiocy you subject your pet to, we'll never tell you that you're wrong because that's not nice."
Hopefully I'm wrong on that count.

There was evidently some additional wank (<-- post is f-locked) yesterday that I missed.
No screencaps of that as of yet; supposedly thirdjane posted a huge stroppy rant, then deleted it after a whole mess of comments.

12:25p - Entitlemoo or Fantasy Fiction... you decide!
It all begins with a mother bragging about how she got back at the horrid waitstaff at Crazy Wraps!

See the shock, the horror of the Childfree community!

Be completely unsurprised by the reaction of the denizens of customers_suck!

Witness the inablility to understand why people don't get that it's just a joke! I'm not a bitch, really!

...*headdesk*

Edit: Oh, goodie... dead baby heads. Just what the thread needed.

1:50p - Linguaphiles wank about... um... language!
So [info]alternemo posts in [info]linguaphiles asking if anyone else has noticed that there is an unusually large percentage of gay men among the members. Unfortunately for him, he uses the word "homo". Cue wank.

Includes: I'm offended on your behalf, since you're gay and I'm not!.

OMG don't discriminate against left-handed people!

Troll in the dungeon!

Is fpb in the f_w drinking game yet?

I posted, but I'm pretty sure I didn't wank, hence this goes in [info]otf_wank.

ETA: Alas, [info]fpb has deleted his comments, and everyone else seems to be calming down. [info]linguaphiles are so good-natured...

10:08p - Song as Old as Time
Some very clever person decided to release the results of a study that indicate that men have a higher IQ than women.

Unsurprisingly, this ends up on Slashdot.

This devolves. Quickly.

At just a quick stare-through, I saw that religious fanatasism is the new punk, men are lazy and women are overly emotional, which is why women do better on tests, but can't handle life, the whole study is trollbait, it's not trollbait, cuz that's something else entirely, and that the man who did the study also thinks that blacks are dumber than whites.

All that is in response to the first comment. Which, just to be different, wasn't "first".
