This is the literal act of ignoring the person right in front of you in favor of your phone, and "quizzing you" is demeaning. Psychologically, it sends a powerful, and vindictive message that whatever is on your screen from IG is more interesting than you.

But we all look forward to the yearly happy birthday post that she strong arms you into posting about her.

The quizzing thing is not often anymore since I essentially just started ignoring it.
The worst side effect of this I think for us is that she develops this dogmatic way of thinking that then creates unrealistic standards.

I kind of agree, just don't see this going away anytime soon.

In the meantime, there's still a lot of women who aren't like this that you could pursue unless the surburban chicks who make Target and Starbucks runs everyday is your type.

It’s not unique to Instagram. The proliferation of short form social media is one of the most damaging things to be normalized in modern history.

It seems these days my wife (no pics, soft OT 6.5) gets essentially every thought or opinion she has from instagram. Parenting tips, health and wellness, food recipes, career advice, you name it. I get links all the time from her to these posts with 15 slides each, which sometimes I get quizzed on at the end of the day to see if I read them (I rarely do.)

If she hasn’t seen something on her algorithm it’s almost like it can’t be true or doesn’t exist until instagram verifies it for her. Many of her friends do the same shite too. I’m not sure they could function on a daily basis without their insta-cope.


Not too different than women reading stacks of magazines back in the day: Redbook, People, Cosmopolitan, Better Homes and Gardens, Good Housekeeping, Woman's Day, etc.

Yikes.

Y'all know it's okay to tell your wife no or that you won't play her bullshite. It's okay if she calls you an a-hole. Trust me, I hear it all the time.

Mom instagram is a scourge. The particularly nefarious ones are the ones which basically broadcast their kids’ childhoods as content for public consumption, all so they can get sponsored by shitty household products.

Well, they also get on their no human is illegal soap box.



Never hear, but illegals aren't vaccinated from them.

Measles enters the United States primarily through international travel. Unvaccinated Americans or international visitors contract the highly contagious virus in countries where measles is still common, and then unwittingly carry the airborne disease back with them across U.S. borders.


International travelers include migrants, illegal aliens.
