Yes well they gave everyone with a phone a camera...

Now I understand how much time and effort go into those crazy-ass profile pictures on ThaiFriendly!!!????????????‍♂️

 

As the great George Carlin said: maybe it’s not the politicians who suck, but the people... THE PUBLIC SUCKS - as we’re all way too busy making perfect selfies, buying things we don’t need with money we don’t have and stuffing our faces with unnecessary calories at the mall. If you have selfish ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish ignorant politicians. Garbage in > garbage out, and maybe Thailand like many other countries doesn’t deserve any better.

I don't see a problem here, it's their freedom, and actual causing little harm to anyone.  I share your amusement. 

 

But imagine the boys doing stupid daredevil tricks, they got to get their kicks somewhere.  And the boys taking video of there Daredevil exploits, all's great till someone breaks a neck...  Granted it's not as safe as playing Video Games...  Actual I would rather the boys be involve with Scouts, Organized Sports, or other more beneficial Clubs, but the 50's are long gone...  I can remember the 60's generation who could be encapsulate as "Turn on, Tune In, Drop Out," and I am not sure it ever stopped...  

 

Yes, you are right it's very superficial, but is it strange that females often take pictures of themselves especially when they are at what arguably could be there best times in their lives.  I bet many middle age and older women would like to have pictures of themselves at that very same age.

And sadly enough there are probably around 50 million other morons on this planet doing the same thing.. It's really pathetic, often laughable and, as you mentioned, an addiction that for many has become a uncurable disease. Where do we go from here, world...? ???? 

adda couple of billion to the 50 mil mate ????

I'm glad I never did anything daft when I was young

Welcome to the Grumpy Old Man club. You're getting an early start. Over the coming years you can look forward to more and more things not being like they used to be.

The Dull Men's Club web site is fascinating, if bright colours are not your thing

It seems to be more abundant among Asian girls. Why?

Also the liking for fluffy animal toys.

Why? I don't know. If I really wanted to know, I'd google for an academic study or something.

Of course it has something to do with seeing how others like how you look and what you do and so on - especially peers, other young girls.  So, nothing new, just that phone cameras have made it easy to do it with photos, so then it became a thing.

You spent 2 hours watching them?

Sure they were nice but they had the MJ skin color syndrome and I'm not a big fan of it. My wife (10 years of marriage) never gave a flying <deleted> and looks much better. wanna see a non selfie pic ????

 

Anyway - back to the topic - I feel sad for those girls cause even though they are not harming anyone they are more most probably harming themselves. There is no way in hell that that this occupation can be healthy for yourself.

 

And I also feel a bit sad for Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Kevin Systrom (Instagram), Jack Dorsey (twitter) because what in Buddhas name are they gonna do with that? Please tell me..
