Slacktivism: the attempt to do good without getting up
(e.g. internet petitions, bumper stickers, political T-shirts, Facebook groups, one-day “boycotts,” blog posts...)
ust so you know, you can stop by and comment any time.
But, why, to comment...that's just...another form of... Slacktivism!
And Ginx, I really can't believe you include blog posts in your definition. That would mean that my endless hours in front of the computer are just......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I didn't even know that the word existed.lol I’ve enjoyed looking over your blog. I came across it through another blog I follow, and I’m glad I did. I am now a follower of yours as well. Feel free to look over my blog and perhaps become one as well.
Tristan: you are taking the comment moderation stuff WAY too seriously :P
SE: Yes... it sucks to admit what we do is borderline pointless, but that really as important as whether or not we enjoy doing it? Wouldn't we do it anyway, even if we knew we made zero difference? I gave up the illusion that I influenced anyone else's opinion a long time ago, and I am infinitely happier for it. Masturbating is also "pointless," but I don't regret it.
covnitkepr1: I am flattered, and I'm sure you'll be wishing I would stop commenting on your blog in a few days.

Just so you know, my moderation has been turned off for a long while now.
ReplyDeleteI only turn it on when SPAM gets heavy and then I turn it off again when things cool down.
Just so you know, you can stop by and comment any time. Peace!

Ginx-
ReplyDeleteMy motto has always been "Content before comments."
The only reason I comment is because I enjoy other peoples input and so my hope is that they'll comment back.
But at the end of the day, regardless of whether they do or not or if I lock them out of my site for harassment, it doesn't really matter.
I let the content speak for itself.
;)
they thought BOOBIES had no effect... WRONG!
