I know Huffington Post is an incredibly Liberal news post but I don't watch much Buzzfeed. What's so bad about it?

I'm getting so sick of people sharing Buzzfeed, and Huffpost articles on fb.
Buzzfeed is pretty the poster child for social justice smugness. They come out with lists like: "20 things white people ruined in 2015", etc.I know Huffington Post is an incredibly Liberal news post but I don't watch much Buzzfeed. What's so bad about it?

Ugh, anxious dread and dinner aren't going well on my stomach at the moment.
Because they're racist. They see dark skin as a perpetual disability, and white skin as a perpetual sin that must be always apologized for. Because they're racist.Oh, so it's one of *those* kind of media people.
Why do people expect me to be ashamed of being white?

I'm now officially on American soil.
First impressions? You all drive like idiots and the humidity is high. VERY high.
I find it funny that the same people who try to end racism are the ones keeping it alive.
Try Australia. I watched a whole bunch of PSA's from there and 98% were related to car accidents. That must really say something.
As for the humidity, I live in a very dry place and going to Florida for the first time was unpleasant. The air was so thick that we could hardly breathe.
Australia is a must for me. The people over there have life all figured out
I love Aussies too, so easygoing people!
I've thought about moving to some other country some time in the future, and Australia is pretty much on the top of my list. The only thing they'd have to do to get me in the plane right now would be to remove their huge spiders from the landscape....
Nah, I love arachnids. It's partly why I have a scorpion tattoo on my right arm. They're solitary and misunderstood, like me.
Maybe I should start some "Learn to see big spiders as your friends" - therapy and I'd be free to move.
Have you been to Australia? If you have, how it was like?
Joking aside, education is the best way to conquer an irrational fear. I used to be so overcome with anxiety that I wouldn't leave my house, and now I'm travelling the world and meeting new people all the time. Spiders are cool, start with that.
No, never been. But it's up there in my top 5 places to visit. I had family who lived out there for a few years in the early 90's, but they missed us too much to stay there for long.
Japan, China, the Caribbean, Australia, Germany (for Octoberfest) - in that order.
I don't have an irrational spider-phobia, I was more or less kidding. But the truth is that I'm used to spiders which are at max. size of a finger nail. This far north all bugs and reptiles are very small.
My fave places to visit would be some place in Asia, North America (USA/Canada - zone) and Australia. But to stay longer, in Asia I would need to learn some local language so I'm basically limited to places where I could use English. (Newsflash: Finnish is pretty useless language in travelling...)
I'm pretty much done doing tourist visits to other countries, if I go abroad, I would like to stay for at least couple of months, possibly permanently, work there etc.
I see this happening in the world so much. It's heartbreaking.I knew pain, I enjoyed suffering,
I welcomed the abuse,
and I called it love.
I knew to be selfish, I mastered deception,
I coveted the dirt and drowned in filth,
and I called it love.
I gave up my dreams, worshipped desire,
my body was no longer mine,
and I called it love.
I always knew what love was,
Until I learned what love was not.
Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.
Oh for sure. I'm looking to learn Japanese this year, so that I can go out there and converse properly with the locals. I found when I went to Amsterdam in May, I was quite restricted to what I could say. (Hey, that rhymed! I'm getting good at this.)
Even though English is the language of commerce, it's still respectful to the locals to speak their language. Us Brits have the tendency to be a bit lazy like that.
If I was going to live and work somewhere, it would be NZ. Pretty much the only thing I know is dairy farming.

I'm afraid one of my friends is on the verge of going down that path. Chasing what the world calls "love', but not realizing that the world isn't capable of love.Yes. It is a sad way to live. Desperately chasing the next rush of pleasure, just to barely survive every day.
It can feel like trying to empty a bathtub with a teaspoon....lol...... while the water is running.
