I skipped Facebook entirely.
But I luv me sum Google. So I'm trying Google+ on for size.
Anyone else?
What do you think?
I'm having a good time divvying everyone I know into different groups and giving them all names. I can't wait for my "Friends 2" circle of people to find out they didn't make the cut for "Friends."
I think I'll go make a :CF circle now.

I also skipped Facebook. Not sure if I'll give Google+ a shot, but I'm a little curious about it.
I'm on an Android phone and I use gmail and their calendar for everything. And Picasa. It feels like part of the suite. The ease of setting groups of people is cool.
I'm just not sure I care to maintain the page and if I actually want to read everything other people "share" with me. Might be good to just stay out altogether, I don't know.
someone explain to me what google + is..
Google's most recent attempt at making a social networking site. They've tried and failed like 4 times already.
It's currently being tested.
The moment I go on facebook is the moment everyone stops using it.
Realisticaly, the only social media outlet I subscribe to is CF.
How can Facebook and google compete with CF. Really.

I've been using Google Music on my laptop and phone. More convenient than swapping my memory card around all the time.
Haven't seen any selling points for Google+ that make me wanna test it out yet. Maybe the grouping of friends, but you can do that on Facebook anyway...
Not feeling Google+ much either. I don't get the appeal whatsoever.

Doesn't bring enough new to the table to take over for Facebook in any significant way.
Its basically trying to combine facebook and twitter with skype/stickam. a little too in depth for my liking. i want my social networking sites to be easy and quick
I like the auto sync option for pictures and video from my phone to picsssa.

I've heard a lot of people touting Google+, but I've also heard some negative things, especially with regard to their terms of service. Like Facebook, they have a CYA clause that allows them to do whatever they want with the stuff you post. It's not such a big deal for the casual user, but when it comes to things like photographers trying to manage the intellectual property rights to their work, it can be something of a nightmare.
For now, I can manage Facebook okay. I really don't need to have yet another "service" giving me additional headaches.

Trojan Spreading Through Facebook Replaces Antivirus Programs: Security researchers warn about a trojan spreading through Facebook and having an unusually sophisticated payload which involves replacing the legit antivirus programs used by its victims. The malware hijacks the Facebook sessions of its victims and sends messages to their friends via the website's chat function. Once installed on the computer, the Trojan blocks notifications from the firewall, Windows update or the legit antivirus and displays a pop-up asking the user to reboot the system. The Trojan uses the bcdedit.exe utility to force the computer into Safe Mode upon reboot, where the un-installation of the legit antivirus starts. Unlike most malware, this malware configures itself to run in Safe Mode so it is always in control of the machine. The computer is rebooted again and a fake antivirus mimicking the real one is executed. This is meant to trick users into believing that they are still protected, while the Trojan freely downloads and installs more malware in the background.
when you follow someone on twitter do you get a notification when they post a new message...something similar to how you get an email from CF when someone makes a new post on a thread?
or do you have to physically navigate to their twitter page and see if theres anything new
You go to Twitter and see all the message from people you follow in chronological order. You can set up lists to clump together messages from groups of people if you want.

yes, it all shows up on your homepage in the order the people you follow tweet it

Seeing this thread made me chuckle.... I posted that I liked the Google + app on my phone, because of the automatic photo upload feature. Still do, mostly.
That said, I took some awesome compromising pics of the wife last week and deleted them later because that's how I roll. At least I thought I did, until I went to show a buddy of mine something the next day, and the pictures were splashed across my Google page. Yikes.
thats my biggest problem with facebook is that nothing is ever really deleted. when you use the facebook messaging and then say delete the message... the next time you send the same person a message... the whole exchange pops right back up. or you have to delete things on the mobile app... and then on the website itself.. it's annoying.
google and facebook are all about collecting as much info about you as possible.

Except my wiener is really a shotgun, and I blow her head off. Too bad, hottie!

I had a dream where I wanted to start a facebook account....but the mafia was after me and I thought, "If I start a facebook page, they'll go after my friends and stuff, so better to remain anonymous". I also woke up right before I was about to have sex with the asian girl that was helping me with the giant robots underwater.
I doubt your sincerity.
I sense jealousy. Not because of said asian girl, but because of underwater robots.
You know what makes the least sense in that dream? The idea that you were about to have sex with a girl.
I think that explains why I wake up at that moment. When the dream starts to become unrealistic, my brains shuts down the sleeps and wakes me up.

I'm not a whiner about the new Facebook change-- but I'm not a fan of that box up there. I have too many "work" acquaintances who I don't need seeing when I post something obnoxious on an actual friend's status.
This was actually a story on the 11pm news in LA last night. It was the main teaser they used during commercial breaks during the prime time shows. Really? That's news? Meanwhile, Troy Davis and Lawrence Brewer got about 8 seconds of combined covereage. Nice.

The new profile page looks pretty cool, and there's a timeline bar on the right so you don't have to keep clicking "Older Posts" to find something from a while ago. They're also going to add "Listen" and "Watch" features to let you know when somebody's listening to music or watching Netflix or Hulu or whatever, and may allow you to jump in on it (pending privacy law revision)...
The ugly side of Facebook: Someone you barely know posts photo after photo of and dedication after dedication to their dead child.

the goal is to make everyone else just as miserable as the grieving person is, of course

Lol @ pg being Facebook friends with Havas.
i certainly am....we even periodically speak on aim as well
so there
the question now is how butt hurt is matty that hes not friends with easy
Let's talk about how butthurt I am that we aren't friends.
i think ive sent two friend requests out in my time on facebook and probably have the lowest number of friends in the world on an active account so dont feel bad buddy
I think it is of critical importance that we discuss the CF friendships reflected and not reflected on Facebook in great detail.
No, I don't.
i'm actually very selective and probably decline way more than i accept so if you've made my friends list there is nothing left in life to strive for.
i rarely post on FB anymore, but the other day i got a recommended friend popup. Its a family friend who died last May. I think they need to delete that thing.
I switched over from myspace to fb pretty early, just to get away from the bullshtein that myspace turned into. Facebook has turned into the same thing. Unless its funny, i dont care about your kids fever.
the shtein that absolutely infuritates me is when i see someone thank someone for dinner the other night or ask them what time do they wanna meet at the bar tonight....cant you farging email or call the person for this
at least the peoplee that post "on my way to dinner tonight" dont hide the fact that they are an attention whore...its awful but theres some sort of respect there because they are just so in your face about it...but the others are not really thanking their friend for a good time they are masking the fact that they want everyone to know what they did under the guise of a thank you to someone they could have told directly
The attention whoring gets old. I just started deleting people because i got tired of seeing their shtein take up the entire thread. Usually my posts revolve around sports, my dog, or being hammer drunk.
Yeah, thanking someone for dinner on facebook is almost as bad as thanking them in person, in earshot of other people around you to hear!

why dont you just block them...unless you dont really give a shtein about them to begin with?
i have every single one of my friends
even my dearest ones
even my girl
completely blocked
so nothing hits my page in anyway
except private messages
and i only keep people as friends who i communicate with or see on a regular basis
also id sooner cut my gib off than post anything on my page...cept pictures....and i never publish those
hosting pictures and getting in touch with lost friends or family is the only thing i really get using facebook for
the best thing facebook ever did was incorporate your friends list with aim so it just automatically melds the two together as thats where i do all my online commucation outside of email
The weird part of facebook is that I have friends, who never initiate a call to me, suddenly have communication with each other and know what the farg is up. Just the other day, a buddy who is always too busy to call, so it's me that has to pick up the phone (its been like this forever), is farging chatting it up with everyone else who is too phone-phobic. I'm the odd man out?
Jesus what is wrong with people. People really don't like the nuisance of interacting with people live. farg. I thought texting was bad.
Facebook changed their settings a while back, you couldn't block someone's posts. Felt like a fleshpop, but I was hammered and said farg it.
Thats pretty much it for me too. I'll throw up some pics of the dog for family, or shtein that we're doing. It's an easier way to send pictures rather than email.

this pretty much sums it up...and its makes me sad...now its like what the best possible way to tell the most people a little bit instead of telling a few people a lot
facebook is like that person on the train who in appearance is talking to the person next to them but in reality wants everyopne on their car to hear about them so they yell when they talk
Agreed.
Also, it gives that little farg, the anti-social, or the socially inept, more power, and enough of an outlet to think they themselves the friendliest farg on earth and their lives are great. You know this when any time you talk to them, they reference something on facebook.
farg them.
Sound like a bunch of old men talking about children and their new fangled phones. Write a damn letter!
I'm not going to call or email someone for a 3 or 4 sentence quick conversation. Waste of time, and yes my generation finds it weird to do so. I'm not going to call my ex's friend from HS that I still talk to about music since we have similar tastes, to talk to her about music. It's farging weird. I'd much rather send her a youtube link on facebook, and then talk about what we like/dislike about the song. Then I'll see her out at the bars and we'll have a longer conversation about life in general. If other people don't want to see it on facebook, they are welcome to not read or hit the little "x" at the top of the posts that hides them from their view.
"Hello?"
"Hey it's me. You know that picture you posted where your mom is holding the baby?"
"Yeah."
"I like it."
"OK...and...?"
"That's all. Talk to you later. Bye!"
yeah, that's so much better
Yes, I agree that it does fill a niche of communication that real life can make difficult sometimes. I guess my problem is when someone's primary method of communication becomes facebook. Worse when they have a phone and they're on facebook.
I'm not gonna call my buddies for a 2 minute convo on what they're doing this weekend either. Sure, I'll call them the night of to see where they'er going/should I bring beer/etc....but now, on a Thursday, I'll write on my friends wall and ask him what he's getting into Monday night for the game.
I get bombarded with maudlin shtein all the time too but there's a rare nugget (see abortion clinic costume photo) that someone posts that make the rest tolerable.
It's kinda like here, actually. The Victoria Secret chick thing was awesome and made the rest of it much less vomit-inducing.
PS... Shut up. It's just the Internet, Romes.
sending someone a photo is fine

who says hello on email?
if you have a picture email it to a friend...even sending a picture on facebook is ok altho most of the time its to draw attention to yourself not because you want to really show someone...but whatever it you need 400 of your "friends" to see it more power to you
the much larger problem is when people post on their facebook page for all to see "heading up to walmart to buy a frame for this awesome picture of little jenny i have"
so, 10s of 1,000s of posts on a message board are ok. but posting on facebook and sending a text is not? oooo...kay

You people are the reason I don't have facebook.
You all complete me.
Main reason I got on FB was to better communicate with my son in Japan. He's posted a lot of pics. Japanease architecture is the shtein. I see him on FB, shoot him a im, and then we skype. I send him pics of home also. Maybe I should post this in the dumb questions thread, but howcome Havas don't have no Eagles shtein on his FB page??
RECENT ACTIVITY
Michael changed his profile picture.
There are no more posts to show.
Hahahaha!
The new format of facebook sucks.
The only real value of facebook is to see if that girl you talked to last night really is good looking or you were just loaded.
My pet peeve on Facebook is the wall posts that are better shared privately.
i.e.
Every single "Happy Birthday" wall post means two things:
1. Happy Birthday
2. Look how nice of a friend I am for wishing you happy birthday
i forgot about those....my god are they awful
dont farging wish someone happy birthday on facebook if you wouldnt in real life...and even if you would do it on the phone or in person where it really means something
tho i will say most of the blame goes to the person who publishes their birthday....theres only one reason to do that and its to get as many possible facebook birthdays as they can

Yeah....not really sure why I typed Dio instead of DH. Then again, I have been fantasizing about Dio a little more than usual lately. Either that or I saw Dio's post right above mine and had his name stuck on the brain.
Facebook keeps wanting Judas Diomedes to be my friend, but I have a hard time believing that Dio actually uses the thing.
As it turns out, Facebook is useful for doing utterly meaningless things like communicating with the other losers who play the same nerdy game as you.

Thanks to facebook, I'm going to get half of the millions hbionic wins in the lottery tonight.
You know that shtein's going to hit, right?
Be interesting if they do; they're the numbers from Lost.
Thought this was pretty funny...this kid was my IST partner at PSU Abington:
QuoteHi this is Linda, (Michael's mom) If you want to be his friend...do not pick him up, take him to a bar, or believe that he drinks like a normal 22 year old. Anyone that truly knows him knows he has a drinking problem. He has been missing for 2 days now & out of control. Please help us by not supporting his habit. I don't want to find him dead from alcohol poisoning & I'm afraid that's where he is headed. He has a family that loves him & only wants the best for him, I wish someone could make him realize he has a problem. Thanks for listening. I'm a distraught & truly concerned mother that wants her son to get help.
You should have responded, "I'll drink to that!"
I would have.
He's a good kid and a smart one at that. I'm semi-tempted to help him but would feel like a hypocrite considering I still drink like I'm 22. He maybe weighs 160 pounds so it's not like he can drink that much. The few posts before that one were one at 3 AM saying he was stuck down at Temple and needed a ride to Bensalem followed by a picture of him drunk with a bandana on his head, 40 in one hand, and a pistol in his other one saying Happy MLK day. Like I said, good kid.
Nothing anyone can do to help a true drunk. I sympathize with his mother's plea and I think it was a good idea for her to just straight up tell his friends: this one is killing himself with drink so please don't help him do it.
Do any of you kinds sirs or madams use Meetup.com? Seems like a good way to organize but not sure how effective.
i found an underground poker club through that site like 5-6 years ago.
yeah i used to use it for illegal poker rooms too. other than that, no.
I wish I could get free one night a week. I'd be happy to lose money in exchange for that. You get to drink too, right?
Saddest post ever.

This is like 8 minutes long, but it's worth it at the end. Dad teaches his daughter a lesson about trashing her parents on facebook.
http://www.litefm.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=421220&article=9738000&fb_comment_id=fbc_10150571400139633_21191545_10150573459929633#f3c2da2044
Video's been all over the place.
If what the dad said was the correct version of the story (as in, she only has to make her own bed and sweep a couple floors), then I'm glad he made the video. The only thing I disagree with is the very obvious threatening gesture of shooting her laptop repeatedly at the end. Dude made his point, no need to throw in the "oh by the way, remember i have this gun" shtein.
Pops sounds and looks like a MA hypocritical dickhead. How can he be upset about her use of vulgar language when he uses the same language in his response? Why should she respect him when he apparently has very little for her? Seems the dad is about as mature as his daughter; difference is she's 15.
T-Hawk, that's about the most grown up thing you've ever said. You're momma's gonna be proud of you when I tell her tonight. She's a little hard of hearing so I have to pull her hair extra hard. Maybe slap her a couple of times...but I'm sure one of those tears will be for you. She just better not make a mess again.

All parents are hypocritical. I swear all the time (granted, not in front of my kids) but I get on my daughter every time she or one of her friends swears on her facebook page. When she's capable of supporting herself, she can swear all she wants. Until then, my way or the highway.
Shooting the laptop instead of selling it or giving it away is some macho bullshtein.
Something like this will happen to Matty one day and hopefully it happens on facebook. (http://www.photoblip.com/pictures/24004/girl-gets-tattoo-of-guys-face-after-only-1-week-of-dating.html)

More than a third of divorce filings last year contained the word Facebook, according to a U.K. survey by Divorce Online, a legal services firm. And over 80% of U.S. divorce attorneys say they've seen a rise in the number of cases using social networking, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. "I see Facebook issues breaking up marriages all the time," says Gary Traystman, a divorce attorney in New London, Conn.
That's a bit of a red herring. Facebook issues don't break up marriages. Pre-existing issues make it onto Facebook, just like before that it was cell phone logs, etc. Facebook itself doesn't break people up, but it's a public forum where the light can shine on existing issues, and it's a historical reference that can be used in court. It's a form of documenting issues.
who knows exactly what the % is but facebook absolutely does break up marriages...the number of splits due to being able to find ex Hoyda so easily has to be significant on its own
Like clockwork.

nowhere has anyone said the first divorce happened with the advent of facebook...just that its has made it much easier and its also more popular than all those others things you mentioned put together
When Jimmy Buffett writes a song about cheating on your significant other using facebook, I'll believe you.
Cheaters gonna cheat. FB might make it a little easier to do it but I don't beleive for an instant that some guy who is scouring FB looking for some tail wouldn't be looking to cheat if he didn't have the internet.
Do people really look to cheat or does it just happen?
Guy 1: "Hey, what you doing tonight?"
Guy 2: "Nothing much...I had a long week, I was in the mood for some cheating. Wanna come with?"
Guy 1: "Naw...I'm cool, I'm just going to make love to my boyfriend. Wanna come with?"
Alternate ending:
Guy 2: "No thanks, I hate gays"
Guy 1: "Just kidding, I'm not gay. I was going to have sex with your wife while you were away cheating"
I admire the fact that you continuously manage to out-retard yourself.

A guy who worked for me from 2002-04 died earlier this year. His wife was kind enough to update his account in the days following his death with some details about how it happened and also with funeral arrangements. He wasn't married when I worked with him and haven't seen him since, so I never met his wife and naturally, I'm not friends with her on FB, so the updates to his account were nice of her to do.
But since then, I'll occasionally see something from his account on my news feed. No status updates, but she'll post new (old) pictures of him or I'll see Barry likes Batman or Pittsburgh Steelers or whatever else he was into. This happened today (He "liked" a local BBQ joint and ironically, he died of a heart attack) and I clicked on his profile and saw that his wife was still leaving him little I Love You notes and other people were still commenting about how much they miss him. It's kind of weird.
So is it cool to block or unfriend a dead guy?
Go ahead and unfriend. If she asks you why, say he won't return your calls.
lol
I have a similar issue with a late brother-in-law's FB profile. His wife, bless her heart, keeps posting little "miss you" messages. Kinda creepy.

I didn't know you used Titter.
I belong to some Marine group on Facebook. I got an invite from a friend to join about a year ago, so I did, although I'm not sure why I stayed in the group because it's mostly a bunch of awful old vets who are so far to the right that they'd probably cut off their left hand simply because it's on the left. Anyway, I check the place out every now and then mostly just to rile some feathers. I checked in today and noticed that a guy posted a YouTube link to a video of random Vietnam footage with CCR's Fortunate Son as the accompanying soundtrack. It also had a dozen or so "likes" and about 7 or 8 comments from guys saying how great the song was and how it and how proud they are to be Americans, etc, etc. And 1 guy even said that he loved the song "back in 'Nam" and that it's been his favorite song for the last 40 years.
So I left a comment asking if any of them ever bothered to actually listen to the lyrics or if they realized that the song is actually a big FU to the government, the war and to the rich. About 5 minutes later the entire thread was deleted. lol
From facebook:
QuoteCongress will be voting on passing a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks. Please flood congress with your calls and emails telling them to VOTE "YES" before they vote tomorrow! CLICK HERE TO CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE ----> http://ht.ly/cC0B6
Here is what I sent to my congressman.
Please Read before voting on H.R. 3803 tomorrow!
...
Mr. Aaron Schock,
If I was alive during Nazi Germany, I would like to think that I would have considered the Jews equal human beings. I hope I would have stood up to the Nazis to defend the lives of the Jews. I hope that I would have stood at the barbed-wire doors of concentration camps with signs protesting the murder of innocent persons.
If I was alive here in America during the Pre-Civil Rights Movement era, I would like to think that I would have also considered African-Americans to be equal human beings with equal rights. I hope that I would have stood at the side of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man of great Christian Virtue, and helped him make a difference sooner.
If I you were alive during the largest Genocide in human history, what would you do? Would you be on the side of innocent children that are being aborted secretly and shamefully everyday? Or would you be a Noble Leader who took charge and made their vote count. Will you help or hinder the morality of this once Great Country. Will you please help lead us?
Please Vote "Yes" on H.R. 3803 (the DC bill prohibiting abortions after 20 wks)
1. Genocide icehole (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/genocide)
B. I'm not a historian, but I'm pretty confident a person protesting the concentration camps would have been shot immediately.
I actually would have agreed with banning abortions after 20 weeks since 5 months seems like plenty enough time to decide if the pregnancy should be terminated; however, after reading this stupid argument, I felt obliged to contact the congressman to ask he vote no on h.r. 3803.

for how long has youtube had a commerical before every video
last i remember i might hit an ad before two out of every ten youtubes...now it seems like its 9/10
They don't. Regular uploaders don't have ads on their videos. The big networks like NBC or CBS that post content have it prior to their videos and so do a lot of musicians and such. It's been that way for quite some time. But if you're wanting to watch home video of some kid getting hit in the nuts with a soccer ball or something, then you're probably not getting a commercial.
Some companies do reach out to the most popular YouTube users though and pay them to advertise on their videos, but that's a pretty small segment of YouTube users.

that makes sense because im listening to songs not random amerikkkas funniest home videos type shtein...but still its not like ive never listened to music on youtube before and there def wasnt near this many ads in the past
I'm guessing that you're pulling up music from the artists' YouTube pages? If so, that's why you're getting the ads.
I know you've got to have a pretty deep music collection. Why are you listening to music on YouTube instead of just using whatever media player you have on your computer?

when you send a tweet to someone does it automatically post on their page for all to see...or do they only see it
No idea. I know I signed up for twitter like a year ago but I've never logged in since then. Don't think I sent out a single tweet.
i have a twitter pretty much only to follow where the downtown food trucks are going to be, but i know how it works.
depends what you mean by send a tweet. if you message them then yes only they can see it. but if you just send a tweet with @theirname then yes anyone who follows you will see it. also, they will be notified if their name has been mentioned.
how do you message someone....is that option on each persons page somewhere...or do you write the message in the tweet box but take out the @theirname

LOL.
you can only direct message someone if they follow you. but if they do, there is a little icon up on top of their page which has a drop down menu, options are tweet @xxx, direct message @xxx, etc.
if you go to someone famous' page tho you dont see many tweets if any at all of regular people hitting them up
thats why i was thinking if you tweet someone it doesnt automatically go to their page where everyone can see it....otherwise celebrities pages would be out of control....you sure the person doesnt have to retweet a received message to have it show on their page??

yes thats correct, nothing shows up on your page unless it's your own tweet or something you've retweeted. but they will get a notification of their @name being mentioned in a tweet.
also if you're doing what i think you're doing get one for me and i'll stick around for a day or two.

Lame story.
I belong to an alumni group for my military academy on facebook. Yesterday some dude who graduated in the 80s said that he has 2 yearbooks to give away to anyone who wants them because he is moving and can't take much with him. I jokingly said "Where the hell are you moving to that you can't make room for 2 year books? Jail?"
His response - "Yes." Found out the dude's going away for quite a few years on some kind of fraud conviction. Not sure of the details but I guess he's getting fitted for his orange jumpsuit pretty soon. Nice.
lol thats funny
Your foot's already in your mouth, you might as well shove it in deep and demand proof of these alleged yearbooks.

I never "unfriended" the dude but I got a FB reminder that today is his birthday. Checked his page and saw dozens and dozens of birthday wishes. Ok, so aside from the fact that it's really farging weird to say Happy Birthday to a dead dude, one of the comments left on his page was:
QuoteHappy Birthday! We miss you so much but I bet your having the BEST birthday ever with Jesus. God Bless You!
Reading that actually made my brain melt a little.
pretty sure jesus isnt that low down to go to your lame friends super lame birthday party
Maybe she meant Jesus in the Spanish way. Like maybe he had a landscaper who died in a terrible mowing accident, and now they can chill together. Have to cover all the angles.

A really good friend of mine has a kid who is like 11 years old and is already extremely tech savvy. So she let him have a FB account that he gets on like maybe once or twice a week. This is what he has to say today:
QuoteGlasses come in tomorrow. Getting them on friday. Mom, go get me a wendys chicken sandwich with no mayo.
I'm seriously laughing my ass off at this.
is 11 really young to be "tech savvy".....seems like six year olds these days have iphones...i would think by age 10 youd at least know more than i do
No, I mean the kid knows how to fix xbox's and build iphones and shtein. He's a little savant or something because he's never been taught anything, just figures the stuff out on his own. Really smart kid.
Anyway, I found humor in it because the kid never asks for anything and then just randomly demands his mom to go to Wendy's via facebook.

can someone give a quick explanation of what exactly reddit is?
Basically a giant internet message board filled with nerds of all ilks. There's a "subreddit" (specific message board) for nearly everything you can think of, and many different subreddits dedicated to the same subject sometimes, just with a different name. It can be a good place to find news or info, but also can do some zesty things (like accuse the wrong people of being the Boston bombers last year)

I just spent 30 minutes watching #vapetrick vines and videos on Instagram. I was going to mock those jackasses for making smoking into a spectator sport, but then I realized that I just spent 30 minutes watching it, so uh, yeah.
not really social media but im gonna ask here anyway
if you send out an email to 30 people and blind copy another 5 people and one of the 30 do a reply all do the bcc 5 see it?
I believe so.
you believe wrong. the answer is no.
Sarge is teh suck at believing.

By the way, that riddle, if added to job screenings, would eliminate 99% of candidates I believe.
What's email?

No, but if one of the 5 BCCs replies to all (which should qualify for immediate castration), the 30 in the "To" field get it
My boss is notorious for not paying attention to minute details like if he's a BCC so I never write anything inflammatory or sensitive if I know there's anyone in the thread who could get it bc of him not paying attention.
Jesus Christ you people are simps. How many years have you been using email? Blind copy is not a good idea unless everyone is blind copied. What are you, a farging spy? Or a rat? Be straight with motherfargers. Playing games like putting some bosses on bcc is a bad idea. And Don't ever say shtein in a work email. If you have a bomb to drop, do it in person. What kind of moron makes a document of stirring up shtein?
some people dont want their email address out there for everyone to see....others dont want a hundred unfunny possibly nsfw reply alls
my brother for example doesnt like to be included in mass emails....i also have some people i know who dont or cant check their personal email at work
i used to never include them on mass emails or id have to email them seperately....now i dont
in summation....stick to ditch diggin
I don't understand Dio's rant.
Seriously though, what's email?
Quote from: ice grillin you on April 25, 2014, 07:18:10 AMsome people dont want their email address out there for everyone to see....others dont want a hundred unfunny possibly nsfw reply alls
Why would anyone want their email address disseminated more than absolutely necessary? Who does want a hundred funny or not reply alls? Put everyone in blind copy...what's so farging hard to understand about this?
Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on April 25, 2014, 08:13:35 AMI don't understand Dio's rant.
There is only one legit use for the blind copy.
legit: mass email. send message to yourself, blind copy everyone else. everyone gets the message, everyone knows who sent it. no one's email adress is reveal to anyone else. no one has to look at a long list of email adresses in the body of the messgae. etc. if you send mass emails and list everyone in the "to" or "cc" field, you are an icehole and should expire posthaste
not legit: all over uses. principally, being sneaky...send a note to some people but blind copy others, so that the people whose receipt is visible don't know that someone else got the message too, while the blind copied people know the full distribution. dick move, counter productive, don't do it.
I use it when a customer e-mails bitching about problems...I reply to the customer and BCC my boss. Other than that? No.
i use it as a fleshpop move and to be sneaky
Everything you do is to be a fleshpop. Antagonism is your thing.

This couldnt be a more accurate assessment of FB
Looks like somebody needs to make the jump to manjam.com.
https://twitter.com/NeedADebitCard
I don't understand that.
I understand it as they find dumbfargs who post pics of their credit cards online and then post them for all to see
People have too much idle time.
in some cases it's the shteinheads posting them directly, and they'll later attempt to claim they were victims of fraud.
My nana is 84 yrs old and got on Facebook a few months ago. She just shared a pic from Tommy Chong with the "lucky bud." Not sure if she's just easily confused by Internet stuff or if I should ask her to spark up next time I see her.
Who the farg is tommy chung ?

Picked up on an interesting Instagram feed today. Dude works on a Russian trawler, and he takes pictures of the strange shtein that gets pulled up from the depths.

gross.
luckily facebook is dying off with old heads like us anyway. young people don't do that shtein anymore.
i always very uncomfortable with facebook and how they always looked the other way when it came to enforcing hate speech and fake news but i gave them the benefit of the doubt since how the hell can you possibly keep up with it...but this latest shtein basically is zuckerberg saying we dont give a farg what goes on we dont give a farg about anything except getting more members
they werent unable to police the hate
they werent even looking the other way
they actually welcome it
well there are 63 million idiots who believe something in their facebook feed but not something on nbc.
guess the power has gone to his head.
FB is still incredibly popular with the 40+ age group...especially among the MA crowd. It's what most people in that age demographic are familiar with and what all of their friends use and they aren't going to change to the tweets or snapchat because change isn't something that crowd is particularly fond of. My farging grandmother got on FB like a year ago for farg sake. She's 84. But that's what all her family in Tennessee uses because they're all old and like to share Jesus memes so they can go to heaven.
And young people are still using the hell out of it too. Both my daughters are on it regularly.
Pretty much. I cringe when I hear Ma and Pa redneck around here talking about Facebook and what they saw/read on there.
It's died off for the younger crowd and it is nothing but a cesspool.
Yesterday there was a report (ended up being false - FAKE NEWZZZ) about a shooting in one of the hospitals here. I made the mistake of looking at the comments on the local news page and holy mother of God...it didn't even gradually devolve into the racist and hate talk. People went ham right off the bat.
These fools go from zero to hate in a second and it turns out to be false. So they talked all that shtein for no reason. Hateful fargs.
5% of america uses twitter on a daily basis. and its not trending up. its going to wind up being a news compilation source/hub for white supremacists soon.
2/3rds of america has a facebook page...im not sure how many of them are active users but its something most people are going to have. the kids have moved to snapchat and other things im not aware of to talk to each other and send pictures of their dicks.
I think a lot of kids have facebook and use it on the regular, but snapchat is definitely the in vogue social media platform for most high school through college age kids. My kids have both and they use FB daily or every other day but snapchat is definitely their primary means of communicating with their friends. They probably only maintain their fb because of family.
Yeah I have a lot of former students who have graduated that use/check Facebook, but I know from their habits in school that they're on Instagram and Snapchat way more often. Facebook also becomes much more useful in college when you're trying to find campus events or friend that weirdo at the party who tried to bang you last week.
Everyone my age still primarily uses Facebook as their main social media.

yea snapchat deletes everything after like 24 hours or something, and it doesnt have a website -- just the app. so its perfect for keeping away adults and sending dick pictures. which is what its for. its for teenagers to send dick pics to each other.
you seem to have a ton of knowledge on that dic pic subject.
thats why they call me the cock master
:paranoid
I farging love snapchat and I'm 42. Girls send tit pics all the time and it's awesome. A globally popular app is what'sapp
WhatsApp is really more like an upgraded and more customizable replacement for your stock text messaging app more so than a comparable social media platform to twitter, fb, or snapchat.
Line is another popular one.
if a girls gonna snapchat you tits she will also text them to you. fact.
I deactivated my Facebook account today. I've been receiving some really creepy messages from people (nobody here) and I got a "friend" request from a co-worker who is a backstabbing slice of shtein pizza, so that was it from me.
I know I can adjust the settings but it's worse than high school in there, so farg it.
You all care.
welcome to the club....i got out earlier this year
you drama queens
its really easy to have it and use it infrequently/scroll past people you dont care about's baby pictures. you dont have to mix it up with neanderthals.
I wasn't on there much to begin with but have cut back to almost nil since the election
Open it up and see nothing but political bullshtein
You don't even have to scroll by them. Just unfollow them and you don't see anything they post unless you go direct to their page.
You can also adjust who have visibility over your individual posts when you post them. My farging 85 yr old grandmother is on FB for farg sake, so my default posting options are set to exclude her because...well...nana doesn't need to read all the things I say about her Jesus.
i dont have any friends who are not progressive and certainly wouldnt accept a friend on facebook who wasnt progressive....my reason for leaving was zuckerbergs pure joy of trump running for president....he admitted in an interview that the best thing that ever happened to facebook was trump...thats when i dipped
i also quit because my actual friends annoyed me more than any political stuff i ever saw which was minimal...kids vacation pics errands towawa....it was repug...i love you but no one cares what you did today

Sure, you want current or pics from when she was some sort of baker or something when she was a young woman in Germany. I assume she was a baker or some sorts. She doesn't talk about it much, just says she was was an oven operator for the Nazis. Hell of a cook, I can tell you that.

edited for you. when it comes to holocaust humor you gotta be quick. its not a funny subject so the humor is shock value, and the longer you hammer home a shock value joke the worse it is. so quick in, quick out. you had a good first sentence and didnt need the second.
in short, leave the comedy to us. you do the manual labor.
I like my holocaust jokes like I like a toss sweep to Blount...slow developing and going nowhere.
T-Pain on Tik Tok realizing he's ignoring mega stars on IG is endearing.
Keep ignoring them dude. It only make 'em want you harder.

Looks like Twitter is accepting Musk's proposal. Won't be long before the orange idiot is back.
https://twitter.com/RamonVillalobos/status/1518589899661660162
Things are pretty wild at Twitter. They've closed their offices until Monday. Musk's "extremely hardcore" ultimatum has proven the downside of the device: hundreds are leaving. Apparently, Twitter don't even know how many people have decided to leave because most of HR quit too. There are accounts that the service has literally zero engineers available to monitor or repair critical functions of the site, effectively rendering it a walking dead service that will coast until something goes wrong, and then just stop, with no one to mind the repair.
Space Karen

Someone mentioned that this fiasco is actually a well-engineered process to destroy one of the few online platforms that had some semblance of democracy remaining.
Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Thiel and Musk and the rest of the fascist cadre of billionaire nazi fargs did this deliberately and maliciously. $44B is chump change in the grand scheme of things when complete hegemonic domination is the aim, and it clearly is for those motherfargers.

his made his money from second hand apartheid profiteering and copying other peoples ideas...he spent 44 billion on a worthless product for the validation of incel right wing hungry hungry hippos
legitimately a stupid person
To be fair, he also spent that $44 billion to get some kid to stop telling people where his plane is.

who is somehow worshipped by 10% of the population
10% is strong...nobody uses twitter except nerds and incels and only a small % of that love him
ask any average citizen what social media they use and theyll say tiktok, ig, snap or even facebook before stupid ass twitter
Mr free speech banned Kanye from Twitter.
A few weeks ago my buddy got banned for calling Klu Klux Karen (mtg) a funhole.
I guess free speech is a little complicated

Regarding Reddit today, with much of the platform "dark" in protest to a change they've made, requiring third party apps that, to my ignornant way of understanding it, bombard their servers with billions of "API calls" daily:
How can Reddit continue to exist if they have to pay bills for servers that do nothing but supply Reddit content to other apps, which aggregate and filter it? Can't get ad revenue from clicks on other apps. Can't show real traffic and "exposure" numbers to the advertisers, who are afterall the ones paying the bills...
Is Reddit demanding a crazy amount of money from these apps? Are the users simply a mob of spoiled fools who think this shtein happens for free?
Quote from: Diomedes on June 12, 2023, 06:39:17 AMIs Reddit demanding a crazy amount of money from these apps? Are the users simply a mob of spoiled fools who think this shtein happens for free?
Reddit just announced a price increase on their API that these apps use that make it impossible for the developers of the apps that use it to keep paying for it. The apps are free, and they contain tools used by thousands of unpaid moderators that the official app doesn't have.
Reddit was built on a whole lot of unpaid labor, and it'll probably just remove the mods from the most popular communities, replace them with new ones, and just keep chugging along.
What I'm trying to suss out is whether the uproar is that:
A.) They've gone from free access to, you gotta pay to mitigate our cost
Or
B.) They've gone from free access to, we're turning this into a profit center.
MFers on line acting like it's the latter...I'm not sure I"m buying that.
I don't know what they were paying before, but they're being priced out to get everyone back in the official app before they become a publicly traded company.
Now I'm understanding. That makes sense.
Elon is having a tough day today. I would feel sorry for the racist fargface but unfortunately the person making it tough on him is Mark Zuckerberg.
Kinda feels like watching a bully getting beaten up by a slightly less despicable bully.
Oh well. Threads isn't a bad site. I hope they keep the Nazis off at least for a while. The disclaimers they're adding to mutts like Don Jr. are pretty funny though.
I didn't go this long without a facebook account just to get one now for a fargin' Twitter clone.
Apparently you have to have IG to sign up
I'm hoping Bluesky works.
bluesky shtein the bed by taking too long...everyone is already moving toward threads
its been in beta for what feels like forever
They do appear to have missed the boat...but I'll never use threads or any other Facebook thing, never have
As soon as they make it so I don't have to delete my IG to delete my threads account, I'll sign up.
Also has anyone checked on Jay to make sure he's still alive after that Salma Hayek IG post?
Haha dude...she's still got it. My buddy sent it to me earlier. I'd drink that pool water
I logged into Facebook today at my wife's request to look at something happening here locally. Anyway....
A photo of all of us at the first game after T.O. joined the Cowboys popped up.
That was the infamous "let's hang and burn a jersey" fiasco at C-6.
We were all so much goddamn younger back then.

Miss the C6 days immensely.
Me too, Phreak. I used to have so much fun wandering around the lots checking in with everyone.
I'm going to make an effort to get up there this year.
was c6 mikes spot on the broad street fence?
Yep. Mike and SteveO
It still was the last I heard.
As for reunions, I'm still recovering from Jay's driving around Bethlehem after two pitchers of Alabama Slammers looking for a strip club.
Haha blame Beermonkey. He got me going kn Slammers. He also is responsible for the Rumpleminz portion of my life.
I don't really enjoy how twitter has become just a site for fight videos (at least in my feed) however there is a video making the rounds of some boat dock melee in Alabama that is a very fun watch.
yeah the Yall Qaeda boys got their asses whipped. It was good to see.
I got a bluesky invite, weirdly enough from the same person I got my gmail invite from 20 years ago. So long, poors.
I'm not familiar with blue sky - is it like Twitter or IG?
It's a twitter clone. If it were Instagram I wouldn't have even bothered.
Seems like instead of paying $40B for essentially a message board site, he could have just built a new one for a few dollars.
I signed up to get an early invite from Bluesky as soon as they took requests...haven't heard boo from them.
