Actually, she isn't invading their privacy. They were in a public location, and as such, have no expectation of privacy. Nor was Slocum obligated to stop recording even after they asked. It would've been the polite thing to do, but she was in no way obligated to do it.

Yeah, homegirl be cray cray. She's the one that started flinging insults at you and using profanity (not that I'm against profanity... I curse like a sailor myself... But you never responded with such rudeness to her that way). Also... Who TF thinks you're a girl? I took one look at your username and assumed you were…

Go on...

All of us have online identities that are some varying level of who we really are IRL. For some of us that may be because we're just trying to prevent doxxing, or maybe because we may work in industries or jobs that have specific social media use policies, so we can't use social media tied to our actual selves. Or it…

Where the fuck are Count Chocula, Frankberry, and Booberry?

Ooooh, I have tons of skeins of yarn from knitting projects I never started, lol. Mayhaps I'll try making one of these. :-)

I love, love, love Cmdr. Hadfield. He's probably my favorite astronaut and he's done so much to reignite a curiosity about space in so many young people today. I was so sad when he returned from the ISS because it meant my twitter feed would no longer be graced with his beautiful low earth orbit photos or his almost…

I'm sorry for your loss.

Haha. I follow him on twitter, but I haven't been paying much attention to my feed lately... But Steve Martin definitely seems like one of those celebrities it'd be a hoot to have lunch with.

Hey, going out like former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller... Death by shag... Not so bad, I suppose.

Appropriate user name given that comment, lol.

I used to work at a tv station with a reporter with a Polish last name. The news director thought its three syllables would be too confusing for people, so she made the reporter change it to a single syllable English word. When the reporter eventually got an offer in a bigger market she went back to using her given…

Why didn't they just cut to commercial? I used to be a director... That's exactly what I would've done. It's not that hard to drop a couple of promos into the server, add a line break, and then switch to them once it's done.

Happens in the US, too. In Texas, it is at the officer's discretion whether or not to have your vehicle impounded if you are caught going 24mph or more over posted speed limits.

Seriously? Just get a decent car charger to keep your devices powered up and use either your phone for your internet use, or its hotspot capability for your laptop. I used to do that all the time when I had to transmit photos from the road and was lucky enough to be tag-teaming with a writer so that I didn't have to…

Lol. You and your wife sound like fun.

Forget sticking tacks in your shoes... That's what yaktrax are for. Like these:

Wh...uh.... Ohhhhh. I see what you did there.

Then that's not an assimilation question at all, that's more of a personal credo question. Some people here think we have too many laws, that they're too restrictive of our freedoms. Others think we have too few. It's like marijuana legalization advocates or gun regulation advocates. People on either side of those…

Muchísimas gracias. ;-)
