Facebook is used heavily by many nonprofit orgs that I am involved with. It’s a cheap, easy tool to communicate with members. Many of these groups have ditched the paper newsletter and e-mail updates. FB has also become an important tool to invite people to events.

I just defriend the people who can’t be trusted to behave themselves.

Deactivated in June 2012. I know that date with specificity: day SCOTUS unveiled Obamacare decision. Facebook was on fire that day in the worst possible way. One “friend” had a reaction that utterly misstated a key holding. (You can hate it all you will, but at least hate it for the right reasons.) Drawing on a law…

I don’t normally have cockroach issues but I do live in a town where if you go outside at night when it’s warm, they’re everywhere, so them getting in occasionally is ok as long as we don’t find young ones.

I have my account set-up so I have to approve any tags before they show up in my timeline.

Me can understand why people not lining up to join in with two of most obnoxious fandoms in sports. At same time, that might have been best game of football me have ever seen, so it shame people missed that.

It’s going to come out that he was late to a practice or team flight or some other bullshit. Sometimes NFL coaches are so up their own ass.

A powerful and devastating story that deserved a much better writer than Maureen Dowd. I kept losing track at some points, I thought maybe it was just me. What a structural mess.

Hardy’s pretty hard to top as far as celebrities these days go I think.

Looking at the two of them next to each other in the top image, it’s hard to believe Leonardo DiCaprio was ever considered attractive.

I have old notebooks I care more about not marking up with dumb shit than some people care about their own bodies.

I remember really enjoying the first season of Glee, and had hoped it wouldnt follow the same sophmore season decline like Nip/Tuck did. But lo and behold, the second season was horrible, and it never recovered.

Eventually, yes, but at the beginning it was actually really clever. The same exact pattern that every other Ryan Murphy show in existence has followed.

Honestly, I think pedophiles are worse than murderers, because even murderers can find redemption in society, while pedophiles cannot be cured, and their lusts drive them to target the most innocent and vulnerable of our society. Their punishment should be one of two options: life in prison, or castration.

We’re all human. Yes. We make mistakes that sometimes have heavy consequences. However, owning and distributing something that abused kids as young as 3 years is disgusting. The internet does tend to be wayy self righteous and judgemental, but in this case, the condemnation is deserved. You don’t go on doing this for…

My favorite part of this comment is how you’re basically advocating sucking the cock of private industry for selling you products while giving them public funding because of the insinuation that it creates jobs.

The end result being that corporate profits rise untaxed while an ever increasing portion of everyone’s income becomes devoted to property taxes?

Counterpoint: I have a good job with a good company and don’t plan to leave. Amazon coming into town would do nothing for me but raise my taxes to pay them to come to my town. A few more millennials running around will only cause more traffic congestion and longer lines and higher prices at any decent local…

It’s 100% possible to use Amazon services and also not want the government to give them a bunch of free shit you know.

That is kinda the whole the point of the article, though: corporations’ tax responsibility is increasingly shifted directly onto that of workers. Corporate profits rise, and people live paycheck to paycheck for the privilege.
