Thank God. This is probably the reason I am still on Reddit. I'm on my phone a lot so a mobile browser is essential to me.
Wouldn't be surprised to be honest.
I believe this "unbreakable" linebacker is already here and their name is Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman.
I thought Seinfeld was stupid. Bring it....oh god I'm gonna die...
> Yesterday my boss asked me if I had seen the Nate Silver interview on "reddit?". That was a trick question... Edit: Damn it...I can't format...
Reddit is being sold? What? 0.0
I've just started. I still use Reddit but Hubski is quickly becoming my go-to site. It may be smaller (~5500 registered users) but the coversations are of higher quality.
Alright, thanks for the info. Fingers crossed for an Android app. Also, sorry about the Cannibal Corpse album cover. Couldn't help myself.
Thank you :) can't wait! Is the app going to be iOS or Android? Or both?
Of course. Like I said, I'm new and I'm still trying to figure out how to work the site. Especially off of my phone since I mostly am going to visit while at work.
I think she updated her blog and said that FB reversed its stance and deleted the picture. And no one looked happy in the new cover! Should have stuck with the old one. At least in that one they could pretend to still enjoy being the Beetles.
The article is badly written. The blog is pretty much a feminist ranting amd raving over what she believes are wrongs committed against women.
Claire has posted at least three posts from this blog (which she runs). The Facebook post, one about the Rapes kn India, and that the CDC is sexist. In the CDC article she signs it Claire, pointing to the OP as the author of the site. I'd provide links but I am new to Hubski and I am on my phone. So its kind of taking me a bit to get a hang of it.
I think I would have liked the bottom cover over the one that replaced it. It actually showed the band enjoying themselves. Anyways, you are right it is a slippery slope. Imagine someone photoshops a photo of a group of friends (the editor is also in the photo). He enhances it, makes it look better but it accidently makes one person slightly off color. Now if the "offended" person filed a complaint to Facebook to delete it and it does, what does that say to everyone? Free speech and freedom of expression is dead on this site. Continued complaints would probably arise and next thing you know, Facebook is an online version of Mao's China. It can cost the site money and it can be a public relations nightmare. Now I may not agree that this picture is alright but you have to look at it this way. It was meant as a joke (a tasteless one). Just how some men tell their lady friends to get back in the kitchen and make them a sandwich. This image macro was created to poke fun at a woman's "place" in a male domimated society. Then again I might be overthinking this and it could all just be a guy advocating violence against women. Who knows?
So they're going to try to recoup some of the money they paid back and pocket it. Isn't life grand? AIGs shareholders are trying to pocket 25 billion from the Federal Government. Money that it can use to fund education or fix roads. Hell I'd rather they build a few more submarines with that money instead of giving it to some old rich guy who is about to kick the bucket.
Not really surprised at this since Facebook is a large site. Hundreds of millions of people use it daily. It would make sense that not every picture or post will be moderated to the degree that one would like. I see profiles with pictures that are pretty sexually explicit and Facebook hasn't made any moves to delete the accounts. Also a photoshopped picture of a woman made to look like she is beaten up isn't too crazy. When you consider the fact that they allowed pictures of people openly ridiculing the #cutforbieber cutters (posted pics of bloody and cut arms) that happened the other day on Twitter. Point is, this isn't really an issue since no one was truly hurt (except maybe feelings) and the title was sensationalized. Just because this picture was not deleted it does not mean that Facebook is alright with violence.
Maybe we should introduce them to the wonders of American Football and have them use those as a proxy for any disputes they might have. In the event of a tie* have both teams play a full game of Rugby. No pads allowed. I'm sure that'll fix any problems they might have. *: Yes it is possible to tie. Came as a shock to me as well. :( my poor Niners...
I see. So basically the former chief is forcing AIGs hand. Even though it will be a PR nightmare they payout is too big to ignore so they might just go ahead and join the lawsuit since the alternative is to get caught in a lawsuit of their own later on down the road. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. It's stupid if you ask me but then again, that is a lot of cash we're talking about.
