  1. I don't have Facebook but can you purchase items, media, etc through the app? I know when I installed the DirecTV app on my phone it was checking for root as a way to disallow rooted devices from using their streaming app. I had to use the magisk hide module to get around this.

  5. Re:whole tobacco alkaloids on E-Cigarettes Linked To Helping People Quit Smoking, Says Study (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I used General Snus, some Swedish spitless tobacco. It's easy, doesn't stink, doesn't make you gag or need to carry around a giant mudjug everywhere you go, tastes like Earl Grey, and is dirt cheap! I was a heavy pack or pack and a half smoker prior to trying snus, but it killed the cravings and I was able to just ween myself off, and it had a good psycho effect of my knowing it was nicotine and real tobacco.

    The only thing I miss about smoking is the mandatory smoke breaks lol. During stressful or crunch times normal breaks seem to get the teams in an uproar but a smoke break everyone seems to understand and let go.

    Let's see how you react if you get the same hourly rate after over a decade.

    Hell maybe you're just a little overpaid bitch who never truly worked in his life and you have the audacity of looking down on people who earn less than you even though they work more.

    The rates probably average out after a while. Out of high school I got a job at a Teamster company, and the only job there was to load and unload trailers. I was making $23 dollars an hour and had all medical/dental/pension, etc paid for... All for a job that literally pretty much any able bodied person could do. Sure it was great for me, but when you looked at similar companies almost all had either gone out of business or were bought out because of the unions unwillingness to negotiate.

    The companies would open their books and hold meetings, the union knew the situation and could do the calculations themselves, but they wouldn't budge, so instead of wages normalizing tens or even hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs. Then the out of work folks wouldn't take normal jobs due to them being compensated so richly for such non skilled labor, if wages had normalized then they would have been acclimated to accept similar wages, or would still be working as the company most likely would still be in business.

    "According to the SJW crowd. losing weight makes you fatphobic"

    Not to mention you have to be careful now if you post a photo of yourself getting fit and skinny quickly after giving birth. That also means you hate fat people and are pressuring them to lose weight.

    Taking the "fat phobia" further, it's getting to the point where if a man chooses a skinny woman over a fat one, he must hate fat people. People need to be "trained" to find fat women more attractive because they have been "trained" to think otherwise and must be wrong. If you don't date someone overweight there is a problem with you.

    There are actually services for women to rate doctors that don't harp people to lose weight when they are obese. It's pure insanity when a doctor can't express concern over someones well being because it may trigger them.

  15. Re:Again, this can only help Cruz on Anonymous Doxes Trump, But Leaked Info Underwhelms · · Score: 2

    Hillary can beat Drumpf without working too hard. Sanders can beat Drumpf without even needing to open his mouth. Frankly the democrats could run a ficus tree and almost certainly defeat Drumpf.

    The only person who has anything to gain from having Drumpf defeated before November is Cruz as he is the only GOP contender left who could possibly win the nomination if Drumpf was run out.

    Hillary has no chance. Trump can work the show and has owned beauty pageants. It wouldn't be beneath him to run a Ms. Bill Raped Me USA and the woman would proudly participate to have their stories heard. How can the SJW rally against rape culture then Hillary is an enabler to the extreme. Debates he can have rape victims font row, have them at rallies, etc.

  19. Ah well on What To Expect With Windows 9 · · Score: 1, Troll

    Over all I'm enjoying windows 8/8.1... The start screen isn't my cup of tea, but then again I use it the same way i use the start bar in Win7, hit the windows key and type a few letters then enter to select the app I want. Only difference is I can see the weather and maybe a news headline at the same time. One thing I love about it though is the new theme, it's like Win 3.1 done right, its simple, elegant and out of your way. So with pretty much instant start up time, great battery life, clean lines, and built in hyper-v Windows 8 is my choice, so I'm sure I'll enjoy 9 as well.
