And what's the probability that you will need to contact some random person in rural Africa on any given day, compared to people in the U.S. or other Western nations? And what's the rate of Facebook usage among your people's demographic, compared to the African one? In the U.S. I live in, practically everyone and their grandmom is on Facebook. Where are you from?
Exactly. The bothersome aspect of invasive advertisement is that it's invasive. If it's subtle and discreet......and my private information isn't being misused.....who really cares?
There is only so much room on this rock for humanity to spread out and multiply. Eventually, when resources are too short, wars happen....in this age, on a global scale.
So how does helping more people survive and multiply help? You think these poor peoples from Africa are magically going to discover civilization just because you airlifted pallets of food in? You think that homeless bum on the corner is going to quit being a homeless bum cause you gave him a quarter? No, they are in the situation they are in because of who they are and the choices they made.
If you want to waste a trillion dollars helping the helpless, by all means, do so...but don't spend any of MY money to do it. I have better things to spend it on....like building a bunker so my family will survive the next World War.
That really doesn't happen any more, and no leaders in any numbers or of any consequence within that broad swath of culture either call for or defend religion-based aggression for its own sake.
Are you fucking kidding me? A pastor the other day was just all over the news calling for parents to beat their gay kids.
Christianity is just as primitive and barbaric as Islam.
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Your post needs to be -1, Loud Mouthed Idiot.
Yes, sleep patterns, or the disruption thereof from an irregular sleep schedule, most certainly does play a huge role in the body's energy (fat) conservation strategies.....amongst countless other things.
I'm sort of the same way. I am self employed and isolated and my schedule is pretty much free to drift freely. I too find myself staying up a few hours later, then sleeping a couple hours later, resulting in a greater than 24 hour schedule. The only disadvantage to it really is the fact that I live in a small town where all the businesses close early. In a big city I could totally stay on this schedule indefinitely.
Well, you're lucky that you can actually force yourself to sleep. I try every night, I get home at 6pm and lay down. I usually lay down for 1-2 hours then maybe drift asleep for an hour before waking back up having to trying and force myself to sleep again. This continues until around 3-4am when I finally get to sleep (and remember dreams), but my alarm goes off at 5 and struggle to get ready and feel exhausted all day.
Take two hits off a joint about 30 mins before you hit the sack. You will get the best sleep of your life.
Well maybe if you had not let yourself become such a fat ass then you could still do that stuff. Ron Paul rides his bikes miles a week at 76. What's your excuse, chubby?
+1. I use what works best, discard what doesn't. Frugality is a big part of it. Sometimes the old ways are better, sometimes they're not. I shave with a two-sided safety razor, type on an IBM Model M. I'm reading this from a 24" LCD...which are connected to my quad core Athlon w/ 16gb on Windows 7. I drive an old hot rod, running a modern fuel injection computer and tuned with a laptop. I use cast iron cookware, ordered from my smart phone from Amazon.com without even leaving the kitchen. I use silver utensils passed down from my great grandma. While polishing them may be a bitch, it's a damn sight better than the stamped out steel (or worse...plastic) garbage everything else is using.
I think we are entering a new age of human (or at least, American) history, which is replacing the age of gluttonous consumption which has been prevalent. I think people are starting to pick up on and appreciate some of the older ways of doing things, especially in the wake of all the environmental consciousness etc.
I've always hated mowing grass, but you know what, with a push reel mower I just might like it again. The exercise would be great, you just can't beat the peace and quiet, and the environmental benefits are the cherry on top.
Actually, there is one thing I do like about Win8, and it's the improved Windows Explorer. There was lots of basic functionality lost from the File Manager days when Windows 95 came out, which has taken this long to finally be put back in.
I agree with someone else's observation about change. It would be much better if those doing the changing would actually bring along the great things from the previous iteration, instead of always taking two steps forward and one back.
Drop a big bomb on the mother fuckers. Problem solved. You know, I'm all against violence and warfare as much as the next person, but these stupid pricks just don't know when to quit. You wanna jam our shit? Hope you can afford to lose those jamming trucks, assholes.
Basically, the GP is a can't-do whiner who will succeed in accomplishing nothing with his life, until the moment real men with balls and testosterone save him, or he dies clueless and screaming in the process.
World War 3 is nigh....and the grinder is gonna tear him up. Gotta be hard to survive what's coming next.

My roommate (who can well afford it) is trying to avoid the SMS tax on his pay as you go phone, [....] It's really annoying
Your roommate can "well afford it" exactly because he realizes he can't afford it.

U mad bro?
Why in the world would we do that?

You sure it's that we lack discipline? Or maybe we just don't agree on the same priorities?

By the way: the reason you feel tired is due to lack of carbs. Don't cut back on carbs--increase your activity level. The "all fruit" diet is garbage.

I use a safety razor to shave. It was more hassle to learn, but I get a much better shave.
You know, I'd like to have one of those old push reel mowers. I bet cutting the lawn in silence is much more peaceful.
the car needs an auto mechanic because everything is too complicated to do yourself.
No it's not.
Obama will be leaving office in about 8 months. We'll just leave it at that.
