"So this one Nurse at work, asks me every time I see her now how much I have lost. Then precedes to tell me my body is in starvation mode and will hold onto all the fat it can. So I asked her, how long would the body stay in starvation mode and not release the fat. She says 6 months no matter what I do!!!"
Totally random, specifically to enrage astronophiles!
Aww... somebody needs a hug! And... maybe a cookie?
Seriously... lighten up. These here be ye boards for commenting, not ye boards for planking.
That i "went above and beyond after having it pointed out speaks volumes" about having a healthy sense of humor. Cookies are medicine, you know... take two and maybe your sense of humor will recover!
You're a very serious person. Congratulations on that... Just to be obstinate, I am holding my right hand over the portion of the screen which is displaying whatever text you're quoting.
Further, I will allude to what is known as "The Draft," which is comparable, but exceeds a cash requirement and goes directly for your life.
This highly dismissive post is intellectually dishonest.
It's like to chose to react and in doing so dismissed the notion of actual thought... Are you, at all, familiar with the "Slippery Slope" argument?
You are correct in that these will not be, "mandatory government issued computers or something." They are, in fact, much worse... the government doesn't have a 90% market share on computer operating systems.
"I think the main problem is there's no events functionality, which is the most important feature of Facebook... to me."
I would be willing to bet that more people would complain about the removal of games than would if events were eliminated.
It seems to me that the reason no one "seems to be using" google+ has more to do with people being able to choose whether or not to pay attention to the inane posts of others, whereas they are unavoidable with facebook. No matter how few or many contact you have; you aren't guaranteed an audience with g+
That missing [forced]direct feedback channel is both the boon and the bane of g+
Of course... I don't really know, as I've stopped using both services due to the fact that they're asinine.
Ignoring the notion that contractors such as Akamai have monitoring access to these devices is a dangerous misconception to have. There are avenues available for even this highly secured information to leak... nothing about this new device changes the NSA's outsourcing policies.

What?? No strange personal attacks or offers to take sewing lessons from with my mom?
We do mostly agree... And, thank you for not processing words on a screen as some bizarre personal attack. When the context of "Ad Nauseum" becomes weekly or, just... ongoing (My kids watch things over and over, just never in the same day) we are mostly in the same boat. I'm was speaking more to the viewing habits of the children of my extended family (and in-laws); where a copy of Dirty Dancing (Yes, Patrick Swayze... Who won what now?) or The Nutty Professor or f'ing Shrek are played in perpetuity.
So. You choose to read a comment and then get angry about it. Good call.
You feel really powerful... like your words matter to some random stranger, but; "but you're really just a fucking tool when you do nothing but point how smart you feel in that area."
Heaven forbid I share an opinion... What a total jerk I am for having one.
I do have kids. And they get to watch videos as a reward, to them, for achievement... Not as a reward, to me, for being too busy to be more creative and engaged in their development. I was commenting on the "Ad Nauseum" part of the comment... whether or how I approve of the use of a screen as a babysitter has little to do with the thousands of alternatives to pressing replay.

It's going to last for at least 6 months... no matter what you do!!!

"I can understand, and support, the very same throttling at the ISP level"
Really? ISP throttling bandwidth? You can understand that? And support it?
That's retarded.
"Yeah, we owe the corporations a profit..."
You don't owe any corporation a god damned thing.
That is all.
Oh, I beg to differ. That you could take a word I've said seriously sort of points you in the direction of being dysfunctionally uptight.
Or, a bit dumb, but; That doesn't really appear to be the case.
Chrome is not, in any way, open source.
"37 tabs open in 3 "tab groups"
lol.
And Microsoft succeeded.
finished that for you.
False positive.
Only when the escalator is broken?

This story is about the United States, you insensitive clod!

I'm not reading your journal entries and stalking your comments. I replied to the stupid one.
You did too.
Yaaaaay!

You should die in a fire.
You might find it more constructive to redirect your anger toward someone who isn't actively trolling comments.
