Cancer Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Re: Musings on Random Musings I think if I could plan for an upcoming apocalypse of pretty much any type' date=' I would stockpile coffee. Coffee of every sort, from cheap instant crystals to the finest beans in the world. The way people act when they don't get it, and the way people act when they do get it... I could pretty much barter my coffee for anything else in the world, from food to weapons to sexual favors to slave labor.[/quote'] In the black markets in Germany shortly-after WW2, what you describe was true, provided you substitute "cigarettes" for "coffee".

James Gillen Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Re: Musings on Random Musings It's kind of funny. I was looking back on my last year's worth of Facebook posts. Apparently' date=' teh ebil bunneh ranges from being a mere narcissist, to a neighborhood (nuisance), to a thug, to a vicious serial killer, to a genocidal world-leader wanted by the international communityr, to the harbinger of the end of the world.

tkdguy Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Re: Musings on Random Musings I propose we create a new sub-forum off of the NGD: The Outrage Forum. Politics' date=' news coverage of crappy people and crappy events, and general awful stories. Then the NGD will be all kittens and sunshine.[/quote'] In the nogadi forum, we had a place reserved for outrage and flame wars. We called it "The Inferno." We later added another sub-forum just for politics, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Re: Musings on Random Musings I have plenty of friends who are there and I love them. I started my timeline. My spotify is handcuffed to the damn site, I changed my relationship status when I was in one, and I see my mom there occasionally. Pictures of my adorable nieces and the adorable children of friends. I just don't like Facebook. Don't like their crappy games, don't like their crappy policies. Could be my hipster reactive nature to dislike anything everyone else likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Re: Musings on Random Musings The problem with Facebook is everything you put on there is world readable. I don't need for my family to see what I'm telling my friends, or for future employers to see what I'm saying about former employers. This is on top of the constant privacy and security problems they've always had. I do find it somewhat useful to have the account and treat it as mostly read only. That way I can keep tabs on my more narcissistic acquaintances while giving up minimal information to the marketers in return. I never understood what the appeal was until I saw the Social Network movie. When I learned that it was basically a frat house app it all made much more sense.
