Math is hard:
"106 people pass away every minute. That's 6,375 every hour.......One minute can be you. Were not invincible. Sad to see so many people who think we are." |

Well if it is 6375 per hour, that translates to 106.25 per minute, so they just rounded down.

But the statistic was going off of how many per minute, not hour.

Someone I know and talk to on pretty much a daily basis, but am not facebook friends with got in a serious hit and run accident on her motorcycle. I somehow tracked her down on facebook, which was like super hard cause she had the whitest of white girl type names(think something generic like Amanda Black).
Anyways, I sent her some message like, "Heard you got in an accident...blah...blah....hope you get better soon." Well then I realize that there's no possible way that a person will actually see this message because we aren't facebook friends. I believe that *maybe* messages from non-friends go to the "Other" folder but I'm not even sure that's where they go. Like on the mobile app I'm pretty sure you can't even access that other folder. Your Facebook Has Two Inboxes, and You've Probably Missed Messages from the Second Anyways, I just did more digging on the thing and you can send it to their inbox directly but it costs 1 dollar. That's kind of bonkers. Last edited by stevew : 06-28-2014 at 02:29 AM. |

I posted your comment, Bobble, and here were these wonderful responses:
Fella: Shane, ideally the hive would run the fast food joint. Sort of like this: Something's Gone Terribly Wrong... Humans will still do things that humans need to do, but they will choose to do these things on a day to day basis instead of being stuck there for a paycheck. It's difficult to explain right now, but I promise that what's in my head can work. 1 hr · Edited · Like Fella: The idea is to have employees that want to be there, so they will do a great job. If nobody feels like working at McDonald's today, then McDonald's doesn't open. We would be able to rapidly change our daily priorities to fit with what's going on in the world. |

It boggles the mind that there are people who think that out there, somewhere, are other people who WANT to dig ditches, scoop up elephant poop at the zoo, and hand burgers through the drivethru windows (hopefully not all on the same day -- employees MUST wash hands, no exceptions). Anyway, please promise me, FOFC, that when Hive Law is passed, you'll give me plenty of notice so I can be the first one in the line for the Supermodel Massage Therapist job.

I think people actually underestimate the variety of jobs people are interested in doing. Obviously not on the sort of scale that these nuts are talking about, but for years I lived in a cooperative group that divided up all the work of a household and business. We thought we would have trouble with some jobs that nobody wants to do (literally digging a ditch was one of them, as well as washing toilets, dishes, etc.). But in fact we found there was never a job that we had any difficulty finding someone to do. We had several members who actually liked cleaning bathrooms, and all the other crummy jobs. We were surprised, but we never had a problem filling those sort of jobs. The big difference I think is scale--we were taking care of a home and business that we all had a stake in. A system like that doesn't work on a large scale, and particularly one that nobody feels invested in. Communities used to take care of themselves much more than nowadays because people felt they were theirs, and I think that sense is gone nowadays even in most small towns. There's a big difference between digging your ditch and somebody else's ditch. |

This post appeared in my feed, from (guessing) his mother to a guy I worked with about 6 years ago. Don't think we've had any interaction on FB really, and didn't know him all that well from work.
I'm typing exactly as written, other than abbreviating names to protect the innocent Quote:

That guy (Jesse) that I'd been posting about must have moved on from Katie. He posted a relationship status change the other day, a new girlfriend. Funny thing was one of the comments was said "WTF that is my brother's wife!"
More drama about to unfold? Stay tuned. |

We have this county wide garage sale type site. The other night some chick blew it up because her boyfriend was having an affair with one of the admins. Damn, now I wish I would have screenshotted it cause it was epic "I'll beat your ass bitch" type uic gold.

It makes it all but useless. I must have been one of the lucky ones they chose for the test because chat from within the FB app hasn't worked for me at any point on my recently acquired Galaxy. I've been forced to use the separate app the whole time (ever how many several months that's been)

So an older female friend of mine (around 60 and looks it) decided to announce on FB that she would no longer wear underwear.

Where have ya'll been? This is like the 4th year for that same basic gimmick. (It's also used a few times a year by other causes/charities/etc as well)
The viral breast cancer thing started with women posting a single word iirc, specifically a color, as their status. They'd post like "pink", "tan", etc. It was supposed to be the color of their bra and then people would ask "what on earth? Pink what?". And then it just sorta (d)evolved from there.

I know I'll come across as an old fart...but that's a ridiculous level of...asininity (word?)
People were bitching about the ALS challenge, but people, you know, actually mentioned ALS and referenced it in the status updates. How exactly is this bringing awareness without mentioning what we're to be aware of?

I did the ALS thing, and I think that it has done great and raised a lot of money. However, we will now all have to sit through a ton of "Wouldn't it be SO funny if this went viral?!?!" games that all justify themselves by making a drive-by reference to "awareness" of some disease. New ones, and, as Jon noted, old ones that will be resurrected in the wake of the Ice Bucket. |

Your awareness got heightened here. I've seen the same explanations (and discussions) end up occurring on FB. Ultimately though ... it's FB. Finding rationale ain't always a productive use of time
