On my way home last night I passed at least four guys on bikes texting or having conversations on their phones. Only one hands free. - . Jul 12, 20:28 4

- This is a great feed -- nm - prayformojo Jul 13, 05:22
Do I need to watch Trollhunters before watching 3below? -- nm - Amoxy Jul 12, 18:35 3
- Ehhhhh ... it might help. But on the flip side, Trollhunters is good, so watch it. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 18:37 2
  - Saw it was Anton Yelchin's last role, starting with it. -- nm - Amoxy Jul 12, 18:45 1

- [deleted]
- This is a tweet that may not age well. -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 18:25 1
  - Hopefully it does, though. Hopefully it's a total swing and a miss from Barry. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 19:06
- Well ... how fake is it? Many people in cities could be said to have anxiety. There will be some wind and rain. And certainly some people are leaving. - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:53
- Come swim for the 4th of July, the beaches are safe. -- nm - City of Amity Jul 12, 17:52

A little story about Bob Ross and where his paints are. (Hint: not for sale.) -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 12, 16:22
I'm of the opinion that investors should flee companies that disrespect their customers so badly that they get fined by the FTC. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 12, 16:16 26
- Why? - Cuzzin Todd Jul 12, 17:20 20
  - *That's the problem.* There's more to life and human society than the bottom line. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:22 19
    - #LateStageCapitalism -- nm - Qale Jul 12, 17:49
    - True. But that has nothing to do with stocks and investing and such. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 12, 17:34 1
      - Which is what I'm saying the problem is. It's psychotic. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:39
    - Customer....not prisoner...they don't have to be there...yet they stay customers. You are projecting your emotions, not theirs. Facebook is making $ - Bacon Jul 12, 17:30 15
      - Prolonged and repeat mistreatment of customer information should (and eventually must) result in being seen as an indefensibly toxic practice. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:38 14
        
        From the customer perspective, people for the most part don't seem to care. As much as they probably should. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 12, 17:59
        
        (From an investment perspective, in addition to the customer perspective. It is a danger sign for a significant future meltdown.) - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:44
        
        Look at facebook like cigarettes. People know it's bad for them but they are addicted to it. -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:43 11
        
        That's a fair assessment for customer usage patterns, yes. - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:47 10
        
        Just like profits, analysts will speculate about an upcoming fine amount. If the fine comes in lower, the stock rises, fine higher the stock can fall - Bacon Jul 12, 17:51
        
        Oh, wait. The after hours window is only about 2 hours, isn't it? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:51 8
        
        Extended hours are, but stocks trade after hours all the time. -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:53 7
        
        But most online tickers wouldn't factor that in until the next day, right? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:55 6
        
        No stocks still move on news. There is the closing price, and an after hours price. - Bacon Jul 12, 17:58 5
        
        TIL. Thanks! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 18:00
        
        Facebook closing and current after hours price - Bacon Jul 12, 17:59 3
        
        Oh! Hmm. Actually that's pretty muted. Thanks! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 18:00 2

        yeah, that is a tiny move -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 18:01
- Look at the airline industry, they fucking suck and are making trillions -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:18
- Makes sense to me. - Super Daddy Princess Jul 12, 17:05 3
  - Spot on -- nm - Bacon Jul 12, 17:19
  - To me the risk is that they won't learn from their behaviour, which means that it will continue. And that which continues, worsens. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:10 1
    - Although to be clear, I'm not suggesting it doesn't make sense. I'm saying it's not right, from a moral/ethical standpoint, to make money from them. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 17:11
I haven't posted a link to my revolving Spotify playlist The Twenty in a couple of weeks. - Qale Jul 12, 16:03 [spotify]

    - Risk of longterm brain damage, kidney failure, etc. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 12, 15:45

  - Yeah, the only way any normal guy gets a point is if she makes an unforced error. Who knows, she might sneeze during a swing or a bee could fly in - Krusty Jul 12, 14:34
- You keep using this word jabroni and it's awesome! -- (edited) - Charlie Kelly si Jul 12, 14:24 4

- yikes. I will note that the drug name seems to be a thinly veiled cover for "Evil" - Max Jul 12, 13:11 2
