  - you say pataca, I say picatta (err, yeah, that one) -- nm - ty97 Oct 26, 07:22

Oscar-winning director quits Scientology and goes public with his reasons. -- (link) - mara Oct 26, 06:50 38
- Minor quibble: He's an oscar winner and a director, but not an oscar winner for directing. -- nm - Inigo Oct 26, 07:17 1
  - Pedant -- nm - Matt Damon Oct 26, 07:18
- So just skimmed, but it looks like his reasons have nothing to do with the beliefs of Scientology all being bat-shit crazy? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 06:58 24
  - From a totally objective view, is we came from aliens actually crazier than 'there's a man in the sky who created everything in 7 days'? -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 07:02 19
    - very much a pot & kettle situation. -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 07:15
    - "religion" and objectivity are not on the same continent -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 07:06
    - In my opinion... - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 07:04 12
      - atheism can be a "religion" too -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 07:17 11
        
        depends on how you define "religion" -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 07:21 3
        
        and "too". and "can". -- nm - TFox Oct 26, 07:22 2
        
        and, for that matter, "atheism" -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 07:22 1
        
        and we're not all that sure about "a". -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 07:24
        
        oh it is not. -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 07:19 6
        
        can be -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 07:22 5
        
        Only if you define religion in some weird way that makes the word kind of meaningless. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 07:23 1
        
        i don't some people do atleast i put "" around religion -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 07:24
        
        You can put wheels on a cow but it doesn't make it a car. -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 07:22 2
        
        no cars are measured in Horse power and thats a whole diffenret species -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 07:26
        
        (this is your Dr. Phil folksy saying moment of the day) -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 07:23
    - I would say no until you get to the part about the DC-7 airplanes. -- nm - Reagen Oct 26, 07:04 2
      - well, there's that. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 07:12
      - Yeah, and the thetans with the movie theatre-like projections. -- nm - Inigo Oct 26, 07:08
    - *is waiting for his mansion* -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 07:03
  - No, but there's no reason why that should be his reason. People rarely go from "this makes sense to me" to "wait, no it doesn't." That's not how the - mara Oct 26, 07:00
  - I don't think most people are in it for the Xenu. I think they're in it for the "social consciousness". -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:59 2
    - and for self-help -- nm - Roger More Oct 26, 07:00 1
      - if i had a hammer -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 07:03
- That's ballsy. Good for him. -- nm - Inigo Oct 26, 06:56
- Now could he apologize for the mediocrity that was Crash? -- nm - ty97 Oct 26, 06:51 9
  - I don't even know that I'd say it rose to the level of "mediocrity." - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 06:59 8
    - I remember watching it and thinking it was decent. - ty97 Oct 26, 07:02 7
      - C'mon, it was up against Brokeback, which wasn't very good either. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 26, 07:04 6
        
        I'd put both Brokeback and Good Night/Good Luck easily over Crash. - ty97 Oct 26, 07:13 1
        
        I haven't seen the others, but the outcry over robbery of Brokeback is befuddling to me. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 07:14
        
        *stern gaze* - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 07:11 3
        
        If you're going to have a 'controversial' love story...you better make sure the love story is worth it. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 07:13 2
        
        This is my main problem with the movie too. I never bought that they were in love. I never even bought that they were in lust. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 07:25
        
        I recall discussing this with you in the past, I think, and it comes down to differing views we have of the portrayal. - ty97 Oct 26, 07:19
Whoever is causing my players to have season-ending injuries, please stop it. - Was Bar Was Oct 26, 06:46 1
- Whoever is causing me to keep awful running backs, make me stop it. - Will Hunting Oct 26, 06:49
State grapple with regulation of marajuana in absence of federal enforcement -- (link) - znufrii Oct 26, 06:45
Facebook is proving that people are afraid of change just because it's change. - nubby Oct 26, 06:28 32
- I'm kind of baffled for the same reason. - Callisto Oct 26, 06:59
- and they still voted for Obama! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 26, 06:52
- I haven't figure out why different things go in different feeds. - ty97 Oct 26, 06:49 8
  - i have the same problem - this isn't clear at all -- nm - undeadMojo Oct 26, 07:14
  - from what I've been able to see, everything goes in your live feed, listed chronologically - znufrii Oct 26, 06:51
  - News Feed is the "most popular" stories only. Live Feed is everything. -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:51 5
    - I guess it's using logic about how I comment on/talk to? Because I've got posts in my news feed that have no likes/comments/action. - ty97 Oct 26, 06:53 4
      - Most total likes and comments, I think. -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:57 1
        
        Top item in my my news feed has no likes, no comments. - ty97 Oct 26, 07:01
      - there's a slider-panel that lets you emphasize things, too, somewhere -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 06:53 1
        
        Interesting. I'm not really complaining, but more trying understand the algorithm they are using. - ty97 Oct 26, 06:56
- I don't even really see what changed. I switched to the Live Feed and it looks exactly like the old page did. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 26, 06:43 5
  - I do this, but for some reason, whenever I have to log in (instead of it remembering me) it defaults to the News Feed, and I have to change it over. -- nm - znufrii Oct 26, 06:47 3
    - yep. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 07:23
    - Hmm. Mine stays on the Live feed. Wonder if it's a cookie-based setting or something. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 26, 07:03
    - Me too. -- nm - Jim Oct 26, 06:47
  - That's exactly what I thought. -- nm - MDH Oct 26, 06:45
- I call what Facebook is doing change for nothing but the sake of change. People making changes to in an attempt to validate what they do. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 26, 06:42
- Yeah, I thought that when I saw the new "CHANGE IT BACK!!!" group pop up. I don't care for the double feed but don't feel THAT strongly this time. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 26, 06:42
- Therefore America should just bite the bullet, adopt socialised medicine and get rid of the penny :) - Roger More Oct 26, 06:42
- I'm not sure that's fear, exactly. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 06:35 3
  - "I'm not afraid of gay people, I just hate 'em." -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:36 2
    - i think people are more of the 'if it's not broke don't fix it" mentality. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 06:45 1
      - I think people are just confused. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 06:51
- I do not necessarily think you are talking to me, but I like having status updates only - so there was a fix for that - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 06:33 5
  - Hold on a sec...back up and talk to me about "status updates only". - Jim Oct 26, 06:38 4
    - I think so - I just did it this am - go to your Home button and on the left side - there is a "more" button - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 06:43 3
      - Nice - thx! -- nm - Deevil Oct 26, 06:46
      - Rock on...thanks. I'll play around with this and see what I like. - Jim Oct 26, 06:46 1
        
        yall are welcome- I am not going to miss the Mafia updates. ha ha -- nm - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 06:49
- Hmmm...well, I don't know what it looked like before, cause I'm new. I just think the news feed is obnoxious. - Jim Oct 26, 06:32
- the new split just seems pointless to me. -- nm - Andie Oct 26, 06:31
One More Week to sign up for Secret Stalker!!! Don't delay! Don't miss out! Don't be sorry in December! -- (link) - Andie Oct 26, 06:19
i'm sure Bery already knows that the Tron is searching in 2008, right? - Andie Oct 26, 06:18 6
- I cannot replicate this. 2009 posts show up fine for me in search. How many letters are you searching? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 06:51 2
  - and are you limiting by a username? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 06:51 1
    - *starts to wake up* Oh, I see. Using the wrong tool. Nevermind :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 26, 06:52
- We also need to petition that posts start carrying years on them. -- nm - nubby Oct 26, 06:29
- I think you need Dr S.Talk, not the Tron -- nm - Roger More Oct 26, 06:19 1
  - oh, right. the new left bar messed me up (i'm an idiot.) - Andie Oct 26, 06:20
The kid at DD got the order wrong of course, but what he made is so much more delicious than what I ordered, I don't even care. - Deevil Oct 26, 06:15 5
- what does the caff do to you? headaches? -- nm - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 06:17 4
  - At this point mostly just makes my heart and mind race. And then, the plummet. When I drank coffee every day - Deevil Oct 26, 06:24 3
    - btw, - zork-o'-lantern Oct 26, 06:39 1
      - He's well, thx! I'll let him know you asked about him. -- nm - Deevil Oct 26, 06:42
    - I myself hate this unknown - I know some day someone is going to accidentally screw it up. - Trick or Pippy Oct 26, 06:31
The other site makes my brain hurt. Not the content, just the way it looks. They've actually made the ticker compulsory, right? You can't turn it off? -- nm - mara Oct 26, 06:13 2
- you can turn it off by going to the left hand side of the ticker and clicking 'hide' -- nm - Roger More Oct 26, 06:14 1
  - Hmm, looked for that and didn't see it, but I probably wasn't thinking clearly at that point. -- nm - mara Oct 26, 06:36
Is it wrong of me to hope for 10 points from Clinton Portis tonight, just so the Spawn vs The FF World can continue? -- nm - Jim Oct 26, 05:58 3

  - No kidding. I also think it's funny that to win this week, he'll have tobe one of the highest scoring teams this week. - Jim Oct 26, 06:08 1
