Has anyone noticed that the Facebook app on their phone picks up more posts in the news feed than the website does? - TFox Nov 16, 17:21 8
- I think that may be, in part, because on the phone app game app posts are not grouped together. - Stephen Nov 16, 17:28 2
  - Actually, on my Android app, it filters almost all game posts out. Maybe all. - TFox Nov 16, 17:30 1
    - Really? That's weird. I've noticed on the iPhone app that the game posts are just ridiculous to the point you really have to search anything other - Stephen Nov 16, 17:32
- Yes, actually. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 16, 17:27
- no i didn't notice that. what is your dominant masturbation hand, by the way? -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 17:25 2
  - more importantly, is it the same or different than your normal dominant hand? -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 17:26 1
    - do we think that guy in 127 Hours had to cut off his dominant masturbation hand to escape being trapped by the boulder? - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 17:34
- just the opposite for my droid, I can rarely download 'older posts' adn the mobile ap is totally worthless, only shows a few items several days old -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 17:24
ugh, well, I tried, but it looks like i'm going to have to get rid of Brutus, my bumble bee cichlid. - Stephen Nov 16, 17:16 2
- "...my bumble bee child" - what znufrii read Nov 16, 17:18 1
  - "All I can say is that my life is pretty plain I like watchin' the puddles gather rain." -- nm - Qale Nov 16, 17:28
WTF, Virginia? Someone in my neighborhood already has christmas tree lights up in their front yard. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 17:14 7
- atlest someone still lives there -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 16, 17:27
- burn down their house -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 17:20
- It's middle November. While many traditionally may put them up Thanksgiving, it's not like it's pre-Halloween anymore. -- nm - Qale Nov 16, 17:17
- if they are being sold in stores, they can be put on a house. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 16, 17:15 3
  - No. This is a violation of my 4th amendment rights. -- nm - Max Nov 16, 17:16 2
    - wrong bitches -- nm - bonny prince pixie Nov 16, 17:33
    - but its their first admendment right to freely express themselves, even if it means 20,000 watts of blinking blinking -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 16, 17:26
Honest question: I'm confused about the TSA outrage. Is it mostly left leaning people upset about it, or right, or both? Is it non-partisan? -- nm - Qale Nov 16, 17:14 20
- a guy my brother works with organized a mini-revolt in the airport this morning. seems after about 15 people around him in line opted for pat-downs, - mafic Nov 16, 17:32
- Having watched that video, I'm not actually that outraged. The agent isn't trying to cop a feel, she's just patting down her legs and arms. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 16, 17:29 3
  - If it were just legs and arms, nobody would be complaining. They're *required* to pat down groin areas and breasts. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 17:30 2
    - well with the low pay they have to have some perks! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Nov 16, 17:32 1
      - I have a feeling the agents aren't miniumumuimum wage positions. -- nm - Qale Nov 16, 17:34
- Full disclosure: Initially, I was in favor of the new scanners, when they were telling us they were completely unintrusive, etc., etc. As more - Stephen Nov 16, 17:27 4
  - I think this is pretty much how I feel too. Minus the card carrying member of the Republican party part. - Qale Nov 16, 17:33 1
    - It seems to me that it's about scaring the public into subservience. But done all wrong, and backfiring. - Beryllium (iPhone) Nov 16, 17:39
  - The IM should read "see some stranger performing the new techniques.....on my wife" - Stephen Nov 16, 17:30
  - Thanks for this post, Stephen. -- nm - mara Nov 16, 17:29
- non-partisan reaction due to people not wanting the TSA to be grabbing their junk, is my understanding. -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 17:17 9
  - as an infrequent flyer, its actually making me less likely to consider air travel, lets face it, you're just a thin panty away from a jail house strip - zeitgeist Nov 16, 17:29
  - I don't think the media is overreacting for once. Seems like an actual developing problem/outrage. I'm surprised airlines aren't trying to pressure - Qale Nov 16, 17:26 3
    - the important question is, how much of the utrage is people reacting to what they hear in the media about it? -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 17:26 2
      - No, not really. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Nov 16, 17:29
      - Considering just how many people fly, I'd say it probably has the ability to become legitimately broad rather quickly. Besides: - Qale Nov 16, 17:29
  - i.e. upset about the TSA checking if one is leaning left or right -- nm - JD Nov 16, 17:18 3
    - although, now that you mention it... - znufrii Nov 16, 17:22 1
      - You'll fuck that stat up for all of us. -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 17:23

  - (and i'm thieving it for Facebook, if you don't mind.) -- nm - TFox Nov 16, 16:59 3
    - No, never. I don't even need an acknowledgement. :-) -- nm - mara Nov 16, 17:00 2

Remlik, do you get HUB? They are running the 1966 Adam West Batman series late every night. -- nm - peglegpete Nov 16, 16:38 1
- nope -- nm - Remlik Nov 16, 16:51
