    6 New ways that FACEBOOK spies and exposes your most personal information

    They have been proven to do stuff that goes way beyond what is outlined in the mile-long, obscure TOS list. If it's "paranoid" to want to be aware of that, and to modify your use of the site accordingly, so be it. Some of us prefer to inform ourselves, and to take reasonable steps to secure...

    US income inequality at record high

    If you can tell me what exactly will get accomplished by sitting around in a tent on a city sidewalk, surrounded by litter and unbathed potheads destroying random store windows, waiting for cops to haul us all away on vagrancy charges, I'll "Do something!" other than SMH cynically. In the...

    Unusual gifts from drunk dude

    I actually feel bad for the drunk dude- imagine waking up the next day, not just hung over, but finding out that your most prized sh1t is gone- and that YOU were the clown who did it to yourself?

    Wrist injury, need advice

    You could always run it by an orthopedist just for good measure.

    Ever set something down.....

    I'm not really sure where you're getting your "definition" from; but even the quickest Google search should set you straight. Ever see one of those old Simpsons reruns where Homer tries to get sarcastic with Smithers, or Lisa, or even Stephen Hawking? That's you tonight.

    So, Ariel Castro is dead...

    It was the rhetoric-style language of the post. To accuse people of "burying your heads in the sand" and "sweeping things under the rug", etc., is loaded language meant to guilt or to embarrass people for not doing what you think that they *should* do. At least, that's how I perceived it. I'll...

    Professional Busybodies

    Usually, when I think of doing stupid sh1t for kicks, it's more along the lines of eating a pizza with bacon and mac-&-cheese poured all over the top, or taking a random leak into the snow, or blowing up a Halloween pumpkin in my yard. Not putting strangers at risk of car accidents.

    OCD =/= neatness or organization...that's like calling yourself autistic because you play WoW and dislike the noise of chainsaws.

    Last time you paid for music?

    I probably shouldn't have even opened up this thread. Full-time pro player here; and to say the least, people talking flippantly about music theft is very, very bad for my blood pressure...

    Do you prefer to play music that makes you feel younger?

    I have just the opposite problem- I am 34 and would much rather play '80s metal, followed by "heavy" classic rock (think Ritchie Blackmore with "Rainbow"), etc., and I don't even want anything to do with the music of my actual Generation X peers. I hate punk and alternative; and the stuff...

    Has School Become Too Hostile to Boys?

    Born in the '70s and a schoolkid in the early '80s. In a lot of ways, I feel like we had a foot in both worlds- on the one hand, you had the old guard still punishing you for being a brat; and there were no automatic trophies for every kid who breathed- you were expected to achieve like crazy to...
