What's the name of that phenomenon where, after you learn a new concept/get exposed to a new meme, you suddenly see it everywhere?

And why, pray tell, is this phenomenon named after the German Red Army Faction of terrorists?
- DJF
http://www.damninteresting.com/the-baa...: "How the phenomenon came to be known as 'Baader-Meinhof' is uncertain. It seems likely that some individual learned of the existence of the historic German urban guerrilla group which went by that name, and then heard the name again soon afterwards. This plucky wordsmith may then have named the phenomenon after the very subject which triggered it."

Burning Man Addresses 2012 Ticket Situation (Burning Blog) - http://blog.burningman.com/2012...

Betsy, grizabella, Louis Gray and 7 other people liked this
From the blog post: "The Burning Man organization recognizes that the ticket registration and random drawing process has caused many participants frustration and concern over whether they can attend the event this year." ... "We believe we need two weeks to let the dust settle to see how much redistribution happens. Even with that redistribution we know that key people and projects may not get confirmations in time to move forward with their plans. We are looking at options to keep that from happening." ... "Not everyone who wants a ticket this year will get one, that is clear — the demand clearly exceeds supply. But we are going to do everything we can in the coming days to ensure that we preserve and respect the community that supports and creates this event both in the short term and long term. We will be reaching out to you and working with you to make that happen. We recognize that we have work to do to repair the faith in the organization. We are very sorry for the frustration, anxiety and deep disappointment this year’s ticketing experience has caused for so many citizens of Black Rock City."

Stephen, I was surprised to see the admission in the email from them, since last week they INSISTED that it was all the theme camps who had extra tickets even though everyone was reporting that theme camps were generally completely screwed on tickets.

Joey, I agree -- too complex and too poorly communicated from the start, and the BMorg was too stubborn to listen to all the feedback they got that it was a highly flawed and doomed approach they took this year. Kevin's absolutely right, CC's system is a million times better than this ridiculous nightmare (and I say that as a person who managed to get tickets in the first lottery).
- Stephen Mack
And I predict that STEP at the end of the month won't solve the problem. There will still be many complaints from the community. And sometime around then is when they'll realize that about 20k tickets are in the hands of scalpers and speculators.

Damn! I was going celebrate my Reno relocation by going to Burning Man. It sells tickets? And does it this early? (that's way more corporate than I expected!)
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
Rudi, yup, it's been a early-ticket-required thing for many years now. In part because of how much planning is needed -- they really want to discourage people from showing up at the gate on the night of the burn in the desert with no food and water. For good reason. For many years, the earlier you bought a ticket, the cheaper that ticket was. About 10 years ago they stopped selling last...

But given the possible profits, and starting off smaller it sounds possible. I'm not into burning man, but I like free markets. I'm a little surprised some corporate entity hasn't started thinking about this.

Dario: Burning Man is all about trying to avoid anything free-market. This is their attempt to deny reality, and it has of course failed.

Also, there have been competing events (4th of Juplaya and Burning Bush come to mind) that attempt to recreate some of what Burning Man is and was. The BLM is catching on though, and implementing special closures and controls to fight the proliferation of them.

"When we first investigated this phenomenon in 2009, we discovered that photos "deleted" from Facebook seemingly never go away if you have a direct link to the image file on Facebook's servers. Users who might have had second thoughts about posting a photo—whether it was because they didn't want retaliation from an employer, wanted to avoid family drama, or uploaded a photo of a friend without their permission—could certainly remove the image from Facebook's main user interface, but as long as someone had a direct link to the .jpg file in question, the photo would remain accessible for an indefinite amount of time. When we asked Facebook about it, we were told that the company was "working with our content delivery network (CDN) partner to significantly reduce the amount of time that backup copies persist." But when we followed up on the story more than a year later, our "deleted" photos were still accessible via direct link. That's when the reader stories started pouring in: we were...

Reader advisory question - My soon to be 12 year old daughter loves reading books in a series. She has read The Hunger Games series, the Gallagher Girls, Percy Jackson, the Bayern series, and is currently reading The Ranger's Apprentice. Any suggestions?

She might like Terry Pratchett's books about Tiffany Aching. The first one is The Wee Free Men. Cornelia Funke's Inksheart books are good, too. Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials is good, too. Has she read Susan Cooper's Dark Is Rising series?
- Katy S
Oh - and Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles. I like the early books better than the last one in that series, but it's an overall fun set of books. And Philip Pullman's Sally Lockhart books are a great mystery series. ETA (because I keep thinking of more): Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus series is very good, and I personally love Diana Wynne Jones' Dalemark Quartet.

Rick Riordan also has two other series if she liked the Percy Jackson series. I also like Philip Pullman's series. What about the Time Quartet ('A Wrinkle in Time', etc.)?

Re Xanth: First 3 books are good, crap after that. In fact, the first three of any Piers Anthony series are good, then skip the rest. +1 to His Dark Materials. Mither Mages is worth checking out.

You can feel superior merely by having been a vegetarian for a short while and having an epiphany about why vegetarianism is phony. Then you can feel superior to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

You have to be a believer turned atheist/former vegetarian former smoker to truly feel superior.

Just *be* superior. That shit is the real shit.

Vegetarianism is so 1977. Get into Paleo.

No. You have something you want to say, even if subconsciously, otherwise there would be no post. So, come on, say it. It's just a small community.

Christo: To be fair, this was a GChat status msg, so it could easily be a warning to friends who are pinging him on GChat for the first time in months.

First of all Kevin, you spelled my ID wrong. There is no H. This is very important. Secondly, we get so little from you Roman Gods of former glorious FriendFeed that we are compelled to comment on any message we receive. It is a sign for us. Our religion is not dead, but alive and prospering.

Christo, I think you need to clean the sand out of your man pussy.

Thank you Jimminy, for that advice. I wish you well in the future.

Even though lots of other months have 31 days, January always feels like it takes *forever* to end.

Ha! I was just thinking this a few days ago. Looking at the calendar, "How is it not February yet?!"

Nothing happens in January after the events of October, November, and December.

I think that's exactly why the Romans didn't bother naming the time between December and March originally.

Especially long considering that some of us got TWO holidays this month...

Yet after January, every other month seems to whiz by so fast.
- Kevin Fox
Yes, it's taking forever for the 31st to come so I can get PAID!
