At least I recognize my biases. Thinking that ads are a horrible way to make money because they very rarely, if ever, work on me? Bias. Which of course leads to whether Flickr's new biz model will work or not. If they can make the ad based model work, the new free perks are genius.
If they can't and they just pissed off most of their paying customers, well there's always all that revenue from Tumblr to fall back on. :D
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
This all assumes that Yahoo are looking to draw revenue from Flickr.

It's probably unwise of me to say, but I have pretty much learned to unsee ads. Someone almost has to point out that they are there for me to realize it.
- MiniMage
It gets really old when people assume that because you used to say or do things a certain way in the past that that's what you will continue to do despite ample evidence to the contrary.

Reconsidering the Feminism of Joss Whedon | The Mary Sue - http://www.themarysue.com/reconsi...
Lola Bean (Penguin), Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart, MiniMage and Jennifer Dittrich liked this
"He's earned the moniker of feminist seemingly through just the creation of strong female characters alone. But, as friend and scholar Jake says, "Having a girl beat up guys is not equivalent to a strong female character when they ALWAYS, CONSTANTLY depend on men." So true! Let's consider some of his body of work as we undertake the Topic that Made the Fanboys Cry: Joss Whedon's feminism."

Oh dear heaven, I just realized I may be a Kaylee. I had such mixed feelings about her. I couldn't stand how she was the "Willow" of the show, with the wishy-washy cutecutegag talk. I loved that she was a bad-ass technician, and I related to her man troubles and practical attire.
- MiniMage
I think the article makes some really good points, but I also think it completely misses the larger picture (especially when it comes to BTVS): Whedon wrote a show about high school/college-aged people. No matter how strong or independent they are, no matter how feminist they are, they're still teenagers/young adults, and they're still human. They're inherently going to still be...

I should give a certain someone exactly what he wants, and just disappear forever (mostly from here).

wouldn't it be easier to just block the person here and not have to worry about it?

Nothing but a steaming mess of Twitterhea.
- Laura Norvig
I need to unfollow that douche. And to think I used to think he had something to say ...
- Laura Norvig
He's been a ghost since at least 2008, I think he actually has 2-3 people behind his Twitter account.
- Jimminy IS Everybody
Ha, just went to Twitter and his was the first tweet in my stream. I unfollowed. It feels soooo good.
- Laura Norvig
He admitted a few years ago that he uses interns to tweet on his account. And I agree he's a douche.
- Trish R
All he cares about is his follower count. I used to think of him as someone who knew about agile business practices and social media. Now he just tweets about everything and anything.
- Laura Norvig
[redacted drive by Cristo comment]
- Laura Norvig
Thanks. Excellent answers. I never followed him, so I've been spared.
- Walt Crawford
I also don't like that he tweets the same thing more than once in a day.
- Yo Joe. No, go slow.
I followed him mostly because I thought he was handsome
- MiniMage
He doesn't retweet what others post, and he doesn't seem to at reply very often, but at least he does sometimes.
- Yo Joe. No, go slow.
I heard him talk as featured speaker at a Highwire Members Spring Meeting last year. Was very unimpressed. His whole (unprepared) talk was explaining/bragging about how he got a high follower count by... you guessed it, using interns and tweeting everything 3 times per day.

See, this is why I was never cool. Trying to make logical sense of "hold[ing] up your hands like the ceiling can't hold us" is upsetting me.

This is the sort of intellectual concept that can make drunk people hurl.

"But the ceiling… is up there! It's the floor that's holding us…!" *weeps inconsolably* *spills drink all over self* *gets dizzy trying to imagine standing on the ceiling* *vomits uncontrollably*
- Victor Ganata
No, no. You're not supposed to be /standing/ on the ceiling - Lionel Richie was very clear: you're supposed to be dancing on it.
- Jennifer Dittrich
When it comes to structural rigidity, I'm sure the floor is the last thing to break. While the floor may be holding you UP, it is only 1/6* of the things "holding you" (*assumes you are in a four-walled prism)
- Johnny
OK, I'll admit, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and Ray Dalton probably aren't literally talking about the structural integrity of a club, but it's still damn counterintuitive and I can't wrap my head around the metaphor no matter how much I drink.
- Victor Ganata
Whatever you do, don't factor in songs that imply that the top of the structure is ablaze; you might implode.

Well, and according to Procul Harum, sometimes the ceiling just floats away altogether.

Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.

I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.

that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.

At my old job, someone at the help desk made that typo; rhe PC was giving a disk error when the user tried to boot up. The support center rep's entry was, "User said she checked, and it had no <guess>." I can't remember what someone said to me five minutes ago, but I may never forget that, and it happened over a decade ago.

A few of my most famous chat room quotes were from hitting L when I should have hit the K key that was next to it. There is a big difference in meaning between "kick" and "lick". And a good friend of mine invented a new word that we will never let him forget, when he made the same typo, transforming "wonderful" into "wonderfuk". And he had a fantastic idea to save us all from our most embarrassing typos: http://omgplzstfukthx.blogspot.com/2008...

Teacher Suspended for Showing Gardening Tools to Class - http://www.thedailysheeple.com/teacher...
Steven Perez, Micah, Andrew C (✓) and Joe Silence liked this
"Doug Bartlett, a veteran teacher with an upstanding record of 17 years, has filed a lawsuit against the school district of Chicago for suspending him without pay after giving a lesson on gardening tools to his second grade students. The incident took place on August 8, 2011 atWashington Irving Elementary School. Mr. Bartlett recently filed suit on April 17, 2013 saying that he suffered humiliation and embarrassment as a result of his reprimand. The “hazardous” tools in question were pliers, screwdrivers and wrenches that only the teacher handled. The tools were kept in a locked toolbox high on a shelf out of reach before and after the gardening lesson. The district says that Mr. Bartlett exhibited negligence in supervising the children and for“possessing, carrying, storing, or using a weapon”. He was subsequently suspended without pay for 4 days."

WTF?

Those can't be classified as weapons; they can at most be dangerous instruments (of course, that's what my state says; I can't actually speak for Illinois).
- MiniMage
The way they put this in the teacher's records, simply stating it as “possessing, carrying, storing, or using a weapon”, it could be misunderstood to mean just about anything, including pulling out a loaded gun in the classroom or keeping one in his desk. This could come back to haunt him each and every time he applies for a teaching job in another district, with him being turned down...

Why Sleep Deprivation Eases Depression: Scientific American - http://www.scientificamerican.com/article...

"Sleep deprivation is a quick and efficient way to treat depression. It works 60 to 70 percent of the time--far better than existing drugs--but the mood boost usually lasts only until the patient falls asleep. As an ongoing treatment, sleep deprivation is impractical, but researchers have been studying the phenomenon in an effort to uncover the cellular mechanisms behind depression and remission. Now a team at Tufts University has pinpointed glia as the key players."

Between the rock of depression and the hard place of psychosis?
- Victor Ganata
Ok, but sleep deprivation makes people fat, which is depressing
- MiniMage
This also suggests that caffeine might actually potentiate depression, since caffeine is an adenosine receptor antagonist.
- Victor Ganata
I thought I might know what it was, given its Latin roots, but I had to look "potentiate" up to be sure.
- MiniMage
This is more about using sleep deprivation as an acute intervention, like for someone who got 5150ed because of suicidal depression, rather than chronic sleep deprivation, which has been known to increase serum cortisol levels, which can cause anxiety and depression and weight gain.

Antidepressant effects of sleep deprivation require astrocyte-dependent adenosine mediated signaling - Translational Psychiatry http://www.nature.com/tp...

Hmmm, and sleeping more than normal is something people are told might be a sign of depression in loved ones, but I suppose that's not really relevant?
- MiniMage
Both hypersomnia and insomnia are symptoms associated with depression, so it's complicated. :D
- Victor Ganata
I was more commenting on how excessive sleep deprivation tends to cause psychosis, so this kind of treatment surely has a J-shaped curve.

Due to franchisee bankruptcy, Popeyes has taken over 14 KFC stores and is converting them to Popeyes Louisiana Kitchens.

From newspaper reports KFC got surprised by franchise holder bankruptcy and Popeye's bid for property satisfied creditor and judge before KFC could react. KFC is (apparently) miffed to have the competition in a market they pretty much had sewn up. I'm looking forward to playing the coupon game. I do like KFC pot pies after all.

I like a lot of the food from Popeyes, but some of it is just spicy for spicy's sake, without much flavor. Their Dirty Rice, for instance, is actually really dry and somewhat bland, but rather spicy. Their mashed potatoes & gravy, however, are awesome.
