FACEBOOK JAIL - AKA I WISH THERE WAS A BETTER PLATFORM

Facebook hit my twice for the same post. I got 30 days because for some stupid reason it thought I had posted the same thing twice when in reality it was just once. I got talking in messenger to a couple people about it and it seems they have been hit the same way, more than once for the same post.

So much for commentary on the nature of cops who just keep doing racist things. Seems Facebook is the least likely place to be accepting about social commentary of any nature no matter what the topic is.

To top it off, they just changed their terms of service to make it a lot more easy to remove your posts and send you to Facebook jail or even deactivate your account.

I once got hit for a post that was 8 years old. All the sudden things they let you post in the long distant past are banned and the bots spank you for posting them. Who the hell remembers what they posted 8 years ago FFS?

The best thing is, Facebook has no idea who so many people have up and said "fuck this" and closed their account for good. To be honest if there was not a lot of people on there that I care about as much as if they where family, I'd be long gone from the site.

I wanted everyone to move over to MeWe, but to be honest, they won't FUCK OFF with trying to sell you a premium account and make you pay to use the crappy site. Every time I logged on there was a full screen popover that begged me to give them money. So I closed that account and will never be going back. I'll put up with ads to use a service, but if you get in my face asking for money every time I open the page, you can fuck yourself. Honestly it's like some meth head aggressively trying to get change off you every time you check the mail.

God I with there was a better platform for posting that gave you unlimited characters and the ability to post 30 photos of your cat in the same post. But there is not. I like Twitter, but the limit on how much I can say gets in the way at times and only being able to post 4 photos at once is a piss-off.

I tried liker, but Jesus that annoyed the shit out of me fast and I honestly did not see the point of how they did things.

I've gotten invitations to members only sites that have no rules but they are blog sites. To be honest the idea of a wide open site is not as appealing as you think. Some dude you follow start posting naked children and POOF you get investigated by the cops. These members sites always end up being hit in the end, and if you can't flag content like that and get it removed, you can end up in a world of shit.

We have tried private sites for our group, but hosting is a never ending battle to try and not go broke. They always end up telling you "you're using to much resources, you need a dedicated server". Then they tell you "you're using to much bandwidth or storage and you need to upgrade". Next thing you know your 14 members are costing you $250 a month. - so no.

If there was a reasonable alternative to Facebook I'd take it in a heartbeat. But there is no reasonable alternative at this time.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

Matilde Vicenzi Cookies Are Great

Image
Was sent these by a good friend for a birthday gift. They are really very good. Quite possibly the best cookies I've had in years. I tried them all, and I like the white one you see in the bottom picture, as it had a lemon taste to it. Some had a bit of liquid chocolate in them and where very good as well. Like normal, the ones with the bit of jam in them where a bit too sticky and chewie. But I seriously enjoyed all of them. These are great. I'm going to look them up on Amazon and if they are not too much money, I'm getting more for Christmas. OK just looked it up and NOPE, it's $28 a can. They are very good, but that is a bit out of my price range. But the usual Christmas Danish Butter Cookies are also kind of a lot of money now as well. They are also a bit moist, and not super dry like usual. Also not powdery like a lot of them do. I'd give these an 8/10 and would recommend highly.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

10 Questions Answered

1. How many times have you seen the time as exactly 8:18 am/pm in your life? Almost never. If I did I did not take note of it. 11:11 I always remember as well as 3:33. The middle of the night where all the horror movies have things happen is said to be 3:15am - you have no idea how many times I’ve woken up at 3:15am and looked at my phone. 2. What have you lived long enough to see? The list is rather long, but I’ll try to keep it short. Computers went from filling a room bigger than my apartment, to fitting in our pockets. When I worked in data entry, the entire building was using a 1GB drive that was the size of a stove. Now my 512GB micro SD card is smaller than a fingernail. Medical treatments like Stem Cells are not giving life back to people who would have died when I was younger. Medication I’m on did not exist 15 years ago, and it’s keeping me alive. All manner of medical wonders. Personal space travel. This was fiction when I was young, and now it’s happening. Then there is uns
