    When people become and irrational and take something as simple as a reply as "I know" about a statement they made as some hugely offensive and disrespect remark. Get the fuck out of here. Sad thing is I have to mend things with this person and shit like "I'm sorry" doesn't cut it.

    So fucking stupid.

    Haha, that reminds me of a couple of times when I was upset at something someone said, and after explaining why I was upset and why I thought what they said was wrong, I kept getting "I'm sorry I upset you" and my response was "I wish you'd be sorry for what you said" but it was obvious they weren't going back on what they said.

    I do that... I will sometimes apologize for upsetting someone, but if I'm not sorry about what I said, I'm not going to apologize for it.

    Sinus issues/cold. Had one then the other. Only the last few years my right ear plugs up each time. Probably an infection from my sinuses... Doesn't hurt it's just just annoying.

    Looking at bank account, Amazon.de payment 49 €... what have I bought...? NOTHING. It seems I had Prime active and now was time for automatic reneval, but this time for money. But I don't even know what Prime is (some streaming and stuff, I doubt it would work in Slovakia, not interested anyway), when have I activated that? Subscription cancelled, let's see if I get some refund. Go to hell with these tactics. (Edit: It does not help I can't read German very well, but I don't think I am THAT blind... OK, never mind.)

    Update 2: from confirmation e-mail (nice feature it contains link for english version, yes I am able to use translators, but this was nice): "Your Amazon Prime membership was cancelled at your request. Since you did not use any of your Prime membership benefits, you will receive a refund of your full membership fee of EUR 49." So, all good. :-)

    yeah, i'm not sure how it works anywhere in europe, but in the US, amazon prime gives you access to a streaming music library, a streaming video library (including amazon's original content like Orphan Black), and free two-day shipping on anything that's prime-eligible. my wife and i have it because we watch everything online AND we order a ton of stuff from amazon.

    That's certainly true but if I stopped taking this thing my body doesn't make, I would die.

    did your body become adjusted? or your body rejected it? how long have you been on this med? is it new and you're a test subject? you're slightly cryptic, which is fine (your business is yours,) but it's apparent that you're on something which indicates immounosuppression or hormones. though the body produces a million chemicals, i could be wrong.

    what are the side affects?

    He was just saying what "pisses him off" (in the "pisses me off" thread). I don't think he is asking for advice, though?

    Tolerance, and the immune system.

    Also, severity of illness. Most illnesses "flare up" and can break through the drugs. Or just worsen generally, negating a drug's use.

    Modern day parents and their refusal to discipline their children.

    If your child is screaming at the top of their lungs and throws a fit in the middle of a public place, your job isn't to ignore them or politely ask them to be quiet. Your job is to teach them how to behave in public, and if that means dragging them out of the store, spanking them, grounding them, (hell, even time out works), or taking something away like television or something else they enjoy, then so be it. You are legally required to mold that little shit into a respectable member of society for the first eighteen years of their life. No one wants to hear your offspring get louder and more belligerent by the second because they can't have a candy bar while waiting in line at the grocery store. Doing nothing or addressing the child like he's a rational human being who isn't shouting at the top of their lungs makes you an idiot and a piss poor parent.

    The fact this passive behavior is common place now with this new batch of parents with babies, toddlers, and kids, even teenagers, is sickening.

    bocarrhea?

    a mix of spanish and latin! (or is it greek?)

    internet drama really is sub human shit. funny thing: if it's easy to run your mouth in an anon fashion, it should be easy to own up to your vitriol, but somehow that's never the case. so fuck them.

    how about this ?

    Facebook created an account under my wife's maiden name and added a bunch of friends from here REAL account.

    It didn't send us friend requests....it just did it automatically.

    It spits out advertising in broken english and you can't unfriend it.

    And facebook is so massive that, even though we flag it every day, they don't do anything about it.

    How's THAT one for subhuman , @Idopa . It's robotic!

    it appears to be gone now, thank god.

    we had never seen anything like it, but it HAD to have been some kind of advertising bot thing.

    i've never heard of anything like it.

    It just appeared one day, and we both got notifications saying that IT had accepted friend requests from US.u
    And the same thing happened to about 20 of our other friends.

    Like i said, you couldn't unfriend it.

    I'm REALLY happy that facebook actually did something about it.

    this one was even trickier @allegro , because it added us AUTOMATICALLY. there WERE no real friend requests.

    For instance, i got a notification that Florien Hamsnack had accepted MY friend request. Of course, i had never sent a friend request.
    So it was even more insidious!

    Thank you for finding that info

    Ends up that is not hard, either. Apps can send out friend requests on your behalf; in fact, a rogue app could have started the whole thing.

    Dude, this is why I hate Facebook. It's a cesspool, you have to be REALLY careful to lock down everything in Security, don't allow any tagging, don't install any apps, etc.

    See it makes sense now.
    My wife plays a lot of those facebook games to try to stimulate her mind ever since it got fucked off from the meningitis.
    And so she has installed a LOT of them.
    That's probably exactly how this happened. Luckily, enough of us flagged it to get it taken down.
