I uploaded a picture of my driver license with my finger covering my D.O.B. and address. They responded by deleting my account I was locked out of and did not want online any longer.


Imagine if the man viewed this while driving, crashed and died or killed others.


Then I'd have no sympathy for him and if he survived he should be put in jail for manslaughter, possibly even murder. The guy knows these devices do this to him yet continues to use them. If he's using these devices behind the wheel (or IMO at all) he's being irresponsible. He needs to take responsibility for his actions and stop blaming others. In other words, he's responsible for his own actions (using devices that can cause seizures) and their consequences (getting a seizure) like everyone else at all times.


LOL


Agreed. Not just a thief stealing from people for 27 years.


Not only misleading, but mildly offensive. He did not survive alone. Quite the opposite.


Let all the users in the world that are not tech savvy support the ad networks then. Ill use AdAway, Block-This.apk, pi-hole, and others.


It would seem logical to use a little to test the potency of a new batch especially. Unfortunately, as an ex user, when you're sick, you're going to do your usual shot or more. I've lost a few friends that were coming down to hard to care about a little to get well first. Big shot, dead.


That's the thing though, a difference of smaller than a grain of salt would be a death sentence.

So if you try a small sample, or a large one, it doesn't matter.. it could be the next hit you try has that extra microgram of fentanyl.

I have had friends with brothers who died from taking a all night study aid in university, that happened to have Carfentanyl in it.

Always caution on the side of safe regardless of what type of illicit drug is, or if it's your first time, once in a lifetime.

They just don't make illicit drugs like they use to... They could definately kill u always, but now the potency of a microgram difference can and that's pretty scary.

Actually, this has kind of always been true. http://everything2.com/title/Heroin%252C+MPTP%252C+and+the+k...

The problem is that an illegal drug has no quality control. If you want to stop this kind of stuff, legalizing it is one of the few (possibly only) useful solutions.


World Builder, wow, I have not seen that since I was a kid. Great memories, thanks!


William Appleton has an amazing body of work. World Builder, SuperCard, the core technologies behind the Cyberflix games.

Busy guy, very inspiring.


And who is to say whether or not someone has a Facebook account? 1 Billion FB users, 7 Billion people on earth (guessing, didn't look up numbers)

And what about criminals that know about this possible boarder check and will have dummy padded pro American social media accounts?


FB claims almost 1.9 billion users, with 1.7 billion active at least once a month. Still some way off everyone, but for the right demographic (between 20 and 40, lives in a city, in a country with communications infrastructure) it's not unreasonable to see not having a FB account as really unusual.


Only terrorists do not have a Facebook account!


It has taken me almost 8 years to cut Facebook from my life, mainly because I used to log on to tend to my business page. However, like you, I decided enough was enough and went cold turkey 2 weeks ago.

Now 2 weeks later, when FB crosses my mind I am actually happy and sometimes grin thinking of how much I've benefited from quitting it!
