He's left Nickelodeon but neither him nor anybody tied to Nickelodeon has said a word about the rumors of his inappropriate behavior one way or another. It's not just a 4chan meme any more either since I've seen major news pundits bring up the rumors.

I know it's wrong to raise and slaughter them so brutally. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with eating meat if the animal is raised properly and killed humanely. That said, I eat it anyway because I like it. I try to buy meat that wasn't so cruelly raised.

If you don't buy it, then they stop producing it. If fewer people bought it, they'd make less of it. If everybody stopped buying it, they wouldn't make any of it.

This also means that even if YOU personally don't use Messenger, Facebook still has logs of calls you have made to anybody who DOES have Messenger on their android phone. As well as texts.

For every phone call you've made to somebody with Messenger on their android phone, Facebook knows

when the call was made
how long it lasted
whether it was picked up by them/how many times you tried calling
That it came from you
Your name and whatever other info that person wrote for you in their contacts
Maybe more--I wonder if they get access to photos people use for you in their contacts

And they also know every time you sent a text to that person.

So even if you don't use Messenger or even if you don't use facebook, they can still know who you're calling and texting, and how often, and what your name and phone number are.

Read the twitter thread

This is just some random guy who decided to download an archive of the data Facebook had accrued on him. They have records of all of his phone calls, including who they were with, when they were, and how long they lasted. As well as incoming phone calls he missed, and who they were from. He didn't make these calls using a facebook app, either.

I'm downloading mine to see what they have for me. Apparently they collect this data if you use Messenger on an android phone (which I don't but I'm curious what they have).

Facebook says it's something you opt into when you use Messenger. But I don't think anybody really knew they were storing all this until now. Even without the call audio and texts content, you can still learn some big secrets from looking at who calls whom, and for how long. For some people that data could contain very sensitive secrets.

---------

"It's very unusual for apps to collect call log data, since the vast majority of them have no clear purpose in doing so," said Jason Hong, an associate professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, who studies app privacy.

He said Facebook may have been doing it to help with "friend recommendations" or to better calculate which friends should appear in your feed.

The customer service is fucking awful. Also to say it's $6.95 per month is deceptive. It's more like $90 a year, because that's how much they make you pay. It's not a monthly thing. And there's a $5 extra "because we feel like it" "activation fee" that they separate from the rest of the price so that they can claim it's $6.95 a month instead of $7.50

It does work, but I've never recommended it to anybody just because their CS is sooooo bad.

There are some really great songs in BOTW but the thing is, most of them are only heard once for a minute or so, and you spend the other 96% of the game in an overworld with ambient piano coming in and out. There are a few tracks with strong simple melodies that become earworms like the ocarina songs in OoT, like Kass's theme, but I think most of the soundtrack's best songs are a different style.

To say it has no good tracks is just wrong.

Example of a beautiful theme you only hear once:


The divine beasts have lovely music that ramps up as you activate more beacons:

That's 90% water weight. The same thing happens to me in the first few days of cutting/bulking. It used to scare me to suddenly gain/lose 8-11 pounds in a few days, but now I know it's not muscle or fat, it's just water.

You are quite obese, so at first you should be okay losing weight more quickly than most, but not 900 calories a day. 2 pounds a week should work at first, but 900 calories a day is still too little IMO.

It reminds me of my dumbass brother who fattened up to 200 pounds last year and then ate 500 calories a day in January-february to lose 40 pounds really quickly. He got a bad skin rash and it affected his mood. Good thing I don't live with him any more

5.5 is average unless your scale included 0. If it had 0, then 5 would be smack in the middle.

The reason 7 feels like a rating for an average game is that we already have filtered out the shovelware crap that lands on the lower half of the scale. Sites like IGN don't review games like Wreck-it Ralph for Nintendo DS, because we already know it's like a 2/10. For the most part, the games that are reviewed in games are generally at least 5/10.

I would buy a house in Rio Grande, Argentina. And another house in Anchorage, Alaska. Since the only body of water is the Panama Canal, the Monster would have to walk the entire length of the Americas, which is 14,663kms (as a straight line, doesn't take in to account winding mountain roads). Which at normal walking speed would take the Monster just over 203 days to complete. Hopping back and forth once a year, this would be a feasible way to live.

No. It would just teleport across the Pacific ocean and you'd be dead for misreading the original post, which says it goes in a straight line toward you and teleports across bodies of water.

In fact, if it goes in a straight line toward you, it would just bore its way through the earth. But I'm guessing OP meant on the surface of the earth.

I'm not implying that the Switch is the best console; just that I'd like to see a trend towards mobile architecture in consoles whenever it becomes feasible to do so without compromising game quality.

I'm gonna take it a step further and say that I actually DO think Switch is the best console. I've played all the consoles back to the Gamecube/Xbox/PS2 generation. It has the best console design ever, and if it continues to pump out games like it has been so far then it'll cement its status as far as I'm concerned.

Its biggest problem IMO is its poor online infrastructure, but that hasn't bothered me so far and I think it will be updated this year to be improved.
