    Ladywriter reacted to Khellendross in 53 Glenn Beck Fans Get Towed   
    The fans left the event held at the University of Central Florida only to find all their cars missing. Free parking signs were posted directing them to a Kappa Sigma fraternity parking lot where all 53 people later had their cars towed.

    Ladywriter got a reaction from Sledgstone in preserve an open Internet   
    Comcast, AT&T, and Verizon -- the most powerful broadband providers -- are trying to fundamentally change the way the Internet works. They're seeking to make even bigger profits by acting as gatekeepers over what we see and do online. If they succeed, the Internet would be more like radio and television: a few major corporations would control which voices are heard most easily, and it would be much harder for grassroots groups, individuals, and small businesses to compete with large corporations and well-funded special interests. The FCC wants to do the right thing and keep the Internet open, but the big providers have been attacking their efforts, with help from Black leaders who have financial ties to the industry. And a recent court ruling just made the FCC's job even tougher.[1] If the FCC is to preserve an open Internet, they will have to boldly assert their authority and press even harder. It's why they need to hear directly from everyday people about the importance of an open Internet, now.
    Will you join me in sending a message to the Federal Communications Commission supporting their effort to preserve an open Internet? It takes only a moment:

    Ladywriter reacted to Dubird in Health care passes   
    There is an exemption for that fine for low-income people. I seem to remember talk about expanding Medicare as well, which will cover a lot of that.
    While I don't agree with people being fined by the government if they can't afford insurance, I do have a feeling this will help bring down costs and be more benifical than harmful. There is no good solution that will help everyone, not as long as insurance companies and the higher-ups in the health care system are more concerned with making money than serving the public, which is what being a doctor is SUPPOSED to be. At this point, I'm actually glad the government is stepping in to try and help our health care system because the corporations that run it have more than proven they can't be trusted with it. I'm one of those how-ever-many millions of Americans that don't have insurance because I can't find one that I can afford. And the thing is, I'd be fine with just emergency and hospitalization coverage because, despite allergies and other things wrong, I'm healthy enough that unless I have an accident, I don't need constant care. I go to the doctor when I know I'm coming down with something and get it take care of before it gets bad. Yet, because I'm single and my employer can't afford to split the insurance costs, I can't find one for what I need under $100 a month. And I can't afford that. Plain and simple.

    ok, so little back story before i post the whole story: i wrote this for my creative writing class and it drove me crazy trying to think about it and get it done in time to hand in. It will be handed out to the class next week (i think) and they will go home and read it and it'll be work shopped in the class the following week, or after that. So this is not a finished polished thing yet. I kind of feel as if it were a little thrown together. but anyway, enough back story, here it is... (put it in spoiler tags for less scrolling if you already read it haha)

    Ladywriter got a reaction from slippers in Scientists Debunk 3-Second Memory Myth, Fish Can Remember for 5 Months   
    article

    Australian scientists have debunked the myth that fish have a three-second memory, they can actually recall information for up to five months.
    "Fish can remember prey types for months. They can learn to avoid predators after being attacked once and they retain this memory for several months. And carp that have been caught by fishers avoid hooks for at least a year," lead author Kevin Warburton said.
    The researchers at Charles Sturt University say that three-second rule is "absolute rubbish." No one is sure where they myth started but you needn't look any further than Finding Nemo to know it exists--not that I didn't love Ellen Degeneres' Dory.
    Researchers trained young fish to associate a sound with feeding time. Each time they played that particular sound…the fish would return. They found minnows to be at least as intelligent as rats.
    Fish not only remember, they can increase their food-catching skills and even carry out acts of deception. For example, cleaner fish in reef environments act on their best behavior when a larger feeder is nearby.
    Warburton said: "What's fascinating is that they co-operate more with clients when they are being observed by other potential clients. This improves their 'image' and their chances of attracting clients."

    Ladywriter reacted to Kite in Water damage.... rant   
    Cellular / mobile phone.
    where in that name does it say water proof,
    yes , rain is water, no where does it say they are designed to work in the rain, get it wet internally it cannot be repaired, and isn't in the warranty.
    there mobile, they work all around the world, and on the move, in the car, upside down, hell there pretty versatile,
    BUT there not designed for weather conditions,
    you got a problem with that, consult the manufacture
    phone nokia and say, hey you finnish mofo's. why is my phone broken after some light rain,
    dont moan at your air time provider.
    the amount of phones coming back from repair as water damage and customer moaning at me can fuck themselves
    saying; what am i going to do about it, they joined a 2 year contract and now no phone
    and im supposed to fix it how...
    well fucktard, every customer is offered insurance, don't pay don't expect a phone for stupidity
    a contract is for air time, a sim card that can receive and make calls with a number of minutes, text and data use.
    the phone is the medium to make use of this, however the phone is given for free for signing a long agreement with us.
    we are not replacing the phone, we are not obligated to, ill replace the sim card a 100times if needed for no charge,
    i don't give a shit if you refuse to pay your line rental, we will destroy your credit history to the stone age where you will be refused change from a vending machine.
    it is simple. pay insurance and we will replace the phone if it is broken, lost or stolen
    dont pay, why will we replace a phone
    FYI
    the average phone contract takes 9 months for a company to break even.
    30% if all revenue per sale is generally hardware cost alone.
    we make no money from insurance if you claim at least once. technically we lose money
    this is a general rant, i hate customers
    sorry for the rant, just blowing off steam in a healthy way,
    i still smile and be as friendly as i can to every customer ...
