I Don't Feed Trolls PINNEDIf you think that everyone here in SW or in any social media site are just people "passing the time", sharing their thoughts and having some fun, think again... Long gone are the days when internet trolls were simply bored, annoying teenage kids... See More »
Am I the only one here?I just scrolled down to see how old were the posts in my feed. The most recent post was from 19 hours ago, all others were between 20 hours and 1 day old. No wonder this place feels dead, it's like I'm alone in a room full of old magazines... I can... See More »
Anyone enjoying the eclipse? Poll (6) See Poll OptionsIt's cloudy here, not particularly dark... The eclipse should be halfway there, I'm looking forward to a bit of darkness in 20 minutes or so...
Just curious about how Brexiters feel about this WW2 posterLots of people who support Britain's exit from the EU are convinced that being part of a community of nations is a hindrance and not an advantage. Many feel nostalgia for the time when Britain "stood alone" in WW2 and see that period in history as... See More » (1)
FTLOG, bring back the sorting by TIME POSTED@Nuno PLEASE bring back the sorting of SW post by TIME posted. I know in theory this setting exists, but as we all know, IT DOESN'T WORK. It's so frustrating logging in and see that every post is from over 3 hours ago, typically way more (just now... See More » (1)
All my posts show as being posted 7h to 11h ago...Is it's just me? I've seen a handful of posts posted 1m - 2 m ago, but they promptly disappear once I refresh the feed and then only posts posted more than 7 hours ago show up... My settings are "most recent posts" first so I don't know what's going... See More »
How popular are you?Watched an episode of Bob's Burger today (spoiler ahead). Bob is going to a Burger Convention and is happy and excited to finally meet face-to-face the other members of the Burger Forum, ("my friends"). Yet, when he gets to the convention he finds... See More » (1)
Are the ioribix refugees still with us...?Or did they all left in disgust and disappointment...? I was looking forward to practice my Spanish.... Maybe they just blended in and became full-fledged sweeps...? I just haven't seen many new faces lately... I would have been interesting having... See More »
Loving the CBC Olympic coverage... 🇨🇦Not sure this time around, but in previous Olympics I've noticed that in the USA they barely show prime-time "summaries" of the Olympics and only show live events where the Americans have a shot at winning medals... Everything else is (was?)... See More »
don't know how to feel about this...OMG, my ex (we divorced over 20 years ago) is texting me saying how happy she was when we were together, how unique and special I was/am, etc... She's on a emotional roll... (she remarried soon after we divorced...) Says she wished to go back in... See More »
It's a bit of a pattern... [I Ramble]I could have given you so much happiness. But you thought I wasn't worth your time. Look at you now, crying in the dark, wondering how you got it so wrong. I wonder that too. It's too late now. No do-overs. Everybody lost. Pity.
Burned my finger while cooking. Advise to ease pain?I thoughtlessly grabbed the lid of a thing I was cooking in the oven (400F) and burned the index finger of my left hand and a little bit of my thumb too. Having my finger in ice cold water eases the pain completely, but almost as soon as I take my... See More »
Françoise Hardy 1966I like photos that capture not just a face or an image, but a whole feel. A snapshot of a moment that is capable to take us to a different place and time. (1)
Blue Lives MatterWhile Trump supporters mourn the death of the "patriot" Air Force veteran who was shot while committing a crime, they are all silent about the Capitol police officer killed by Trump supporters as he was performing his duty to upheld law and order.... See More »
He's having a mental breakdown... [I Like the Usa]I sincerely think that Trump will have to be escorted out of the White House in a straitjacket. I think he really believes his "alternative truths". Oh BTW, as per Fox News Biden has over 75 million votes (vs 70 million for Trump) 🇺🇸 (1)
Law and OrderThere is this attempt to pitch the Republican party as the “Law and Order Party”, with the implication that Democrats are all in favor of full-blown riots, anarchy and letting everyone out of jails. In fact, the choice is between two styles of “Law... See More »
So what happene with LittleEvilOne...?I logged to SW briefly earlier today and there was some drama going on, with LittleEvilOne saying something along the lines of "I'm going to do something and I'll get banned but I don't care". Now I see she was indeed "suspended" (?) and "the user is... See More »
I Hate Running Out Of Toilet PaperSo here's an interesting article explaining the toilet paper shortage. Makes perfect sense to me ("It isn’t really about hoarding") Summary: domestic toilet paper sold at grocery stores (meant for home use) is different (and made at different... See More »
I Have Something To Say About Coronavirus / Covid19I'm very envious of people who are "bored" with the lockout. Personally I'm entertaining myself thinking how life will change 2 months from now, when I'm no longer able to pay my bills... 🙃
Question for the straight or bi women here... Do you prefer: Poll (11) See Poll OptionsI always thought women preferred #1 but I read an article the other day and it got me thinking. It said: (Quote) So maybe I had it wrong (Full... See More »
I Have Something To Say About Coronavirus / Covid19Now that people are supposed to wear face masks, but nothing "medical grade", it's time for DIY stuff... I'm not into crafts, so I'm kind of shocked this turned out OK.. The fabric is from an old worn-out T-shirt I hadn't worn in years... (too bad I... See More » (1)
I Am Going to Say Something ControversialThere is a lot of complaining about governments "not being prepared" for the pandemic (not just the US, but the UK, Italy, Spain, etc.). But frankly, were WE prepared for the pandemic? Did WE have tons of hand sanitizer, face masks and toilet paper... See More »
I Am LonelyI like solitude, I live alone and I like my privacy. Yet, I can't deny feeling lonely now and then... These are excerpts (edited for clarity) of an interesting article by Jill Lepore (who quotes Vivek Murthy, John Cacioppo and others): "The History... See More »
I Am Tired Of The LiesI keep seeing posts that seem posted by bots... Lofty, predictable, obvious and ultimately pointless thoughts... Things like: - "I hate bullying, I don't think people should be bullied blah blah blah..." - "I think domestic violence is wrong blah... See More »
