Here's an interesting thought: who will be remembered 1000 years from now?

http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20171220-how-to-be-remembered-in-1000-years/

I'd say Adolf Hitler, for one. But not Donald Trump or Hillary.
Churchill (Adolf's arch enemy)? Maybe by the British, but.....

Elon Musk?
Carrot Top?

Kim Kardashian for frell's sake???

WE ARE MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Delivering HISTORIC TAX RELIEF for the American people with the magnificent #TaxCutsandJobsAct. 💸

But a moderator, or a small group of moderators, hates it. And administrators are letting mod-bombs stand. Letting another very unfair Spam mod stand. To silence my message. I'm sure they have passion for our great country. But they're being HATERS & LOSERS. They could become WINNERS like me. But they want to silence my terrific message instead. To make it so I can only tweet once a day, like they did to fakefuck39. Whose tweets start out with a very low Score. Making them hard to see. Hard to read. Very sad!

Let me tell you, this is a great, and VERY SPECIAL, moment for our great Country. The RIGHT TIME. Time to take care of our people, to rebuild our nation, and to fight for our great American workers. It's a whole different attitude, whole different way. We can all come together and be proud! We will all succeed & grow together as ONE TEAM, ONE PEOPLE, ONE FAMILY. With one leader. I made a promise to the American people: eventually, we will get something done. And WE GOT SOMETHING DONE, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. Our team will go onto many more VICTORIES! Because President Obama did such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations! pic.twitter.com/lLgATrCh5o pic.twitter.com/HY353gXV0R

Indonesia is the world's 4th most populous country, behind the United States.

It approves 4,000 jobs in Guam, for our H-2B workers to build tremendous, and much needed missile defense capabilities there. With $355 million to make our military INFRASTRUCTURE PERFECTO as we continue our campaign to create maximum pressure on the vile dictatorship in North Korea -- Little Rocket Man. 🚀 It upgrades our ground combat vehicles, allows for the purchase of new Joint Strike Fighter ✈ aircraft, and paves the way for beautiful, beautiful new Virginia Class submarines, the finest in the world. The NDAA increases the size of the American armed forces for the first time in seven years and it provides our military service members with their largest pay increase in eight years. 💰

Holiday Parties Gone Wrong: Careful Where You Hang The Mistletoe

*Holiday Party #WarOnChristmas

Went to McDonald's for lunch today (shopping at WallyWorld) and waited FOREVER!

It's not like they were that busy; they could take your money faster than anything. But then you waited...and waited...and waited.

I believe it is all to try to force people onto their app and kiosk: order it and it will be ready ahead of time: meanwhile, we'll lay off more people! Yay, we win!

My wife doesn't like the 'order kiosk': she doesn't like it taking away jobs, and I don't like the app idea (or McDonald's period). Even as a person of autism who doesn't care for interacting with people, I prefer talking to a person ( I can then hold THEM responsible for a screwup, lol).

We finally get our food and the order is wrong, so we have to go back up and get it done again.
Meanwhile, people have had their money taken from them quickly and are lining up to get their food and the line just keeps getting longer and longer and people are waiting longer and longer....

(I prefer A&W: better food, great rootbeer, much better fries.)

So my guess is that McDonald's is willing to take a short term kick up the ass and make their customers wait longer and longer in order to make them order THEIR way.
Me, I'd just rather wait at A&W.

Well, I sat down at a computer which I haven't used in a long time. More than a year? I'm really not sure when I last logged into Facebook with it. For some reason, I thought I'd click on Facebook. Firefox has my saved password, I should just click and be in. Ooops - I'm not in. It wants me to enter a password, or click the "forgot password" thingy. Well - actually, I didn't want on Facebook very badly. It's far to much trouble to go to my own computer, and retrieve the password. I remember now that I changed the password about a year ago, give or take a little.

NOTE: I did NOT click the button to ask for a new password or anything. I loaded the login page, entered an invalid password, and was redirected back to the login page. End of story - the page was then closed.

So, a few days later - not minutes later, or hours later, but DAYS later - I check my email, and Facefook is offering to log me in. Hmmmm? Fact is, I've logged in, from this computer, since then. I wanted to check up on a group of veterans, and checked their Facebook page.

From: Facebook

Guy, get back on Facebook with one click

Hi Guy,

It looks like you're having trouble logging into Facebook. Just click the button below and we'll log you in.

Get Back on Facebook

If you weren't trying to log in, let us know.
 

Now, I might understand this email, had I received it within a few minutes of the failed login. The system noticed that someone failed a login, and automatically generated an email - that seems like it might be a "feature". But, this email is days, almost a week, after the fact. WTF? Doesn't look like an automagic script thing to me. Worse, as I say, I DID log in, and check the page that I was interested in, then logged out. That probably should have turned off any automagic actions that the system was working on.

The email APPEARS TO BE from Facefook, but I'm sure as hell not clicking the link provided.

So, who thinks that I'm being phished, and who thinks that Facefook (or someone at Facefook) has chosen to give me some personal attentio? Shit looks weird to me!

Oh, before anyone asks, I'll decline to provide the actual email with identifying information. True, those identifiers are false, but I'd rather not associate them with this, or other accounts using this username, etc.

Isn't it fantastic that lightweight Senator Bob Corker, who helped President Obama give us the bad Iran Deal & couldn't get elected dog catcher in the Great State of Tennessee, is now on board with Tax Cuts! And so is Little Marco Rubio. So happy to hear that! It's FULL STEAM AHEAD for Tax Cuts & Jobs. Give me goddamned steam! Flaky Flake, get on. Chuck & Nancy, if you're reading this -- I think you're reading this -- I saved your seats. Don't let the Trump Train leave Tax Cut Junction without you......Goofy Elizabeth Warren, you too, let's see Pocahontas make peace with Big White Man Chief......bing bing, bong bong, bing bing bing.......You Dems have donors too. 🚂

Palihapitiya's initial remarks included the statement that Facebook "overwhelmingly does good in the world". Maybe that wasn't good enough for somezucky?

Former Facebook Exec Who Suggested Social Media Was Destroying Society: I Love Facebook

He's already rich. He can feed his kids. But can he protect them from the reach of Facebook?

Our thoughts and prayers are with Rebecca Johnson, brave widow of Dan Johnson, a true patriot & friend of Kentucky. Another victim of the purposely false and defamatory stories FABRICATED & put out by the Fake News Media. They are out of control - correct reporting means nothing to them. Major lies written, then forced to be withdrawn after they are exposed...a stain on America! They should be ashamed. "His fight will go on." We are with you! fxn.ws/2AmL7yI
