I hope not. It's how I get most of my news and follow sites. Feedly is my friend.

"We already require kids to be vaccinated before they can attend school."

No, not everywhere does anymore.

"I'm not sure why insuring them would increase or decrease their rates."

Because some people are very poor. My friend didn't get her flu shot because she couldn't afford the extra $50 this month. And that's a cheap vaccine that doesn't also require a doctor visit to go with. Some people have to worry more about today than tomorrow or they don't have food and rent money this month.

This seems silly. My company doesn't pay for food (chicago), we're right next to tons of options, but food is expensive. Most of us bring lunch from home. We live in the burbs and commute in. I don't see why workers would pay to eat out every day instead of bringing lunch. Maybe it's a SF thing that folks would be willing to waste that much money every day?

They skipped paying because they didn't want a small text link that advertises for the service they just used for free? I don't buy any of their excuses. It's not like they couldn't use the service at ALL.

Since they changed the timeline to the point where it's impossible for me to see things in reverse chronological order (even if I try to tell it to), I've unfollowed EVERYTHING, set up notifications for the few family members whose posts I don't want to miss, and mostly quit using it for anything but family. I'm so tired of all the ads and marketing crap. I was missing posts I cared about and just seeing crap every day. No thanks.

I was going to read this, but then it tried to force me to log in. No thanks.

It may be victim blaming, but having 3 months of work and it only exists on one hard drive on one computer isn't very bright. He learned the hard way. I mean honestly, disk drives fail. PCs break. The code should never be in only one place regardless. Also, coming from VSS to Git has been, and still is, one of the hardest things I do as a windows dev. I hate git. It is non-intuitive and I have accidentally deleted my work before also, the difference being that I have it stored else where to get it too.

Sorry to hear. You might find a lot more useful advice on Reddit, if you haven't already posted there.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I never had any desire to use G+. No one I knew was on it, so it certainly wasn't a FB competitor, and they then tried to FORCE me on it for some google services, which is guaranteed to just piss me off about it. Nothing there I can't get better elsewhere, as far as I know, and I never cared enough to find out.

"And to be honest, I would be too humiliated"

Oh, cry me a river. I put myself through school on retail. I am a programmer. If I lost this job, I'd be back to retail in a heartbeat while I worked to find a new IT job. I have a very hard time having sympathy for someone who goes on and on about how bad he has it while he's not willing to work a job that is "beneath" him. What classes are you taking? What are you doing to get more relevant? Github is free. Resources are free. Many classes are free. Get your StackOverflow on. Shit, I get offers from there frequently and all I have done is answer some questions.

Your kids are hungry because you're too good to get a job at a freaking grocery store??

Well, as a liberal, educated white chick who lives in an urban area, if I said someone was more into Duck Dynasty than SNL, it would absolutely be an insult. It would imply they are hick rednecks, and in a bad way.

If you can't be bothered to design for mobile web, I probably won't be bothered to download your app. I guess I'm not alone in that.
