Not annoying at all...

I'm not sure how you think a person's political leanings are even a little relevant to this discussion.

I just sent a push to BitBucket, and it seemed to be taking a while, so I figures I'd just grab a quick headline here, and the top story is BitBucket being down. So my timing is good?

They aren't, sovereignty is only a concept when each nation is capable of independence through economic, resource, and most importantly military. Since America spends more money on military than the next 9 largest spenders combined, America doesn't have to respect sovereignty. America's goal is to feed it's consumption, and ensure that nothing threatens the way of life for the wealthy at the cost of other nations. It frustrates me to no end because although I really hate this as a concept and practice, I really enjoy being given the opportunities that that this enables.

I'm curious as to the definitions. Before I turned it off, I would see little notifications. I'd click them, and delete, or block someone. Is that active?

I'm going to be honest, until TechCrunch's article, I had thought that Google+ was already done. I haven't heard a single compelling reason to use it outside hangouts, but hangouts is not Google+. So as much as I hate to agree with TechCrunch, they see the writing on the wall.

There are many things that you read that are neither enjoyable, nor easy to understand. Especially at a cursory read. That doesn't make the word less appropriate, nor does it make the word explore any more appropriate. I don't explore a quantum physics textbook, nor do I explore a journal article on tubulins. I read, I jot down notes, and I read some more.
