Research: 44% of Facebook users will ‘never’ click sponsored ads by webibizin technology

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 1 point2 points ago

I agree. This is an incredibly risky buy, and I really think Facebook has peaked, or plateaued and people are already started to migrate away from using it. Not necessarily to G+, or Diaspora, but just away from using social media like they used to. Social media used to be an alternative to email, im, phone call, or talking in person. Now it's a business model and, to put simply, is not fun. My friends are fun. Sharing photos is fun. Talking to people is fun. Figuring out some tricky website to not abuse me and my information is not fun.

Moreover, people know they are being used, so the content they provide to Facebook is generally much worse. People are less open and willing to share their lives. Yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but by and large, the quality of content from my friends and family is dramatically different than it was 5 years ago. People just do not take socializing on facebook seriously anymore.

So I think it is a bit of a stretch for Facebook to think it really has the "grassroots" reach with their advertising campaigns. I think investors are about to get a big slap in the face.

Anyways, thanks for reading. /endrant

Skechers to pay $40M to settle government charges over claim that fitness shoes toned muscles by RedAnarchistin Fitness

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 12 points13 points ago

Exactly. I really can't believe the government is taking Sketchers to town for tricking people into getting more exercise, but turns a blind eye to Kellogs or General Mills when they say "Frosted Sugar Insulin Smacks are a part of a complete and healthy breakfast." Trick people into getting healthy? $30 Million Fine. Trick people into getting fat? $30 Million in your bank. ಠ_ಠ

Found this wood, thought it would make a cool TV Unit. by crackfoxxxin DIY

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 1 point2 points ago

I don't mean to be a grammer nazi, but your title is misleading.

You didn't find some wood.

If you "found some wood" that implies that you stumbled across some planks of drift wood along a riverbed.

You purchased some lumber. "Lumber" is the proper term for the structural timber, or raw material that is used for construction.

How do grown up men get enough sleep? by amysoldpussyin bodybuilding

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 0 points1 point ago

I had a friend in your position (attorney as well). He was able to fix his schedule by finding a gym close to his office, and did his training during his lunch hour. I mean, the gym was literally a 5 min walk from his office. So he'd walk over there, change, train for 45min-1hr, quick shower, back in his suit, back in his office, PWO meal at his desk. At most it was 30 min longer lunch, and then he could stay a little later at work if he needed. Just a thought. Good luck dude.

Especially when you're on the moon exploring, and suddenly the bright blue earth appears in the starry background. That was my "Holy shit this game is awesome" moment.

Cool Recipe! Can someone explain to me where the calories are coming from? Is it all protein?

Planning 8 weeks of travel/wandering. How do I protect my leangains progress? by foundingoin leangains

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 0 points1 point ago

I got a set of these about a year ago for ~ $80. You can make your own, and I have done that as well. The homemade variety is only about $20 cheaper after you buy the straps, and pvc piping (or whatever you use for handles.) And it's a bit of a pain in the ass to bake the pcv and shape it properly. At the end of the day, the handles are just not standard grip width, or as comfortable, or as tactile, or as strong as the real deal. The Rouge Rings I have are tough as nails and well worth the price IMO. They will last forever.

Either way, rings will get you strong as hell. My friends come over to my house and try to do dips, but struggle like crazy just doing one rep. It builds great stability and strength in your shoulders and core. I take them with me whenever I travel too. Most versatile, and best piece of equipment I own. I can't recommend them enough. And for those that think using rings is suffering from fuckarounditis, have you ever seen a gymnast with tiny arms?

My good ole kabar USMC with the sheaths. by Skrillex4everin knives

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 2 points3 points ago

Pardon my ignorance, but does USMC stand for "United States Marine Corps"? If so, is that knife issued by the marines? Thanks! And sorry for the dumb question.

How old is this stuff, and should I buy it? Those gloves are pretty badass by MattB43in hockey

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 0 points1 point ago

My shoe size is 13, but my skate size is 11. Barefoot. I think this is pretty standard practice. I think the rule of thumb is always go down at least 1.5 sizes from your shoe size.

Is sushi rice any good during cutting phase? by Amikusin bodybuilding

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 0 points1 point ago

sushi rice has a bit of sugar mixed w the rice.

This is incorrect. While sushi rice is almost entirely carbohydrate (and a little protein), there is essentially zero sugar. The carbohydrate is entirely a starch. If you want to get technical, yes a starch is a chain of glucose molecules bound by glycosidic bonds. But it is not like they take some rice and throw in some table sugar (sucrose) to sweeten the taste. It is pure starch.

Why do/did you smoke? by rhythm_rhythmin stopsmoking

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 2 points3 points ago

Thanks, hoping this doesn't last for more than a few weeks. Last time, I was in the hospital with 4 different IV's pumping antibiotics into my veins. Smoking gave left me with COPD. I smoked for 10 years, on and off. Mostly on. I was diagnosed with COPD while I was still smoking. The pneumonia is like the aftershocks. I'm only 28. I'm too young for this shit.

Why do/did you smoke? by rhythm_rhythmin stopsmoking

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 4 points5 points ago

Yea, I was once like you. I'm artistic in nature. I work in the arts. Went to art school, etc. I thought it was romantic as well. So let me just tell you, as I sit here typing this, I'm about to go to the hospital to get treated for my pneumonia from smoking. Believe me, there is nothing romantic about not being able to breathe. There is no freedom involved. It's slavery. And it's disgusting. Pure and simple. Stop kidding yourself.

The good thing about trying out a new program, is being able to breakthrough any plateaus you're currently up against. It helps to change things up, if for no other reason than to just increase your motivation level.

Watched LOTR extended edition with my gf and we realized this by cosmoskattenin funny

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 0 points1 point ago

Say what you want, but Frodo was the only one who had a strong enough character to carry the ring into Mt Doom without being completely corrupted by the power of the ring. Nobody else could get that far without succumbing to it's power. Strength of will is Frodo's power. Sam held the ring for about an hour and almost fell under it's curse. Nobody else could carry the ring that long.

What advice can you give to a teenager about to become an adult? by SleepyOtain Frugal

[–]A_SCHOOL_FOR_ANTS 1 point2 points ago

No way. There is plenty of time to get and build credit. 18 is an unacceptable age for most people. That's just asking for trouble. I wish I could go back to the 18yr old version of myself and cut up my own cards.
