There seems to be some sort of confusion going on here so I'm posting this to clear it up. First off, thanks to all who have entered the Profile contest, it's really appreciated and just goes to show how vibrant and active our community has become. That being said, I'm noticing a lot - and I mean a lot - of entries that are nothing more than photos with the #MRProfile1002  hashtag. Perhaps I wasn't clear on the original post or perhaps some of you just assumed the Community's guiding rules were suspended for the duration of the contest, but I assure you they were not. Our rule about introducing your content to the rest of the Community is still in effect. That means you need to write something telling us about your photo/video/blog post, etc. See here: https://plus.google.com/+JasonON/posts/VDcR4snEoss About halfway down, in bold print, even.  So far I've been going through and leaving comments one-by-one on each person's entry photo and I have to say, wi

Congress is overrun with "kooks." Well, duh. Most of us saw this with the wave of Christian Conservatives in the early 2000s, thanks to Bush running a theological government.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Microsoft isn't collecting anything about you that Google, Yahoo, Apple - everyone - is already collecting about you and for much the same reasons. Want to use Cortana? Great. But you have to let Microsoft look at your search history and your emails, the same as Google Now does. Want better autocorrection? Cool. But you have to let Microsoft look at your keystrokes: just like Google, Apple and a gazillion keyboard Apps for Android. Want to use OneDrive, Office 360 or OneNote? Fantastic, but Microsoft needs to be able to read and write your files, which requires another permission. The way technology is these days it's hypocritical to condemn Microsoft for the same practices the other major players are operating under every single day. http://money.cnn.com/2015/09/28/technology/microsoft-windows-10-privacy/

Great read on Free Speech and America's love affair with Israel. Of particular interest is a senator's husband throwing around her name as his own power.

Fired up this app to see if it would be useful when trying to shoot the moon on Sunday and had an odd experience.

Fired up this app to see if it would be useful when trying to shoot the moon on Sunday and had an odd experience. My "north" and "south" were switched. Literally, when I faced north it would show me as facing south and vice versa. North Pole and South Pole were in the right place as were "east" and "west." Mostly. East was a little more south-by-southeast and west was a little more "west-by-northwest. Confused, I rebooted the phone thinking the accelerometer was stuck and had the same results. Changed location settings to "use everything you got" which did absolutely nothing. Downloaded another - similar - app (Space Junk) with the exact same readouts..  So, now I'm fairly certain it's not my phone. I ask my roommate, who has a Note 5, if she has the app and can she double check. She fires it up and ... the exact same results as I was getting. WTF? Did someone change astronomy while I was gone or did I just happen to forget

Passcodes are protected by the Constitution (now) because they're considered personal. Giving blood and fingerprints are not considered Constitutionally protected because the police need these things to properly do their jobs. That's right, the police don't need to arrest you, obtain a court order or even a get a warrant for your blood or DNA, but they do for your 4 digit passcodes. Originally shared by Emmaly Wilson Don't use fingerprints to lock your encrypted devices, such as smart phones.

Watched a TSA agent come back from the drinking fountain (getting a refill, I believe) and sit down at the wrong table.

Were you one of the millions of people who gave money to the Red Cross after the earthquake hit Haiti? Turns out, contrary to what the Red Cross is telling the public and donors, they've terribly mismanaged the funds and failed in almost every goal they set themselves. Heck, according to this article, they didn't even get close. Like many organizations it appears as though the head didn't know what the body was doing and both didn't seem to have the Haitian's best interests in mind with fraud, waste and padding subsidiary Red Cross groups being the focus of their spending. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/7511080

Of course, the real and fair solution is much less politically correct but effective.

Of course, the real and fair solution is much less politically correct but effective. It’s to stop trying to protect people’s feelings. Your feelings are your problem, not mine—and vice versa. I can't tell you how many times I've said this to people. Yes, it sounds rude and unsympathetic, but if we believe others are adults, then they're as responsible for their self as you are to yourself. Then we must believe they have to be responsible for their own emotions, as well. You don't feel outrage because someone made you, you feel outrage because you allow yourself to be outraged. Replace 'outrage' with any other emotion and the same holds true. For example, no one can make you love, you have to allow yourself to love. I love this article and what it explains to us. Partially because it echoes my own thoughts on the subject, especially politically correct outrage and socially pressurized censorship. With all our manufactured outrage we're creating a world of s

Has anyone ever heard of an app that records what's going on "inside" the phone? Please comment on David Bleecher's original post if you have and this post if you really want to comment on something but have nothing constructive to add to the discussion. ;) Originally shared by David “Dingo” Bleecher Does anyone have a recommended app for android that records internal audio (no mic or voice recording... just whatever is playing on the phone itself)? It used to be easy to just put a tape cassette into a boombox and record either what the other tape was playing, or whatever happened to be on the radio. But, with this incredibly complex and amazing little computer in my pocket, I can't seem to find something that I used to be able to do easily in the mid-80's. So, please, if you have an awesome internal audio recorder app, I will thank you profusely. :)

She then told me "America doesn't need people like me" and I could move to Mexico or somewhere else. So, I went to her Profile and typed "popcorn" on all her posts until she blocked me. Yes, it was a little fun. Yes, it was a waste of time. No, I'm not going to miss her. She was kind of an idiot. Sad part is, we were on the same side policy-wise, but she couldn't make a rational point. Nor was she very good with the written word. We all make the o

Yep.

Yep. I asked for a public defender once and was told I had to be indigent in order to qualify. When I told the judge I'd been unemployed for nearly two years and consequently lost my house (thanks, Bush) he said something along the lines of, but your clothes are clean . As though clean clothes meant I wasn't fucking broke. Originally shared by Ole Olson John Oliver exposes how handicapping Public Defenders causes horrific injustice in America The Miranda warning includes the right to a public defender. It doesn’t include the fact that public defenders are highly overworked and grossly underpaid. __ This is another element that contributes to the misery and suffering in America from having the worst incarceration rate in the entire world. Literally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USkEzLuzmZ4&feature=youtu.be

Okay.

Okay. I've seen this "meme" passed around a lot over the past week and I have issues with it's message. Specifically the part about Han Solo not believing in the Force. At no point in the original trilogy does Han Solo say or otherwise indicate that he does not believe in the Force. He calls the Jedi a "hokey religion" sure, but he never says he doesn't believe in the Force. He may not put faith in the Force, but that's his prerogative and in no way diminishes his belief in it.  Oh, and his job, the only one he was hired to do, was to get Kenobi and Luke to Alderaan, which he failed to do. Not his fault, of course, since Alderaan was destroyed before he could complete his contract. That doesn't mean he "still did the job he was paid to do." So, this meme is all kinds of wrong and stupid and people should stop sharing it immediately. Originally shared by Tina Vigilante

If the (American) federal government hadn't spent a decade getting secret warrants from secret judges without reasonable suspicion or filing charges then Apple, Google and others wouldn't have been pressured to encrypt data from government overreach. The FBI, et al , fails to understand that, had they just played by the rules regarding warrants and judicial review, they wouldn't be in the mess they're in now.

Don't want to do your job because you're a Christian and gays are icky means you're a conservative hero.

Don't want to do your job because you're a Christian and gays are icky means you're a conservative hero. Don't want to do your job because you're Muslim and, well, anything, and you're trying to impose Sharia law on Americans. Originally shared by Jeremy Nixon Kim Davis refused to do her job as a county clerk because she felt it violated her religious beliefs—and immediately became a right-wing folk hero. She was held in contempt of court and jailed, and conservatives see it as a war on Christianity. Perhaps you’ve wondered how those people would react if it were, say, a Muslim? Turns out you don’t have to wonder. Charee Stanley was a flight attendant, and refused to serve alcoholic beverages because she felt it violated her religious beliefs. She was suspended from her job by the airline. Cue the conservative outrage, right? I mean, surely she shouldn’t be forced to do something that goes against her religion just because it’s a fundamental part of her job, r
