I don't know if this is supposed to be satire or if this Michael Nunez (author) really had such shallow friends that the color of a message bubble can make or break friendships.

I read this last night and it seemed incredibly weird. I feel like I live in a different universe from some other people.

Given that the image source is fakephonetext.com I'm guessing this is fake.

That's not necessarily the case, Brandy Ellis. It's possible that an editor created the image from the author's account of his exchange.

Or used an image he found on the interwebz instead of a screenshot of his own or a friend's conversation. Remember, he as a Nexus not an iPhone, so he wouldn't be able to show the green bubbles from his own app.

Gizmodo​​ I'm not sure if it is a made up story, a paid article or a true story, but it clearly address an important issue. Extract of the story tells how people's vulnerabilities to sensitive matters in life are misused or how made up brand loyalty is making people slaves without right to choose what they want.
Anyway I wish the author all the best; wish him he get courage to build up his personality.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
