This morning- i changed my email (on the site) to a random email that i won't be able to remember, than i copied and pasted random letters in the "change password" field, changed my display name, removed my pic, and than clicked "save settings" than i clicked "log out".. now i have no way of getting back into my old blurtit account :) less

1. Obama’s nominee to chair the National Intelligence Council, Chas Freeman, withdrew over questions about payments from the Saudi Arabian government, business ties to the state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corp., and negative statements he made about U.S. support for Israel. After he resigned he issued a combative public statement blaming the “Israel lobby” for “character assassination.”

Adlai Stevenson didn't mind adding a little humour to his comments. Once when he was attacked by Protestant minister, Norman Vincent Peale, he said, "I find the apostle Paul appealing and the apostle Peale appalling."Lincoln didn't mind wordplay either and once wrote, "He said he was riding bass-ackwards on a jass-ack through a patton-crotch." (Work it out.)Some are quite rude and very funny but I can't post them here. Do YOU have some favourites? less

Overindulgence is labelled the second worst thing to do to kids because it doesn't prepare them for life. They grow up to expect special treatment like they're used to and can't cope when that doesn't happen. The absolute worst thing is abuse.
I got the opportunity to meet and shake hands with the mayor of my city. He was a very nice guy, even for a Democrat. ;) What interesting thing happened for you today?

But he's a petty, small human being -- a spoiled, rich, sniveling, whining brat of a man-child who throws a temper/tweet tantrum whenever he's even mildly criticized, let alone if someone actually says No to him. Trump appears to be a puppet, with Steve Bannon, the neo-Nazi counselor-to-the-president, and Putin, the homicidal maniac in Moscow, alternating in the role of puppet master.Trump's ignorance and arrogance, together with his immaturity and emotional instability come together in a reckless, dangerous man. less

Im gonna buy the pro version in the next few months when its released. i like the idea of having the tablet/android experience but with a full fledged browser rather than an android version that android devices have. can't wait to add a 3rd chromebook to my collection.

Because this term is uncommon and somewhat intimidating to people who don't know what epistemic means, Jack Pelham decided to re-brand epistemic rationality as Reality-Based Thinking, the idea being that people would get the general idea quickly, without the need for as much explanation. It employs a good-sense approach that works hard to get things right, so as to avoid the common pitfalls in thinking. Fortunately for us all, it’s not particularly complicated. Also, it’s not necessary to have a high IQ to be good at RBT.http://realitybasedthinking.org/what-is-reality-based-thinking-rbt/ less
