RE: Why do so many people mention that....

I suspect the majority of CSer's are on their phones.




I think Ebay crossed the 50% of users being on mobile a couple years ago.

If saying "Siri", "OK google", "Alexa"....

I make some privacy for convenience trade offs, but I'm not on board with the always on microphones either Molly.

If saying "Siri", "OK google", "Alexa"....

...causes your device to take an action, that means your microphone had to be on and listening for the command.

What other words or phrases trigger your device to take an action?


I often hear people lamenting that someone else, such as law enforcement, might turn on their microphone and listen in, but what if your always on microphone is listening for keywords and phrases you're not aware of? If it's not yet, it will be.


Imagine pushing out two advertisements into two different markets and listening for which one increases the mention of your brand name more. That's valuable information. I think I read somewhere that some smart TV manufactures already claim ownership of the audio they record while listening for commands.

RE: Gender - how do you know?

There's no way to be sure, from just text.

Picture sharing can help, particularly if requests are involved.

Video chatting works too.

RE: Are you changing with the times ?

Can you imagine dying in your 80' the exact same person you were in your 20's?

Having learned nothing new to change how you think about or see things?


To be so in love with yourself, as to be unwilling to grow.


Some do it, and wear it like a badge.

Sincerely offended that many of us are not so nearly in love with them, too.

RE: HVM

Just a couple viewers a day Ali.


I probably view a couple profiles a month.

Those are mostly age, education, or religion checks on fellow posters.

RE: Two "Alpha's" in a relationship ...

I think it's possible for to people to be too alike to make a good couple.


If both people are keeping score, worried about who's really in charge, that relationship's going to suck unless they're both looking for a sparring partner.


Some people are into it, I wouldn't be happy.

RE: Woman makeing the first move

Crowd his space a little.

Touch his arm.

Walk closely with him, like you might on a date.

When handing him something, just squeeze his hand a bit.


Here's a pretty innocent one that doesn't tell me she's into me necessarily, but gives me permission to crowd her space a little and gauge her reaction if I'm interested in her.

Just a playful shoulder nudge or lean when you're walking.


Of these the most unmissable is the subtle hand squeeze with eye contact.

RE: Woman makeing the first move

Yes, but not from anyone I was interested in that was also close enough for me to take to dinner.


Offline it's happened with women I thought were only interested in friendships.

Sometimes we miss the signals.

RE: Woman makeing the first move

Yea, it doesn't bother me.

RE: I Hate Cancer

You got it.

hug

RE: Woman makeing the first move

On dating sites, most female profiles who make the fist move are scammers.


Here's the thing.

On a dating site, your profile is a needle, in a haystack sized pile of needles.

If someone's profile grabs your attention and you sit back hoping that one person will see something special in your profile, it's just probably not going to happen. It's a dating site profile. A bad a pic or three, and a collection a stats no one with an ounce a sense would bet a quarter on being truthful.

RE: Just have to ask this...

I've seen a story on her somewhere, but I don't remember where, and certainly couldn't have recalled her by name.

For some reason I I was imagining "dressed to the nines" as a more conservative upscale look, but I am admittedly well out of my element in such discussions. laugh



I found the other woman by googling "very old model", and looking at the image results.

I got a page full of old cars, and one white haired well put together model that had been in Vanity Fair and thought close enough to toss her out there.

RE: Just have to ask this...

Carmen Dell'Orefice ?

RE: the reason she left me is she found some else

If someone leaves you for someone else, they didn't really like you all that much.


In a short term relationship they may have been hanging around to see what develops

and decided to go a different way.



In a long term relationship they were just using you in some way, or something changed how they felt.




People rarely trade in someone they love for someone a little better looking or better off.

RE: UK Banks to freeze accounts of all illegal immigrants.

It's also a fabulous way to promote crime.


Make sure the immigrants all have to store their cash in their homes out of fear of seizure..

Then recruit local law enforcement as immigration enforcement adjuncts,

so criminals know the immigrants won't report the breakins.


Now the immigrants are left to their own devices for self defense.

Now you have real increased violence from the immigrant population...


If you make them a target, and take away their protection from local law enforcement bad things happen..


It's not incompetence.

It's intentional.

RE: If you could......

I'd exempt motorcycles from the drunk driving laws.

RE: Is there too much kindness on the forums?

I get why you'd like to make this about me, but the topic is your lie that grown people are putting soap into other grown people's mouths over a word, and your morally repugnant belief that it's some how appropriate to force something into someone else's mouth as a punishment.

That's just sick.

RE: Can't relate!!

I'm guilty of doing that(nitpicking language or even typos) sometimes when someone's pissed me off and I want to shut them down. I don't do it to make a point to win a debate though, by time I'm doing that it's not a conversation anymore, it's just combat.


Yea...it's not a nice thing to do. I agree.



Other times I defend people from the exact same sort of attack. dunno

RE: Can't relate!!

I think it's different with different people.


Sometimes I think it's self criticism turned outward.


I've noticed friends doing that.


They put someone down for doing exactly what they themselves do.

I have to bite my tongue to not ask if they're sure they're talking about someone else.

I can be pretty specific sometimes.

RE: THE Lonely Narcissist!!

The diagnosis of Narcissistic Personal Disorder is a matter of degree and impairment.

One criteria for the diagnosis is that the narcissism be acute enough to impair/limit someone's quality of life.


Which is to say...For there to be a diagnosis, it has to be a problem.




Many of these discussions use Narcissism and NPD interchangeably.

RE: Where are all the bad boys?

RE: Can you like someone if you want to change them?

I'll gladly stimulate a part of yours. grin

RE: Why am I so popular on the forums ?

Volume.


It's always been the key to responses.

Post frequently enough and even people who respond adversarially secretly appreciate the interruption to their boredom and loneliness.


You respond to people, people are more likely to address those with a history of responding to them.

The blogs are built on that premise alone. Most bloggers reply to every comment in their blogs.


Last is subject matter, you strive to be at least a little controversial.

It give folks something to comment on.



We've had full on trolls here(usually a regular poster's alternate profile) that posted and really existed herr, for that reason alone.



If you ever want to learn the right answer to a question here, it's better to post the wrong answer than to ask the question. People are more driven to tell you you're wrong than the are to help you. The same thing drives responses to may of your threads.
