Police: "Do not call us if Facebook is down for the count!"

-
Those of you who tried to check Facebook on your lunch hour were probably greeted with this message:
Apparently, some Facebook users were so broken up by the message, that they called 911 to report this "crime against humanity."
Officers in Los Angeles County, California took to Twitter and made this statement:
Facebook reps posted a statement saying that they were working on the issue and would update users "shortly."
The site was up and running one hour later.

Now, I love Facebook as much as the next person, but calling the cops to report an outage is just plain stupid. It is not that serious. Find something to do for Christ's sake! Go on Twitter, read a book, talk to someone face-to-face, call a family member, use your imagination!

This is what I did during the Facebook outage:
I ate lunch, read a few articles, did some writing, and got some fresh air. Did you guys know that there's a world outside those windows? Oh my fucking God it is so beautiful. It can be stupid too. When it's stupid, I mock the shit out of it, but that's besides the point.
Anyways, there is a lot of shit you can do if Facebook experiences an outage. There WAS LIFE before Facebook. I remember it. I could tell you all about it. *Don't be assholes and say Myspace.*
I'm talking about real socialization.

The whole point of all of this is: Don't be an asshole and bother the police with this shit. It's just a freaking website! 911 is for emergencies only!


The stupidity of those who bothered the police deserve the "Double Facepalm of the Day" award.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

-

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Why TNT did not air the season premiere of "The Last Ship."

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn...

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion....
