Does Facebook suck or do your "friends"?

Max @hawkida (51) • London, England 13 Mar 16

I can understand why people might not want to use Facebook. There are legitimate privacy concerns, the site can be a massive distraction, things change and users can feel they aren't listened to... All kinds of problems like this...

Max Forced to sign up? Who made you? Or did you feel that it would be beneficial and choose to sign up of your own accord? Plenty of people don't like Facebook, but they can choose not to interact. If they do join, the content they see if largely controlled by...

Not Too Much Action Here These Days

Marlina @marlina (154129) • Canada 3 Feb 16

Is it my perception only or is it slow these days on Mylot? I was hoping that with the demise of BB and PP, things would move faster here and we could have more content to read and comment on. It is difficult to keep interest...

How to get better ads on MyLot

The Horse @TheHorse (222538) • Walnut Creek, California 12 Jan 16

Like everyone, I'm tired of seeing ads for "miracle foods that will help me lose weight," "Hot Asian brides waiting for me," and "Celebrities that got fat. #17 blew us away." I discovered a simple way to get more interesting ads...

Max The problem with ads like that are they keep following you after you already purchased the item in question. Still better than the default rubbish though!

Do you need a headphone socket?

Max @hawkida (51) • London, England 6 Jan 16

Years ago someone in my office got a new mac. It didn't have a floppy disk drive and we wondered how he would cope as we couldn't easily put things on CDs for him. He coped fine. It was the time that email surged and we shared...

Max I never heard of a casserole with pasta in it! That's certainly not what people make in the UK when they talk about casserole.

Max I already have an iphone, but many other phones are catching up now. I think Apple need to release a new version or upgrade the software again if they want to keep the stronghold they currently have.

Max Make the most of what you have learned, make it stand out on your resume. Look for work in places where you can learn more. Alteratively, find work that won't teach you and use your wages to pay for extra training. Yet another option is to study at home and...

Are you afraid of donating blood

sreejithsreenivas @sreejithsreenivas (10200) • India 25 Jun 08

I think majority of people are afraid of donating their blood because of some misguided facts.It is our responsibility to aware people about the positives of donating blood,so that we can save precious life.

4 responses

Max I give blood. I don't like the part where they stab my finger to test my iron levels, or having the needle inserted but I think it's an important contribution to make to society. I'm an organ donor too - when I'm dead they can tear me up for spare parts.

Max I think they're great dogs. They can be trained to be aggressive and are often used as guard dogs in this capacity but they can also be very loving and loyal dogs. I used to babysit for a family that had a german shepherd and it would play really well with me...

Max It sounds like you're both drawn to each other and you have the opportunity. Do you think the same problems you faced before will happen again? If not, then go for it. But tread carefully - have you changed that much since you broke up? Are you just getting...

Max Apart from baking, the only thing I've used baking soda for is to help clean the carpet - when I moved in the previous owners had had dogs and they'd obviously had a few accidents on the staircase. Putting down baking soda for a few hours and then vacuuming it...
