  • Extensions are just suggestions to your OS on how to open the files.

  • I mean if you believe in God knowing everything and everything is happening because of his will, then that gives you the ability to rationalize everything, doesn’t it?

    Oh you have cancer? God gave it to you, if you didn’t deserve it he’d have cured it. Done, use that everywhere: poor, homeless, immigrant, race, sick, traffic, lightening, flood, airplane crash, school shooting, …

    That’s why blind faith is dangerous. And the idea of afterlife because they just do whatever now.







  • You can’t use phone calls or texting when your family lives in the other side of the globe. Many parents are not tech savvy for them to be able to use something else if you aren’t there to set it up. Lot’s of them got into Facebook, and their friends are there, and we need to be there for them to reach us. It’s the network effect.

    Also for many parents, internet = Facebook. They don’t even use emails, or any other services for that matter, maybe news websites that are bookmarked in their browser years ago by their children.
