The "Original Poster" icon, indicating who is a thread's originator, is very helpful! :thumbsup:

Sorry - just noticed another thing! If a person has ever changed their username, there's a history of it that you can see if you visit their profile. If you go to my profile and click on the little "clock" icon next to my username at the top left, you'll see all the usernames I've had since...

I like the new format. :thumbsup:

I don't think this has been posted here yet - if it has, my apologies. This involves a shooting spree that was reportedly stopped before anyone got hurt, by someone who used her gun to stop the shooter. Now, I'm not a fan the idea of society turning into a revival of the Wild West - and I...

I'm posting this here even though I think at this point it no longer really qualifies as merely a conspiracy theory. But if any skeptics want to insist that it's just a conspiracy theory I would be most grateful because otherwise it's pretty darned unsettling. I want to be balanced about...

So there is a friend of one of my Facebook contacts whose profile does not have the option to add them as a friend when their profile is viewed on a desktop computer. However... When that same profile is viewed in the Facebook app on my phone, or in the mobile-version of the site on my...

This is purely anecdotal, but I'm wondering, based on my own experience over the past year, if taking allergy medications can actually reduce one's resistance to colds. Last year at this time I wasn't taking Claritin for allergies. I was able to go quite a while without any allergy...

This is one of those questions asked in an area of the forum where the very people being discussed (in this case, those of other faiths) have insufficient privileges to reply. So, I'm sharing it here where a more well-rounded treatment of the topic can take place, if anyone of another faith...

Recently, I discovered an amazing mini-program within a Chinese app called WeChat (similar to WhatsApp, I guess). The mini-program is called “You and Me When” or “You and Me” (你 我 当 年). The sharpening is automatic; all the user has to do is upload the image they want restored. It seems that...

Does anyone know if there is a stand-alone version of Facebook’s language translation tool, similar to Bing Translate and Google Translate? The reason I ask is that I’d like to know how Facebook is rendering what I say in other languages before actually posting it. I’ve got connections from...

Over in the General Theology forum, a thread was posted asking the question, "Why do people reject Jesus Christ?". I thought it would be helpful if this question was also presented in an area of the forum where those who have rejected Jesus (in whatever way that means to them) can actually...

"I’m what’s called a 'Closer' for the online-dating service ViDA (Virtual Dating Assistants). Men and women (though mostly men) from all over the world pay this company to outsource the labor and tedium of online dating. The matches I speak to on behalf of the Texan man and other clients have no...

I looked around and didn't see any recent threads about the weather, and, inspired by the rather dramatic conditions where I am at the moment, I thought I'd start a new one. In our area, we have a high wind warning (not just a 'wind advisory') through tonight, with Northwest winds 30 to 40 mph...

While there are =1']lots of hug threads here on CF, they are either really old, or are in sub-forums in which not everyone on CF is allowed to post, such as Singles-only, Women-only, etc. So, inspired by another thread lamenting what seems to be an overabundance of debate-themed exchanges...

"A White House aide said the reshuffle was not a demotion for Mr Bannon, who used to head up Breitbart News. The aide said Mr Bannon was only given a seat on the NSC to keep an eye on National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was fired in February." Article: Steve Bannon loses National...

I may not agree with everything she says, but I thought she was being very consistent in the position she took which subsequently got her suspended: "On Friday’s episode of ‘The View,’ she told the audience she was pro-choice. ‘I’m someone that’s for limited government. So I can’t sit here...

I'm sorry, but my first reaction was along the lines of "Oh, for the love of God...". It's beginning to look like this sort of thing is arranged more because it's the fad nowadays rather than out of any real conviction. While that may not be the intention, that is the impression, and it's...

Honestly, some folks seem to be watching too many old Westerns. That whole "get off mah land" mentality. Evolve, already! :doh: A partly masked white assailant opened fire around 8 p.m. (11 p.m. ET) Friday while the Sikh man was working on a car in his driveway in the Seattle suburb of Kent...

"It is a matter of Christian doctrine that God is neither male nor female; God is spirit. The Scriptures, however, use both male and female imagery to talk about God’s identity and activities. At the same time, it is also true that God incarnate was a Jewish male. This means Jesus used only male...

Well, this is a little encouraging. "... while Donald Trump bares [sic] much of the blame for this new 'normal' in America, he’s finally speaking out against it. During his first interview since winning the election, he told CBS’s '60 Minutes' that such incidents are 'horrible' and offered a...
