Do people who are not celebrities also commonly take naked pics of themselves? If so, what would they be for? 'Cause it has somehow never occurred to me that I should be doing this.
Quote: DrawingDeadSo my idiot tube is all aflutter with the breathless "news" that a bunch of celebrities have had their nude photographs of themselves ripped-off from their cloud storage accounts. Mmmmkay.

I have a crazy hypothesis that people who become actors might have a higher rate of narcissism than the general population, which probably explains why the photos were taken. While stealing and distributing the pictures was obviously a rotten thing to do, I'm sure they savor playing the role of the aggrieved. Sympathy is a whole new kind of attention that they usually don't get from the peasants.

Also People who get everything they want must get board and get into bizarre things for entertainment.
The foreman says "I urgently need labourers to dig foundations, I'll even consider even taking on teddy bears. What can you do?"
The teddy bear replies "I can swing a pick as good as the next man"
OK says the foreman, go grab a pick from the stores and start digging.
After 4 hours digging the teddy bear goes for a break and comes back after 30 minutes to find his pick as been stolen.
He reports this to the foreman who tells him to get another from the stores and resume digging.
After another 4 hours digging the teddy bear takes another break only to find his pick missing once again.
He again reports this to the foreman who says "Just a minute while I check the date, ah I thought so"
"Thought what" says the teddy bear"
The foreman replies "Don't you know, today's the day the teddy bears have their pick nicked"

No, you're not crazy. They do, especially women now under 40, as the standards have relaxed considerably.
OTOH, it's one thing to take the picture, nude or otherwise. It's another for someone to steal your image out of your private files and put it out on the internet for their own reasons. Not ok.
So there =p
If jokes were governed by sensitivity, there would be no jokes. Often it is the targeting that makes them funny.
Did you hear the one about the overly sensitive Pennsylvanian? He's Getting Worked up About Everything ;)
The next time someone jabs at me for my baldness and I am going to jab back about one of their deficiencies. Unfortunately I am fat, so they will have a jab right back.

As I understand it, the phone automatically sent images to icloud but owners rarely knew that. A deletion of the image from the phone did not delete it from icloud and Apple could have simply put in a second step on the deletion process.Quote: beachbumbabsOTOH, it's one thing to take the picture, nude or otherwise.

I heard that as well. I did also hear that Apple said late yesterday that their cloud storage was not compromised. I hope for their sake they're right.
I am proud to say that I have had my Facebook account about six years now and I have zero friends.

Ouch!!! If I had any friends, I would have them beat you up. :)

Based on comments I've heard from mostly woman there is something worse than baldness.
There are also woman attracted to bald men.
Quote: RigondeauxI guess because it's something that happens almost exclusively to adult men, who it is generally OK to make fun of. Also, it's not as bad as a disability or something, and it's right there for everyone to see unless you wear a hat. And, it almost never happens to you during childhood, so I think that adds to it. Like, if you know someone who has been fat their whole lives, most will be cautious making fun of them, but if you know someone who became fat in their thirties or forties, it's open season. Again, assuming it is a man.
Gee, a new use for a hat other than +++++++ in it !
I think $#¡+ is acceptable. Don't get stuck in a $#¡+ blizzard.Quote: BuzzardGee, a new use for a hat other than +++++++ in it !

I have shaved my head since I was in the 11th grade or so. One year in my mid 20s I decided it was time to actually grow hair. I let it grow for a few weeks and realized, ahh crap I have a bald spot. I said F it and have been shaving my head ever since. I have also worn a hat since I was a teenager. Some people think I wear one because I am bald but that has never been the case. I don't always wear one but often times I will.
I also find it sad that they can clone a person but they can not figure out how to stop baldness. There is a new technology that you can get implants and it looks completely real. It is expensive so I will not have it done but I am sure I would have lots of comments especially from friends and family.
funny, don't remember that. Maybe you wore a hat the whole time?

I probably had a hat on, but not during dinner. It is not a complete shave, more of a buzz cut.
Quote: DrawingDeadA while back one of the Caesars casinos offered to give you something (I forget what) if you befriended them on Facebook. So I did. And they automatically rejected me for the promo because I did not meet their minimum standards of having a certain number of Facebook "friends." "We regret to inform you that we are unable to accept your..." Seems it has to be something more than zero; maybe I am not a real person. Yes I am bragging.
lol. You should have replied, hey, I have no friends, because I spend all my time gambling. Are you sure you want to reject me?

Quote: RSGWAE, you said you shave your head since 11th grade. But earlier (I think it was you) say something about it being a health condition, or something like that, also saying something about science being able to fix baldness. Dafuq?
if it was someone else, then I apologize. I'm just confused ???
Baldness health condition? I don't think I said that, if I did I may have said people don't know if it is related to a health condition. I do have high blood pressure that I have mentioned on here before but that's all I gots.

This is about as weak as it gets. Mike, you light weight son of a bitch. How bout I put my boot in your ass. Thats what will happen if we ever meet face to face. I'll put a boot in your ass, dude. You asshole, don't ever show weakness like that in my presence. Put your foul mood on somebody else. If you ever attempt to put your foul mood on me again I will kick your ass on Main Street at High Noon.

Not sure if he is seriously pissed or if he was just trying to make himself a martyr for the sake of the Wiz's mental well being...
