I figured him out fast.

I figured him out fast.

First time ever at a high-limit table at the Bellagio Las Vegas. I sit down, dealer suddenly acts like I’m invisible. Seconds later I feel breath on the back of my neck. Two security guys inform me I’m done playing.

He never looks up. Doesn’t speak. Doesn’t have to.

As a wannabe “dead head” back in those days (2001 Billboard Music Awards), I only vaguely knew who Jay-Z even was, so when my nearby friends explained my obvious fumble was tantamount to violating some invisible celebrity force field, I walked away thinking how pitiful it was… I mean, if your status requires clearing a blackjack table of nobodies, that’s really just insecurity with a budget, not “presence”

Facebook (now Meta) is quite literally the embodiment of 1984

I posted a Simpsons GIF comment from their own library (which is probably scraped from Tumblr) that was relative to someone’s comment on my own post on “my” timeline… and I got this creepy system response a few seconds later.

Facebook gives a tool where the group owner can click “Invite” for each friend but then restricts the account if it is used too liberally!?

Or maybe it’s the topic of the group… so popular, it needs censorship apparently.

Considering the fact that I’m trying to initiate FB Live and you’re popping this shit up on me in the process, I’m gonna have to strongly disagree! What else could I do here?

Major Facebook “Memories” fail here. My daughter, who is in these photos as a toddler, was not born until 2013. But the “memory” is supposedly from 2011.

Here’s an error I’ve never seen! I posted Virginia vanity plate OBLA-DEE on my FB @plateshow page, https://m.facebook.com/plateshow/

Sometimes when I post vanity plates there, I type whatever the plate reads after an “@“ symbol to attract others who may be interested to my site. I think it’s called social networking.

Anyway, @obladi (on FB) turns out to be an active page for a coffee shop in France.

https://m.facebook.com/ObLaDiParis/

I decided to save/like/follow the page and got this strange (see red error message in screenshot) “Unknown FeedUnit Type: PagesYouMayLikeFeedUnit” message. Based on the nomenclature, I’m guessing this is some kind of bad database behavior.

When you post to a “group” on Facebook, Ireland gets the first call!

I post links on one of my web sites to a private, moderated, local group a lot. This trail of servers is what I see hitting the link instantly before the group moderator ever gets a chance to see the post.

Are server farms cheaper in Ireland or something? Oh, and it’s a Microsoft “Edge” setup over there… and what’s up with the iOS hits from Facebook in Menlo Park? Are they running iOS on a server or is someone actually sitting there with an iPhone, checking my post!?
