I did it over a year ago. Used to be a fun page to follow, used to be, but, I did this one amazing thing to take care of that problem!
Whine like a baby, now with 500% more drama!

I checked Facebook for the first time since I hid Takei's posts. It's so liberating to not see five Knowable links on my feed. And my computer doesn't have to autoplay an inspiring video of Trigglypuff's fatter cousin competing in a 100-meter sprint with a queer, pregnant, biracial midget.
Huh. I just realized you can randomly arrange subjects and make a headline for inspiration porn videos. Like how Family Guy makes their cutaways.

I also found Facebook to be a lot more palatable with FB Purity installed and "likes" filtered out. Now I only have stuff in my feed that people actually post or comment on. Makes it a lot less of a slog to get through.
Have you hidden posts from the usual clickbait sites? That's probably why. Takei constantly links to them and if you are blocking, say, Distractify, then the link just won't show on your feed. Try visiting his actual page and it's bursting with clickbait.
My condolences.
I know, she's all like "Go Sens go"!
He still gets a secret service detail.
There was that one time I was trapped in my house for hours because Cheney was passing through. Went right in front of the house.

And thus Florida Man was born!
I hate trying to hit the moving target of Amazon prices. I bought a Lodge Dutch Oven for $50 because it was cheaper than the Tramotina one, even though it was half a quart larger. So I place my order, then Amazon shows an ad that has the Tramotina one for less.
Jeebus!

There'd be no problem if you shopped at stores that come to you.I was thinking of going up to Pittsburgh on my day off to check out a couple of stationery stores. Turns out that Obama will be attending Dan Rooney's funeral at about the same time. Very likely to cause havoc with my planned routes.
They don't protect former presidents to the extreme degree they protect sitting presidents, but it's more than just a single car and a body guard. A lot of it probably depends on the climate and threat level. However, for announced-in-advance visits the security is going to be much more pervasive than visits that are unpublished.
That said, most recent former presidents have large travelling staffs, personal assistants, organization heads (charities, their library, etc), advisers, etc. The motorcode isn't so much about bringing the president or former president to an event as it is about bringing them and all their retinue. Former presidents have nearly as large a travelling staff as sitting presidents, and they still get similar guard service, so street closures, local police escort, etc are still expected for official visits and travels.
They get free flights on USAF planes, but this is usually reserved for official business as well, and many choose private jets anyway.
Further, they still receive briefings on governmental goings on, and are sometimes asked to weigh in on matters of national security.
They can and do take commercial flights for leisure purposes, they board last, seat in front, and debark first with their service detail.

WHY are you rating that post "Love it?!" This is not a "love it" situation, it's swarms of bugs fucking (literally fucking) everywhere, in the air, on your house, on your car, in your hair, EVERYWHERE is sex for these!
And the worst thing of all is their acidic body chemistry, which means if you splat lovebugs on the highway you have to get a car wash RIGHT NOW or the goop hardens and basically takes your paint off with it.
I mean, granted, if my adult lifespan was 3-5 days, I'd spend all of it fucking, too, but I'd at least do it indoors and in private!

Why would you need to ask why I'm giving the "love it!" rating to lovebugs making love?
Also, while I've got your attention, is it possible to set up the ratings system so I can rate @Celt Z's rating with a brofist?[DOUBLEPOST=1492546291,1492546154][/DOUBLEPOST]And @blotsfan's.
And @Bubble181's.
Gets free orgy all up in his face, complains. There's no pleasing some people!WHY are you rating that post "Love it?!" This is not a "love it" situation, it's swarms of bugs fucking (literally fucking) everywhere, in the air, on your house, on your car, in your hair, EVERYWHERE is sex for these!

And the state troopers are JUST the type of asshole to pull you over because the lovebug splatter renders your front license plate unreadable.

Texas is, indeed, a front-plate-required state. Got pulled over for it once.
My husband has been out of town most of this month and will be for the rest of the month. It's mostly fine, but since I now have to bring my daughter to school in the morning, I noticed my overall stress level is way higher. This is because it's a huge struggle later to get my son ready for school and out to the bus in time because he has started developing some worrying OCD/repetitive behaviors that make just going to the bathroom and getting dressed take a very long time. Usually I can climb back into bed after he gets on the bus and being able to do that helps with de-stressing, but now I have to stay up and make sure my daughter is getting out the door on time too.
So my stress levels are up, and school for my son is getting worse and worse because all of these repetitive behaviors are showing up at school. He also has taken to preferring to sit on the floor, and his teachers have a real problem with it. So he's starting to hurt himself as punishment for not following their rules because for some reason he's decided that he can't sit in chairs.
Oh, and I have to deal with getting my car fixed from that accident a couple of weeks ago this week, schedule a tow from my house etc, and hopefully my husband is back BEFORE it's done, because picking it up when it's done is going to be very tricky otherwise.
