I have friends and family in the military -- they definitely know about the suicide problem and are trying to solve it through training programs for supervisors, seminars, etc, but that's not stopping it from escalating. I know a lot of people enlist because they see it as a way up in the world, as just a job, but the idea that we can't give proper emotional support to people we pay to defend us is really distressing. Sort of underscores how we should be having a national conversation about mental health, especially in light of the Sandy Hook shootings...
This should exist for tags too. That way if a #memes tag became prevalent we could ignore all of it, like unsubscribing from a subreddit.
Facebook is actually incredibly useful to me, the Events feature in particular. It's how I find out about a lot of happenings. I don't use it to post photos a lot. FB chat helps me keep in touch with people I might not think of keeping in touch with otherwise. However, my news feed is very filtered, because I have too many friends. I don't tweet, I've always found it annoying, and reddit was just as good for keeping track of news with (sometimes) better discussion. reddit is for killing time with funny things, interesting things, some news, and occasionally good discussions. With the value of reddit's content decreasing (which I know is why a lot of us are here), I get that post-redditing depression more and more.
The new iMacs have probably my favorite design that Apple's ever done. Unless you look at them from an extreme side angle, all you see is the screen. The back has a contour on it so that the edge of the screen obfuscates the rest of the computer. The Apple site shows off the effect - it's really beautiful.
First year at the University of Virginia - wahoowa! I absolutely love it. Not sure about my major yet but psych or cogsci are sounding interesting.
