I did not read the article nor did I participate in the original post, but from what I am able to gathered, differing opinions were expressed that were somewhat touchy for those involved in the discussion. Not everyone is going to see eye to eye and agree on everything and that is what makes for a good discussion. What fun would that be if we all just buzzed along to the same tune and be nothing more than a part of the hive mind. What I find most appealing about Hubski is the diversity of opinions and experiences of the community, despite the fact that it is not nearly as big as the other social news sites. In many ways, it feels more diverse than both Digg and Reddit combined. Hubksi to me has been a great platform for me to discover news and ideas (a lot of which came from you) and to interact with a great community of intelligent individuals. I surely do hope that the "flame war central" comment was nothing more than words from a heat of the moment impulse. It will be a horrible thing if yet another platform with such great potential see its fire snuffed out.
Everything was going great a month into it. My sweet angel was taking great care of her Tamagotchi and I was doing the same with mine. Each night, we would talk for a couple of hours on the phone about the most important things and the most inconsequential nothings and compare notes on our digital pets. Everything was going perfectly. I was really getting to know her. The more I learned about her, the more infatuated I got with her. I found out how happy she was as a little girl in Vietnam living with her loving parents and her sweet grandparents. I also found out how scared she was when the soldiers came and destroyed just about everything that her family had. I learned of their perilous journey to Malaysia where she lived for two months. She told me of the beautiful sceneries by the beach during the day and the recurring helling nightmares at night during the whole two months there. Man, thinking about the Tamagotchi sure is depressing. I think I am going to read to get my mine off it.
mk, you're doing a fine job on the site. Besides the the columns experiment, all upgrades, major and minor, have added to the user experience. Kudos to the hubski team!! I am curious to see what hubski.com will evolve into during the course of the next year as new features and functionalities are added while growing the community. See you all next summer!! I am off on another one of my long adventures.
- I am not harmed by a person disagreeing with me, since to this day I've heard maybe two people earnestly tell me I was going to hell.
Unfortunately, people of faith who are in power are passing legislation that are heavily influenced by their beliefs.
I don't always post. When I do, it is to congratulate thenewgreen on what is sure to be a successful venture. Congratulations dear friend!
I really dig the picture. Kudos to whoever made it.
Work can be a ton of fun. You're on Hubski and being paid!! Can't be all that bad.
The fact that you took the time to make this post makes you pretty darn super in my eyes. People in general are quick to point out deficiencies and slow to give praise, myself included. Just ask mk about all my feature requests.
I will give up sex before I give up meat and cheese. If I am going to die from cancer for loving meat and cheese, so be it.
:p
You're not going to find it externally. You will have to find it from within. Start by setting simple measurable goals for yourself and accomplish them. In the past, I've set simple goals such as running a mile each day for a week. The next week, I would set a goal of doing 50 pushups each day on top of the mile. Next thing I knew, I was slowly starting to feel good about myself (physically and emotionally) and things starting snowballing, met the woman of my dreams, go married, made a baby, and so on and so forth...
http://hubski.com/pub?id=31893 The sexy way to learn Chinese. What is there not to like?
Yup. I am going to trust physical access to my house to a stranger. Right!
No need to join a gym. As long as you're motivated and dedicated, you can get an awesome workout without anything other than what you were born with. Body weight exercise can do wonders for you. Good luck!!
River (IIRC) is quite the artist!
This. Absolutely this. It is not just in manufacturing. China started banning import of waste products as well.
Once the San Francisco fog burns out, I am going to head out to Golden Gate Park and plant my ass on a grass patch and read Why People Believe Weird Things and try out Hometown Creamery. I doubt I will like it more than Marco Polo though.
IRC is great, but late joiners miss a lot of the interactions. How about setting up an official Hubski chat service that keeps history. Something like matrix. What does everyone think?
thenewgreen and mk, if you guys are still in SF, do yourselves a favor and go here for dinner. Thank me afterwards.
Woah!! White hair!
