So annoying!!
Yeah, 'cause Chrome sucks! You'd be better disabling it and installing either the AOSP browser or UC Browser, both of which can be found on the Google Play Store.

Stupidity and ignorance, that's what is on my mind!
This is the story: last week I sold a set of DVDs to a buyer in Brooklyn, New York, USA. I have been that specific for a very good reason: I am based in England, UK - Europe, if you like. In terms of DVDs, Europe is a completely different region from the Americas, which anybody who lives in either region would - or should - know.
Now, this buyer is an experienced eBayer, with over 2000 feedback comments, yet because HE was too stupid, lazy and/or ignorant to actually CHECK the details of the item before he bought it he is accusing ME of deception!
His complaint is that, because I did not specify in my listing details that the DVDs would NOT play outside of Europe, I gave misleading information! No matter that by the same token I did not specify that the set WOULD play in the USA or that they were region free, either. Nor, for that matter, did the guy contact me to clarify whether they would play in his machine. No, I'M the one in the wrong!
And you know what's really bloody stupid? eBay will side with him. They always do, no matter how wrong the buyer is; no matter how goddamn stupid, thick, ignorant, rude, insulting and/or threatening the buyer is eBay will side with them because that is what they do. So, I will lose another sale, be made to look stupid, effectively be branded a liar and a fraud all because some moron could not be bothered to ask one simple damn question!!!
According to eBay's policies, the buyer is in the right. You didn't describe the item properly, and because if this, the buyer thought that the DVD would play on his player. It wasn't stupid or ignorant of him, but stupid and ignorant of you, to expect people to just know how it works. eBay have very clear policies on how things are described, and if you looked at their terms and conditions, their community, or any other help pages, of which there are hundreds, you would realise just exactly how wrong you are. I am a business seller on eBay, and if I had described any of my items incorrectly, then I'd take that as a lesson, and learn from it. The buyer is right in this case, you are wrong. Deal with it.

What is on my mind? The abominable assassination of journalists and police officers in Paris today. Journalists and political cartoonists, satirists, doing their job, pointing out the absurdity of ALL extremist groups, of ALL stripes.
Pollice officers, doing their jobs, protecting the public safety and democratic and republican rights of those who had received death threats.
Cabu, Wolinksi, Charb, Tignous - four of the best, unflinching political cartoonists. Men of talent, humour and insight, gone. While they cannot speak again, their voices are not silenced, as they are remembered and their best work is being brought to the press even now.
Sickening, frightening, but not new, this attack on freedom of the press and information, this attack on the lives of those who speak up freely and without fear.
The killers? Poor, pathetic cowards, who only prove once again that the pen IS mightier than the sword, because they are so frightened of the pen and the role it serves as the tool for minds that will not bend to intimidation, threats, and violence.
Because they know that people have minds of their own, and are capable of assessing and refusing tyrany, in all its many guises.
That is what is on my mind, and what lies heavy on my heart tonight. My most sincere condolences go to the families and loved ones of those who have died today.
This world is a really scary place to live in at the moment. Everything feels as if it's ready to just erupt, with all the political and social conflicts going on. I know it's naive for me to say "I wish everyone could just get along", but I do. Those cowardly terrorists really piss me off. They even tried to claim that the bin lorry crash in Glasgow was their doing, when, in fact, it was just a tragic accident.
If ever there was a time to unite and be nice to one another, this would be it.

~*~ did I do it right??
Yes and no, AABBA is correct, the meter isn't spot on. If you go back a but in this thread, You'll find somethin I wrote about the rules for limericks.
But with a little effort, and forgive me for stealing your words:
When you finally do find your place
Show some real class and also some grace
Never tell any lies
And don't overly sigh
And remember to wash your sweet face
Thank you! I kinda see haha I will practice more but I am finding doing limericks fun(:
Listen to Paulus,

Stanzas are important,
so you understand the poem,
like paragraphs in prose.
That was one,
and so is this.
It can be a word
or a whole sentence,
even half
a sentence.
I made stanzas in this,
and it could easily be a mish-mash,
of lotsoflinesjumbledandsqueezedtogether
But stanzas are fun,
so give them a bash!

Dictionary. I like finding out what words mean and their etymology, so looking them up would help me find synonyms/antonyms purely from the meaning. It was always one of my favourite English exercises, when we were given a word to define then give synonyms and antonyms. It was a nice challenge, and got the old noggin working.
I'm going to pose the same one: Dictionary or thesaurus?

Analogue, vinyl has a better sound.
Do you prefer headphones or ear buds?
Finally, someone agrees with me!
Anyway... I like both, but for different purposes. For comfort about the house, I like headphones. I also find the quality to be better than earbuds, however, I do prefer earbuds for out and about. They're so much more convenient than a big bulky pair of headphones, and for outside, the quality is better. How that works, I don't know, but it does.
Swords or words?

That's something that scholars have tried to find out for millennia. Honestly, I think it's a bit of both. I don't know why, I don't know how, but it just is. And I think that's what love is. It isn't one thing in particular, it just is.

A guy from Glasgow, prefers limerick to haiku,
but what is he to do?
His haiku are often crap,
but his limericks are also pap.
Here's hoping people don't sue.
There once was a lad from Glasgow,
Who was sadly taken for a scarecrow,
Said he: not even in name,
Are we remotely the same,
A scarecrow's quite drear, but I glow.
That makes me giggle
It makes me giggle for two reasons: It's really funny. And there was this one guy who bullied me, and thought it funny to call me a scarecrow. I remember looking at him, with his straggly brown hair, his old, worn clothes and his freckled, blotchy face, thinking you poor thing, you look more like a scarecrow than me!
