This salted caramel applie pie from Four & Twenty Blackbirds is so insanely good. It will take a minute if you do everything from scratch but the technique isn't too difficult. I love it and it consistently gets raves when I make it.
This is the most thorough recipe I can find for it but there's plenty of other sites hosting it.

Anyone know a good way to download HD youtube videos? I used to have a lot of different browser add-ons that worked but now most of them force you to download some external software if you want HD + audio and I'd rather not do that.
So I am part of my neighborhoods "Real Housewife" Facebook page (ridiculous) and they posted an article from 1958 McCall's magazine. It is called 129 Ways to Get a Husband. Ladies, you need to read this bullshit.

This has me all riled up. Her parents are especially disgusting.
Ridiculous.
Wasn't there a story in the last few (5ish?) years about how some college athlete's are literally going to bed hungry because they can't work due to time constraints and have no money to care for themselves? It's crazy. The whole system needs to be re-evaluated imo, and cases like this show exactly why.

I could see the NCAA's concern, generally speaking, but this was a pretty drastic situation. On the plus side, they announced this afternoon that she could keep the donations and her eligibility!

i'm not sure if anyone else would be interested in something like this, but i was thinking about small business saturday coming up this weekend. do we have any place on here to compile a list of cool businesses/artists to support during the holidays or whenever else? we could share our favorite makers, small businesses, friends who create things, etc. for others to check out for gift ideas. i'd be willing to start a thread if anyone is actually into the idea.

I deactivated my Facebook and Twitter accounts yesterday. It's not some big deal for me since I really don't use either service that much.
I used Facebook quite a bit when it first started up, 90% because I enjoyed the humorous content people posted, 10% to keep up with people I didn't already interact with IRL. But overtime the content became... dumber? Like instead of discovering a funny video from Megan Amram about hormone pills mixed with yogurt it was webcam videos of people dancing and then falling over and hurting themselves.
Similarly I used twitter a good bit in it's hey day, again mostly for humorous content, when stand ups and other comedians started using it frequently. Twitter seems to be more about angry reactions now, it's become less enjoyable and less informative. Comedians are saving their best stuff for their specials/writing etc (as they should), and for news I'd rather just go straight to NYT or WaPo or whatever and read and entire article rather than a headline or a brief blurb about the headline.
So this isn't some "i use social media too much and needed to quit" post, i'd kind of naturally moved away from FB and Twitter anyway, and I still browse reddit frequently for my humorous/interesting content needs, and instagram is still beneficial and unique for humorous content/keeping up with friends. I just want to see how life is without FB and twitter, what it's like to not even have the option.

I use Facebook messenger to talk to thejeremy during the day because it is more convenient for me since I am on a computer at work. I have a Twitter but it might as well not exist because I don't use it. I was a pretty heavy Facebook user at one point and realized that I was oversharing and cut back dramatically, but I don't know if I could actually deactivate my account. Let me know how it goes.

Social media is basically a job requirement for journalists at this point. You'd be surprised how many sources I get in contact with over FB.

As a "graphic designer/production manager/circulation manager" I use social media for work as well; but that is mostly updating for Where Traveler/Where New Orleans. I also can only get in touch with some B&B's through facebook. The thought process that people only need to advertise on social media right now is strong.

makes total sense.
for my work, other than work asking that we like or share their posts, i don't really use FB for much. occasionally i've used it to try and track down a client contact, but in the rare instances i need to do that Linkedin works better. and that is the only thing i used linkedin for.

I use LinkedIn for that as well. Hotel General Managers tend to keep that pretty updated and I am constantly hunting them down. What else is LinkedIn good for (besides a professional social media site for recruiters/etc. looking over a potential candidates)?
I would very much like to get off of Facebook completely, but tbh I find it rather invaluable for finding out about random events, and it's the only way that I keep in touch with some people that I do indeed want to remain in contact with. More than a few good opportunities have come my way via Facebook.
I mostly dislike it though because of the weird social pressure that comes with it. Like my mom LOOOVES to share those actually-uninspiring "inspirational" quotes about how she loves her kids, etc etc, and I feel obligated to give a like or a token "Love you too!" when in reality I find it quite annoying that she annually re-shares her Facebook "memories" that are someone else's words in the first place, and have already been shared in years past. I love my Mom to death but interacting with her on Facebook is a drag. I pick my battles though because she does it out of love and I'm not one to tell other people how to express that and I'm grateful to have a Mom who loves me, but still. And she habitually begins and ends sentences with ellipses and it makes everything seem passive aggressive or ominous.
And then birthdays are weird because I don't always check who's birthday it is so I don't say happy birthday to people I'd like to, so I worry about hurt feelings because some people really do care about that sorta thing, which is their prerogative of course, but bleh...I'd like to get rid of all of that dumb shit. It's a layer of social maneuvering that I don't need or care for.
That got a little ranty but yeah I have mixed feelings about Facebook. It doesn't help that some of my closest friends are spread throughout the country.

Also, I'm on Facebook and Twitter daily. Especially Twitter. (I've cultivated a pretty good echo chamber.)
Facebook helps to keep up with friends and relatives since we never do anything social and I'm sure as hell not gonna call someone.
Twitter is good for me for news and sports. I actually find a lot of funny stuff there still, too.
I'm on Instagram but have probably only posted a half dozen pictures, though never the same as ones on Facebook. I think it's lame to post the same thing to your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram feeds.
I'm also on LinkedIn but, as Vieux said, it may be mainly a hotel thing. I don't interact much in there. Mostly just keep an updated resume for potential employers.
So, in retrospect, I use social media sites for pretty much their exact expected purposes.
"You know where you are!? You're in the jungle, baby! You're gonna die!" Not the best first thing to hear at the grocery store when picking up your wife's medicine.

I have only been on facebook once this year, and it was to check a friend's birthday. I quit using it at the start of 2018 because I was tired of the political memes and just general garbage content. And the whole cambridge analytica stuff has just kept me away.
I did log into my twitter (that I never use) shortly after this and realized I'd been hacked by someone really, really into Asians in bikinis. "I" was following hundreds of Asian models and sketchy companies that featured Asian models in their advertising. And all "my" posts were in Chinese, and total nonsense according to Google translate. So I purged everything from my account, and only started following political and sports journalists I like, and scientists and science publications that are relevant to me. Sometimes it's nice to see other journalists and political figures' opinions on major news, especially from non traditional sources (e.g. Muslim and Hispanic outlets). It was great at first, but the network is slowly growing larger and more and more internet rage seeps in and I only really check it every couple days. Now that college football season is ending, I foresee a precipitous drop in activity.
But yeah, overall I'm kinda like you - I just lost interest overall in the platforms. Instagram is nice because I only follow my friends (and bands) so it's mostly photos I actually care about seeing. I'd suggest following Tycho - he was a graphic artist before he started making music so his insta is full of great photography, and he also does gear walkthroughs when he is making music/messing around and he chronicled building his studio in his apartment in Berkeley, which was really cool too see. And John Mayer actually has some pretty entertaining instagram stories - sometimes making music but mostly just silly, sarcastic vignettes into his life.

Decided to give "new music" a try. Saw The 1975 announce hangout, YTd them. Regret, that is four minutes I'll never get back. Try Again. Kept hearing how The National needs to play Bonnaroo. YTd them. They are not bad? or is it that I just listened to the 1975? help me out here.
