Mr. Rogers was just an amazing human being. From a list about him: 6. He was genuinely curious about others. Mister Rogers was known as one of the toughest interviews because he'd often befriend reporters, asking them tons of questions, taking pictures of them, compiling an album for them at the end of their time together, and calling them after to check in on them and hear about their families. He wasn't concerned with himself, and genuinely loved hearing the life stories of others. And it wasn't just with reporters. Once, on a fancy trip up to a PBS exec's house, he heard the limo driver was going to wait outside for 2 hours, so he insisted the driver come in and join them (which flustered the host). On the way back, Rogers sat up front, and when he learned that they were passing the driver's home on the way, he asked if they could stop in to meet his family. According to the driver, it was one of the best nights of his life, the house supposedly lit up when Rogers arrived, and he played jazz piano and bantered with them late into the night. Further, like with the reporters, Rogers sent him notes and kept in touch with the driver for the rest of his life.

RFC2324 posted:There is also the fact that Disney routinely covers up anything like that to avoid bad PR. There will be records and police reports, they they will be buried in such a way that there is no realistic way of finding them. Going on Disney burying stories: http://ktla.com/2015/08/19/man-arrested-outside-disneyland-for-allegedly-having-loaded-pistol/ This article doesn't give a ton of info, but articles definitely aren't as easy to find on it as they were when it happened. If I remember correctly, guy was hearing voices telling him to go in and avenge his father or something like that. It was around the time when either the parade (or was it pyro?) was about to end, so Main Street would have been packed. I think the only reason I ever heard about it was because most of my Facebook friends are Cast Members.

Pigsfeet on Rye posted:Mr. Rogers was just an amazing human being. From a list about him: Was that the driver who was dying of AIDS, and Rogers called him in the hospital? Like a lot of kids, I eventually decided that Rogers was for babies. And as a cynical teen, I became convinced that there must be something sinister beneath his kind and harmless veneer. Years later, I read this profile of him in GQ or Esquire or something, which was basically ten pages of the reporter going, "YEP, HE REALLY IS EXACTLY THE WAY HE APPEARS ON TV". Blew my goddamn mind, but restored my faith in humanity. I'm the idiot on social media. The big, sappy, Mr.-Rogers-worshiping idiot.

A lot of people are really mad about it because apparently the messenger app sucks. Oh right. I remember a while back when they changed it so you had separate apps for Facebook and Messenger and a bunch of people were angry about that for some reason, but it seemed way more convenient to me? I find it hard to imagine someone choosing to use the Facebook website to send and receive messages when they could be using the Messenger app instead. That's just doing things the hard way for no reason.

I don't really use it myself because my friends prefer whatsapp so I don't know for sure, but what I heard is that it's a battery hog and that's why people were using the chat thing on the mobile site. It could just be that people hate change though.

You used to be able to access messages in the regular-old FB app, so it's kind of annoying having to have an extra app taking up space on your phone. Plus, there was that thing awhile back where people thought the permissions needed to have it were unreasonable (but no different from standard FB), so there's probably still some of that as well.

RFC2324 posted:I actually had a dude do this to me. I was working at some call center, and while we were in training he would ride to my house with me to get lunch, which is pretty normal. Once we got out of training, and didn't have lunch at the same time, I walked up to him and asked him for his keys as a joke. I nearly fell over when he handed them to me, and didn't understand why I was so surprised. That's actually a mugging/con artist technique. If you walk up to somebody and ask 'hey can I see your wallet', you'd be surprised by how many people will hand it over without thinking about it first.

I use the Facebook messanger app alot to send videos that are to big or for video chatting between IPhone and Androids. I don't see how anyone would have a problem with using it honestly.

I'm the four upcoming pages of messaging-app discussion where people profess to not care about which app people use and then go on to talk about what all they themselves use and why that all is superior, interspersed with other people humblebragging about how they "don't use messaging apps  ", others going "stfu about messaging apps, btw $messaging-app is best because  ", and finally taken out back and shot by a LoB massivepost.

Paraphrased from how I recall she told it. "Me and my friend were walking up the street being bad girls in our teen years - dressed like sluts, smoking cigarettes, loudly swearing. We turned a corner and saw Mr. Rogers coming up the street towards us. We looked at each other and without a word immediately threw away our smokes and when he walked past said in unison "Hello Mr. Rogers!" and without a beat he fires back the friendliest smile I've ever seen.

The only gripe I have is that it's pretty big memory wise for a messaging app, otherwise it's great. Also the hd phone calls are awesome and it sounds like you're actually talking to the person.
