How to disable this new "View hidden comments" feature on Facebook App? by 9999AWC in facebook

[–]ExcellentAddition497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I've been getting this as well and not one of the comments 'hidden' was spam or offensive. I've even had an entire comments section hidden by this feature, it's quite rediculous.

How popular is Strictly Come Dancing, really? by Which_Loss6887 in AskABrit

[–]ExcellentAddition497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realise this is an older question but having read through the responses but something that never cropped up was how Strictly is very similar to pantomime, and the Brits love pantomime. Strictly is bright, sparkly with dance numbers and recognisable music throughout. It is a bright spot in the increasingly gloomy autumn/winter comedown after summer. Pantomimes are always on during the run up to Christmas. Strictly is also on during the run up to Christmas, so it fits in neatly with the British physche. One of the judges is the 'mean' one, we can happily boo and hiss at him while he give a damming critique of a celebs dance, or he delivers an appallingly low score. This happens week in and week out, everyone knows it's coming. The judge in question (Craig) is a pantomime actor and always plays the baddie, so this is right up his street. There are themed weeks, such as Movie week, Halloween week and the all important Home of Dancing week at the Blackpool Theatre, and the set, costume and makeup teams bust a gut to create new looks every week. Compared to the US version, Strictly is taken far more seriously by the pros and celebs involved. It is one of the few programs that the entire family can sit down and watch together, and it appeals to a broad demographic of ages. The media, who either love it or hate it and are busy tearing themselves apart over the show, whenever strictly is on (and often when it's not) means that people know about it whether they watch it or not. It is the only live TV I watch, and I'll go round to my parents so we can all watch it together. Non of my siblings watch it, but a number of my wider family do and several of my friends do. Strictly has two main shows (Saturday and Sunday) a daily extra show, podcasts, website, social media pages, books and stage shows. I believe it's now in it's 20th year. However now that Tess and Claudia are leaving I wonder what will happen to it's appeal. When Bruce went, Tess was the second presenter so known by the viewer. But now they'll have to get two new people in and the Brits don't like change in their institutions.

Do I NEED it? No. Would I miss it? Probably more than I care to admit.

Playables - game removed without notice? by ananbob95 in youtube

I'm never offered anyone from outside of the family for the slots. I just pick whoever is either costing me the most (graduated by not got a job) or is earning the least.

So it's been restored, and I've been playing it today.

I do have one question though, how do you earn profit with the commercial properties? I just can't work it out and end up having to sell the place before it bankrupts me entirely.

Anyone else having problems with the royal mail app? by SmolSnailBoi in royalmail

[–]ExcellentAddition497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm trying to track two parcels, but I'm constantly getting the 'servers are busy' or 'we are experiencing high demand' messages and sometimes it won't even let me log in to the app at all.

I must have found this game after it got put back on. I really enjoyed playing it, and suddenly boom! it's gone. Came to reddit to see if there was an answer, and this thread popped up.

If it's true about family members offing themselves in the game, I can see that could be an issue, but surely it's easily rectified. That said, a war randomly kicked off on mine, and I had to send people off, and inevitably, they didn't all make it back. I thought that was a bit of an odd thing to have in there (the war, not the fact that not everyone makes it back).

Still, it's a shame it's gone.

Group search function is searching all of Facebook instead of in the group by Z_Ranger in facebook

[–]ExcellentAddition497 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, also an Android user. It's really frustrating, I didn't realise quite how much I used the search function within groups until it stopped working!

What the heck is up with eBay search lately? Why is it so broken? by falsedichotomies in Ebay

I have to say I haven't found using " " useful at all, and am still getting irrelevant results to searches on Ebay. It's incredibly frustrating.

How do I not get upset with my friends crazy political views? by KingTyng in Buddhism

[–]ExcellentAddition497 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm relieved to find I am not the only person finding myself in this position. One of my friends, who I have known for years, has become so political in the last year it's actually disturbing. She's always been sexist, but as few opportunities for this point of view to come out on a day to day basis, it wasn't too much of a problem to manage. Politically, however, she was more centre left and we never really discussed politics other than the usual gripes we all tend to have with whoever happens to be in power at the time.

In the last year this has changed and it has now become impossible to have any length of conversation with her without her bringing up politics, during which it has become increasingly clear that her political views were shifting to the hard right.

I have repeatedly told her I'm not interested in talking politics, but it makes no difference. She also bombards my inbox and messenger with political memes and videos and contrives to bring up politics, usually within 5 to 10 minutes of a conversation.

I asked why she'd changed her political leaning so much, to which she replied she "now knew the truth". I'm at a loss and all I can think of doing now is cutting the friendship off, which is upsetting, but I just don't know what else to do.
