Speaking of identity theft my granny's bank called saying her social security check didn't come in. Someone used the social security website to route her check to a mailbox in Florida. I guess even if you don't sign up for an online social security account they create one for you anyways. The screwed up part is that since they create it for you it has no security questions to prevent it from being easy for someone to access. Everything is sorted out now but if you know someone in your family that receives social security benefits or disability but hasn't created an online profile you might want to help them create one so it's more secure.

Oh man.

If I sounded like an ass it was not intentional. When I googled Labrador some kind of workers union in Sweden or something to that effect. I was seriously wondering lol.

seriously, worth chilling.. i was one of the thread closing-ist staff guys around (if not king), and id have let this one go, based off good intentions alone... op is sharing info they clearly find worth sharing to a subset of the site which was clearly stated in the title so only reason to click on it it was if you were curious about the details

"Really, if I wanted to know the details of the U.S. veteran labradors, I'd go to www.va.gov (which clearly states that the card should be safeguarded) and read about it. If I was interested in general U.S. news, I'd go to a U.S. news website."

I was going off the words "veteran labrador". In the US it's a breed of dog. Please do let me know if it means something else in Sweden. I looked it up in the dictionary and only found dogs and an area of Canada.

I can appreciate a thread for simply being an interesting discussion, so it's not that at all. At least "what's your day job" provokes somewhat meaningful discussion around that topic, while this basically starts off as plain news aggregation.

Point taken, but to be fair I haven't seen a 'dayjob' thread that promotes much discussion

boomlinde wrote:

That sounds like a nice topic for discussion. I wish someone had posted that topic instead of this!

Yes but this thread is an example of 'questionable' data handling that could be abused, more concrete then a 'black helicopters' thread.
I respect your opinion. Peace man

Maybe you missed where I replied to each of your points with a reasonable counter-argument.

For not wanting to "internet battle" you sure make up some good flame bait. I don't have an issue with America in General, and I don't regard soldiers as dogs, unless they are dogs. It's not that my opinions on these things have anything to do with what we're discussing; I just feel like I need to disclose them since you are making confused assumptions about them.

There are many US army vets in the community so it is relevant to a good portion of the members here.
I'm sure it is, but is this the relevant site to relay that information? Really, if I wanted to know the details of the U.S. veteran labradors, I'd go to www.va.gov (which clearly states that the card should be safeguarded) and read about it. If I was interested in general U.S. news, I'd go to a U.S. news website.

Also the thread was accurately titled so you should have known before you even clicked in that it was a total waste of your time.
The same goes with spam mail. Just don't click it. It will never ever be a waste of your time.

There is a distinct difference between useful information that affects a good part of the community and "lol look at this picture" threads.
Yes, but is the difference meaningful in the context of chipmusic? Both of them seem completely irrelevant, good intentions aside.

Good for you.

Just because something is not relevant to you does not mean it's not useful to others in his community we all share.
My concern is that it is not relevant to the site. My interpretation of what this site is about obviously isn't universal, but I feel like some people would agree that these posts don't really belong here, and that they make this site a less attractive forum for discussing and reading about chipmusic.
