TIL Ali Abunimah believes the struggle in Israel to get Haredim in the army is a product of Zionist anti-Semitism, since the anti-Zionist Haredim are practicing 'real Judaism.' He lumps it in with Israeli racism towards Arabs and Africans. A disgusting man.

TIL one of my favorite soccer players, Mathieu Flamini, co-owns a major biofuel company, something that he apparently kept secret for several years.
TIL Charlie Sheen has been HIV positive for over a year and didn't tell the women he was sleeping with.

Well, looks like he's going to jail then. As I recall, not informing sexual partners of the fact that you have HIV when you know you have it is a felony in some states and is at least classified as a misdemeanor in 32 states.

TIL one of Charlie Sheen's exes is a former pornstar.
Well, he's definitely screwed big time.

I imagine because he probably didn't treat her like "one of the hottest actresses at the time"

TIL that Mark Zuckerberg is a Civilization fan:
A member of CFC perhaps? Wouldn't be overly surprising; CFC does predate Facebook, after all. Though of course, it probably would make sense for him to keep his alias here if that were in fact the case.
Regardless, my opinion of him has increased - being a fan of Civilization is nearly always a redeeming quality.
TIL as well, from the same article, that as of Q2 2015, 58% of U.S. and Canadian residents count as monthly Facebook users. Quite a change from when I joined and there were, IIRC, about 10 million users worldwide. Ah, those were the days for social networks. Oddly enough, though I was in the first 3%, I'm no longer in that 58% since I only check Facebook every few months. It was just so much cooler when it was all college and high school students.

I liked social networks that you could escape to, not feel the need to escape from.
Maybe that's part of the appeal of this forum.

I joined facebook the summer after 11th grade, only because my brother, four years younger, just joined and I realized I was really behind. Facebook is depressing in a way but it is a necessary evil - I would've lost contact with so many awesome people if I didn't have it.

That's nothing. I still don't have a CFC account
That's nothing! I have 3 logins!
Facebook is just very practical to use for event posting, so in the world of books it is vastly useful.
Likewise for other art events.
Although it is going to be a huge problem if it evaporates in the future, or charges for stuff it doesn't charge for now. (it already charges for promoting a page, btw).
