In lieu of Donald Trump, and pretty much all the unsuccessful protests around the world, is Western media terrible?
It s got to be, right? I mean look at how many idiots are supporting him simply because of his exposures on the media. Just goes to show how much Western media capitalize on entertainment.
As much as I wish it would be other way around, I can t really think of the good things Western media has done in the past decade or so, since the rise of Internet. Expanding democracy? Maybe, but even then I don t think it has great influence internationally...
Sorry if I sound cynically, but I just genuinely want to know if Western media can be any good.

1 AnswerMathematics8 years agoCan a single external hard drive work for Windows and Mac?
I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to hard drives, but I know that the Windows run on NTFS and that Macs run on HFS+. I was wondering if there are such hard drives that operate on both? I know I can format the hard drives by installing Paragon and MacDrive, but I would rather just buy a hard drive that can be used between the two OS without having to be formatted myself. Or is this not possible?
Thanks!

192 AnswersFacebook8 years agoWhich PC game should I get?
I've been looking at Black Ops II, Assassin's Creed III, or Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
OR actually, a game that has a great replay value. And if it includes multi-player component, even better.
So which one of the three should I get? Or better yet, if you guys could suggest a game that has a great replay value, I'd love to hear it! Thanks.
1 AnswerPC8 years agoFacebook mobile activity question?
I'm using the Facebook mobile app on my iPhone 4. What I noticed from the chat sidebar was that some of my friends had green light next to their name (indicating that they were using desktop or browsers) and some had the mobile phone icon (indicating that they were on facebook mobile app or facebook messenger app). Now, I do have both apps, but whenever I use them, my friends told me that I don't have a mobile icon next to my name, but a green light, indicating that I'm on a browser, not a smartphone. However, when I do log off or close those apps, my friends say that I do get the mobile icon next to my name.
Is this a glitch? My phone is up to date and so are the apps, so I'm not quite why I wouldn't be getting the mobile icon when I'm on the apps.
Thanks!
4 AnswersFacebook8 years agoCan I take my contact lenses off and put them back on without soaking them for six hours?
For instance, I'd like to take them off when I get back home from three and when I'm going outside at 6, I'd like to put them back on. Is this okay or would that be damaging for my eye's health?
Thanks!
6 AnswersOptical9 years agoWhat was I reading?!?
It's a fairly new series. A young boy is accused of murdering a man in his school and is sent to a teen prison. There he meets three high-profile teen murderers: one who is like a hulk, other guy who has glasses but is very cunning, and another guy who is very hot-tempered. So the poor protagonist looks like he'll have some rough time, until a zombie virus breaks out and infects people in the prison. The protagonist and the three dangerous guys escape the prison, only to see that the whole town, maybe the whole country, is in danger of these zombie virus. There is some ailen that seems to be controlling these zombies.
If you want more detail, I'll give you more! BTW, it's a horror, supernatural, and comedy genre I think.

Does anyone know what this manga is about? The last part I was reading was one of the boy's friend gets framed for destroying other puppets.
3 AnswersComics & Animation9 years agoREALLY embarrasing question but please help!?
I typed in my friend's address for ordering vulva original (a perfume mimicking scent of vagina) just to see what kind of cards they accepted. Then it suddenly said 'thanks for ordering' and 'you'll recieve and order confirmation soon' and I got one via email. It says then pay online now.
Does this mean that my friend will get a billing info via mail?? I really don't want that to happen! I know it was a stupid thing to do, and I was just curious about it! Or are they just having those info and waiting for me to pay online? My friend won't get the perfume will he??
Please help me ;( and I will never do this again!
8 AnswersOther - Skin & Body10 years agoCan anyone recommend a top quality in-ear bud headphones?
I used Monster Beats Lady Gaga v. 1 and the left side broke after 1 and half a year.
I want to get a new one so I wanted to know if anybody can recommend me some.
Things I'm looking for:

Basically, the Gaga earphones have round and resonating sound. I would like to use an earphones that are very similar in quality, or even better.
Possible brands I'm looking for is Shure, Beats, and Bose.
Thanks everyone!

1 AnswerChemistry10 years agoI haven't masturbated in 11 days. I'm a guy.?
As my question states, I haven't jacked off in 11 days. I usually would masturbate everyday, every other day, or 2-3 days later.
Why did I stop?
I did some research that masturbating releases dopamine and excess masturbation will override the brain system and continues to keep our body in 'fight or flight' situation. I personally don't really know what that situation feels like, though I may have experienced it. But I'll say that I never felt nervous, angry, or scared when I masturbated everyday... and being constantly in that situation didn't sound too good to me. So if someone can clarify what that means I would appreciate it.
And someone told me that excessive dopamine in the system will hinder memory temporarily. After the levels are down, it'll be fine. But during that 'high' period, I heard it really hurts the memory. And I'm guessing over time, it'll have some consequences. Again, if someone can clarify this, that would be great.
I know that anything excessive isn't good and I felt like I wasn't doing my body any good by masturbating everyday. So I decided to give maybe about a week break. But as week passed, I noticed some changes.
I think I became a bit more cranky and angry (I'm guessing it's the increase in testosterone) but other than that, I feel much better; even with less hours of sleep, I feel strong and energetic. I'm less tired during the day. I also feel more confident around girls and even feel like I'm getting more attention.
I haven't had any wet dreams lately, and to avoid it, I've been sleeping on my back (so my penis doesn't get stimulated by the bed).
I don't know if this is just all in my head. If anyone abstained from masturbation for awhile and experienced some changes, I would greatly appreciate it if you shared them with me. Or if anyone has some questions I'd be willing to answer.

My friend blurred out my face in a picture (so my face was originally showing). It was a group photo and he basically blurred out everyone.
BUT I want to remove the blur from MY face at least; not showing off, but, I thought I looked pretty good lol.
So is there a way to remove a blur from a edited blur picture? Perhaps Photoshop CS4? Or CS5? Thanks!
4 AnswersPhotography10 years agoIs smashing someone's eyeglasses attempted murder?
I was playing around with my friend and I was fake a punch to his face, he yelled attempted murder. He then explained to me that if one is punched in the face while they have eyeglasses (prescription eyeglasses), then it's considered as an attempted murder.
Is this really true? Or to what extent is the law interpreted regarding victim who has their eyeglasses smashed? Thanks guys!
