Selena Gomez exposed her ankle in a Mosque and posted a pic.

The outrage we must all feel about the rampant disrespect of the religion of peace,

Amiright?

Yeah? I mean, I'm as anti-religion as the next guy, but that seems a pointless ******* thing to do.

Personally when I go to other people's Houses of Worship I try to be as respectful as possible, but then I'm not a huge dick, so YMMV.

What are some good 1 on 1 games to play on the iPhone over wifi? Besides words with friends.

Google search has been pretty worthless in this regard.

It's not an age thing. You're just as hip and trendy as my 68 year old mother.

So apparently Bono is not going to be able to play the guitar anymore.

Why is the news talking as if this is a bad thing?

I saw those headlines yesterday. I don't ever recall seeing Bono play guitar in the first place.

eta: Admittedly, I stopped paying attention sometime around Zooropa.

I said mother. My grandmothers are both long dead.

And no, it increasingly isn't. Look around. Having your face buried in an iGadget 24/7 has become the norm for baby boomers.

Half of the 50-64 demographic owned a smartphone in 2013. 88% owned a mobile phone of any type. Phone internet usage by this group grew at a 50% higher rate than the 18-29 group.

In 2012, 72% of 50-64's texted. That was over 2 years ago.

lol children trying to lecture their elders.

I don't think anyone was saying that olds don't use tech, but do they really use it at the same rate as young people (the 24/7 claim)? Total number of texts sent, time spent on the internet, using apps, etc.? That is not my experience (obv anecdotal).
