I miss my Marmalade.

Intelligence is fleeting for some

A while back I had been friend requested by a same graduating class person who at the time was known to be rather smart. Good grades, on the chess team and was skilled even while in junior high. Generally active in a few scholastically inclined things.

Then after a while on The Book of Faces, it was clear he was a Trump supporter. I mean, really? It's a shame he let those smarts go to waste. Or maybe he smoked something during those formative college years. But it's appalling how low that intelligence went. I doubt he could play chess anymore.

For others I've seen, they've held onto their intelligence and supplanted it with experience and wisdom. So yeah. Work that cranial muscle or lose it.

As for that "friend" on Foosebook? When it was clear our views didn't match, he unfriended me rather than accept he was wrong. (Or dumb)

When Facebook doesn't like YouTube for some reason

Facebook doesn't like various random YouTube URLs ("earls") for whatever reason. 

Clues include no thumbnail when you post either the full URL or the shortened mobile URL. And your post of the YouTube link disappears when you put it in a comment and hit Post.

I had once tried to share the link to a comedy clip on YouTube where an old guy operating a computer puts the My Computer icon in the desktop Recycling Bin, and his computer disappears. 51 second video, I thought it was hilarious. But no. It was my first occurrence of seeing Facebook throw up a message where it wasn't an approved URL and wasn't going to let me share it here. And yet the group who had the YouTube channel with this video had a page on Facebook and they were able to share it there!!

Just now I tried to post a link to a decent quality upload of MC Hammer's 2 Legit 2 Quit as a comment. But no. Facebook wouldn't put a thumbnail on the mobile link and deleted the full desktop link when I tried posting that. I had to settle with a link to another but crappy quality upload of the same damn thing.

Now, in the case of the old guy deleting his computer video, there was a place I could tap on (click?) to dispute the verboten status of the link, and I explained what it was and Did they even see this video?? I mean, are you kidding me??
