The sweet stuff, like Manischewitz? I don't mind it, I had it all the time as a kid around Christmas time (yes, my grandfather enjoyed his fair share of Jewish traditions, even though he was a churchgoing Lutheran). I've always thought it was pretty good as an after-dinner drink, as most sweet liquor is best enjoyed.

Yeah, Manischewitz; been having it at night after dinner whilst watching my stories. If a nice evening breeze gets going it's extra enjoyable.

I finally found a company willing to sponsor me in pool tournaments!

I think Google is deleting some of my reviews on the play store. I left a review for Chrome yesterday and now its gone.

It was sort of a negative review.

It's possible your review is automatically flagged and removed temporarily for moderator approval after it gets a certain amount of negative votes on it.

Snake · Post by **Snake** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 9:40 pm

How can I tell how many negative votes my reviews have?

It's only for the reviews I leave for Google apps. All the other reviews for non-google apps are still there as far as I can tell. It's just the reviews I leave for Google apps like Chrome that goes missing.

I left a sort of negative review for Chrome yesterday and looked today and its gone. Like if I never reviewed it in the first place.

It sounds sorta fishy to me.

Because some people love to downvote everything for [&@%!] and giggles or because you dared to have an opinion and must be negged to hell for this horrible sin or Google is using a new policy of no negative reviews to try to stop trolls from burying products that they hate or posting false reviews to bury it.

Only thing I said on the Chrome one is that if they don't fix that bug I mentioned in the review that has been there for what seems like ages that I'll start using Firefox. Firefox probably triggered it if it's a filtering system.

Edit: my reviews for the Google Keyboard and Google Now Launcher are still there.

Making threats in reviews is not the best practice, I would think.

Per · Post by **Per** » Wed Aug 05, 2015 11:56 pm

It's understandable, Firefox triggers me as well.

Well look who wandered into GD Perchance.

Yes I know. But it wasn't exactly a threat. It was the truth. In my eyes anyway. That bug has been there for months now, maybe longer and it really needs to be fixed. It's completely pointless but I was technically trying to get them off their ass.

This exact situation is why I like open-source software where the community can fix issues instead of waiting on a corporation.

What is this bug? I'm a Chromatic (because reasons) and I need to know if I'm going to run across it.

I run Debian. I tried Ubuntu and a few other distros but didn't like them. I started using Debian and I just stuck with it. Just seems more me I guess.

I don't know if it effects everyone or not but I know that it effects a few people. It's a bug in the Android version. While it's loading a webpage, it will all of a sudden stop for no reason and just show a blank white screen. Sometimes it will just go to a blank white screen even after the page has loaded and I'll have to actually reload the page to fix it. I've yet to find a reason why it does it. I've been dealing with it for months. It's not anything thats gonna keep me from using Chrome, its just getting really old.

It does it while I'm viewing the mobile forum here sometimes. I never know when its going to do it, it just happens.

Too many plums. Intestines set to turbo.

Post by **Musicman247** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 5:29 pm

So they turned to prunes in your digestive system.

Argonanza · Post by **Argonanza** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 6:07 pm

Well, the only difference between prunes and plums is that you have to eat more of the latter to achieve the [&@%!].

Hmmm, my guts turning plums into prunes. I bet I could make money with that concept, somehow. Like the expensive coffee made from beans that have been pooped out by a lemur.

Post by **Musicman247** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 6:11 pm

You should bag that [&@%!] and see if you can sell it.

Argonanza · Post by **Argonanza** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 6:22 pm

My butt prunes will pave the way towards a glorious business empire.

Post by **Aarah** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 6:27 pm

I can't remember what fruit dates are made from, but they are even worse than prunes (taste wise). The fact that a popular brand of them is called 'Eat Me' plainly shows their desperation in trying to get people to eat their disgusting fruit based snack.

What would you call your digested plums on the market, Nanza?

The-Shadow-One · Post by **The-Shadow-One** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 6:34 pm

I'd call mine 'Eat [&@%!]'

Argonanza · Post by **Argonanza** » Thu Aug 06, 2015 6:52 pm

Spoiler alert: dates are made from dates.

Proops?
