Not yet, but I plan to turn it off before Game of Thrones starts..or when I can get around to turning it off.
I couldn't find a way to turn it off, had to use an add on.

Can I turn off trending from my News Feed?
You can't turn off trending from your News Feed.
Fuck You, Facebook
We get that a lot

Yep. :/
Not sure if you care to do it, but the last 1% would be at Cliffside Bunker. You can't fast travel there so it doesn't show up on the map.

That's why you should only open FB on your phone. No ads no trends.
Curse my obsessive-compulsive nature, but yep, it was in there. Stupid bloody game. I AM DONE WITH YOU NOW! SEE ME MOVE ON!!!!

Adam Goodes is Australian of the Year. I'm good with that.
This is a joke right?
They're even worse on mobile. Embedded in the news feed. No way to get rid of them.

View across Kowloon side (i think) of HK with random bystander. We're on top of the Lion Rock, it was some serious climbing. But I guess the payoff was pretty nice.

:O There were monkeys?!?!
Pic looks great, but I'm sure it doesn't do it justice.
I've completely given up on FB's news feed, there's so much junk in it. I usually open it to chat with people, check events and nothing else.

I definitely recommend the bushwalks around the Royal National Park. http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/Royal-National-Park/the-coast-track/walking

People still use Facebook?
Nobody reads my posts
Halfbrick knows that Aussies are stupid and can get some extra money out of them? Not sure. Especially since creating a US account is free and easy.

Watched it 2 nights ago. Gotta give credit to the music, that is the one and only thing that kept me going.
Strange, I've seen offers from pages that I've liked, but never any ads or suggestions on mobile.

Yeah, it's certainly an acquired style of movie. Love that type of music though. The 70/80s John Carpenter style music was one of the reasons I loved the first Mass Effect so much.
Some other random movies you guys may be interested in (in no particular order, many aren't very good, no idea what you might've seen): Escape From New York, Willow, Legend, Highlander, Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Starman, The Wraith, The Last Starfighter, The Breakfast Club, Krull, Top Secret, Real Genius, Porky's, Weird Science, Animal House.
If you liked anything about Big Trouble in Little China, at least watch other John Carpenter's stuff like Escape From New York. I'm not going to tell you which of those other suggestions are considered 'good', you should find out for yourselves if you've not heard of those films. Some of them are bordering on trollish suggestions.

The Thing is Carpenter's best work and the finest horror film ever made.
Music was done by the same guy who did the movie. So... there you go.
When you watch Big Trouble in Little China, everybody wins.
I still haven't seen The Thing. I also want to watch Assault on Precinct 13 (the original one). If only because this song from a classic Amiga game rips the melody from it (and even acknowledges it, as the song's subtitle is "Hip Hop on Precinct 13".
And I still need to see Escape from New York in one sitting, too :/
And rewatch They Live... because it's fucking badass (and having seen it makes playing Driver SF that little bit more satisfying!).
Oh, and wasn't someone asking about the PSN freebies coming up and if we got Infinite or something?
I'm not sure if there are bigger mountains, but the hike I did was just one stage out of 10. So if i decide to go super hardcore, I could do all 10 stages at once...which is 100kms lol!
yeah, but they were more dangerous looking than cute unfortunately:/
shoulda swung by man!

Is it horrible that it's the only horror movie I own (or have ever enjoyed) or is it a sign of my taste?
Edit: beat by seconds. SECONDS
happy Australia day. it's an honor.

Omi, you linked to Bolt and I clicked it. You are bad and should feel bad.
SurfersGAF (QldGAF/BrisGAF) advice please: I'm up at Surfers for a weekend in Feb with my daughter (10). We've got a wedding in the morning on Saturday and then lunch of undefined duration (though I think we can probably assume running until 2ish) and then we're free to do whatever. We fly back to Melbs 2pm on Sunday from Brisbane. Is it AusGAF's opinion that we should spend the $120 to get us both into Wet'n'wild for what would probably only be about 2.5 hours in the hottest part of the day when we should really be hiding our pale white Melbournian skin in the shade somewhere... or is there something better we could do maybe?
As for the "she called him an ape because she's just an sweet little innocent and it's something she learned to do but it was all harmless except that whole perpetuating racism thing that Bolt would rather we just didn't care about" ugh... as for whether the guy should be given a You're A Great Aussie award I honestly don't know the selection criteria or really anything about the guy and it's not like Bolt is gonna present THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY FOR BALANCE so *shrug*. Just more Bolt defending his right to be a fucking racist cunt.

Goodes is Australian of the Year for having a public conversation about racism in a country that continues to brush it off.
Making him AotY raises the discussion again, which is a good thing since it's hard to say the original conversation has awakened peoples understanding as much as it could have done. People who brushed it off due to his position as a football player may take more notice since he has been given one of the highest honours this country can bestow.

The article in The Australian gives good coverage about the award (The Australian also awarded him joint Australian of the Year).
Funny how Bolt didn't mention any of that article's meat *except that one bit with the girl*.

not in surfers paradise gaf, but wet and wild is a fair way from surfers, I'd guess a hefty cab ride (not sure of bus timetables). It also has huge long lines so unless you go the hour before it closes (at 5pm, too), you'd spend most of that time in a queue. if you do go, take something to wear on your feet- concrete's hot.
Alternatives include Seaworld at Southport, Dreamworld at coomera (which is even further north) and has its own smaller waterpark adjoining it. There's also movieworld (which is next to wet and wild but has lots of rides for covered-up pasty victorians

Bail on the theme park ideas, wouldn't be worth the money for the time you'd waste in line. My suggestion go the beach (put on loads of sunscreen) and get lunch/dinner at http://www.petersfish.com.au
Listening to 3AW, obviously all the presenters are on board (which is unusual, normally John-Michael Howson is so right-wing it's ridiculous) but the people calling up are obviously quite upset. Some stupid old bird didn't agree with the decision because of "how he yelled at that poor young girl".
Jesus christ. There's a certain type of racism that isn't going to die until these stupid, narrow-minded old people do.

Oh my! That looks awesome!
I'd forgotten about Seaworld! I can't quite justify spending $180 for both of us to get in for only a couple of hours though, so I think I might just give the theme parks a miss this trip. Thanks!
