    URL Change

    By Andrea Menzies

    Long live FH7Books.com at WordPress the old URL at FH7publishing.com is dead. Podcasts and other posts are now on FH7Books.com forever. The GoDaddy webpage started to block all users, and was not cheap. I tried moving it to cheaper hosting in a gamble for better service and lost. I only bought a webpage to save photos to someplace other than social media as lawsuits like the one mentioned in the NPR Facebook Contagion article https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2014/06/30/326929138/facebook-manipulates-our-moods-for-science-and-commerce-a-roundup show many forms of social media are VERY harmful. First I just saved pictures on my computer, but a crash destroyed many. Then Yahoo email photos, then Flicker, then Photobucket, then Dropbox, then Facebook, then Google, then Instagram. The flavor of the week changes daily, and one account hack can destroy thousands of photos forever. Google just tried to lock me out of Google drive this month. I am on my fourth Facebook account as abusive ex-boyfriends with tiny computer hacking skills have stalked me on the Internet trying to destroy my social media pages. WordPress.com is the one place in years that has NOT destroyed my digital photos, but it lacked space on the free plan. Now it is my private webpage plan to save years of photos, and to make a personal webpage that is useful again. I will resume doing podcasts as the web transfer hassle ends.

  • Facebook Emotional Contagion Study

    Facebook Emotional Contagion Study

    By Andrea Menzies

    How are so few people talking about the about the Facebook Emotional Contagion Study where about 700,000 people had their posts manipulated with lies by Facebook, and courts said it was okay due to terms of service saying they can conduct research? I am taking night school classes. Part of the homework was to take the ethics class online at the CITI Program on Social and Behavioral Research clinical section. Some parts of the certificate discussed the Hippocratic Oath and medical privacy which made me want to study healthcare really badly. Some of it discussed unethical practices in clinical research and one part was “Internet-Based Research-SBE” by Alejandro Martinez with a section called “Facebook Emotional Contagion Study and considerations it raised for future researchers and IRB” saying it was lawsuit worthy unethical. I passed the class with all A grades.There were so many lawsuits about lies on Facebook made by Facebook. Why are so few people talking about how Facebook is killing people as lab rats? It is written into their terms of service that they can just manipulate people for research whenever they feel like it. They received no consent from users to do research other than information buried in the terms of service. I quit Facebook before, but I went back on because several of my Texas friends got sick in the hospital and it was the only way to say get well soon. Now I am limiting my posts again because people are highly underestimating how evil Facebook truly is daily. If your phone goes dead there are few printed maps, and no phone books as people have traded most all paper printed information for the digital print. Is that really such a great idea? Before Trump people thought the lies were no big deal. It is becoming lawsuit worthy daily.

    Avakin Graphics

    By Andrea Menzies

    I may start using Avakin or Highrise graphics for my profile picture. No Photoshop is needed there. The second you are over age 16 on the Internet people start saying your photos are aren’t updated, and so an ageless cartoon keeps your ID never needing weekly updates. My review of Avakin Life is that it is a fun cross platform summer game, and is now available free on Steam games. #Avakinlife friend code KCL-WPT Also my second review is Highrise is another great way to chat for free in games on Steam. Add me at @Poedaughterz for more friends in that game. Fun for kids and grown-ups of all ages.

  • Dreamhost Is Terrible

    Dreamhost Is Terrible

    By Andrea M

    Never use Dreamhost as they are a nightmare webpage hosting service. First, they say they have low prices. For a tiny free trial time they are affordable then they jack prices ultra high. Then they claim you can transfer your webpage url to another service, but they will never do the transfer. Your new service will say “transfer failed” as Dreamhost says “transfer complete” never doing the move. The URL disappeared, and so you can’t restart. Dreamhost is where webpages go to be killed forever. I now see why linktree is so popular, and I am switching there now until I get a new page URL. It is super fun to make up new pages anyway so I am glad for an excuse to never use the death-page. My review is if you are considering moving there I hope Google warns you with this post to stay far away from their page killing nightmare service. #DreamHost Kills Pages

    Dreamhost kills webpages. #DreamHost Kills Pages

  • Wave Goodbye

    Wave Goodbye to the good old WordPress URL of https://frozenhistory7publishing.wordpress.com/ as my main webpage of Fh7publishing.com is down due to the URL being the new WordPress home for FH7publishing. Now instead of the page having a link to my blog, my blog will just BE at the URL. The page is down due to a webhosting site migration. Godaddy was the service I was using, but I have used WordPress longer in comparison to Godaddy, and their prices and service have become really bad. In contrast, WordPress hosting and email has become better and cheaper. Goodbye many online mirror pages, and hello more streamlined posting and e-mailing from the great JetPack app on my phone.

    By Andrea M

    Countries with far less money in comparison to the United States have Universal Healthcare for all citizens. When people are sick they can NOT work a lot of hours so having health insurance tied to a job guarantees you will lose it when you most need it. I am dealing with this gem of a logic flaw this week.

    Meanwhile the billionaires have seen record profits this year. Also they have record tax breaks.

  • Drowning Out Night

    Drowning Out Night

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am glad I got to get tickets for the Friday music show. Yet I had to desperately save up cash to get tickets. Corporations have made every square foot of all downtown areas a money pit. The last few concerts I went to I only saw a tiny bit of music, and had to leave. One big problem is cameras on phones. If you have one bad night and fall on your rear everyone will have a photo they post for 20 years. If you have an abusive ex-boyfriend that is bitter they can take a picture of you dressed up for going out, and Photoshop a mistake into existence.

    When my older relatives were in college going out was cheap. If you did a bit of babysitting or lawnmower work, and had 20 bucks you could do everything. Art gallery shows, poetry readings, and music concerts were everywhere and people met friends and could date constantly. Husbands met future wives that way. Food and drinks were cheap, and available in many flavors day and night. Cover-charge was rare, and only $2 now minimum $20. Pay parking was rare, and now is expensive everywhere downtown in every major town. Uber and Lyft are 50 or 60 bucks for small drives, and the app deactivates riders for tiny issues. Free ride home services never show up, and I used to drive for Uber so I heard people speak in horror of dangerous situations they were in when waiting for a non-existent free ride.

    Then I saw the post below on Instagram. It talks about New York nightlife, but it is true of every city. Then people in comments said move to the country. Country rent is cheaper, but you still need massive down payment and rent. Next, to live in the country you have to have a vehicle to do anything and pay for insurance and repairs. That is before you buy super expensive gas and parking. Driving everywhere takes a long time so you will want a hotel room to rest in which has also gone up massively in price. I am not the one person to notice that art and nightlife are not just difficult it is nearly impossible to do anymore. The friends and happiness nightlife art created have gone forever with it. Congratulations corporations you have not made being non-lonely difficult you have made it impossible. #music #art #futureUSA
