Spent money I don’t have to catch a documentary at Dohwa Theatre.

Hard pass.

Went home, ate again, and worried about everything.

No money.

No income.

No direction.

Did I mess up?

Told you I’d tag you, @DoyeonKwon, if you accepted my ZoiFriend invite.

Sorry I had to bolt to Taekwondo —

catch you soon.

Does "Hide this Post" train Facebook?

Facebook now has an option to hide individual posts? Does this train Facebook as to which posts are interesting?

Answer [by David A.]: Does "Hide this Post" train Facebook?

Webapp to email me new RSS feed updates from basecamp?
