Social Media Fail of the Day: ISIS Creates Social Network ‘Khelafabook,’ Anonymous Reportedly Takes It Offline

Between threats from Anonymous and a new crackdown from Twitter, ISIS is having a tough time reaching out and recruiting new psychopaths online.

To circumvent the censorship, the Islamic militant group has reportedly created its own social network called “Khelafabook.”

The Facebook clone claims it is independent and not actually sponsored by ISIS (even though it has ISIS logos all over its homepage). It says its goal is to show the world that they don’t only “live in caves” and “carry guns,” and they vow to “will rule the world by Allah’s permission.”

Khelafabook was set up by a man in Mosul, Iraq, according to The Independent, and is hosted in Egypt. There’s also an associated Twitter account which is linked to from the site.

The site first popped up last week, but has already been taken offline “to protect the info and details of its members,” according to a message on the page.

After it was taken down, Twitter accounts associated with Anonymous appeared to claim responsibility, as Vocativ points out.

For the the time being they’ll have to look elsewhere to share their terrorist pancake recipes.

Boss gets fed up with neighboring store's customers parking in his lot, he places boulders between the stores to block them, leading to a dispute with next-door owner: ‘A solid solution’

Even though cars are one of the most valuable inventions humans have ever come up with, they are also one of the things that enrage people the most. Gas prices, traffic, and parking are just broad examples of the kinds of rage that sitting in a car can cause a person. With that rage, a lot of feuds between people arise.

If you think that parking pettiness is only an issue where one lives, then you will be surprised by this story. OP (original poster) is working in a store, and their boss has been feuding with the next-door store owner for years. Their latest feud was about, you guessed it, parking. The stores' adjacent parking lots caused the two to fight about who gets to park where, until OP's boss decided to take action and put a stop to people parking where they should. He installed cameras, put up boulders, and even hired a parking management company to get his neighbor to stop parking in his lot.

After years of carrying the company on his back, employee reaches breaking point when his boss informs him he needs more ‘coaching’: ‘Do you even know how to do the work?’

It seems like the higher you climb in the corporate world, the less work you actually do. Otherwise, how can you explain that every CEO in the world seems to do absolutely nothing in their own company? They come to the office twice a week at best, wander around for an hour, have a meeting or two with the people who actually have work, and then go home.

What is even more annoying, is that those types of bosses have no appreciation for the people beneath them, who work extremely hard to keep the company going, like the employee who wrote this Reddit story. OP (original poster), is the only employee left in the company who didn't give up on their CEO. He has watched everyone else quit, and yet he stayed to make sure someone in the company actually does any of the work. That was until his hopeless boss told OP he needed more 'coaching' from him, which made OP understand just how much his boss cares about his company.

'Did they think they were gonna make money from their wedding?': Newlyweds "devastated" after only gaining $3k from wedding instead of the $10k they expected

This newly-married couple is going to be in a world of debt after throwing a lavish wedding that didn't exactly pay off. 

Weddings these days are a bit different than they were 50 years ago. Besides the obvious changes in decorum and decoration, there's a whole new tradition around gift-giving. Many couples choose to live together before marriage these days, which can be quite beneficial. You can learn if you are compatible with someone before legally declaring it forever. However, if you live with someone for a few years before marriage, you'll have to buy everything for your house in the meantime. In the past, couples were just starting out, and would move in together after marrying. Their gifts would often include cookware, baby items, furniture, or other presents designed to start a new couple off in their home. 

Nowadays, you may as well give the newlyweds some cash. They probably have a lot of furniture and pots and pans already. But they might be going severely into debt to pull off their dream wedding, just like the couple here. It's an eye-opening read, as shared by @kaylajohnsonatl. Commenters debated the state of gift-giving these days–check it all out below. 

After that, this interviewer lamented that "[It] is just really tacky" after noticing that a job candidate did something that gave him pause.

Wedding guest asked to leave when blacklight turns her dress into a banned color during the reception: 'I wore a dress that looks white under a black light'

You don't wear white to a well-lit or naturally-lit normal wedding. Apparently, you also don't wear yellow to a blacklight wedding either—so says this bridal party who asked a guest to leave after declaring her yellow dress to be inappropriate under the chosen ambient lighting.

While we've read about some ridiculous situations where wedding guests have worn what might-as-well-be wedding dresses to their friend's or family member's wedding affairs, I think it's fair to say that this is not one of those situations. Of course, if you were a bee or a butterfly or some other creature that can see the ultraviolet spectrum, you might be able to be willingly held accountable for wearing such a color. 

I thought blacklights were pretty cool, too, when I was a teenager, but I can't imagine having blacklights for such an event as a wedding now. Still, accusing someone of not anticipating the lighting of the wedding reception is strange and petty, especially when the bride herself didn't seem to care.

New hire gets fired 10 minutes into their shift after boss claims they were ‘not being proactive’, coworker reveals it was not the first time this happened: ‘I was the 4th person they hired’

Everyone remembers their first real job, the place that kickstarted their career and made them who they are today. And since everyone remembers that experience, no matter how much time passed, it shouldn't be hard to be nice to those who are just starting out.

If every boss would recall their first week at their job, they would remember how stressful it is to prove themselves, and they would remember how important it is to have the right guidance, to have someone who can train you and help you get the ropes of the job on those first days. 

However, instead of providing that guidance to new hires, bosses insist on doing the exact opposite, while some go as far as firing people if they don't show the right 'initiative' on their first days. Much like the boss in this Reddit story, who fired their new hire 10 minutes into the shift simply because they thought it would be wise to wait for instructions, and not act on their own.

'Just remember that in da clurrb, we all fam': Boss sends fake message to his team only to start layoffs the next day

This is definitely not the tone you want to set before firing a bunch of people on your team! 

This boss had the audacity to send a team-wide message to boost everyone's morale by including the overused colloquial statement, "just remember that in da clurrb, we all fam." Yes, it was written that exact way, and no, this message did not get the intended reaction from its audience. Instead, this toxic boss's employees responded with confusion, frustration, and eye-rolls about how outdated and desperate their employer was acting. 

Well, their frustrations did not stop there because the very next day, their boss decided to begin a well-planned series of layoffs across the team. The Redditor, who shared the initial team-wide email for all of us to mock, was one of the unfortunate employees to be let go from the company. However, in the long run, perhaps he was spared because who wants a boss like that?

Cheap Fix Floated For Plane Vapor's Climate Damage

AmiMoJo writes: The climate-damaging vapors left behind by jet planes could be easily tackled, aviation experts say, with a new study suggesting they could be eliminated for a few pounds per flight. Jet condensation trails, or contrails, have spawned wild conspiracy theories alleging mind control and the spreading of disease, but scientists say the real problem is their warming effect. "They create an artificial layer of clouds, which traps the heat from the Earth that's trying to escape to outer space," said Carlos Lopez de la Osa, from the Transport & Environment campaign group, which has carried out a new study on the solutions to contrails. "The scale of the warming that's associated with them is roughly having a similar impact to that of aviation carbon emissions." Tweaking the flight paths of a handful of aircraft could reduce contrail warming by more than half by 2040, at a cost of less than $5.1 per flight. Geography and a flight's latitude have a strong influence on whether a contrail is warming. Time of day also influences the climate effects of contrails. Those formed by evening and night flights have the largest warming contribution. Seasonality is also important -- the most warming contrails tend to occur in winter. "Planes are already flying around thunderstorms and turbulence areas," Mr Lopez de la Osa said. "We will need to add one more constraint to flight planning, which is avoiding areas of contrail formation."
