Did you know that you can influence which photo is used for stops & gyms in #PoGo?

If you can see the POI nearby in-game, tap the arrow in the upper-right corner once (for stops) or twice (for gyms) and then tap the square in the bottom-right that says "n photo(s)". It will bring up a screen of all the photos in #Niantic's database and allow you to upvote the one(s) you like best.

You can also vote on the photos for gifts you send or open: when the gift occupies the whole screen (just before you'd otherwise tap "send" or "open"), tap the photo and then the bottom-right square to access the #voting screen.

> If you prefer traditional #pronouns
Any one of them except for it. Although he isn't any less inaccurate than she, strict binomial #pronoun systems classify me firmly in the #masculine bucket.

> If you want to use #neopronouns (perhaps because you also wish to expand and normalize this vocabulary)
Anything that doesn't start with Z or X. If you want a specific #neopronoun to use on me, try vi/vim. An easy way to remember is that my paws can supply the #electrons you use to power your text editor.

Any #PoGo trainers from #Perth on here and want to PM me their friend code? I can you gifts that will give eggs that will provide 18,000 km each when traded with your local friends.

A wild ​ showed up on my front porch this afternoon. Christmas arrived early!

“As people start following more and more accounts on a social network, they reach a point where the number of candidate stories exceeds their capacity to see them all. Even before that point, the sheer signal-to-noise ratio may decline to the point that it affects engagement. Almost any network that hits this inflection point turns to the same solution: an algorithmic feed.”

It’s more than just capitalism that brought the algorithms.

And that hatted :driftblim: got me my fifth excellent curve throw in a row.

Thanks for the spam invite @korehaTaihen! I got my #shiny Giratina!

I also reached the new level cap yesterday afternoon

> Graph design problems are one-way mistakes in large part because users make them so. Most social media users don't unfollow people after following them. Much of this comes down to social conformity. It's awkward and uncomfortable to do so, especially if you'll run into them.
