The best use of cast iron skillet is to hang it from a hook on your kitchen island to impress people and give the illusion that you actually use cast iron skillets to cook. You don’t have the time to be cleaning that @#$%

I feel like I’ve read that before, the laughing at them when Microsoft offered to buy them. It’s weird, without Nintendo’s constant attempt at fun innovations in the gaming world - I’d have less stupid peripherals that take up space, but we’d probably all have much more boring consoles - if they even made it out of…

God help me (and my family) if I’m ever in a publicly visible position where people give a shit what college me/me 5 years ago/me 1 year ago wrote somewhere.
