So now it’s “pretentious” to use a word or phrase correctly? I mean, sure, language changes over time. So why bother with any rules? If I say “kewl” instead of “cool” you know what I mean, therefore what is the point of spelling any word corektli? See, you knew I meant “correctly.” No need for pesky rules. And if you…

People still can’t be bothered to use the correct versions of “your and you’re” or “there, their and they’re” and it increasingly seems like people just don’t care anymore.

I have done the exact same thing. I had to scour the internet for some replacement files and some were personal and gone forever. Definitely not doing this hack.

Who is this for, anyway? I don’t know anyone who has the confidence to delete things without a safety, can’t be bothered to empty the recycle bin but would take the initiative to delete it.

Why would anyone do this? The OS manages the size of the Recycle Bin either automatically or per your preferences. You don’t have to manage it at all - it doesn’t matter how much “clutter accumulates for no good reason”.  It’s a valuable safety net that there’s no good reason to remove.

Yeah this article is a terrible idea. A little redundancy is never a bad thing. Why not have it so can recover accidental deleted from Recycle Bin and failing that, recover from cloud storage. Its a solution that is guaranteed to generate greater problems later.

Yeah, I don’t see a need to take the safety net away.  Not sure there’s a real benefit.  Easier to remember emptying the trash.

You’re suddenly introducing another potential source of bacteria—raw egg residue—into the place where you store your eggs. If you think that any remaining eggs are safe just because their shells are intact, think again.

I’ve been doing this my entire cooking life. My Dad (whom I learned to cook from) and grandmother both put shells right back in the carton as they broke open eggs. Always seems less messy than eggy stuff getting all over the counter/floor on the way to the trash can. Then when the eggs are used up, I throw the whole…

It fits into the range, but is absolutely not very funny.

It surely depends on the store, but when I worked at Safeway in 2011-12 we were supposed to offer carryout service to every customer instead of trying to judge who might need it.

If someone called me “seasoned” I would honestly take that as a compliment. I get how a number of these are ageist but calling someone a “seasoned professional” or something like that is not ageism imo.

Picture it: your office is doing a Super Bowl pool, going to a team lunch, or collecting for a group baby shower gift. And someone asks: Do you have Paypal? What’s your Zelle? Don’t be that guy. People don’t want to check multiple different apps and accounts to make sure they got reimbursed. Just get Venmo.

There’s no way that anyone actually considers Pinterest as social media right?

It’s just a bunch of dead links to other content, and a popup demanding that you log in if you want to scroll down the page.

All of this to me seems to be someone who is convinced that being youth is intrinsically better than age, and that everyone who is old somehow wants to hide it and appear young.

Most people aren’t sociopathic enough to succeed in sales.

Few thoughts here.

I’m pretty sure we’re just supposed to call them vaginas.

Honestly, everything you describe sounds like tinnitus. We often think it’s just ringing, but ticking, clicking, and “wooshing” are all potential sounds.
