There’s an easier way: just ask them “Why do you think that?” after literally every sentence they say. Offer nothing. Bounce it all back. I’ve never had to ask it more than three times in a row before they gave up and walked away. It’s a real time saver.

The best way is not to argue.  Especially in online forums, there are people who feel they must address every point an asshole brings up.  Just because you stop responding to them does not mean they have won the argument.

Welcome to modern America, where I’m right even if it kills you.

Symptoms of a culture riddled with Anti-Intellectualism and simple greed, where our major societal institutions promote the acceptance of “Alternative Facts” (a.k.a. blatant lies) in the name of profit and politics.

At my previous job we all worked very close together in a relatively small room. One of my co-workers had migraines that were triggered by exposure to strong perfumes, so reasonably enough, management announced a new policy banning perfume/scented lotion/etc. Two of my other co-workers were so absolutely offended by…

Yep. It’s what they do in Europe. Or they use comforters with washable duvet covers as blanket and sheet both. 

My dad used to say that having children is hereditary. If you don’t have kids, chances are they won’t have kids either.

Kids suck.  Always have, always will.  And we were all kids once. 

Hello! I just read your comment.. and I wanted to let you know that I had your same problem when I started out, & after trying several different brands.. I found that there is only one brand of CBD that works for me- and it must be “full spectrum CBD”.. and it does need to include the Trace Amounts of THC- (which are…

This article is timely because I just ordered CBD oil for the first time to try. I think it’s true of any medication that it will work for some people and not for others, and while the studies are limited the ones that are out do show some promise. I do know lots of people who swear by it for their dogs, especially…

Nuh.

No offense to David here, but “That One Privacy Site” has already done their homework and lays it all out for you. Fully downloadable in xls, ods or csv formats. I ended up picking PIA and have been using it for about 2 years now Very happy.

FWIW, Wirecutter is a big fan of IVPN and TorGuard; vpnMentor likes NordVPN and ExpressVPN; That One Privacy Site seems to like IVPN, Mullvad, NordVPN, Trust.Zone, Vpnbook, and WireGuard; and RestorePrivacy likes ExpressVPN, Perfect Privacy, and NordVPN (top three).

Totally understood. I’m considering making this a two-parter and updating our previous “top 5 VPNs” article based on the results of this guide’s steps. It’s a big task, but I think it’d be useful.

I think in 10-20 years people whose parents made smart technology decisions like the ones you list will be in a different socioeconomic class than the masses who will be addicted to smartphones since they were in middle school.

Good points all. I especially like #3. My kids are 6, 4, and 1, so I have a bit of time before I have to make this decision. We strictly monitor their screen time as is.  What will technology be like in 8-10 years when we’re considering our first kid’s phone?

I’ve found that all phone updates are pretty minimal. I think we’ve hit a plateau in phone hardware.

One day, having experienced a kind of weird/cool incident and thinking my profile was kind of stale anyway, I wrote up the incident and put that as my profile, instead of saying I enjoy food, music and ‘to travell’. One girl messaged me and challenged me that the incident was not truthful, and then on our date accused…

The complete sentences are such a big deal. The biggest turnoff when I was online dating was the inability of most of the men to write complete, grammatically correct, understandable sentences in their profiles. I literally messaged my now-boyfriend because his profile was several paragraphs of nerdy stuff in…
