FWIW, this white person did NOT choose to ride the crazy train, and is just as disappointed as you are.

I would happily pay the United States Postal Service to be my ISP. That should have been what happened in the first place.

I have a feeling the combination of COVID and Trump will end a ton of irritating family traditions for good.

Re: Tantrums by adults over holiday hosting

My sister in law is throwing a fit that my pregnant wife and mother of a toddler doesn’t want to travel 1000 miles for her new born’s baptism. Oh well. 

Stand firm. Do you live with someone? Thanksgiving for Two is my favorite way to celebrate it. I’ve never done Thanksgiving for One, but I imagine it’s just a fun getting to make only the things I like.

“I can’t come to Thanksgiving. It’s unsafe to gather in large groups.”

Ditching holiday plans isn’t evil - it’s a reflection of your acceptance of reality and your belief in science.

Not evil, just common sense.  The evil bit comes in when you call the inviters grandma killers and report them to the public health department. 

We canceled our family holiday trip months ago. That was no problem. What I find fascinating are the people who are trying to visit us. That’s a hard no. We’ve turned away parents who would need to fly across the country and parents who could drive but won’t quarantine before coming. It’s understandable our parents…

Ain’t no “kind of” about it. Portholes are really pushing my buttons.

I really kind of love this.

I have the TP Link Kasa smart plugs since they were available. I have the HS-110 and it’s been rock solid. I also own one of the smaller smart plugs, a white bulb, and a RGB bulb.

For many of these people, their faith is performative. Calling yourself a “good Christian” and going through the motions is what matters. No need to actually engage with what any of it actually means, unless you’re cherrypicking passages to wield as a cudgel against whatever group you don’t like. Never mind the fact…

One word to change you life: Bidet.

Geeeeeeet the fuck outa here with this bullshit...IT’S A FUCKING VIDEO GAME! I give two fucks about your “teammates” and the fact it’s “live”... get your ass up and tell your teammates you gotta go if you want to keep your damn games any longer. This is some “viral” ass parenting bullshit methodology to make himself…

I imagine if you were to order nachos in Canada this is what you would get.

Liberty mutual tracked 3 things.  Hard acceleration, hard braking, and driving between midnight and 4am.  In looking at my stats, i was dinged for hard braking a few times.  Avoiding a collision with a deer, being cut off twice, and someone in front of me slamming on their brakes due to ducks crossing the road.

Exactly. ! Too many people want to believe that whatever the tech is, it’s just perfect the way it was designed, solve the problem it’s supposed to, and can’t ever be wrong... Nor would/could those tasked with monitoring said tech ever use it in a nefarious manner in any way, ever.
