Please, for the love of God, do not stop saving for your own retirement to pay off your mortgage and save for your kids’ college expenses. Yes retirement is likely a ways off in the future, but time is exactly what any good 401(k) or other retirement investment account needs. You can finance college expenses if needed…

But, then you’ve got to go to Applebee’s.

If the device requires the driver to periodically re-blow into it after the vehicle is started, they should design it so that it can be done while the vehicle is in motion and not a hinderance to driving. The driver already used poor judgement once to end up with the device, expecting they will pull over to re-test…

District Taco. A few years ago it was a little trailer taco stand getting run off by security in Rosslyn. Now it’s a regional powerhouse with something like a dozen locations through the area - and it’s hard to think of a business that deserves success more. Seriously, just close your eyes and point at something on…

I’ve only been to DC once so don’t really have a hack.

Not a fan of shiny rocks, but I can respect posts of engagement pics that include the couple with the ring as a symbol of their commitment. As the author stated, the occasion should be centered on the people, not “the pressshiss.”

I am fine with doing emotional labor to tend to my own relationships, and in fact I need to do more of it. I think it gets problematic if you’re asked to be a bridge between people, like, for example, one’s partner and their mother. That I’m not willing to do. I was actually just thinking that the demise of the…

As an emotionally distant Uncle, this sounds like a good idea. I can just throw a 20 in a card and address it to my niece or nephew. Good to go.

Especially since all my nieces and nephews get all sorts of junk from their parents to begin with, that me buying them extra junk sounds awful. So a birthday card with a 20 is…

I’m a guy, but I do care about maintaining relationships — especially those which are mostly long-distance or once-in-a-while. Thanks for giving me an idea of how to deal with cards. I was about to have a bunch of letterpress personal stationery made up (and I still may), but now I know that I can buy the cards I…

yep but be careful. they’ll call you a racist for having such an opinion.

The point, though, is that it just doesn’t belong here. This whole site used to be about....you know....life hacking. Now it’s a platform for more socio-political editorial crap than anything actually useful.
