Anyone who goes to the effort of using lasers to communicate with one of the smart speakers in my house has earned the right to adjust my thermostat or turn my lights off. I salute you, laser hacker!

I get annoyed with the lawsuits that claim consumers are confused by things like almond "milk" and veggie "burgers." But calling this "Just Egg" seems like it's intentionally trying to confuse shoppers.

WE ARE IN A UNION!

Some people are saying dyslexia, but while your husband may not be illiterate, he definitely sounds like he is functionally illiterate.

I suggest you see a doctor, cause you got a case of the “stupid af”s.

I would not doubt it. A good reminder for me to be more thoughtful about how I speak of myself. 

In historically set games i tend to change the language to the local language, with english subtitles.  But as my anime avatar betrays, im a dirty weeb and am very much used to reading subtitles quickly and automatically.  YMMV.

I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that there are people who care about such things. 

Heaven forbid people aren’t born with Stellarwind levels of PC building knowledge. 

No one’s born knowing all the little tips and tricks. My very first build, I had trouble getting the new case open. (Yeah, yeah, I’m an idiot.) In my defense, it was kind of a weird case, there really was a trick to it, and the instructions on how to open it were packed in a carton of parts that was inside the closed…

People have to learn from somewhere.

i don’t believe she meant this as a literal situation of sitting there and watching grandma tear into a hunk of roast beast, but as a genteel way to offer to still participate in this tradition without causing a huge fight. Also as vegans we are surrounded by people eating flesh every day and you build up a bit of a…

this is a meat-eater trope that does not actually happen in real life, and if you think vegans are pushy, please meet my friends “the other commenters on this post who are offended by a lifestyle change that does not personally affect them at all”

why are your kitchen shears so dirty that you can’t use them on food, as intended?

Having learned languages the slow way (courses, reading, watching foreign films, practicing with native speakers, etc.), I recommend Fluent Forever by Gabriel Wyner for those who want to save a lot of time:

First, don’t think of it like you’re learning a new language. Just imagine you’re expanding your vocabulary. So instead of looking at a table and saying “to yourself that’s a table and table in Spanish is ‘mesa’,” just look at it as a “mesa.” English is full of words that have the same meaning. This is another…

My advice, as someone who’s been on the receiving end of such comments: do not express this sentiment, period. It has the effect of minimizing another human being’s journey of sexuality and identity - often a long and arduous one - to your own observations and suspicions. To put it another way: there’s no need to make…

In the case of the couch, the two Sims’ bodies would pop apart as the couch did and continue their separated-yet-conjoined coitus in animated unison until they were done, at which point they’d pop back together at the point where they “boarded” the couch. Woohoo always led to a lot of bugs in part because (as your…

The guy is in real estate. He’s just pissed they’re not giving their money over to him is all. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone’s finances except for the fact that the millennial generation isn’t spending their money in his industry.

I guess I've always been a bit grossed out by the "just scrape and scrub with salt" method. Well, maybe not grossed out, but a bit...concerned (said in my best Fred Savage in The Princess Bride voice)
