My sister's grad party was supposed to be next weekend but she tested positive yesterday after hanging out with her friends last weekend. She lost her sense of smell and made a comment about it and my mom, who is an RN but last year left the hospital to work in outpatient cardiovascular rehab, told her she needed yo…

You telling me you don't know that one hippy guy who has been growing magic mushrooms in his shed out back?

I'd say the first person to walk by it after whoever tied it is the maximum amount of people that need to walk by before it gets reported.

It's not just Kotaku. I ran into the issue on Gizmodo and Jalopnik as well. It's a G/O Media Group thing because the company is probably still trying to recover from shooting itself in the foot and blowing up Deadspin and Splinter and driving off good talent through its shortsighted and unyielding focus on the…

Well damn it looks like my jig is up. Instead of buying CDs and MP3s I’ve been searching Twitch for clips of songs I want to hear because my ideal way of listening to them is at background level with a streamer talking over the top. You win this round RIAA!

I agree with all 3 of your points. It’s a running stereotype in my small city, and probably more universally, that most cops on the force wanted to be military but couldn’t cut it or fell back on joining the force after their other ambitions fell short. I personally know three people that joined the force in the last…

I appreciate the sentiment they expressed in their post but I wish we could protest without burning down businesses and looting. My coworker showed me a snap video she got from a friend who was protesting in Indianapolis and people were grabbing TVs out of an electronics store. And it wasn't a big box chain store (not…

I respectfully disagree. A fried egg with crispy brown edges on the whites is delicious. 

I believe Gordon Ramsay has explained the difference in his treatment of Masterchef and Hell’s Kitchen contestants as the Masterchef contestants are amateurs while Hell’s Kitchen contestants are professionals competing for a job so he holds them to a much higher standard. 

Determing sexual chemistry early on is pretty important in the online dating scene. I’m not saying hook up by date 3 but you can usually get a good feel for intimacy compatability via making out and petting like the asker described. And even if they were more direct to hopefully head off other suitors it might not…

Juse because they’re not being used now because of the current travel landscape doesn’t mean that they weren’t used a lot before. And these companies are probably going to try to offload the cars on the lower end of the quality spectrum in their fleets and hang on to the ones in better shape for when demand picks back…

While I don’t disagree with your sentiment, quoting the average lifespan is irrelevant. That number is the average life expectancy at birth and factors in infant mortality which tends to be high without modern medicine. Just making it to adulthood would likely qincrease life expectancy into the 40's and 50's. And a…

I’m rewatching The Wire with my girlfriend who is watching for the first time. Stringer was her favorite character (largely just because Idris Elba) and she managed not to spoil his death even though after she got blindsided by Wallace’s death she started seeing if characters she liked made it through each season.…

Living in Indiana all my life I never realized that pork tenderloin sandwiches are pretty much unheard of outside of Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and Iowa (I’ve seen some places in Cincinnati offer it, but Cincinnati is basically part of Kentucky, fight me), until I suggested the sandwich to some out of towners one…

I came here to quote the timeless Mitch Hedberg.

My mom bought a 2016 Wrangler because she liked the way it looks. I’ve driven it a few times around the city and man do I hate how it feels. I feel like it doesn’t want to stay centered in lane and the steering is “bouncy”. It always takes me a few minutes to adjust after coming from driving my car. I can’t imagine…

The local restaurant/pub I work at has been showing signs of mismanagement since before the shutdown so I don't have high hopes for it staying afloat through the rest of the year. A big chunk of revenue came on Friday and Saturday nights when we had live music and a dance floor, and we can't have live music until the…

From scanning over the COPPA FAQ it looks like there are mechanisms in place to allow kids under 13 to use online services, but I'd imagine if they went through those channels in this case they'd essentially be admitting that their service is also aimed at children younger than 13 and would have to overhaul their…

No, it has to do with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Epic is just trying to cover their ass legally, not morally.
