Oof. I do this. I will stop. My husband will thank you. 

The terms may be a few weeks but often-and especially with this loosening of restrictions-people end up not being able to repay them on time or taking out another payday loan to pay back the first. In which case the interest starts to get a lot more expensive.

I prefer the URL to the headline.

This is an interesting calculator, though I wish it would look at the impact of state income taxes/cost of living. I live in Texas and got what seemed to be a great offer in San Francisco. It would have been super valuable to have a tool like this but that could help compare salaries and bonuses etc. as they relate to…

This is really why a lot of people think science is “bullshit.” “One week they’re telling us not to wear masks, then they’re telling us to wear masks, now they’re telling us we’ve been wearing the WRONG masks.” These people then discount science completely because they “can’t make up their mind.” They don’t realize…

Just a two-pound sausage log, wrapped in a tortilla

Hell yeah

I’m late to the party here, but as a parent of black children, one of the first things I drilled into my children was not to touch anything in a store unless I specifically told them to put it in our cart. There was one occasion in the Disney store where my youngest,who is now 7, walked out of the store with a plastic…

No one called them Dad Jokes for most of my life. We just called them Groaners and everyone told them.

After having 3 kids, neither of us wanted them in our bed at any point. The kids slept though the night after a couple weeks to a few months and we never had issues. They were all breast-fed for a year each. We never had to deal with a kid not wanting to leave, or either of us being paranoid of rolling over on a…

I feel like a lot of lists like this automatically position white as better than people of every other race. It’s like a weird racical noblesse oblige thing that I feel like reienforces white people to think that they are better.

At the very least, it’s some West Side Story-grade drama.

My wife’s school is 99.9% white and 60%+ of the children need assistance with food costs.

When lists reach this point, I think they get to where they’re no longer helpful and start actually encouraging awkwardness and cultural/class differences more than offering solutions or awareness. If you’re a half-decent human being, this should be well beyond obvious. But if we were all half-decent human beings,…

My dad (a pretty conservative Boomer) used to travel for work a lot in the 90s and was SO proud of his rainbow-colored strap that always made his suitcase stand out on the carousel. Then suddenly he stopped using it about 10 years ago. I have absolutely no idea why. ;)

I’m very skeptical, especially with the stock market’s current surge. Until 2Q earnings season (in late July) I don’t think anyone can really tell what Covid has done. And we surely can’t tell what it might do in the fall.

This was what I was sure I wanted in high school and college. Then I HAD a relationship with drama and realized, actually, it’s not fun to continuously be fighting and making up (and, in my case) dodging things being thrown at my head.

Some people are just really moved by how many JD Power awards Chevy has.

And why isn’t the segment called “Josh Gab!”

I had the same reaction to the $500-to-$550 thing. One thing Uralil explained that didn’t make it into this post is that it’s a matter of every little bit helping the consumer. Since the rollover cap is tied to inflation, this increase now will be followed by further increases (so instead of 2021's cap being $550,…
