Separating gut reaction and instinct from personal, cultural and sociological bias is really difficult.
Take, for example, the piece on 20/20 many years ago to illustrate the bias women have towards short men. They arranged a police lineup environment with a bunch of average height men (between 5'8" and 6'2") and one…

my instincts are always wrong & yet oddly enough, the times that i decide to do the opposite turn out badly anyway.

I raised my kids not to swear until they were mid-to-late teens. Then I told them that it is not acceptable in mixed company, but among like-minded people, use it in moderation. Don’t become someone who can’t get through a sentence without ‘effin’ this’ or ‘effin’ that,’ because the potency of their cursing is lost.…

My daughter heard me swear as a child and when she started to consider adding them to her vocabulary we initially just told her not to use them. Then when she was a little older, I sat her down and explained to her that they are power words. They are actually useful and add meaning. “My car broke down” doesn’t convey…

so me and my wife have agreed to teach our kids, how to curse. Let me explain, we all curse and we all know there are rules of cursing. We aren’t teaching them the words, just some rules.

I am not really sure, I know locally the Nissan dealership here is a big leasing dealership and though I am not a fan of the vehicles, they’ve done a good job of connecting with the community and in small town USA that goes a long way. Toyota is a little better and Honda definitely has better ergonomics, neither one…

I drove almost the whole Nissan lineup for 2018 and none of them impressed me.

TIED OFF HIS TESTICLE AND PENIS WITH STRING TO KEEP HIS HARDON DURING SEX

Working in car sales and automobile photography I’ve had the chance to drive a bunch of cars this past year!

Buying a MacBook Pro. First real big disappointment with Apple. Expensive and delicate. Touchbar feature was all but useless and I suffered the phantom screen crack syndrome and had to pay an additional $700 to get a replacement. Touch ID was worthwhile so I sold the MBP as soon as I could and bought the new MacBook…

As usual, "better" depends. If I was having a playlist at a party, I'd use the normalizer at a pretty high setting to minimize jumps in volume without having to tweak it. If I was listening to music alone or very intensely, I'd shut it off!

Yeah, it’s a compressor. It naturally takes away the dynamic range, squeezing the audio so there are few peaks and valleys, and the output of songs is mostly the same.

That’s odd, where I live, all the workers at Target and Walmart also live locally. Wouldn’t shopping at Walmart help my neighbor?

It’s not limited to the holidays. Amazon has been deliberately lying about delivery times for orders for a couple of years now. I was an early Prime adopter and literally only buy from Amazon if the item is listed as Prime eligible. Items don’t show up and Amazon tries to tell me the item wasn’t Prime eligible. I…

Technically, they have a battery in them, but to avoid consumer confusion, Citizen call it a “power reserve.”
