Not really sci fi or anything but this newspaper:

There are definitely more ridiculous start-up ideas in the world. I guess the main thing you’d have to get around is that the parents wouldn’t want a random person watching their kids. But everything else sounds fucking awesome. As a parent, I might use it. I mean, in a pinch.

If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is!

Well, we don’t “know” for sure, because despite being in every episode, Boris Kodjoe is not credited with the rest of the cast in the opening credits. He’s a “Guest Star” in the end credits every week, which means he can be let go at any time.

Certain aspects of the Star Wars universe (FTL travel, force magic) are clearly impossible.

One time while driving home from Florida we (me, wife and 4 year old daughter) were heading west on I-10 somewhere past Beaumont where there is basically nothing around. My daughter says “daddy I have to go #2” and of course, there is no place in sight. After 15 minutes or so she’s crying because she has to go so bad…

who is gonna ride a bicycle 20 miles to work,do manual labor all day, then ride 20 miles back 9 hours later?

I’m a contractor. Do I need to move house every time I change contracts, or should I only accept contracts near where I live?

Also spouses working in locations that are further away. It’s hard enough to find housing near one job, much less find two jobs near each other and then housing near those two jobs.

I’m just waiting for season 4 to finally show up on Netflix. It was promised months ago.

outside of Cyndi Lauper’s “She Bop” and Tweet’s “Oops Oh My” rarely has self-pleasure resounded so brightly

We’re not quite sure what Selena did to get arrested, but it was all for her latest music video, as Selena repeated the scene several times.

Yup. It was funny to read the phrase “spam-ridden”. I never get spam on the email account address that I share only with my friends. I anticipate that sharing my contact information with vendors/world will eventually attract spam, regardless of method. So, I gladly send them to email where I have efficient tools to…

Plus in an office environment the older workers are more likely to have the seniority to get an office of their own, while younger workers are more likely to be in a cubicle farm and can more frequently just stand up to talk over the partition to whoever they need to communicate with.

“The vast majority of Americans agree what Planned Parenthood is doing is wrong.”

Where exactly did they conduct this survey? I work for an IT consultant company with a lot of huge clients, and you can rest assured that email is the lifeblood of every medium and large business. Texting does take place for company business, but generally has to be recorded at some point, but I have never seen apps…

As an old digital codger let me point out one the nice things about e-mail in this post-social media world. Now that most people have fled from e-mail for new media, the spam, phishing and worm levels have decreased considerably.

Hardly a digital divide. More that habits and needs change as you age.

Most of the 20-30 year olds I know have crap jobs in retail, food service or manufacturing/construction. Those jobs don’t really rely on email. You can’t help but meet with your colleagues in person. Of course they don’t use email. It isn’t like…

This is a generation of people whose days are ruled by a slow, annoying, spam-ridden app.
