The similarities between that 40 year old incident and the annual flu vaccine are definitely enough to justify an end to flu shots. Smart!

Why? They have tried polite for many years, this is for the selfish assholes who need to listen up. If that does not include you then see plenty of other politely asking articles and facts out there.

Solid pile of bullshit right there. If I didn’t know anything about science, I might have been tricked into thinking you did.

Much of the boring slog part of the game is due to two near-universal house rules. Fix those two, and the game moves much faster. Fines should go back to the bank, not to a pot won any time someone lands on Free Parking. And every property is supposed to be sold the first time someone lands on it; if the person who…

While this is all good device, a lot of smart home gadgets require being on the same wifi as the rest of your stuff for you to manage them or use them... I mean I’m sure you could use some port forwarding and such to make it work anyway but that kind of defeats the purpose.

Meanwhile in the 80s those Golden Girls were buying condoms in bulk.

Some more successful people than I am have told me, in an unintentionally condescending way, that everyone has the same amount of time, only 24 hours a day, and it’s up to us to make something of ourselves with that time.

Yes. My mom always said this when I was younger and for some reason it stuck with me even though I didn’t really understand why it was important. I just knew to stay away. Thanks, ma!

Thanks for this post. Everything you said also feels like it could have also been taken from the pages of Never Eat Alone, by Keith Ferrazzi. His book was immensely helpful when I was trying to find a new job while in school for my MBA.

I’ve told this story here before, but I once played in a charity golf outing, and the caddy for our group had previously worked at one of Trump’s courses. This was several years ago, before the possibility of him being our president became a nightmarish reality. He said that it was known amongst the caddies that if…

Friends give me shit for reading the manual of every gadget I get (including those that come with a house - manuals are online people, Google them) but this is why. I want to know how to use the stuff I own.

Naaaaaaw, Chief. When you take on a pet, you take on a responsibility for that pet for its LIFE. You don’t bail on a pet when it’s sick or sad or inconvenient. You spend money and time and love on it. Any pet - dog, cat, iguana, llama.

Yeah, seriously. “She won’t get rid of her two dogs she loves, she has a dog addiction.” Buddy.

You can pry my dogs from my cold, dead arms. Like hell they’re staying outside during evenings, disrupting the neighborhood by barking at the door endlessly— they’re pack animals and need their people. Nor would I lob them off indefinitely onto someone else while this dude works through his shit. It’s way too easy for…

Every good interviewer, Oprah, Cavett, etc., has said that their role is to stand in for the unknowing or even clueless audience member, not to assume every one was on the same page.

Pence’s head would have exploded if only Pastor Franklin ended his sermon with this...

Our beagle is a MASTER hunter when it comes to finding discarded Dortios bags.

If you want a good Islay try Ardbeg 10. Smokey and full flavored but really good. Give Oban a try too for a good Highland malt. I prefer the 14 over the18. Like you I found Yamiazaki 12 overpriced and bland.

I’m not a theater person, but “IT JUST WOULDN’T BE THE SAME, BECAUSE EVERYONE ON STAGE AND BACKSTAGE WOULD BE UNEMPLOYED.”

No, it’s just the tip!
