I guess I’m not normal; I usually decide what I want to watch before I prepare my food.

Most people assume that the danger with eating raw cookie dough is the eggs, where in actuality it’s the uncooked flour (e. coli). 

Its got a little cream soda taste to it. It's not too different from normal coke tho

Yes! Gonna have to try it with Mike’s Hot Honey...

... you ever get the feeling that “below expectations” involves the same kind of magical math that makes the most successful films of all time never be profitable, except for the fact that all the suits get all the money from them?

When I think “raids”, I think of the traditional MMO raid where you assemble say, 40 people, each who have a responsibility of some kind to make the boss encounter a success(or failure if they underperform).

She sort of hits on the exact definition of being a gamer.  It’s about games being a defining element of your life, more than anything.  People who don’t feel that way about games aren’t really what I’d classify as gamers.  I don’t think it has anything to do with what games they’re playing.  And that’s OK!  Despite…

One Genshin Impact player I spoke with even created their own spreadsheet for “raising” their characters.

Being a “traditional” capital G Gamer before that was even a thing, I believe to some extent caring about what others think about your gaming habits is by itself self-defeating. I mean, outside of my friends we didn’t care who like Doom, or Space Quest or Space Harrier or Defenders or Phantasy Star. As I’ve grown…

You know you’ve made an incredibly boring product when even the internet can’t be bothered to get mad about it.

It’s the tactic of basing cocktails of all things off a show featuring high schoolers that gives me a bit of cringe.

Was he unaware he could just yank the modem, stuff it in his sock drawer, then plug it back in when he wanted to allow them to use internet again? Why go to such extremes to shutdown the internet? Just unplug the damn modem and hide it.

Most government bodies associated with radio frequencies/communication/etc do not mess around when comes to people illegally blocking communications.

Because taking a device means a confrontation and just cutting the internet creates plausible deniability. You can criticize this approach but sometimes even good parents decide certain certain fights just aren’t worth it. Hard to say whether this guy was a good parent or just lazy and reckless.

This, but you don’t even need to google it. You just take their devices away when it’s bedtime.

My mom is sensitive to wheat, not gluten, but the whole “gluten free” craze has led to a massive rise in foods she can eat, so as stupid as the people who are avoiding gluten for fantasy reasons are, they have actually made a positive impact on the market for those who are affected.

some sort of Catwoman who only robs dispensaries

This guys sounds like he was having a mental episode, which is tragic in and of itself.

Very different from your typical anti-masker or garden variety drunk.
