They have a house hunter show where they buy “the worst house in the best neighborhood and fix it up.” It’s called Fixer Upper.

The Gaines’ show is the only house hunting/remodeling show I like at all. Seriously, I have a hard time feeling sorry for people who can’t get that 1000 sq/ft chef’s kitchen with their measly $875k budget. If you have that much to spend on a house I don’t want to hear you complaining about ANYTHING. Fixer Upper people…

You know she’s only half Asian, right?

He never advocated for decreasing taxes while increasing government services. He purposefully used that as an example of an impossible standard, like the house on the moon scenario. I promise you, if you read all the comments top to bottom like I did you’ll come to the same conclusion.

Someone said something about wanting a house on the moon and compared that to smoj22's position of wanting women’s rights, etc. while still advocating for lower taxes and smaller government. He said wanting lower taxes and smaller government while ALSO wanting bigger government programs would be more accurately…

So you’re trying to pull the whole “Relax, bro! It was a joke!” thing, then you proceed to make the most convoluted and irrational defense of your argument, all while still demonstrating the typing and logical reasoning skills of a particularly dim pre-teen.

You completely missed smoj22's point with that post. Completely.

You seem to equate civility with apathy. This is wrong. I care very deeply about a relatively small number of issues. That doesn’t mean I’m going to belittle and hurl pejoratives at people who share an opposing viewpoint. I can discuss my views and even disagree with yours and do it all with civility. Civility is not…

You’re resorting to arguing semantics.

I think the smell of ignorance is wafting from your direction, good sir. You see, you’re assuming that people who travel for work dress a certain way. As I said, I travel for work frequently and I usually wear flip flops on the plane. There are lots of jobs out there that aren’t just office jobs. Why would traveling…

Let’s have a Sally Kohn / Ben Shapiro debate posted here. That should stir up the comments section! Since Lifehacker is doing politics now let’s do it right.

I think the problem is many people don’t view it as politics anymore. They’re so sunk into their views and beliefs that they view them as the only valid viewpoint, i.e. reality & truth. Unassailable and beyond question. People put their views on things like guns, health care, and gender discussions on the same level…

Thank you for saying this. I was also duped by the veneer of “free and open” slapped on top of the cesspool underneath. That cesspool is “government interference.” Yes, monopoly laws exist and are good things. Beyond that I don’t think the government should be sticking its fingers into everything because the…

Why don’t they do it? Because it makes SENSE to do it. That and there are 497 million layers of red tape every idea has to go through, so the only ones that make it through are the ones that get people re-elected or promoted.

They don’t want your batteries in checked baggage. I travel with power tools and always have to carry the batteries in my carry on baggage because Li-Ion batteries can be extremely dangerous if they leak and light on fire. The policy is mostly due to the crappy Chinese knock-off hoverboards that were exploding left…

I travel for work at least once a month and I also only use slip-on shoes to go through security. If your snide question was meant to imply that people traveling for work are usually dressed up, may I counter with another douchey question? Ever heard of slip-on dress shoes?

I think the first part of the vampire’s brush-off script is great:

This is a good saying to keep in mind for any discussion you have on any topic ever. Yes, you probably already have an opinion based on something resembling facts that you came across at some point in your past. However, those facts could be inaccurate, outdated, misunderstood, or flat out not facts in the first…

I just got back from a trip to Mexico with my wife and our 3 kids (twin pre-K and one baby only a few weeks old). Our experience on the planes was amazing. The airports in between were a NIGHTMARE. The twins were fine on the plane; they watched shows on a tablet, we read books, we colored, we had snacks, it was…

I clicked this article because the words “purposeful flop” made me think there was something deeper going on, like she purposefully released a garbage album to make some kind of point. Heck, maybe that’s what the story will eventually be. As for the music it just does absolutely nothing for me. Sounds a lot like so…
