After my daughter was born, my partner was going out with some friends, and my Mom (who is in her mid-70's) said something about “babysitting.” It’s a generational thing, so I didn’t get mad at her, but did say, “No, I’m just being a parent. No one calls it babysitting when Mom watches the kid(s) solo.” She never…

See also, any woman on my Facebook lavishing praise on her husband for “babysitting” for an evening, or this woman I ran into in the public the other night rolling her eyes that she’d never left the baby alone with her husband, hope he can handle it. Fuck the men who are such shitty fathers that they can’t be trusted…

Man, only once has it been an issue. Some lady got the store manager and I told him that if this is the only place to change my kid, this the place to change my kid.

Note: I’m white so, ya, I understand that this experience may vary based on, ya know, the bigotry of a particular place. 

Good point. Like I said, it’s a little funky but it’s fine.

“Or, you know, they could just be satisfied with the money they get from selling effectively the same game over and over until the next console generation...”

No, it's pretty normal at this point.  It's just another day in the life of living in America unfortunately.

Infinite. After Sandy Hook, where small children were the victims, all hope was lost. Not only did the USA double-down on not doing anything, most people accused the victims of being fake and the parents were just actors/actresses hired for the “anti-gun agenda”. To this day the parents are still harassed everywhere…

“Guns aren’t the problem. Look at Chicago, where there are strict gun crimes!”

absolutely agree...i hv a loved one doing last stint of 25...he got more time than most pedo/rapists and murderers.. absolute rediculous justice system all the way around

So much this. Not to mention, it is almost impossible for many to survive “legitimately” after incarceration. They have the stigma of their record, which severely limits employment opportunities, and generally have tons of fines and fees stacked on them that they have to pay. Not only are we not attempting to rehab…

Same thing as collectibility in other items. Rarity and condition. Several things determine rarity - cone-tops are fairly uncommon, as are welded sides. Limited runs obviously have value, as do cans produced in small amounts for whatever reason. Other can designs have interesting stories behind them. Might be time to…

As a collector of 1980s arcade periphenalia myself (Marquees, Bezels etc). I know what you’re talking about. Collectable-ness comes from Age + Rarity + Grown Up Kids. And I’m now as an arcade enthusiast starting to see a lot of the early 90s era stuff getting pricey. And i think that has to do with the kids from that…

My brother was a beer-can collector in the ‘70s. He has a very impressive collection (which sits in our basement because reasons). I’ve often thought about looking around to see if anyone is still trading these. Back in the day, some of them were pretty valuable.

I sell Pokemon cards as I have amassed a huge collection. The market is definitely flooded. I do a search in ebay and amazon for rares that I’m selling and there are always a lot of others selling the same thing.

That is what a lot of collectors don’t understand. People who collect things that everyone is collecting are not going to be worth anything due to how much supply of them are being horded.

Calibre is a must-have for organizing your ebooks. There’s also plugins for comics and magazine, etc. If you are not using Calibre, it is worth the learning curve to get it going, because the organization for your library by authors, books, and tags is really helpful, especially if you use multiple devices.

I have my Calibre library on Google Drive and that’s around 3000 books. I have never had an issue over copyright flags. I have also used Plex’s Cloud Sync on Drive, and never had an issue syncing movies from my server.

One of my all time favorite piano parts.

I can’t be the only one who saw the 4500 Geo limit and thought:
