I got a Nintendo Switch for my kid.

I was on unemployment two years ago and it was nothing like that. It lasted for up to 6 months, it was less than a quarter of what I made (I could afford rent and literally nothing else), and I was required to provide some level of proof that I was looking. (I had to call in weekly and tell them I documented my…

This is a bit weird because this article is kind of talking about me. After a bad breakup when I was 19 where I lost most of my friends I slipped into a deep depression and developed horrible anxiety. Between the ages of 19 and 25 I did basically nothing with my life but play World of Warcraft, the game was a symptom…

I can and do feel deep sorrow for them.

It’s true that not everyone can simply have “self-control;” it’s just more complicated for some people - brain chemistry and all that. Video game addiction, like any other addiction, can be real and can have terrible effects if a person is predisposed.

Evernote as a word processor? It is blatantly terrible at formatting. It’s a step above notepad, I suppose. But honestly not by much. And I say this as a paying subscriber. I would never use it to create full documents.

I was in a “discussion” with someone on imgur the other day about why maybe a federal standard for teaching isn’t a bad thing because without it, some states may teach the Bible as true word. Their argument was “That doesn’t happen anywhere!” (which is kind of the point of my argument...) but this is the sort of shit…

A science blog posting articles about science policy? GET ME THE FAINTING COUCH!

Oh I let him go all right.

These look like Nutritional Facts and I don’t look at those.

We get it, you’re gay....no one cares :/

Yes.

Nah.

Shoveling snow is the most sysiphean of endeavors. It’s just going to snow again anyway and, eventually, it’s all going to go away. Yet it must be done.

Here is another telling report, I frequently use the Kids Count Data for reporting on indicators and outcomes for children. Kids Count Data is one of the most widely-used sources and data for Florida indicates that after children with unknown racial/ethnic makeup, 28% of non-Hispanic Black children experience…
