Oh good. I was hoping that children could get slightly less convenient to have aboard a plane. Now we all get to deal with the family of 5 at the gate who didn’t figure this out when they booked their tickets and wants to play musical chairs with rows 9-14 at boarding. 

You left out the saltier cousin of ‘turn the other cheek’, which is ‘escalate to absurdity in your first retaliation. Punch well below the belt... hell, punch below their feet if you have to. Find their most glaring insecurity and attack it mercilessly with the intent to emotionally devastate this person.’

I feel like these types of posts are always the bullshit HR version of what to do in a situation that doesn’t actually do anything.

Yeah, I can read and hear all of those things about cookie dough, and it doesn’t matter. I’m still going to eat a considerable amount every time I make cookies. 

Generally articles such as these promote an impractical sterile mindset about food. The reality is that there’s a degree of acceptable filth in our food. Imagine how expensive food would be if it were all perfect or sterilized. The acceptable yield would be so small and we’d have a incredibly small food supply.

Counterpoint: if you don’t move every year, and have more than a room or two worth of stuff (i.e. you’re not in your 20s anymore) then pay for a mover.

I have a buddy who I grew up with. He was fucking poor, like, my mom used to pack an extra lunch for me to give him, and sometimes he’d come to my house and leave with a bag full of my clothes poor. Anyway, this kid got his shit together and got himself through school and got a decent job. He managed to buy a rental…

I have been very fortunate, my landlord has been really cool. When I moved in, I told him that he would only hear from me if I couldn’t fix a problem myself. I’ve been here since 2004, he’s never raised my rent (which includes utilities). At the beginning of the pandemic, I voluntarily raised my rent to offset my…

There are SOME good landlords, but they’re the exception.

Still, you might contend that not all landlords are evil individuals. But there have to be good ones, too. You might argue that every profession is going to have a few bad apples. Here’s my take: You know what group of people probably has a low tolerance for that “bad apple” argument? Perhaps a generation who watched …

At least this pointless column wasn’t presented as a slideshow.

2 sticks of butter, 1/3 cup of duck fat (usually freezer section of fancy grocery store), at room temperature whip together with hand/stand mixer. There, no need to watch video now.

In what sense is wearing a mask while in crowded, indoor spaces not “living your life?” even if COVID is “essentially just another version of the flu” now, do you want that? Have you gotten the flu recently? Because it sucks massive ass.

I think there are some valid concerns with cruises in terms of disease outbreaks or the general being trapped issue, but some of these are silly. Taking a normal vacation by car or plane also has its own risks, many of which are far more likely than the literally one in a million chance of falling overboard. Also,…

Welcome to the New Lifehacker... Same great name, absolutely zero discernable value whatsoever!

So what does the privacy policy of the app say?

I agree, and in some situations, acting puritanical about profanity is viewed as worse than the use of profanity.

Counterpoint: sounding “Professional” at work is gatekeeping. Your linguistic patterns are not a meaningful measure of your qualities as a worker.

The only tip anyone should take from this is you shouldn’t take work tips from the internet. This “article” could have been condensed to 3 words: “Know your audience”. It really is as simple as that.
