Bummer, I just started commenting here a month or so ago after reading Gawker for years because the new Kinja system allowed my posts to actually be visible and to break through the "seniority" aspect of the other commenters. Looks like it's back to just reading.

I haven't been to the dentist in 5 years and am preparing to make an appointment. I brush my teeth twice a day, but am starting to get bad breath. What am I looking at? A lot of expense? A lot of pain? I stopped going to the dentist because I had a traumatic last visit, but it's getting out of control now.

Any suggestions for getting switched from hourly to salaried?

I love the perfect pinch. One of life's little perfect moments.

Replace "Video Games" with "Drinking" and I'm the same way.

My thoughts exactly. I bought my last car new, and was going to keep it long past the warranty, but when the warranty expired, I was dropping $500 here, $200 there, $800 here for the next 3 years so I finally traded. A predictable monthly payment is way better than unexpected repair costs. Totally plan on trading this

WOW. They are so cheap! I think I paid $8 for like a 30 pack at the grocery.

Wait- a Gawker media site posting something about Uber other than how terrible they are? WHAT IS HAPPENING???

I loved my Aztek. Best vehicle I ever owned. No joke.

The whole "focusing on outcomes not being as bad as you think they are" method doesn't always work, like with me. My anxiety is brought on by medical issues (I have heart arrhythmia). The possible outcome for that? Death. I've found that sitting stationary is never good, because you can focus on your thoughts.

I just purchased my first home, and if I could do it again, I would get a more thorough home inspection. A lot of things aren't noted on the inspection. For instance, there was water hookup and ductwork for the washer and dryer, but no 220 power outlet or drain. Not noted on the inspection because it's not crucial to

Yeah, that's basically what I use it for. It's like a curated porn stream.

I just bought my first house and all of the appliances were included except for the fridge, so I bought one on 4th of July and it's DELIVERED THIS WEEKEND. I've never had an ice maker before. So excited. Thanks for listening.

I was the victim of lunch theft a few times, once someone opened my vitamin water and just took a single sip (to try it out) and put the cap back on. We eventually figured out who it was when the department moved into the breakroom temporarily during remodeling, and one guy would come in and do the whole "open the

Yes, which is partially at the heart of the massive GM recall scandal.

I vaguely remember reading that guide on how to woot-off that you linked to back in 2010! Oh the good ole days, I would absolutely get no work done on those days. Then I would race home to keep watching. Never once got a bag o crap, but I did get the woot-off lights and the flying monkey! Thanks for the trip down

I just saw Mary Lynn Rajskub's stand up comedy, she's funny. She did a meet and greet photo op afterward and I was soooooo starstruck. She was joking with me and I was literally just like "haha, ok bye." and walked out of the club like a zombie. My life is complete. Chloe is probably my favorite character of all

Valid point. You win.

...or just watch the fireworks show. You'll never show these pictures to anyone, and never look at them again yourself.

Do we have any idea on pricing yet? My sister is in the market for a smallish SUV with 4WD, and I want her to wait on this.
