Catan is far from unconventional, it is essentially the Monopoly of board game geeks :)

Wouldn’t a better name be the Shirley Temple Black?

With a title like that I expected some tips on how to identify more rugged construction across lines, like looking at how the draws are built and stuff. Silly me!

I’d think Clerks would have made the list. Say what you will about Kevin Smith’s abilities as a filmmaker, but his debut certainly led to a huge boom in independent chatter-fests.

And no peeing in the pool!

Oh, don't stigmatize it by calling it that. 

I think a distinction should be made between real food writers and “influencers.”

I lost power in San Antonio for 70 hours. Fortunately someone on Reddit suggested collecting the snow in ziplock bags and packing it in the fridge and freezer. Fortunately I had 7 gallon size zip lock bags. It served two really good purposes. Of course, it kept the food cold in the fridges and freezers. It also…

Well aren’t you just a paragon of virtue. If only everyone could just be as good as you, there would simply be no sociological issues to confront anymore. We just would have worked all our asses off (which we obviously don’t do now...) and used our brains more! Simple! Amirite? Man, I wish I could be more like you.…

On the other hand, if you’re gonna do it for the dog, maybe you could do it for the young, confused, sick child, too. “Toughen the fuck up and take your meds” is not a concept I have seen most 2-year-olds to understand, but ymmv.

Patchwork

Still creepy.

Just saw a post from a reasonable friend on FB who said the wealth of Bernie mems Is just people breathing again and I tend to believe that. When was the last time people collectively had a long hard laugh and shared something that wasn’t tragic or disheartening. Sure, It’s reached critical mass, but It’s cool. Let It…

“Are those the...”

They are so desperate for clicks that they have “Click to Continue Reading” and “Click to get Pending”, “Click to Show all Pending”, occasional pop-ups that require a click because the screen if frozen. I would be willing to go to a site and just click 12 or 15 times so they have the necessary clicks they want and I…

A friend turned me onto a strategy that has served me well for Facebook at least. Unfriend people on their birthday. It may seem cruel, but instead of spending time going through all those various lists and unfriending 30+ people at a time, I just wait for that day’s birthdays to pop up. If I don’t feel the need to…

Didn’t it take making $150,000 a year the get nothing at all? Don’t really care where you live. Tone deaf comment.

I feel like articles like this need to fine tune a little. There is ZERO point in talking to someone who thinks Trump won, climate change of a conspiracy, and COVID was a Chinese attack strategy.

A: Whenever you feel like it.

I started a huge ordeal about this when I started at my current job. “But CST isn’t year-round. Why not just say Central Time?” Apparently nobody had thought about it before. Now I think our website says “CT” everywhere.
