My state (which is one of the worst in the country, but it’s the one I’m most aware of), basically just does a bit of rough math. X cases - hospitalizations and deaths are basically considered to be ‘recovered,’ and roll off the total two weeks later.

I keep having to have the argument with a friend about their specially purchased exercise masks that ‘don’t make it hard to breath at all, you can’t even tell it’s there.’ These things might as well be fishnets.

To everyone who replied, yes yes I know it’s par for the course now, but we should still be mad at it. We should still point out the logical inconsistencies and force people to look their hatred, ignorance, and creepy sense of nationalism in the eye.

Whatever side of this you are on. Did I miss the part where he is a noted historical scholar? Why on earth would anyone think he has insight into this? Even if you agree with his ridiculous point of view, he shouldn’t be making claims about things he isn’t an expert in. That’s why we have experts. He shouldn’t be…

Alright Skillet readers. There’s no way this thing doesn’t have an official name. Someone get on that for us.

I hate the phrase ‘a few bad actors,’ the expression is ‘a few bad apples spoils the barrel,’ and changing it to ‘actors,’ doesn’t alter the point or get you off the hook by blaming it on those gosh darned ‘bad apples.’ 

This seems like we’re overthinking it. All you need is a map of the U.S. with ‘NO,’ written in red block letters across the front.

T’is all yours my friend!

Save yourself some cash and go with the last Logitech trackball. $15 bucks instead of a $100, feels as good in the hand, WAY better battery life, and aside from that slight tilt the ergo can do there are virtually no new features. There is a reason it set the standard for so long with trackballs. I believe it’s the…

I’m going to enrage some keto people with this thought, but I had a nutritionist friend tell me one time that you can spot a ‘fad diet,’ by how often you find yourself eating the ‘components of food,’ as he called them. Basically are you regularly thinking, ‘yeah but tomorrow I can have all the scrambled eggs I want,…

Weird takeaway bud, but good times!

It’s hard to say is ‘clustastro-f*#%,’ a word?

I feel like there is something between ‘renting is throwing money away,’ and ‘your home is not an investment.’

By all means get your ducks in a row, know the local rental rates, know how desirable your place is, know everything you can, but please please PLEASE don’t walk into this trying to play hardball. I own a few properties and I have taken negotiated price decreases on all of them. I am taking late rents, accepting…

Just going to pop in with that all important, don’t diagnose people if you don’t have that M.D. hanging on your wall comment that needs repeating on any thread like this. You don’t know that, and that is not ok. It doesn’t mean you can’t draw lines for you and decide people aren’t healthy to be around, but sentences…

I was a child who’s father was estranged from his father, i.e. my grandfather. Looking back, I feel like I had a very easy time with it and it was because my parents handled it the way they always say to handle children who are adopted. They never lied to me and were always straight forward in an age appropriate way.

“Given the uncertainty, more landlords want tenants with good-to-excellent credit scores,”

Still in love with the joke that: ‘if this is the first year you are voting, then the stereotype you’ve grown up with is white men don’t know how to be president.’ I’m beyond thrilled to see what gen-z brings to the table. Sorry we failed you guys so badly. I spend the majority of my day around people who will be…

Lamy is awesome, I have and love that pen, but I’ve gotta throw out the Pilot Metropolitan. For less than half as much you get something of equal quality, and if you like a finer tip a Japanese (Pilot) fine tip will usually be thinner than a European (Lamy) fine tip. IMHO the Pilot feels just a little more premium in…

My biggest issue with ‘shaming,’ is it doesn’t accomplish anything. SOOOOOO much research has gone into proving that if you want someone to change their behaviors shaming is the last thing you do.
