LOL, the Echo Dot in the bedroom answers to “computer”; the Echo Show out in the living room answers to “Alexa”. I’m the Trekkie in the house and work from the bedroom, my husband is in the other room most of the time, so that actually works out perfectly (they don’t trip over each other and I get to pull a Scotty). :D

Obviously, you need some fake books to hide the secret entrance to your themed room.

I love that you have a Minecraft themed bathroom. People should have fun with their houses, rather than ignoring their desires for bland “tastefulness”.

Thought this was cool and showed this to my son and he says, “I want to poop in there.”

It makes naming smart devices a lot more fun too.

I’m going to disagree and say that a lack of displayed books isn’t cheap and tacky, certainly not anymore than a lack of displayed films or music. If you enjoy reading from physical books and want to display your favorites, go for it. Same goes for an album or film collection. Like other media, a lot of us have gone…

So I might not recommend them if you’re trying to sell your house, but to actually live and entertain in, themed rooms are great.

Some of this I agree on, I guess. The lack of books? Eyeroll. Overly themed rooms? Do they have kids? Extension cords... blah blah. People this judgey are welcome to not step foot in my home.

Re: “Lack of Books” - I feel of two minds on this. Because I feel like books are meant to primarily be read, not displayed, and bookcases are meant to primarily be storage, not decor. Like, sure, display your books in a way that makes them and your home look nice, but you shouldn’t only display them for that purpose.…

it assumes that everyone talking with those phrases with this “ableist” mentality in the forefront to intentionally be mean towards others.

That would make sense, and frankly I’m a lawyer and for this reason I kinda lose respect for anyone who uses these kinds of blanket disclaimers. (I likewise love responding to emails ending with “we reserve all rights” with “what rights are you reserving?”) But they do make a kind of sense, especially in the most…

You are correct. I worked for a Fortune 50 company and during one of the myriad lawsuits said company was involved in during my time there, the plaintiff’s attorneys showed that Confidentiality notices were being used on pretty much every email that went outside the company, confidential or not (many, many employees ha…

Green! And don’t make me call Ivanova over here!

Purple!

Hell yes! That was the first and only time (25 years ago, wtf) I’d ever heard of it without searching for it on my own, until this article. I was hoping the comment section wouldn’t disappointment me, and it didn’t.

Oh, I absolutely came here for the B5 reference. It makes you wanna yell, MISTER Garabaldi!

I had the biggest crush on Garibaldi. To this day I love stocky men with blue eyes and dark lashes.

No you’re not. You beat me to it.

Away with you heretic!

As often as needed, but no more.
