I come here both to enjoy the content and hope that the site dies soon.

Whenever I see the pop-up that says “We know you don’t come here for the ads” all I can think of is “I also don’t come here for the forced auto-play videos but here we are.”

That’s 473 words cut up between 4 ads and 4 boxes suggesting other articles. Today’s the day I take lifehacker off my adblocker whitelist.

If physical fitness were as easy as financial fitness I’d live to be 120.

I’m waaay more in shape financially than physically. 

If you think that politicians are on your side, you’re in for a wild ride.

“Monetizing” “borrowed” “content” is “hard.”

Stop tipping -> workers strike -> employers raise their employee’s pay until they’re replaced by robots as they’ll soon be either way regardless

Is this what Fez took up after Phil Fish quit on him? Turned in the hat for a smile?

I fell into a deep, DEEP, hole with Forager this week. Had to power through to get it out of my system since it was really that compelling once you being to unlock new facets to the game through leveling up.

Subject (and strange choice of target for scorn) aside, this isn’t even an article. There’s no through line, no theory, no point you ever get to.

you still won’t be able to tip the airport shuttle driver

I just don’t tip for every darn service. Ridiculous. Pouring me a cup of coffee is not tippable. Tipping someone to open a door for me, um, no. If you’re doing that, you’re being paid by the business to provide that service. Unless you are providing exceptional service, no tip. And even then, I rarely give a tip, just…

That is simple, do away with laws that allow businesses to pay less than minimum wage and let the market sort it out.

But the point both the NYT and the state of New Jersey are trying to make is that we aren’t prepared for a truly cashless society. Not yet, anyway.

No thanks, I avoid establishments that expect me to pick-up the rest of their salary.  America needs to get rid of this obsession with tipping.
