The richer you are the less you actually have to pay for and you do not pay in cash.  Most likely he got a stupidly low interest loan for the money.

True, but shitty poor people generally don’t have the money, power, influence, and time it takes to do all that much damage. A shitty poor person might rob you and ruin a few months of your life. A shitty rich person might not pay his 100,000+ employees enough to live comfortably and force them to work grueling shifts…

....Jaff Bezos’ Yacht just pumped $500-million into an industry that is currently suffering thanks to global product shortages and lack of cruise passengers.

Your argument that a five hundred million dollar yacht pumps lots of money into the local economy is literally the foundational idea of trickle-down economics. You’re kind of talking out of both sides of your mouth here.

“These pyramids employed thousands of slaves that would normally struggle to make a living, and support the hard pyramid building sector, so haters don’t understand how building playthings for wealthy people actually helps poor people “

Hahaha, that dude getting pinballed between the XBOX and PS spoof accounts is good trolling.

“There are times in life when you must choose a side, and the Super Bowl is one of those times.... The game will be at least 85% more exciting if you desperately want “your” team to triumph...”

Even as a huge football fan, the Super Bowl is the one sporting event on the calendar that feels more like a lifestyle event. I care about the game, but it feels overshadowed by everything else: the food, the commercials, the halftime show. Most people at a typical Super Bowl party are only casual fans at best, and…

My husband and I were saving up money for a downpayment for years, all while housing prices kept going up and up and up to the highest they’d ever been.

I feel like this is also good advice for a lot of other things. If you can afford it now, want it now, and maybe had a few moments to step back and rationalize why you want it, then go ahead and buy it. Otherwise you’ll be mulling and waiting forever for that “perfect moment.”

this is frickin’ hilarious.  So now the shoe is on the other foot, so to speak.  I really hope now that as an Android user, I can ‘like’ a message from someone and all the iOS users get the ‘user liked “blah blah blah blah blah” message.  We’ve been dealing with this for a few years now.  Maybe Apple, and now their…

All of these methods are way too much effort. Just smush the old sliver of soap into the top of the new bar before you get out of the shower. By the time you’re ready for your next shower, it’ll have hardened into a new super bar, no C-clamp required. 

Can a puzzle truly be apolitical in such a politically-charged country?

I confess I was incendiary a few weeks ago when the clue was “A greener energy source” and the answer was CLEANCOAL. That was a big faceplant. As an answer it’s fine, but the clue should have been something like “Fossil fuel marketing term.”

“The answer: five letters long “HITLER.”

Im pretty sure that is 6 letters. Once you run out of fingers on one hand, start using the other and you’ll be able to count higher!

On the scale of 1 to 10 for PR Fuck-Ups...

I get why people find Wordle sharing obnoxious, but to me it hearkens back to the early, comparatively wholesome days of social networking, before everything became as ugly as it is today. I like the community-building aspect of sharing an experience with online friends in this casual, harmless way, that doesn’t…

But people sharing their wordles for themselves/their followers is much different than creating a bot to seek out those who share them, especially since it seems this just searches for anyone who shares their scores and not the creator’s followers. No different than if I really hated the crying laughing emoji and I…

just like with other “recycling” articles, why is the focus not more on finding a more biodegradable or reusable option and cycling out the uber-cheap and non-reusable Styrofoam? We can ask individuals to “reduce, reuse, recycle” until we are blue in the face, but as long as these single-use and non-environmentally…

Holy hell, this is the best thing I never knew I wanted. Specifically for this implementation, but more generally as an idea. Repositories or museums of game mechanics, to act as both a map of the history of gaming as a medium and a repository of accessible examples for developers.
