“Yet i see people get better, and levels beyond placebo.”

I feel like if your friend works in a different field there’s not much you can do except emotional support. Also, even if you work in the same field, what if you love your friend but aren’t confident they are actually good at their job? I’ve definitely known friends who I really liked as people but wouldn’t want to…

I feel like half this list was a bad idea to even mention. You know it’s bad when opiates are near the bottom in terms of most to least dangerous things on the list.

It’s especially weird because I feel like Lifehacker is normally over-cautious if anything when it comes to health or legal advice. They seem to default to “ask your doctor” on even the most basic health advice, and in an article about abortion pills kept emphasizing legal consequences if you get caught. Feels…

I’m normally fine with the whole “alcohol is just another drug” thing but the dandelion wine entry seems out of place with the rest of this list. By that logic you can also make “drugs” from basically any fruit or vegetable you would normally grow in a garden.

Ooh feel like a savory soda bread would be really good with a nice sharp Irish cheddar mixed in (I like Oscar Wilde brand if you can find it).

I feel like a lot of the personal finance one are basically just word problem versions of things kids are in fact already taught in high school. Like, it drives me crazy when people complain about how they “were never taught how to do taxes but were taught that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell”. Maybe the…

Yeah I feel like half of these are basically just “word problems” using math most people are already taught in school.

I still love the old-school recipe with condensed “cream of something” soup, shredded rotisserie chicken, and frozen vegetables of choice. Not that much more work (you have to shred the chicken but also don’t need to boil anything down) and feel like that way ends up a lot heartier than this way since you have more…

Pretty sure I threw up from overeating candy on Halloween at a school party at least once as a kid (at least one other time was a stomach bug, but think at least one time was just from too much candy). I don’t really know why I would overeat that much, my parents were pretty lenient about sugar in my normal life so it…

I am not a beer person at all but occasionally drink them at work happy hours. If I go for something low IBU like a Blue Moon it’s palatable enough, but I don’t particular enjoy the taste and would never have more than two.

Yeah even for the cost thing, it’s still an added expense for 99% of people who are going to have their landline as a supplement rather than replacement.

Yeah I think it’s just a thing in my area. I looked on the Motor City website and they aren’t listed as being available closer, so it wasn’t just that the local Costco was out of it on the particular day we looked.

“It may not be necessary for thin pizzas like Totino’s, which are already prone to being crackery, but it can really help out a doughy offering like Digiorno.”

My husband is a Monster energy guy (low carb) and people act like he is killing himself not so slowly when you mention it. But yet no one would blink an eye at someone drinking a triple espresso coffee drink with sugar-free syrup which is basically the same thing. I feel like even Diet Coke doesn’t get the same…

Some of it is helicopter parenting but some of it is also logistics. If the birthday party is 90 minutes long and is 20+ minutes away it’s not really worth it to leave and come back. Though I feel like even sitting alone in the car scrolling on your phone seems more appealing than watching a bunch of six year olds run…

I got a side-by-side fridge and freezer (as opposed to bottom freezer) and I am generally loving the extra freezer room and accessibility, but it does mean things like this are more difficult if not impossible.

“The expectation is an unsettling throwback to requiring people of color to say “sir” and “ma’am” to the white people they served.”

You can also set it up so the charge will just be denied at the point of sale like it usually works for credit cards when you have hit your limit. I’d personally rather deal with a bit of embarrassment at the restaurant or whatever than unintentionally get into more debt.

“When it comes to picking a project, resist the urge to check stuff off of your own to-do list. (Kids are smart—they can tell when grownups are trying to get them to do something boring by acting like it’s cool and fun.)”
