This is the thing that bugs me the most about our corporate overlords. They are in a perfect position to profit from social programs. Higher taxes on the rich and corporations right now would lead to a gigantic economic boom that would actually drive bigger profits for those at the top. The economic expansion that…

Someone would argue that the accomplishment and being able to share it with “friends” is worth the effort and time you put in.

My use of McDonald’s has skyrocketed during the pandemic due to the ability to place mobile orders and hit the drive-thru / curbside pickup. It’s mostly just to get a big $1 soda (McDs isn’t making bank on me) but I’ve probably bought 50 of them for myself and others in the last year. It’s so damn convenient.

As someone who used to participate in wrestling RP “e-feds” online back in the day...

Sometimes when I was a kid we were quite poor and canned pasta was what we had. It wasn’t something I loved the way other kids did. Growing up, I gave a lot of thought to the pros and cons of food and poverty, canned pasta like this is an excellent example of it, I’ll break it down below.

“license plate recognition software to pull up a customer’s order history.”

I like using apps to order since it’s easier to customize your order that way. Trying to explain a a custom order through a drive thru speaker is torture. 

Chef Boyardee (CB) ravioli is decent, especially if you jazz it up a bit with Italian seasoning and parmesan.

I had this issue. Turned out I had the start of termites, and the bird was actually pecking at the edge of the window frame to get at the tasty treats. 

My wife’s grandparents bought their home in the 1940's for $45k (it’s a very large house in an affluent neighborhood.) In the late 90's some rando knocked on their door and offered them 1.4 million in cash. It was worth more but they took since they were on the verge of moving into assisted living and didn’t want to…

Yeah, when you’ve got a piece of land in an area people want to move to because it’s got a huge pool of stable work/white collar industry, nice area, good schools, etc. it makes houses skyrocket. Where I am in socal, you are probably going to spend about a million on a 3 bed 2 bath and even t hen it’s going to be a…

If this isn’t everyone’s forefront reaction to this entire article then I don’t know what else it would be.

I was only four years old when Pokemon started.

In 1980, we were renting in a little two-family house in Brooklyn. The elderly landlord died and his family wanted to get rid of it, so they offered it to my father for $40,000. Yes, he turned them down. Current Zestimate: $1.3M. 

I guess I respect their statement for still sounding pretty unenthusiastic about Stadia. I was sort of expecting some shamelessly positive lies about how “excited” they are to encourage us all to get the game on Stadia, a great platform that everyone should love. Kind of nice that they went with more of a “well,…

It’s still ridiculous to me that they had to throw a public temper tantrum and cancel a game for Google to resolve the issue after a month of back-and-forths. Luckily for them they had something to leverage, but most people facing dumb issues with Google services won’t get covered by a Kotaku to force Google to get…

Even as a person who used to post in the SA forums a million years ago, watching Lowtax get humiliated was like biting into a warm brownie.

How about Jerry’s country singer Uncle Pecos, who keeps breaking strings on this guitar so he plucks the whiskers off of Tom’s face to replace them?

“What if we just isolated one of the hardest parts of the game and made that available?”

The best Tom and Jerry cartoon is Blue Cat Blues.
