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

Dude, love yourself. Buy a better pan to cook your eggs.

Whatever you’re doing that causes eggs to fuse to a pan, please stop it.

I have loosely followed the JKR/Hogwarts drama since it was announced, but I was not terribly informed about the specifics. Some people have been extraordinarily upset, and I had expected some vile stuff from her.

I would argue the internet isn’t pissed...just a group of very vocal people. It doesn’t help either that every blog and gaming blog keeps writing the same story saying the same exaggerated things. The only people really talking about it are blogs looking for clicks. Right now there are 378k people playing it on steam…

You pulled every single one of these from Reddit that was posted 3 says ago... at least give some credit or pretend to be original? https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/10tt1hd/dont_water_a_grease_fire_dont_mess_with_a_garage/

The urine one is also a great way to get out of meetings and family dinners.

Lifehacker posts with the byline “Elizabeth Yuko” have a 100% probability of being garbage. 

Good take, I figured this would come next. All parents with young kids should be relegated to the house until that child can behave more like an adult. Have cross country family? Sucks to be them, hope they have the means to take extra time off to account for drive time and possibly pay extra costs. Otherwise, they’re…

What an extraordinarily ignorant view on children and parenting. This may sound shocking, but tiny children often behave very differently from each other, regardless of the parenting method. 

Or you know, it’s based on hours worked in the year. If someone worked only part of the year, they’re definitely not getting the maximum.

That sounds like a good thing. Most people don’t know how to use them anyway

“popular SUV may be affected by high beams that fail and cannot turn on again.”

Burnout in healthcare (and a bunch of other professions - first responders and teachers for example) is real, rampant, and horrific. Yes, that leads to suicide on occasion, which is also horrific. And we can talk about suicide and what it does to your loved ones all day long, and I think that there’s nothing easy about…

Fossil fuels are the reason we are where we are today. Without them we would be nowhere. If you like heat, electricity being able to buy goods at a store and being able to get from one side of the globe to another in less than a day thank fossil fuels.

Uhhh they don’t control the prices of a barrel of crude. Their story is a bit more complex as they are a vertically integrated super major, but they didn’t make oil go to $120/bbl. Remember, oil is traded globally. It wasn’t just the US that was paying high prices for oil after Russia invaded Ukraine. Tons of…

It’s not insanity to defend a necessity.
