“Sometimes when people are hurtful/not nice to us, we need to stay away from them.”

True story: I tried to use bassbeast for my Nintendo ID when setting up my Wii U, and it was getting flagged as inappropriate. I use this on XBL, PSN and other sites, so I didn’t know why. I called into their support line and they didn’t know either. We tested all manner of words that we thought might set off the…

Gotta get this off my chest: I guarantee Stephen Totilo has already been briefed on the PS5 launch info. So have several others I’m sure. So why Kotaku (and other sites) continue the “Ooooo Mystery!” narrative is frankly insulting and pandering. It feels like the line between journalism and PR is blurrier than ever.…

Honest question: when did tipping go up from 15% to 20%? I honestly don't go out to restaurants much - even before the pandemic - but I always grew up being told 15% was standard, then 20% if it was outstanding. 

Have a good friend come by and feed the animal, as long as it can live independently. 

Our rule was to bank on us having to take care of the pet, assuming the kids would contribute how and when they can. Fortunately, my wife and I have been happy, active rabbit people for almost 20 years. Needless to say, so are our boys. While they don't do a lot of litter box changes, they take care of her food,…

Or they are an incredibly stupid, narcissistic idea that should have never gotten off the ground and anyone who thought they were a good idea should have their oxygen revoked. #ImHavingABadDay

I realized that Apple is really trying to position itself as a console rather than a mobile platform. From this perspective, Apple’s position makes sense. Like how EA’s Origin platform couldn’t be on Sony’s platform, Microsoft was willing to go along because it felt that allowing it would add value. In this way, Apple…

Also good: chorizo. 

Came here to say the same thing. Noticed reply by author whose first five letters of his last name only add to my misread. Made my Sunday! 

Oh yeah, finding the loophole is most definitely his specialty! He's diagnosed ADHD, drives me nuts, and has the single biggest heart of any person I've ever encountered in my life and love him more than I ever thought possible. 

I tried this one. They didn’t count on my kid’s ability to remove all the markers at one, losing the duct-taped lids, thus ruining an entire set of markers all at once. Live and learn!

And those of us with Galaxy Folds are left behind? That doesn’t seem right... 

Out of curiosity, did you try the new Sennheisers? First Gen was apparently trash, but I'd love to hear about Gen 2.

Why not make a caprese sandwich? Tomato, bocconcini, some basil, olive oil, salt and pepper! The cheese is so mild it doesn't interfere with the tomato. Basil is just classic too. 

Wait, what? You're leaving?! You're breaking up with us exactly the same way my high school sweetheart broke up with me 20 years ago. So, you going to bang some random at a bar like she did too? 

I find that starting heating my skillet to medium high, adding some heavily salted water (think pasta water) then cooking the onions in the water until it’s all evaporated, THEN adding oil to the pan can make a pseudo-caramelized onion in a fraction of the time. The water helps get rid of that raw-onion bitterness,…

As a Jew, I respectfully disagree with your bagel choice. The “everything” bagel was invented by a bunch of goyim who thought they were being clever, thinking “more is better.” The correct answer is plain (if you’re that boring), poppy seed or sesame seed. Pumpernickel is also acceptable when made correctly.

Privileged meaning fortunate, ya dunce. It’s called context. You brought in all the other uses of privilege: white, male, etc. I didn’t. You’re still wrong.

Wow, way to lack reading comprehension. Nowhere did I call the barista an essential worker. Nowhere did I mention any social privilege. A latte IS a frivolity right now. These baristas - many of whom are greatly mistreated and forced to work because there isn’t any social assistance - deserve a little more respect…
