I thought Lifehacker was excited to be severed from Gizmodo group because they wouldn’t have to do bullshit stuff like this anymore. Sigh....new boss same as the old boss I guess. 

What even is this? Why is Lifehacker doing this for seemingly random college football games? 

The only slight rationalization that makes any sense to me is that my friend’s husband has been a remarkably healthy individual who also has a high degree of medical anxiety. In 40 years on this earth, he’s never broken a bone or needed surgery. He associates surgery with fixing something that has gone wrong. So the…

I agree with those sentiments. The show managed to layer a surprising amount of depth onto characters that started out as the ditzy best friend (Aimee) and the snotty socialite (Ruby). Viewers’ understanding of them grows, and we see them as fully realized people with complex inner lives. Aimee and Ruby both have…

Season 4 might not be a blockbuster hit, but it’s perfectly serviceable and enjoyable. If you liked the first three seasons, you’ll probably find enough to enjoy in the last one. It’s a bit bloated, but some of the character arcs are very good. 

It’s funny to me that the “main” character of the show, Otis, is the one who ended up with the least amount of growth in many regards. His ending felt particularly unsatisfying. Sure, he learned he had to go through heartbreak, but that was just one of Otis’ many, many issues that he refused to confront. The series…

Anecdotally, I find that a lot of the couples I know around my age (early 40s) either have done it or are talking seriously about doing it. And a lot of the talk about it has been very open, so I’m hopeful that we’re normalizing vasectomy somewhat. It is nice to see men shouldering some of the burden of birth control. …

It will be interesting to see who they get as guests, given that the actors union is still on strike and actors take up something like 90% of late night show guest slots. 

There are lots of colleges where if your parent works there, you can go there for free, too. (I feel like this is more well known). The during his junior year of high school, my friend’s mom left her job as a receptionist in a medical office and worked on the janitorial staff, cleaning dorms, at the private school…

If you willingly worked for Trump and Mark Meadows, you do not get to talk about having high standards when it comes to men.

I think it says two things:

Appreciate this review and everyone else’s comments that seem to concur that it Cook Out is OK at best. I was in NC recently and thought I might try Cook Out. I was dismayed to find that they didn’t have an option to order online, but I figured I would just go and order at the drive through. Got there and there were…

I would love for somebody to let Chase put his money where his mouth is. He’s been bitching for years about how nothing is funny and nobody will give him a job and if somebody would just hire him, he’d produce the funniest shit we’d all ever seen. I’d love to see him prove it. Like, give him a couple million to write…

Yeah, there was a profile of Chase in the Washington Post about five years ago, and it mentions how he’d been sober at the time for about 18 months. The profile hardly touches on his marriage, but it does note that his wife Jayni told him when his drinking was bad that he needed to get sober because she didn’t want to…

The sum total of the evidence would suggest otherwise. She went to the game. She sat with his mom. They left the stadium together and drove off in his car. In light of that, I’d say a press release means very little. Like, what are you going to believe, a piece of PR fluff or what we all actually saw with our own…

I enjoyed the season while recognizing its limitations. The cast did grow too large to give everyone’s story full weight. But I thought they made some really good decisions. Adam Groff’s storyline was well executed; I didn’t mind that his boss remained mostly one dimensional. The character found his voice, after being…

“They rip [Eric] away from Otis for most of the season, creating a chasm between the two that feels more forced than necessary.”

I feel bad for Dan Levy a bit in that regard. He’s been so thoroughly identified with that brilliant character he created, it’s hard to see him as something else. I had the same problem in Happiest Season, where I saw David Rose in a lot of the character he played there. I think it’s going to take really breaking the…

Maybe. Lord knows she’s been accused of using relationships for PR purposes in the past (hello there, Tom Hiddleston). Personally, I hope that’s not the case, because that would just be so depressing. Like, you’re the biggest pop star in the world right now and you still feel like you’ve got to feed your personal life…

I always kind of scratch my head at Swift’s willingness to go public in such a big way so early in a relationship. Inviting so much public scrutiny into a relationship so early seems like the wrong way to build the foundation for a long-term thing. Like, it’s willful self-sabotage (if long-term is what she’s looking…
