I hope this didn’t come across mean, i’m old and love everyone. I am just genuinely curious. Maybe i don’t see the full picture?

no, you’re right.  I could have been clearer.  When I said “I keep seeing the argument...” I meant in comments and other places on the internet.

I keep seeing the argument that the people upset are a “small group of loud/vocal people”. No shit. That does invalidate their arguments. We can all point to many many instances where a small group of loud/vocal people were in the right.

And every time this argument about how very few people are complaining, a dog…

I used to use the app all the time. Then there was some mix up where I was charged twice for an order; which is fine, mix ups happen. But when I went back to the store they said there was nothing they could do about it since it was an app order and I’d have to call corporate. And that was impossible to actually get a…

I have a special needs kid and these issues are even more heightened including an increased number of paths to remedying any issues and an increased number of people to have issues with. There are so many teachers and para-aides that are just not prepared for unique needs in classes, due to their own training or the…

This is what I don’t understand.  My daughter goes to her grandparents’ house most days.  If she logs into her profile there does that count as password sharing?

I wonder if Tim Allen believes in Santa Claus. I mean, Santa has to exist in order for him to not believe in him. WHAT IF HE BELIEVES HE IS SANTA CLAUS!? IT HAS TO BE TRUE FOR ME TO NOT BELIEVE IN IT!?

Tim Allen is the real Santa. I will not be taking further questions. Thanks.

I had the exact same response.  I saw this article earlier this morning and didn’t click on it assuming it was going to be a slide show.

First of all, I always say it was Blockbuster who killed the video store. Growing up in my area there were a large variety of video rental stores. Then Blockbuster came in and offered $1 rentals until everyone else went out of business and they immediately jacked up the price to $5 or more per rental with a FAR more…

All guest mode does is keeps “guests” off of your main home network while still being able to access the internet.

IF you are good about changing the password every time a guest uses it then it might be more secure as it allows you to give temporary access to the internet, but I have yet to see that built in to a…

why Steam Deck over the Switch for this game?

We are a Diet Pepsi house and we have found Diet Sam’s Cola (Walmart’s store brand) to be a close approximation. All other diet store brands taste like garbage.

I’ve yet to find a webapp or something to organize loans between friends and families. Something that helps present some best practices when it comes to terms and potential interest rates and provides some structure around repayment.

I know during the pandemic I lost my job and my in-laws really helped with a lot of…

So if you took the lump sum and IF you were the only person that won then you’d only pay tax on the profit.

3 similar stories:
1) I remember seeing Superman II on tv and Superman and Lois were shown in bed together. I remember asking my parents what just happened because the movie just cuts to that shot. I remember getting the impression that they “got married” which I’m sure was part of the explanation that I didn’t…

I have NEVER gotten feedback after a rejection and I’ve heard from HR people that they strongly discourage giving feedback as it opens them up to lawsuits.

I vaguely remember during the early aughts trying to find a McDonald’s french fry recipe and I learned all about double frying your fries. And the key was to pre-soak the potatoes in a water/vinegar solution, freezing the potatoes, lightly frying frying them, freezing it again, and then frying it again.

Or something…

What is this?  What have you done!  You’re a mad man!

I keep thinking about what if there are other intelligent species out there but they are sufficiently rare enough to where there are only 1 per galaxy and physics really only limits us to sub light speeds thus making interstellar/intergalactic travel not feasible. There would be hundreds of billions of intelligent…

Imagine restaurants buy up most, if not all, of the food in an area. This drives up the prices of the remaining food so that only the wealthy can afford to prepare their own food. This forces people to have to eat only at these restaurants, most of them are crap because where else are people going to go? They charge…
