This is Columbia House all over again.

This is Columbia House all over again.

My ovaries shrivel up every time I visit my friends with kids. I don’t understand how having a messy house, no personal time, and someone screaming at any point in the day is “joy”.

I’m also very likely to remain childless because I simply CANNOT afford it. Daycare in my area is the equivalent cost of rent on a 1-bedroom apartment. Not to mention everything else. I make decent pay, but I’ve done the math on it and I would be back to living hand-to-mouth. And as much as living in poverty for the

I’m 35 with no kids. Last week I visited family including two cousins with four kids kids between them varying in age from 8 to 16.... I didn’t spend more than 4 hours with them total but my takeaway? My uterus will remain forever locked and shuttered. I couldn’t find even a single redeeming quality in being a parent.

Forty-something, no kids here. I love it. I still enjoy my spouse. And lot of other things in life that my parenting friends don’t seem to get to do.

Nothing I read today encourages me to want to have kids. I am convinced most parents are less happy for the first 15-20 years of childhood and potentially only exceed in their later years. No thanks.

I’m all for contrarians, but man, this is so simple. It really doesn’t warrant that much analysis.

Not at all. Plenty of people work “full time” but are technically paid hourly. They often discuss their annual income at 40 hours/week, but are technically paid hourly.

It’s not a lot of effort. This is just less effort. It’s really not that complicated.

Some people are paid by an hourly rate and still work 40 hours a week. If you’re paid salary already, you obviously wouldn’t need this—unless you want to figure out your hourly rate for whatever reason, then just remove 3 zeroes and cut the number in half.

Sure you could! But again, that requires breaking out the calculator (at least for me). The whole point of this is mental “math.”

Exactly... or even easier, multiply the hourly rate by 2,000 (which pretty much any maroon can do in a flash) and you’re right there in the ballpark. The other 80 hours equate to a two-week unpaid vacation.

That’s really all this trick is doing, but it rounds the number to 2000 instead of 2080. Thus, 2000 = double and add three zeroes.

The setting in which turning the Xbox One off turns it off is called “Energy-Saving Mode,” rather than, y’know, “Off”—as though a setting in which a device that has been turned off is off is a special way to “save” energy.

Why in the world would you keep buying XBox’s after 3 rings of death? I had one PS3 and it still works. I have one launch PS4 and its given me no problems. Get a PlayStation. Yeesh!

Please explain “the current gaming climate” in a way that will make me feel great about the fact that I brought home two Xbox Ones in less than 24 hours and neither one of them was able to be used as a game console.

Can I ask a question that might get me in trouble?

If they really thought the clock was a bomb, wouldn’t they have evacuated the school?
