If all cars were designed by computer with the sole purpose of being as aerodynamically perfect as possible, all cars would look the same.

Yeah. I’m reluctant to tip anywhere that doesn’t offer table service.

Absolutely. If other people want to judge me for it, then their opinion doesn’t matter to me anyway.

Suzy Welch, an NYU business professor, previously said the trend is fuelled by Gen Z's "strong desire to avoid anxiety at any cost" because they haven’t made hard decisions or done hard things.

Theory: Suzy Welch emerged from a pod as a fully mature adult, and never experienced puberty or high school.

Because he’s my nephew. I care about him. He’s only in high school, he’s saving up for one, and I don’t want him to be disappointed/frustrated and waste his money on a crappy printer. If I can steer him away from bad printers and software, great!

I also don’t want him to be discouraged. He’s smart, talented, and basically I want him to kick ass everything he does (I know that’s unrealistic, but hey, that’s the uncle in me talking). Plus, being good at 3D printing will be a valuable skill.

For the MAGA crowd, “going woke” = showing empathy… and nothing incites MAGAs derision like empathy. They want an unfair society, and anyone who doesn’t must be a threat.

This would be neither simple nor guarantee a secure border, but they don’t care. They just want a legal excuse to kill brown people.

Don’t support corporate “personhood”. Refusing to call Twitter by the stupid name Musk has given it is 100% acceptable.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have politicians whose shallowness and hypocrisy aren’t so easily mocked by 10-year-olds?

This woman knows how to write a closing sentence. Damn.

I like JustWatch because it lets you search all your streaming services at once. If you set up a (free) account, you can limit it to just the streaming services you have personally. Handy as hell.

Goddammit now I’ve got that Hanson song in my head. I deserve it.
