   I truly hate that Instagram is owned by Facebook. It's genuinely the best, most positive social media platform that I've been a part of. I've made genuine friends and found an amazing community in my niche. Please don't

   I have anxiety and used to have REALLY bad anxiety. My girlfriend at the time encouraged me to try weed because it helped her. I was incredibly nervous and after just one inhalation I had one of the worst panic attacks of my life. It was as

   I own just about one of every single Apple products, I'm completely invested in the ecosystem. Except for one thing, the iPad. I've never once had the need for one or even the want for one. I use my MacBook Pro or my iPhone, not s

   I like BMW, but I’ve always hated their logo. It’s ugly and looks terrible on a car. This new logo is even worse.

   That’s insane to me. Growing up in sunny California, I’ve never experienced anything below 40°F. And 68° is freezing cold to me. Maybe I’m just unhealthy.

   Spore was an amazing experiment. It was a terrible game, but I'm glad they tried it.

   I never really had any issues with using Amazon’s services (I’m just talking about usability here, not getting into the fact that they’re a horrible company), but in the past year or so many of my packages from Amazon haven’t been arriving

   I always scroll past the ad to click on the "real" URL. I don't want to add to the statistic showing support that behaviour.

    That’s amazing and actually reminds me of a book I read about young Merlin. As a child Merlin was blinded but learned to “see” by sensing objects with magic. Eventually he became so good at it that even though he didn’t use his eyes, it was

    I love the idea of a mechanical keyboard (and I would love to build one), but I hate the thick keys and travel distance of each key press (I'm used to the thing keys on my MacBook Pro). Are there any mechanical switches that are low-tr

    Yes they do, especially in lower fat milks like 1% or non-fat.

    Still using my mid-2015 rMBP, waiting to upgrade until Apple fixes the issues with the current gen. Also waiting for at least 32GB RAM.

    I remember back in like 2010, someone uploaded and ripped a YouTube video 1000 times and then edited the natural degradation of the compression. Went from perfectly watchable video to horrible static-y mess. Here it is! https://w

    You'll still be able to use AIM if you setup a private server? I need to look into this.

    I use Discord, but I only have it installed on my phone. More convenient that way.

    My father was a Type 2 diabetic for many years. I never thought much of it, I knew he "watched" his diet and didn't have sugar and he went to the doctor who prescribed him insulin and medication. Slowly over the years it got

    My dad is a computer tech at a school district. They have something like 800 Chromebooks. He can't keep up with how quickly they break. Kids are very rough with them.

    Sidenote: it's better for the environment to buy a used Ford pickup truck than to buy a new Prius. The pickup will have been made in one factory while the Prius is made from parts from all around the world. It's already done a mil

    They're also moving towards everything wireless. I can't remember the last time I plugged my iPhone into my MBP. It syncs to iCloud and updates are all OTA.

    The climate change one scares me the most as well. We should be focused on renewable energy more than anything right now. It's a much bigger threat than terrorism. And building a wall and kicking out immigrants is so backwards. We need

    I don't really care about food. If I didn't have to eat anymore, that would be amazing! I tried Soylent and it was disgusting, though. Couldn't stomach it.
