I must, the same way the immune system must assume that anything an IgE antibody can attach to is a potential threat, assume that anyone who unironically uses the word "gaslight" as a verb is wrong.

Rushing leads to errors. I don't rush. I also don't anti-rush. Dawdle? But to answer your question, after a year I use those 30 extra minutes to play Sonic the Hedgehog six or seven times, nibbling on an ice cream sandwich between

With the possible exception of IrDA, which in 2025 is like wanting a parallel port on a phone, pretty much all of that still exists. Here's a phone with "a completely square display": https://www.walmart.com/i

I was a trained cashier many years ago because I didn't grow up privileged so I had to work retail (and dishwasher and waiter) jobs. Not only do I have the muscle memory, still after 30 years, I also have the added incentive of knowing

There is a near-infinite variety of phones. People claim that they want them but really they don't. I know this because I used to try to help. I used to think that, for whatever reason, people just didn't know about all of the opt

Interesting. Extremely interesting. reclaimthenet.org appears, at first, to be a pro-free speech site. But they only publish stories that support the current US administration's stance that conservatives are being oppressed and persecu

Anything more than air, water, shelter, food, and companionship is trivial. I want to live like I'm in Star Trek. The good Trek, not the new stuff. So when I wake up to pee in the middle of the night because I'm an old man my bath

You are a fool because you didn't expend any effort before dismissing. Yes, on March 12, 2025 the EPA published that press release. But a non-fool would search the CFR to see if any proposed rules had been published. Almost exactly one

Everyone's driving record and location is different, but on my three paid-for used cars liability-only is less than comprehensive on one cheap new car. It helps that I haven't had a claim in 30 years.

It has been my experience that people who talk about cars are lying to themselves. They say they want one thing, but buy another. They claim they want a manual transmission and then buy a RAV4. They claim they want a sports sedan and then b

Perhaps growing up in an age and (admittedly unusual) setting where I had to deliberately choose the media I consumed, rather than having it fed to me, was a boon. I am convinced that is a skill that can be learned or taught.
