I’ve seen someone complain about vacuum sealing bags not being airtight. They posted a picture and the thing was inflated like a balloon. Ma’am, that’s airtight. Your food is fermenting in there.

Much faster to skim the contents of an article than a video.

Having come from the world of C++, this was a huge step up.

Probably not. But have you considered one male authority figure and a cohort of female underlings?

Interesting that you list vice versa. What do you typically use instead?

This one amuses me. It looks all fancy in writing. But if someone says “milk toast” and you don’t know what it means, they just sound like an idiot.

That’s the fun thing about food (and wine especially). You don’t need to have the ingredient present for it to taste like that ingredient. I made chocolate chip cookies once that tasted like bananas, and I most definitely didn’t add bananas to them.

I’ve never seen anyone use “demure” in a serious context. It seems to always be used to convey a mocking tone.

Relevant XKCD

While true on paper, they don’t have any actual power here.

In theory, the value they create is in handling all the home maintenance. Of course, many of them don’t do their jobs in practice.

I mean, this is how businesses work in general. If you don’t buy their products/services, then they wouldn’t be able to continue providing them.

I understand that we’re trying to draw attention to exploitative landlords, but if anyone can afford to keep their property regardless of whether or not you pay rent, it’s the exploitative ones.

If you replace the cars first, such that no one’s daily schedules are significantly altered,

Is that going to happen if you replace cars with another vehicle that still requires car infrastructure?

Well, if that’s how it worked before, they must’ve changed it. I installed it last night without paying and it never blocked me.

I don’t see how going from car to proper city planning is any harder than going from not-car to proper city planning. This just feels like an extra unnecessary step that could be taking resources away from the city planning part.

So you should really stop calling it laziness. It’s doing a disservice to yourself and anyone else suffering from the same issue. An inability to complete simple tasks when your brain is actively working against you is not a character flaw.

Another one of the million projects in my backlog that I’ll never get to.

There’s one major problem with this kind of website that I’ve been wanting a solution for, and it’s that people often only leave reviews when they have an exceptionally bad experience. So when you see a product with lots of negative reviews, does that mean it’s actually bad? Or is it just a very popular product, so lots of people will find issues with it? I think the solution to that is some form of review pre-registration. When you buy something that’s intended to last a while, inform the review website of that purchase. Then if something goes wrong and you leave a negative review, you can see what percentage of purchases are affected.

Are you talking about DeArrow? The website gives you the option to pay or just download without paying.

Rules for thee, but not for me

I’ve heard a lot about the Rwandan genocide, but this is my first time hearing of OP’s thing. It’s more interesting to read about something novel, which is probably why you see more of this being shared.
