I am looking to replace my dining room chairs, and I just can’t find any that I actually like. It’s as if the general design of dining room chairs is unappealing. I’ve considered getting some comfy office chairs.

It should be noted that I use my dining room for tabletop gaming almost as much as actual dining.

Allegedly it is good with vintage video games (e.g. NES). The weird idiosyncracies of CRTs were accounted for when developing the games.

Steam itself was a gut punch when it first rolled out. Got Half-Life 2 and had to install Steam just to play it. I was like “what the fuck is this shit!”

Yup, approximately 50% of pregnancies are unplanned globally. The U.S. has a rate similar to the global rate.

Focus on preventing unplanned pregnancies. And make being child-free socially acceptable. That’s it. No “eco-fascism” measures needed.

Talk about taking one for the team though

Instructions unclear: one person sits on other’s lap

The last one is an actual safety hazard. Imagine someone slipping and falling (think icy sidewalks) and taking one of those to the face.

My apartment isn’t bad and blows away houses around here unless I want to spend about 3x what I pay for rent on a mortgage (after a 20% downpayment). Any house cheaper than that is going to be a shitbox. Yeah, I know about equity, but 3x is a huge gap that I instead choose to put towards retirement.

The sound insulation here could be better, but even so most of the noise comes from outside. Garbage trucks, barking dogs, etc. The house I lived in growing up was actually louder. A lot more neighbors’ dogs that were left outside at all hours of the night, more lawn equipment (when I was home, instead of during the business day), etc.

If I had hobbies that were loud or took up a bunch of space (particularly outdoor space), then I’d probably have to look into getting a house. But I’m in a good spot and see no reason to change.

They mixed residential, industrial, and commercial.

/original Sim City had color-coded zones

They put butt-plugs on those posts?

I’m the oddball who prefers living in an apartment. It has some nice features that are difficult to find in a stand-alone house, difficult to replicate, or simply don’t scale down well.

I’m a big fan of fajitas.

The digital coupons are a pain in the ass. Sometimes the app properly clips them, other times it doesn’t. There’s like 3 different ways to enter the item, and it is inconsistent on which way will work.

Fair enough

Certain things are constant across cultures. Among them: food, sports, and music.

And when I say “food”, I mean beyond just biological sustenance. It’s part of culture and an important part of social gatherings.

The basic premise behind enshittification

So it should be called “Round Down,” as in it rounds down your IQ?

designed that way so you can twirl it if your honey container is far away from where you want to spread the honey to keep from dripping everywhere.

As opposed to moving the container or what you want the honey on to be closer together.

I have seen these before, but I’ve never seen them for anything other than honey. No one has a gravy twirler or a pancake syrup twirler.

I’ll dissent here: early technology didn’t just work. Computers in the 80s and 90s (at least early 90s) required quite a bit of technical know-how to use competently.
