How do you think those of us not using facebook manage to not starve to death for want of a bakery? Trust me, I can find local businesses just fine without Zuck crawling up my ass. Bakery A feels compelled to buy ads from Facebook because

A chaulkboard / whiteboard costs fuck-all and is a one time expense. I've seen innumerable small businesses using such on the sidewalk. They seem to be very popular and have a homey authentic aesthetic you will never get with

A calm tone won't necessarily make the cop calm, but a bold/agressive tone will almost certainly make the cop respond in kind. When I decline a request from a cop, I make sure to do it with a sugared tongue. The cop isn't e

Even randomized numbers wouldn't liberate you from the complainers. 69 and 420 would probably be the first to fall. 13, 88, and 14 would also likely get some people upset. And if you remove 13 but not 4, 17, 39, 616, or 666, you&#x2

Take a closer look at roadkill the next few times you see it. You'll often notice the eyes, tongue, etc are missing. Sometimes the corpse will look like a skeleton with skin but no organs. These are circumstances commonly attributed

Some of them may also have been sleeping nude or nearly so, particularly if their clothes were damp. At least, that's the cold weather camping advice I've received. Maybe they did things differently.

My Bluetooth headphones have been pretty bulletproof since I started using them a few years ago. Battery life still lasts two or three weeks ay my usage levels too. But I only keep them paired to one device, and I understand most of the

Did I stutter? Leave the kids alone. Adults who market harmful products to kids are predatory assholes. I'd hope there is a special place in hell for whoever dreamed up count chocola and all the other bullshit used to sell candied ce

Do-ocracy. Just because none of those devs want it enough to implement it, doesn't mean they'd turn away somebody who did. If somebody wants it bad enough, they'll do it.

Quibble over the word 'empathy' if you like, but those peddling addictive substances to teenagers are still scum.

In your eagerness to paint me as a hypocrite, you forgot one important little detail: I never implied Tesla invented electric cars. No clue what that cmdrtaco quote has anything to do with this conversation, but let me be clear here: you&

So now Tesla is said to be innovating when they adopt old technology invented by others? Truly Tesla is the Apple of cars, getting credit for old shit just because the fanboys know little about the domain outside their favored brand.

If you dig a ditch specifically to be filled with rain water, then in what sense is taking rainwater from that ditch not harvesting rainwater? Is it no longer rainwater if it touches a ditch? Maybe it's no longer rainwater if it tou

My theory is that using cannabis as a coping mechanism to dull your mind to some other sort of trauma or despair will often lead to harder drugs. Cannabis is not a good drug for such coping because with sustained heavy use it will inevitab

Public school anti-drug programs told kids that cannabis use often leads to other drugs, and also said that it would make you peal your skin off to get rid of the spiders. They casually mixed truth with lies to create the most frightening n
