it's really annoying that any time something else terrible happens in the US due to our government/whatever, there are people who are in a rush to be like "why are you surprised???" as though it's a contest to be the most jaded possible person about how terrible all of our lives are. don't do this

I guarantee you that the sleeping late is the best part here. Why don't little kids appreciate the joy of sleeping in?

Trying not to laugh too hard at the absolute joy in my colleague's voice as he explains to me the luxurious 10th-anniversary weekend away he is about to take without his kids, where they're going to SLEEP LATE and EAT IN A NICE RESTAURANT and WATCH LITERALLY ANY TV THAT IS NOT BLUEY.

Yes you are a curmudgeon, it's nice to have confirmation that someone's running on time.

Shit like this is how we got Doctor Doom crying on 9/11

Maybe I'm a crank but I'm sorry, this is insane

I am sometimes embarrassed by how online I am but I have no idea what everyone is so mad about on this website and I'm thrilled.

One of the wildest "entire audience has the same reaction at the same time" moments I've ever had at the movies wasn't "On your left" or Cap with Mjolnir in Endgame. It was the fate of Bing Bong in Inside Out as an entire audience of adults suddenly had the same realization, simultaneously.

the Google call screen feature is very good, I have had zero scammers bother to try and get around it. Another win for Team Android

The first rule of avoiding scam calls is to never answer unknown numbers, and even some known ones. Curious? Bored? Worried it’s an emergency? Wait the extra minute it takes for the call to go to voice mail, then decide if it’s legitimate.
