If music was reviewed like videogames are:

"This metal song has too much drums."

"I wish this song wasn't metal, I like Rap. It should be Rap."

"The song is good but they should hire a new singer"

"The thing is they're using Gibson guitars, they need to switch to Fender and it'll sound better"

I’m sorry you’re constantly pummeled with the worst parts of the world instead of daring to shine in your little corner of it.

It is my prerogative to change my mind as a woman. Rule doesn’t apply to us.

Steam community: “Can we play as a male character?”

Me (indie dev in this economy):
“Best I can do is sentient tofu.”

My mom saw a research thing I “might want to sign up for” that is focused on what she describes as those “video masks”
I asked her if it was Oculus or HoloLens and she has no idea

Remember when Zuck said he was adding legs to VR but the entire demo was canned motion capture and instead they just put in some inverse kinematic-sorta legs and you couldn’t even see your own legs, only other people’s?

My friend Eddie is sweet and reliable if anyone in the Seattle area needs a pet sitter.

Etsy is kicking off witches? All that will be left is drop shipped stuff from the same places as amazon get it

I do Squarespace. They’ve got the whole ecosystem, from buying the URL to hosting and even doing transactions on the site. Also they work responsively so your window dimensions can be many sizes without sacrificing the design.

They’re hoping your finger will slip one of these times

Dice but your randomized result comes in the form of a unique noise that two of the dice make when they tap together.

Every time I do a math, a scientist should have to do an art so they can know failure too.

It truly is easier to murder someone than it is to get healthcare through any insurance.
Today I spent half of my appointment crying at the front desk instead of being treated and ultimately I had to basically sign a blank check to get any treatment at all.

Please share or boost

Thick yogurt became a trending around here in the 2010s.
You might be looking for regular yoplait in the white cups that look a lil upside down. Narrower at the top.

Screenshot of a Facebook group page that appears to be gamified with a misleading progress bar. At the top, the name “Heather Coles” appears beside a profile icon and a blue badge reading “601 points.” The “Your contributions” tab is selected. Below, “601 points” appears again in large text, followed by “in A better group where all we do is polls.” A horizontal meter with three labeled nodes appears beneath: the first node is “Rising contributor 700 pts” with a star icon; the middle node is “Top contributor 1500 points” with a ribbon icon; the far-right node is “All-star contributor 5000 pts” with a trophy icon. The graphic is misleading, making it look like 1500 is half of 5000 and making 601 points, Heather’s score, appear closer to 900 points. Under the meter, the page says “You’re close to earning a rising contributor badge!” and, in smaller text, “You’re 99 points away from earning the badge.”

How'd I get signed up for a game I didn't sign up for?
How did I get trapped in this maze with no walls?
How much are points? Do these have street value?

One time I made a very placeholder-y placeholder, much like this, and someone was like “You should replace it with better placeholder.” And I was just like “naw” because that’s sone BS busywork. Just put in a finished asset. It’s not supposed to look GOOD it’s supposed to look IRRITATING.
