Remember how in the 90s sometimes when you answered the phone with "hello," you'd get absolutely blasted for rudeness for not answering with "good morning/afternoon/evening, ________ residence, _______ speaking" or whatever bs idea they had as the only way to answer a phone?

Not to be American on main, but a friend had this silverware when we lived in the same house and I said it looked like it was designed in a lab to piss me off

No more family Thanksgivings! My parents are basically a write-off anyway, and my mother-in-law at the last one deliberately tried to disguise something I can't eat in almost every dish.
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

They're also responsible for one of the best emails I've ever received, when the college office sent out a plea for sightings of Professor Biscuit while conveniently forgetting to mention that he was a cat...(I won't comment on how often a similar email might have gone out about human Professors...)

College cats of Oxford
Once upon a time, we featured an image of Magdalen's kitten, Ozymandias, in our newsletter. We figured it might be a gentle contrast to our regular diet of planning and local politics.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)
