I just listened to Jeffries on Jon Stewart’s podcast and it was all of the same old generalities.
Especially after Stewart’s recent interview with her.
Host of the podcast Almost Plausible, where I and a couple of friends take an ordinary object (such as a paperclip, eggnog, or a toilet brush) and come up with a movie plot based on that object.

In my experience, Hinge is still the best, but all of the apps have the same fundamental flaw. Imagine every person in your area who is single is in one big room and you line up to meet each other one at a time. That’s basically how they work. Want to skip meeting people with different political or religious beliefs? No problem! Just pay up (and by the way, it’s not cheap). Also, the filters are critically limited and largely superficial. It’s a slog no matter what.
From what I’ve heard, OkCupid used to work properly as a way to find people who were actually a good match for you, but Match group bought them and stripped all the tools that made it useful. I actually recently saw a great comment about exactly that.
Almost Plausible is a show where three friends take ordinary objects (for example, a paperclip, a ceiling fan, or a toilet brush) and create movie plots based on those objects.
Full disclaimer: This is my podcast.
You could call them The Silent Generation.

No, wait…
In my last house, the previous owners left a folder with information about various known quirks, which came in handy. They also left manuals for things like the stove and fireplace, as well as contact info for contractors they had used over the years. It ended up being a sort of owner’s manual for the house that we really appreciated. We did the same when we moved out.
My current house… There’s an under-cabinet CD player/radio in the kitchen that I almost never use, and the previous owners left the soundtrack to the Trolls movie in it, so I guess there’s that?
Radiolab has a great episode about Stockholm Syndrome, and how what we think we know is wrong.

I loved BoingBoing 20(ish) years ago. Several years ago I stopped visiting because SO MANY of their posts were just ads. I went to the site today because a friend linked to a story and just… Wow. The site is cancer now.
Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. If they want to fight so badly, they can fight each other directly. Don’t get the rest of us involved.
I have a podcast that I create with a couple of friends. We take an ordinary object—such as a ceiling fan, or a paper clip, or a toilet brush—and we create a movie plot based on that object. The show is called Almost Plausible, and can be found wherever you listen to podcasts.
So here are some timely tips to help protect your location privacy.
The article explains each one in detail, but the list is:
I grew up in Hawaii and used to visit Florida because my grandmother had a winter place there. I agree with your comment completely.
Early in my career, a co-worker was fired for (among other things), frequently sleeping at his desk when he was supposed to be working. The entire company was half a dozen people in a single room. I have no idea what he was thinking.
Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to be a documentary.
My first thought (you might even call it my gut reaction) was “my microbiome,” so it’s along similar lines to yours.
What a lovely false equivalency!
What happened to “my body, my choice?” I choose to put vaccines in my body.
I have a friend who hates grocery shopping, so they get their food delivered, but then constantly complains about nonsensical substitutions. They’re not wrong that the substitutions don’t make sense, but there’s a really easy way to ensure you get exactly what you want…
