On today's episode of "Lets Avoid The Obvious Answer": https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2026/05/20/how-relieve-back-pain-sitting/ The article gives exactly five (5) recommendations for reducing back pain caused by sitting too much. Do you think one of those recommendations would be...

I've used nokia flip phones for the last 20+ years and never had it happen. I abuse the shit out of these phones. One fell in the toilet (yes). One fell in saltwater. I drop them almost daily. I've never managed to make one stop working. I believe you that its happened but I'm just really...

People that don't understand the difference between "this room is too hot/cold" and "I'm too hot/cold". Especially common in perimenopausal women. Extra hilarious if they're rapidly moving their arm back and forth to "fan" themselves, thus generating extra body heat in the process, while...

https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2026/05/20/harvard-faculty-vote-limit-grades-undergraduates/ This is sincerely a good move for higher education. And having Harvard lead the way is a good thing, the wannabe Ivys will follow suit and it will trickle down. One thing about the article is...

What is your mom doing with her phone? Mine have always been indestructable. I keep them for years, a decade sometimes, until a network upgrade forces me to get a new flip phone that is similarly indestructable. Once could be a fluke. If its happened more than once, IMO you should investigate...

That post about donating to a charity reminds me I havent ranted about this issue in a while. Its getting worse. This "will you round up to donate to X". The correct answer is "No, I am not participating in your obvious tax fraud and I hope when the lawsuits catch up with you it bankrupts your...

One way streets. Every now and then I drive through a city whose designers had some sick fetish for one way streets, and my need to commit genocide rises a little bit higher. Whatever issue you were attempting to solve with one way streets, any other solution would be better and no solution...

No. That is exactly how the timeline played out the first time. Why would you be OK with repeating it after watching where it leads? They didnt start out by casting oogabooga tribesmen straight out of the mud hut. They started out with the Hallie Berrys. No. Step number 1 for any casting...

Yeah its funny I went through exactly that series of reactions - "this would actually be a better ending than I was expecting" "wait this used to be considered a total copout and shitty way to end a series"

Yeah. I mean even if you're fully asexual, having a conversation with a girl is "torture"? Date, don't date, fuck, don't fuck, whatever. But having a conversation over dinner isnt "torture" and if it seems that way to you, this is a bigger issue that should be addressed.

Ep 1 not bad, very Yellowstone. I continue to question whether making a show around Beth was a good idea. They didn't follow up Breaking Bad with Skylar: The Show. I don't think they have the balls to make her realize that being a giant bitch to everyone isnt actually a good way to live your...

It is still the worst thing on the menu, and thats a big statement for a place that serves a fucking fish sandwich (OK this statement is not really fair because obviously I have never ordered the fucking fish sandwich) I mean its bland fucking lunchmeat, kind of warmed up, slopped on a bun...

This is correct and also even once people realize it they still won't stop. The perspective from the outside is fuckin wild.

Oh for actual fucks sakes. No. What compels people to pretend this? Whats the payoff?
