NextDoor: A complaint about a smoke shop selling someone pipe tobacco instead of rolling tobacco has more or less turned into an after-school special about the dangers of tobacco use. 85 messages in the thread so far. The hoodlum kids are rising up against the goody-two-shoes and telling them to mind their own beezwax, and someone else is advising getting the Better Business Bureau and/or Chamber of Commerce involved.

I'm watching Mama's Family from the beginning. Five minutes in, and I'm happy with my decision.

I don't know how I ended up in the "Can I ask a dumb tech question" section of the algo, but I want out. I come here to escape that.

The idea of having an ugly sweater contest for Christmas just made someone chuckle. Because it's a very novel idea. Now people are sharing pictures of ugly sweaters. #MicrosoftTeams

All this arguing about clock settings. Spring ahead 30 minutes this spring and leave it. That way everybody can just be moderately unhappy about it year round.

Working ain't no way to make a living.

Baseball negotiation/lockout: I support whichever side makes it so that someone who makes a solid middle class living can afford to go to 4 games a year as a family. So....I guess I support minor league baseball.
