Carbon offsets are bullshit.

Relevant John Oliver.

Honestly depending on the person I'd probably just let them live there. The attic is unused and all people deserve not to sleep outside

Yes, but one might assume it is, based on what it's called.

Look, I know that cooking rice isn't rocket surgery, but cooking it in a pot still requires you to babysit it to an extent, otherwise you end up with burnt rice. A rice cooker is the same process, except you can literally fire and forget it and come back when you've cooked other stuff for your meal and you'll have perfectly done, warm rice waiting for you. As a person with ADHD, anything that reduces the mental load and reduces the demands on exact timing is good for the success of my endeavors. Plus you can cut up some veggies and slam them in the steamer on top for more bang for the buck (I don't know if all cookers have those, but ours does and it's great). You can set all that up, make some beans on a pan, add seasoning and you have a quick, healthy, filling meal with very little demand on executive function while making it. Idk I just like having it a lot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I suggest you make an exception for a rice cooker. It's been one of our best purchases and it can do other things besides cook rice too

It's a reference to The Ring, a Japanese horror that was remade in the US. It's about people watching a tape. The depicted girl is Samara, who crawls out of the TV set and warns people that they'll die within 7 days (and then makes sure that happens). Idk it's been a long time since I saw it

I want to believe, but it's hard to buy the "nation fed up with the rich" story days after the quintessential rich guy and rich guy buddy was voted president of said nation...

Hot take: Journalism is a public service and as such should be paid from our taxes, with checks and balances in place to prevent takeover by persons in power.

Well it's still the best justice money can buy, just in a twisted, sinister kind of way and with a big emphasis on the money part

"Things that really should not be run for profit" and "running them for profit anyway because socialism bad"

Yes, and it's glorious that you can do that (just like with a normal PC, just with less portability. People keep forgetting that couch play with a controller is totally a thing on PC too)
