  I also most definitely heard about a similar experiment years ago using lipstick.

  Yeah, I really don’t understand what changed or why. By the time I was in high school, pretty much everyone had a cell phone, but they’d get confiscated if they went off in class or we were caught using them during school hours, and that included all break periods. I remember a teacher threatening to take my phone away when I was using my phone to call my dad for a ride home after I had finished my exams for the day. For high school kids, I could see arguments on both sides for whether they should be allowed during breaks, but definitely not during class periods.

  Things were a little more flexible in college, but they were still expected to be silent, and some professors would ask you to leave the class if your phone went off or was otherwise causing a distraction.

  Ditto. My original account was on kbin.social, so it’s not like I even have the option to use it anymore. I’m sure plenty of people started out on one of the big, general instances, then eventually moved elsewhere.

  Pretty Little Liars. It was always a “guilty pleasure” show, but by the end, my friends and I were just “hate watching” it, begging for it to end.

  Archer. Has that finally ended?

  Dr. Grip. I love the “shake to advance” thing and the huge, squishy grip.

  Agreed, just trying to point out that if the laid off employees were corporate, not retail, the $15/hr assumption is probably pretty low. If retail, those could be spread across the country, and $15/hr is probably pretty generous. Starbucks HQ is in the city of Seattle, which has an even higher minimum wage than the state (I think $20.76/hour now?).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starbucks continues to be terrible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Was it baristas that were laid off or office workers? Minimum wage for their corporate headquarters is a bit over $20/hour, and I’d suspect very few corporate employees are making only minimum wage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your bath mat situation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember reading something a while ago that said the rubber backed mats should never go in the dryer, and while I forget the exact reason, it wasn’t just because the dryer damages the mat. Searching online, it looks like the rubber can also damage the dryer and poses an increased fire risk.
