The last time I used actual blades was the Mach 3, which worked great.
Not I just use a Philips Oneblade.

The secret to this is not believing in the promotion fairy.
If you want a promotion, apply for it at another company. If you get it, awesome, if you don’t, try at a 3rd company.
At my current job, the agreement is I do the job you hired me for, and you give me the money and benefits we agreed upon.

I was there in the olden times when “the news” came on at 6p and 11p and could be trusted.
I was there when if someone told you blatant disinformation (we called them urban legends) there was no way to check it.
I was there when people paid money out of their own pockets for newspapers and magazines.
“News” today is no different than YouTubers and TikTokers trying to get views so they can get ad revenue. The more sensational but believable, the better.
We did this to ourselves. I haven’t paid for any news since whatever the last time was that I bought a magazine or a newspaper, but it was not this decade, that’s for sure.
There’s literally nothing left on this here “Information Superhighway” other than disinformation and ads. That’s the only revenue stream there is for “the news” anymore. We’ve incentivized disinformation. We did this.

- Comment on When will the all white home with grey floors trend be over? 3 weeks ago:
This is just my personal experience after many houses where we went all in on the paint…I no longer want my walls to have interesting colors.
Why? Painting is hard work and if you don’t like the color then you have to repaint. Or if you outgrow the color then you have to repaint.
Nowadays we stick to white walls and we decorate with color. Paintings, throws, pillows, furniture, dinnerware. Pop your colors and show your style there.

Yes. My wife also puts Sharpies next to the stack of Solo cups so everyone at the party can write their name on their cup.
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 3 weeks ago:
Are these people actually actively working in the in the immunology and virology field, or are they paid schills who used to have real jobs but now work for a “think tank” for 10 times what they were making?
I think you’ll find that these outliers are no longer actively working and have been corrupted by either money or cognitive decline.
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 3 weeks ago:
Yes. That’s the point. A PhD in Geology does not in any way to qualify a person to declare the safety and efficacy of a vaccine.
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 3 weeks ago:
That’s the thing though…in real life that anesthesiologist is going to be just as confident in their shitty opinion about immigration as a high-school dropout.
I want that anesthesiologist and that high school dropout to admit that they don’t know as much about immigration as a sociologists, demographers, and immigration lawyers, and should trust those professional opinions rather then their own shitty opinions that are probably based on cable news shows.

He’s real.
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 3 weeks ago:
There it is though.
An actual “Economist” will have a Masters in Economics at the least or a PhD in Economics at the research level.
So I would and should indeed trust an economist on matters of economics more than anyone should trust, well, you on matters of economics.
You just proved the point of the post. Unless I missed that you are an economist and are poking fun at yourself…
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 3 weeks ago:
Holy shit yes. Everybody thinks they’re smarter then everybody else. That’s a huge part of the problem. Nobody can just stay in their lane and admit anymore that a person with a PhD in a specific field might know a little more about that field than you. Even the educated now think they’re the smartest person on the planet.
You 100% should not trust:
- An epidemiologist’s opinion on inflation
- A civil engineer’s opinion on viral spread
- An economist’s opinion on traffic flow
They’re just as guilty of this bullshit as everyone else. It’s everybody. The whole fucking planet at this point.
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 1 month ago:
I hate it.
Luckily I work a 4x10 right now. But I’m sure somebody somewhere in my company’s management has noticed I am just slightly less miserable than I could be.
I would legitimately work a 2x20 if I could.
- Comment on Put your seat back or no? 1 month ago:
There is no etiquette. That’s a flawed argument.
The seats are designed the way they are by the airlines. They allow the minimum amount of space for the maximum amount of money.
The airlines could make all seats non-reclining with very little effort. But they would lose money because non-reclining seats would be a dealbreaker to a small but not insignificant number of customers…me for one.
The airlines could also make seats more comfortable and reclinable by allowing more space for each seat. But they would lose money because they would sell less seats.
The seats recline the small amount they do because of the natural equilibrium that the market allows between comfort and profit. End of story.
You peasants arguing about which other peasant is a terrible person are blaming the wrong people.
- Comment on Slice of ketchup anyone? 1 month ago:
I’ve tried it. The ketchup flavor gets concentrated. It’s actually a neat idea and not an abomination against nature like a lot of the comments here. There are plenty of recipes online if you want to make your own at home.
The abomination is how Hellman’s had to dumb it down and call it “ketchup slices”.
- Comment on Slice of ketchup anyone? 1 month ago:
This is ketchup leather. It’s not a new idea; it’s been around since fancy burger places with wood walls and exposed edison light bulbs started to be a thing in the early 2010s.
It’s just dehydrated ketchup. It makes ketchup more of a topping than a condiment and helps prevent the problem of everything squirting out of the other side of the bun when you take a bite.
- Comment on We are so close 2 months ago:
I mean I used to regularly have a Cuba Libre made with Caffeine Free Coke Zero. I’d definitely say it has a use; rum and Coke with lime after a nice dinner is fucking delicious, and the zero caffeine doesn’t keep me awake at night.
I haven’t seen Caffeine Free Coke Zero in any of my local stores for years so I’ll be on the lookout for this new “zero caffeine, zero sugar” version.
- Comment on When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances 2 months ago:
Yeah you would need like 99.9% of the drivers in the US to agree to this. I don’t think you could even get 70% of the selfish fucks on our roads to do this. Guaranteed 3 out of 10 cars would wonder why everyone else is a bunch of losers and head straight down the middle, which would never actually exist in the first place because 7 out of 10 cars being considerate is nowhere near enough…
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 2 months ago:
Just drink water. You’ve ruined yourself over all these years by drinking juice/soda/Brawndo. You keep buying into the lie that “you don’t like water”.
You’ll get used to it and eventually come to want water. It’s literally what your body craves. Humans have existed for 300 millenia; mass produced sugary drinks have only existed for what, 100 years? You’ve evolved to drink water.
- Comment on 3.9% APR 2 months ago:
I’ve owned two Suzuki Samurais at different times in my life as my primary mode of transportation for a total of about 12 years of my life. Somehow I managed to keep all 4 wheels on the ground the whole time…well except for the times I purposefully took it airborne. Which both Samurais also had no problem with.
- Comment on Y'all ever have intrusive thoughts about accidentally dropping stuff in storm drains? (particulary when you have your phone out) And like if that happens, wtf is someone supposed to do? 3 months ago:
I feel like an intrusive thought would be more like wondering if you should intentionally drop your phone to see what happens.
Worrying about dropping your phone is actually smart and not intrusive. It’s very pragmatic to be concerned about the possibility of an accident and to try to prevent it. Some people don’t have enough of those thoughts…
- Comment on We all know crack was introduced primarily to black neighbor hoods. Why them? Why not people in the Appalachians? Or in Asian neighbor hoods all over the west coast? 3 months ago:
As a few others have mentioned here… it’s because they were black.
I’ve personally witnessed a racist try to explain to an South Asian friend of mine that he was “OK” because there’s black people and everyone else. I was flabbergasted because this wasn’t some nazi skinhead or something, but instead was an older white gentleman.
All racism is bad. But there’s racism, and then there’s racism in the USA towards black people, which unless you’ve witnessed it, it’s hard to understand how it is a whole other level of racism.

Same. I don’t want to sound cliche but yeah. E.T.
And there are people saying that they immediately knew it was bad. When I was 12 I would play any video game for as long as I could. And I remember screen after screen of just terrible, unimaginative redundant gameplay and wondering if I was doing it wrong…
