Because vacation is often camping or staying in a hotel. And there aren't reasonably-priced laundry facilities in either place

But sure, if you have a washing machine in the place you're staying... Even then, washing every couple of days feels excessive.

But I'm not the one packing 32 shirts either

Is Flappy Bird a good game?

It was a classic game concept. My earliest memory was of a helicopter game in the 80s, where the game worked basically the exact same way with worse graphics.

It's a very 80s game idea, and those games weren't for everyone, to be sure. But Flappy Bird wasn't a bad game, just a typical time waster of its decade. With Super Mario graphics.

Right? Like I have every reason to believe that statistically, at least 50% of women are smarter than me. But this is a blanket statement, and that's where I disagree

Though I'm sure a woman who is smarter than me can explain it, so I will probably concede to that

Anon has a problem with Bioshock

BioShock 2 revealed that Andrew Ryan had a secret prison to throw people into when they disrupted his control over the city. And more than once he decided he would burn it all down rather than let someone else win.

It may have masqueraded as anarchy, but the system was still rigged from the start. There was always a ruler. And power can corrupt even the strongest idealistic convictions

Try it. It'll ruin your life

I suppose I'm in the minority here, but I avoid video or audio content entirely in these situations. I don't want to listen to somebody babble on about something, whether it's a news story, a documentary, an opinion piece, whatever. Just give me an article or even a blog post that I can read at my own pace, and easily scroll up to refer back to previous parts.

Ctrl+F is my best friend, and you can't do that in a video or podcast.
