- ‘I’ve Never Thanked My Parents for Anything’: A fascinating look at the meaning of “thank you” in India versus America. I try to never say “thank you” in a perfunctory way: actually feeling the gratitude helps make me a more benevolent person.
- I Tried to Sext the Most Famous Male Porn Star and This Is What He Sent Me Back: This is funny and cute and remarkably tame.
- The Great Suspender: All of my problems with Chrome chewing up memory have been solved by this extension, which suspends pages not in use after a certain time period.
- Be Kind: “Being kind is fundamentally about taking responsibility for your impact on the people around you. It requires you be mindful of their feelings and considerate of the way your presence affects them.”
- No, you may not clear my plate: This complaint is odd, because I’d really prefer not to have empty dishes sitting in front of me for 20 minutes while I wait for my slow-eating friends to finish their meal. To me, clearing the empty plates makes me feel like I can relax more comfortably and hence, not secretly wish those friends to be done right the heck now.
- Driving advice from a trauma surgeon: I like a comment that Chris Land made about driving safety at SnowCon, namely that he reminds himself whenever he gets into his car that this is the most dangerous thing he does in any given day. For me, that’s true… and that’s saying something.
- An interview with the Baltimore cop who’s revealing all the horrible things he saw on the job: Well worth a read.
- There’s a single nerve that connects all of your vital organs — and it might just be the future of medicine: Fascinating!
- When an Open Relationship Comes at a Price: This is remarkably good… because the message is more complex than the headline suggests, thank goodness.
- Tell Culture: LIKE LIKE LIKE!
