It's a play on a format of post that goes:

I asked my crush out on a date x years ago.
Last night I just asked them to marry me.
They said yes both times and I'm so glad I had the courage to speak up.

As you read the story, you generally assume that they were dating and eventually got engaged. The picture shows a couple that you assume is them before you finish reading. Then you get to the line about how they said no both times and realize it's not the typical boring engagement post, but a joke about being a creep.

The poorly designed feature itself isn't about showing ads, it's just showing the top item of the news feed. The news feed can have ads, depending on what the developer publishes to it, which is why I never scroll down to that section.

This was a survey. They weren't gathering data without consent.

It's hard to imagine police officers not backing their boy.

Luckily builders would set aside space in buildings just in case someone had an idea for how to move between floors without a ladder. Made retrofitting stairs a breeze. You can't even tell that they were added later most of the time.

By drop-off, they mean the top two countries have over a billion people and the third country only has 330 million.

There are benefits to them being enchantments. They are permanents, so can bounce it back to hand and replay. They can also be flickered and there are creatures that can relock/reunlock the rooms. Being an enchantment instead of something new allows you to interact with them with spells like disenchant and you can splash them into enchantment decks instead of them being stuck to one Room deck forever.

That's not a super fair comparison, since B-Boy and B-Girl breaking styles are very different. Women usually lack the upper body strength to do as many power moves that most of the men do.

I have a weird issue where my USB headset doesn't show up in my list of devices whenever I turn my computer on (including waking from sleep) and I have to unplug and replug it. It's a small thing, but it's a little maddening when you think about how you wouldn't have to deal with it if you had just booted into Windows.

I need to try changing ports. I was considering trying it, but I was being stubborn. That fixing your problem gives me hope.

Heh. If you're so smart, why did you make a typo? I'm not going to listen to an idiot who doesn't know the difference between and .

You've got to be on constant alert or your phone's autocorrect changing lets to let's at the wrong time will derail the entire conversation.

Best place to start (self.startrek)

I've been wanting to get into Star Trek, but I'm not sure the best place to start. I'm sure there's a wide range of opinions.

Some shows 'get good after season 1'. I'm a little worried that I'll end up picking a star trek show with a weak start and then dropping it before the parts people actually like. I vaguely remember reading these sort of comments about TNG.
