I get Robin Wright vibes. Maybe they were going for the subliminal House of Cards reference?

Your mother in law is a real one. Hopefully this answers some questions!

I haven't played monopoly since about 1996, but the house rules in your first point were how I was taught the game. Crazy how ingrained those mods are, and where tf did they come from!?

I'm glad my dexcom app has a persistent notification. I can check my blood sugar and rate of change with a quick swipe down rather than launching the app

Or maybe I misunderstood what OP is talking about

I dunno, this one just sounds like common sense to me.

Which is totally fine in a movie where little callbacks and winks to the audience make sense--like Tarantino flicks or cheesy slashers. Where it gets annoying is when it's plopped into something like a serious historical drama or atmospheric sci fi. In so many cases it's just jarring and snaps you out of the movie world for awhile

For the life of me, I can't figure out the thought process behind DRLs.

Let's create a separate set of headlights that are always on for safety and visibility... They won't be quite as bright as actual headlights, but they are bright enough that you might think you have your headlights on. Oh, and no tail lights for some reason!

Even my 2013 with headlights that turn off automatically when they are in the ON and the car is shut off, still insists I'm supposed to use the AUTO mode which only activates in low light.

Nothing about about it makes any logical or safety sense. There is zero reason whatsoever that the standard for 30 years hasn't been for all standard lights to be on whenever the engine is running, with the specific option to turn them off if desired.

Try it again while high... I am shook 🤯

That's not even tilt shift (which would imply some deliberate effort )... the doofus just used the portrait setting on their phone which is meant to frame a face not a detached garage lol

Why may it have been considered "no big deal" at the time?

Because the people who thought that way believed that the people being enslaved were literally sub-human.

So the question is still why is it relevant in any context whether slavery was considered acceptable at the time?

Saying they picked their parents wisely is a sarcastic way of saying they were lucky which family they were born into, in a way that pokes fun at our tendency to attribute their success to decisons rather than luck and circumstance. The reviewer does not honestly believe they consciously selected their own parents lmao

So don't buy non-replaceable fixtures?

How is removing incandescent bulbs from the marketplace going to increase the installation of fixtures with non-replaceable components, when such fixtures never used incandescent bulbs in the first place?
