Seems like an odd group to take a random swipe at. Also, HTML?

A lot do, but also a lot don't. It's household by household.

I'll also mention that you can probably expect people who grew up in no-shoe households to have strong feelings about it.

I agree, Terranigma is a great game!

A lot of people euphemistically use "school night" to mean work night.

"Senioritis" usually describes people who have checked out because they have a short amount of time left and have already received college admissions, so their grades don't matter much.

I'm in my 40s and I still regularly have dreams that I somehow didn't really graduate high school.

Consumers have limited visibility into the conditions under which their products are made, and consumer behavior does not always result in the most desirable outcome for the public. Which makes it a regulation problem. That's why regulation exists.

False dichotomy here. Americans could certainly reduce their intake of meat without going full vegan. Regulations could be created to treat livestock more humanely without completely eliminating factory farming, which yes would increase prices, which would probably also reduce meat consumption somewhat. Also population growth within the US has dropped off quite a bit and is projected to further decline.

If you're talking about the box, understandable. If you're talking about actual mac and cheese, maybe you just don't know anyone who knows how to cook.

That's kind of my point...if you can't manage a decent mac and cheese, you pretty much can't cook at all.

Well, I mean, I can think of several different variations of a stovetop version (bechamel, the sodium citrate, or the condensed milk version that's been gaining popularity), a question of whether to bake it or not, endless add-ins, choices of cheese to use, choice of pasta to use. Making a bechamel without lumps is not hard but it does require some knowledge of basic technique. And it is actually conceivable that someone would use fresh pasta, which is a whole different ballgame. So while macaroni and cheese in its most basic is not at all a difficult dish it leaves tons of room for putting a personal spin on it...which means it has plenty of ways it can go wrong, too. I've certainly had plenty of disappointing mac and cheese in my life, sometimes at restaurants that really should be able to do better.

Yeah? Fancy baked mac and cheese isn't uncommon at all, sometimes dressed up with stuff like lobster and truffle oil, or sometimes as some sort of baked Wisconsin three cheese deal with crispy bread crumbs. Or it's a staple side at BBQ restaurants, and a lot of people people will judge a place harshly on its quality. I've also seen a lot of fried mac and cheese wedges on pub menus (which I do not recommend, just fill your wedges with cheese instead, the extra carbs add nothing).

This just comes down to the fact that "dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by the inverse of the fraction" is an easy rule to follow but not particularly intuitive. In natural language, when most people hear "divide by half" they're actually picturing "divide by two" in their head.

A lot of these fashion labels have just killed their brands by pushing out massive numbers of cheap diffusion lines.

How exactly are they spinning showing ads in the start menu as a thing that a user would want?

I'm really wondering the story behind the taking of this picture.

Isn't saying that allowing apps to have root lets them access anything just describing what root is? A rooted phone doesn't have to give superuser access to every app.

Alright I won't argue about that specific version's point, but this is basically a template for constructing a strawman argument.
