WordPress, tech crap, guns, and more stupid things with your host, @chairmanbrando!
The new thing, the one with just three videos running across the middle, is kinda lame, ain't it? We had a whole wall of videos, it was good, and it was taken from us. Let's bring it back!

Let's say you've got to position some element at the top of a page but that its top property will have to vary depending on the existence a couple other items that might also be up there. For instance, you want to position: sticky a menu bar but you have to contend with the possible presence of an announcement banner as well as the WP admin bar.
As a purveyor of userstyles, I found myself wanting to change a tiny thing here or there on various sites without giving them each their own tiny stylesheet. I also didn't want to start adding random selectors to a global stylesheet and identifying them by comment; I wanted to identify sites by their domain, e.g. html.apnews-com and keep all styles for that site nested underneath. In order to do this, I think a userscript needs to be involved.

One thing I don't need first thing in the morning or last thing at night is to be visually accosted by emails that include absurdly-colored elements.

Does writing on GDocs have your eyeballs feeling a "closeup in Spongebob" sort of way? Try this!
It's hard to give up something you're addicted to. And with social media being specifically tuned to be as addictive as possible, replete with algorithms tuned to try to steal every waking moment of your life, you may need outside help to quit.
