Best of LifehackerWhether we’ve made a complicated recipe absurdly simple, illustrated how to survive a natural disaster, or explained a political crisis in terms even your great-grandma would understand, these are some of our favorite stories from the past year.We had a lot of opinions this year, every one of them perfect, but some more perfect than others. The Lifehacker staff talked amongst ourselves and decided these were our best opinion pieces in 2019. Thank you for agreeing.

“A reply guy, in his simplest form, is a man who replies in the hopes of getting attention, usually making the conversation about himself.

“You absolutely cannot ‘Marie Kondo your LinkedIn network in 4 steps.’ No matter how many steps you take, LinkedIn will never spark joy.”

“You will have plenty of time to talk business in all the other parts of your trip where you are forced into company bonding. The flight is your time to watch Mama Mia: Here We Go Again and not think about managing a team.”
by Beth Skwarecki
“This includes the kids, by the way. They have 364 other days to eat their vegetables. Don’t push them to eat more. Don’t talk about your own food anxieties in front of them. Just let them eat their damn rolls in peace, like everyone else.”
by A.A. Newton
“Mixing pastry dough could not be simpler; all you’re doing is barely binding cold fat and flour together with a little water.”

“There are fit women out there with every conceivable body composition. Working out can give you Michelle Obama arms, or it can make you really fucking ripped. Where you land on that spectrum is more or less within your control, but you have to understand how things actually work.”
by Michelle Woo
“Children aren’t fools.”
by Joel Kahn
“By always going to the same place (and if you want to take it up a notch, ordering the same thing), you do not need to rely on any unknowns to color your perception of your new suitor.”
Please feel free to share the many ways you agreed with us this year.
