They can be complicated

This should be common sense

We're either living in a golden or dark age of “man on the street" interviews.

Rich people, right? It's pretty easy to discern who grew up with wealth with a quick conversation. Not to say that's an inherently bad thing; some of my closest friends are complete trust fund babies. It's just that there's an inherent disconnect between those who grew up with and without money. One of the most extreme examples I've personally experienced is the anecdote my friend explained to me that her private school ran a poverty simulation to hopefully generate some sort of empathy or at l…

What's going on

It goes without saying, there is a lot of evil in this world. For the most part, companies and businesses are rewarded for bad behavior . The end goal of any operation is to make money, so with that in mind, you can imagine that a lot of the largest, most successful businesses engage in less-than-ethical behavior often. It doesn't take a genius to realize that. The only way we're going to improve the world, even marginally, is going to be by discussing the actions of the guilty. There are a lot…

As an individual who survived as a restaurant server, the initial quarantine and closure of indoor dining hit me extremely hard financially. Add that on top of…

What's the stupidest thing that you've ever heard someone say? Just last week, I got into an argument with a friend over the correct term for a bin of missing items. They were under the impression that it was “lost in found” and not “lost and found." The fact that they weren't kidding baffled me.

On top of that, the world is so full of mystery that it can get overwhelming at times. As a result, it’s understandable that many of us have questions. Thankfully, that’s exactly what the internet was intended for. Although the guiding light of Yahoo Answers may have burned down like the Library of Alexandria, we are lucky enough to have been given a substi…
