When neighbors start talking, hilarious things happen. This should have been Nextdoor's slogan, because the app is full of priceless posts full of pettiness, gossip, and bizarre observations. Whatever the original intent of the app was is irrelevant at this point, because there's no arguing that Nextdoor's social platform has become a comedy goldmine. Twitter account @bestofnextdoor does the best job compiling all the different gems the app's users find, and we've selected some of our recent fa…

Having a knack for computers is one of the most valuable skills someone can possess. Many people want to be programmers , but only a tiny elite group can actually pull it off successfully. A lot of wannabees think that since they changed their Tumblr theme with HTML in 2012 they can do this extremely difficult job. Coding takes hundreds of hours of your life but when a project is finally complete, it's the greatest feeling in the world. Programmers and coders are also well known for being able…

Horrible bosses are the absolute worst, but many disgruntled employees aren't necessarily in a position to quit their jobs , leaving them stuck in an indefinite 9-5 nightmare. However, when the opportunity to quit does arise, it can feel like the best day of one's life. In a r/MaliciousCompliance post, redditor u/Public_Pressure_4516 explains how their cruel boss seemed to get off on constantly reminding employees that they could get fired at any moment, without notice. When OP finally got the…

Seriously?

Variety is the spice of life, eh? Well, my life is bland as hell. Something like all those memes about how white people don't season their food. I do season my food , but I spend most of my time at a sterile desk in a mind-numbing open office plan, wondering when the I'll be free from this incredibly boring cyclical hell. I could quit my job, but listen. I've got cats to feed. And I couldn't do that to them. So instead of saying “F*ck you, I quit," I'm here, typing away about nothing, and suppl…

Frogs and Cranberries? It must be fall. Much like Mariah Carrey's All I Want For Christmas is You on the Billboard Top 100 Chart, this meme comes crawling back to us seasonally, and we can't get enough of it. But why? On a fundamental level, "Frogs and cranberries it must be fall" is just plain funny. Why must it be fall when these two collide, we non-frog experts ask. What about this amphibian and this fruit coming together marks the period between September 22nd and December 20th? The meme or…

Should we discuss our salaries with our coworkers or not? What was once a workplace faux pas is becoming a common topic among colleagues, and a lot of workers have benefited from more transparency. But when @ramblings_and encouraged the workers of Twitter to discuss pay in the workplace, not everyone was on board. Most people shared stories about how they'd gotten raises after bringing up pay discrepancies to HR, but a number of people argued that it's no one's business how much money they make…

Can't look away

Just do a lipa.

Just a trim

How do you define family? Our go-to definition would be Dominic Toretto's favorite word. But obviously, it's actually a bit deeper than that. While some people (especially my boomer parents) think family is your blood - the group you're born into and descend from. But the reality is a bit different. I consider my neighbors to be family. We spend quality time together at least one night a week, play games and share meals. While family can be people you choose, that's often just a bonus in additi…

It's never too late to start gaming.

Meeting new people is often incredibly awkward and demeaning. Not all of us are Mrs. Peacock from the Clue movie based on the bestselling board game. When she's introduced to a group of new and unfamiliar people in Mr. Boddy's mansion, she monologues, "Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to being a hostess; it's part of my husband's work. And it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet together for the first time to get acquainted. So I'…

Marriage. Marriage is what brings us together. Or what tears us apart, depending on who you're asking. As a millennial whose number of married friends keeps increasing, it's hard not to think about the greatest commitment of all time (besides a life sentence). It's true that the marriage rate is declining in the United States, but maybe that's because people are actually making the choice to spend their lives with another person pretty damn seriously. That uptick of married friends? Well, none…
