Another day, another example of insane entitlement that makes us want to scream. There's very little as insulting as being told that "exposure" is a decent substitute for monetary payment, and this fine gentleman seems willing to die defending the fairness of free labor in exchange for a networking opportunity. Fortunately, the recipient of his texts stood their ground and called him on his bullshit. Giving people this kind of hell is the only chance we have of changing this absolutely insane mindset.
It's always exciting to encounter a brand new batch of dank memes. Why, you ask? Because dank memes are basically the window into the soul of pop culture. Sounds pretty deep, doesn't it?
There are average people, and then there are those that suffer from the burden of superior knowledge. It's just something that one must learn to embrace and cope with. For now, there are intellectual memes to help you feel understood.
We lament the end of The Office all the damn time, but we're starting to realize the show has been pretty much immortalized by memes. It's almost impossible to scroll through Instagram or Reddit without stumbling upon hilarious jokes about the show or using its imagery. While the show concluded over six years ago, it's brought us some incredible meme formats - most of which are represented in this gallery. Our favorite? It's definitely Jim Smiling Through Blinds, but there's something here for every Office fan.
We live in a time where people feel the need to be busy all the damn time. When people ask how we're doing, our thoughts generally turn to work or school, or how we feel about being bogged down by the responsibilities. It's important to remember that we're not just pawns of capitalist society. There's more to life than making money. We all need moments to decompress and remember that simple joys are just as important as productivity. While memes aren't necessarily going to improve your life, they are the perfect way to take a break and turn off that overactive brain of yours. This gallery is for anyone who needs that moment of purely amusing solace.
Yesterday, the person in front of me at the coffeeshop insisted on paying for my dirty chai latte. One of those sweet random acts of kindness that restores your faith in humanity for at least a little while. These pics, social media posts, and memes will probably have the opposite effect on your brain. Instead of instilling hopeful optimism, these posts (and the people behind them) absolutely terrify us. And even so, they're entertaining as hell. We can't stop thecringeso we may as well enjoy it.
We're heading into the winter season, and you know what that means - it's time to hibernate and fatten up on delicious Christmas-y baked goods. Unless you live in Hawaii, in which case screw you for not having to deal with the cold. For the rest of us, here are 15 memes about the winter season.
While holidays like Christmasobnoxiously push capitalism and materialism, there's something unarguably nice about receiving a thoughtful gift from a person you love. These gifts, and some of the stories behind them, do not fall into this category. From dead birds to bags of hair, these anecdotes from Redditors are guaranteed to make you appreciate those socks your mom insists on giving you every year.
These memes likely won't make sense to anyone who doesn't live in North Dakota, or hasn't at least been through a harsh Midwestern winter. It sounds freaking brutal and we don't envy you at all.
So at the very least try to stay warm and browse through these memes at your leisure while you sip some hot cocoa.
You don't need to be a history scholar to appreciate the informed comedy of these history memes. From Henry VIII to classic World War II memes, these jokes will make you feel like you aced history class, whether you did or not. And if these memes don't satisfy your nerdy cravings, these historical tidbits of humor might do the trick.
Sending risque photos of yourself is pretty much always nerve-wracking, but it's even worse when the recipient replies in a less-than-enthusiastic manner. Twitter user cal_gif tweeted out her own highly disappointing response from a recipient of her nude photos, and people began replying with their own experiences.
So with all of that being said, nude photo-recipients, please take note and don't say these things. We repeat, do NOT say these things.
Remember that extremely callous and heavily mocked text template from a couple weeks ago? It seems that some more aspiring Twitter shrinks are looking to dethrone the "I'm At My Emotional Capacity" text template as the most insensitive way to communicate with someone you care about. The latest culprit in oblivious and hurtful communication comes from @YanaBirt, who took to Twitter to offer up a way to drop news that could hurt a friend in a conscientious way.
"Are you in the right headspace to receive information that could possibly hurt you?"
Most people on Twitter seem to agree that this is a terrible move, especially for people with anxiety. Nobody likes a "We need to talk" moment, and this is one that's dressed up being thoughtful. While we appreciate the outcry against this borderline-manipulative sentence, we appreciate the sassy and hilarious memes the text has created even more. And we've put together the very best examples just for you.
