When I was young, polyamorous relationships were extremely uncommon. In 2023, this is becoming less true. While only 4-5% of Americans actually practice polyamory or other forms of non-monogamy, one in six would like to experience this type of relationship. For those who are unaware, polyamory is a relationship in which all partners have relationships with other people, be they emotional, sexual, or both. The growing popularity of polyamorous relationships means we're seeing more about the styl…

One man's trash is another man's... yeah no, it's just trash

Spice up your life

I'm addicted to you (car seats) don't you know that you're toxic?

Let 'em have these ones

I feel like everyone has been in the state of mind where you often tell yourself, “I just have to get through this week.” Of course, when you inevitably get through the week, you start thinking the same thing the next week. This can be a red flag that maybe, just maybe, you're going through an objectively difficult period of your life. But at the same time, it can be the greatest cope known to man. Even if it feels futile, I'm glad we have cute little coping mechanisms like telling ourselves we…

Happy International Workers' Day

My parents bought the old Brooklyn home that I grew up in back in the ‘90s. It cost them about $150k, plus however much it cost to renovate after its previous owner, an elderly hoarder, had evacuated the premises. When they sold the three-story home to retire to Vermont a few years ago, the value had risen to 1.3 million dollars. That’s a staggering 766% increase. And while I'm happy they made bank on their nest egg, the sale was also a sobering reminder that owning a home in this climate - let…

There is a range

As someone who works in a web-based field, spending time online can feel very tiring. The madness of terminally online people can be stressful, and while I'm careful about my blood pressure, some cyberbullies (even on this site) have the unfortunate ability to boil my blood and get my heart pounding. It all makes me wish there was a website where I could, like, do the Internet equivalent of meditating. Some sort of transcendental url hang that makes me forget about the incels and racists of the…

They never get old

Cheeky

Usually, when you go to a restaurant, you get two options for your side dish: french fries or salad . There is one glorious restaurant where if you even ask for fries or salad as your side, you will be laughed out of the establishment because of your gross incompetence. I'm talking, of course, about one of the only drive-in restaurants left in America, Sonic Drive-In. If you've never been to a Sonic, it's difficult to describe the experience. Imagine a fast food place that sits on a hearty foun…
