One of the hardest things about being a programmer is that you're not subject to the typical 9-5 workday. For many workers, if you can't get it done by Friday, you can merely shrug and get back to it on Monday morning. When you're a programmer, you have to work until the code is done and it works, and that's a lot easier said than done. Nobody knows why there are always so many problems with code when you first finish it. At this point, it's a medical mystery. But there is always something you…

Not-so-fun facts

It's been a long day, and you've done so much. You've accomplished what many people have failed at: continuing to be alive. Whether you spent that day ignoring your chores and watching Frasier reruns or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the second time, you deserve a nice long sleep. Whether the night is young or elderly, you can get some shut-eye . But not just yet. After all, you need to accomplish at least one last thing before you go to bed. Why not consume a story? Consuming a story might ver…

We often highlight some of the funniest jokes that Twitter has to offer for those who normally wouldn't go near the bird website with a ten-foot pole. But it would be a lie to portray Twitter as anything other than a cesspool of horrific takes and the sort of cringe that can only come from brains rotted by the internet. For those of us sickos who can't get enough of social media's cringiest moments, @benner's thread is a goldmine of the worst tweets ever twote. Before you dive into this content…

Alright, y'all. You can stop what you're doing and rejoice because even though it's not Tuesday, we've got a big bunch of Lord of the Rings memes that we wanna share with you. As much as we love sharing the freshest Tolkien-related memes possible (on a weekly basis), sometimes it's nice to enjoy some old and gold classics like the memes in this gallery. While we're definitely enjoying Lord of the RIngs: The Rings of Power, it's also refreshing to scroll through memes that are free of both spoil…

Woah

Being an Airbnb hater is a big part of who I am and what I do. I distinctly recall being on a family vacation, waiting outside in freezing weather for over an hour for the owner of the apartment to give my family the key. The owner drove a moped and I could tell that he did not feel sorry, not one bit. The best Airbnb experience I had was at a place virtually identical to a hotel, and honestly, that doesn't even count. Despite my bitterness, Airbnb's used to be novel and fun as a concept for mo…

Not all dads are created equal. And not all dads are technically dads . See, while some Dads stay up late to help with homework, or teaching their progeny to shoot hoops (or paper into a trashcan), there are those who can be considered nothing short of distant. There are also those who aren't in the picture. So in this sense, some moms are dads, and then there are the grandpas who are “dads” to their grandkids. So the thing is, “dad humor” as we know it can never be solely for the fathers that…

Good evening, or morning, internet users, abusers and even lamenters. It is not a big secret that life is a largely torturous experience, and that our blip of an existence is completely futile. That said, most of us can't help but crave the chance to do what we want with that fleeting amount of time. If we are being totally honest, the whole hustling and grinding things isn't particularly high on that list of chosen activities. So when the workweek is at our backs, or just starting (we hate you…

A lot of people look down on those who work at restaurants. It's true that it's not a job for everyone, but “serving” people doesn't make you “less than” anyone else. While it's stressful, restaurant work gives a lot of time to people who want to pursue their art, school, or even some daytime hobbies. Playing music all day and then working 4 hours at night is a dream for many people. The same goes for those in the fine arts or people who are grinding away at grad school. So while it's definitel…

Expanding the definition

The time has finally come: Libra season is here. As a lifelong Libra, I should know a great deal about this zodiac sign that I should be able to spring on to those not lucky enough to be born between September 22nd and October 23rd. Unfortunately, I come to you largely empty-handed. I am not a Libra expert. I do come with the most iconic image of Libra-ness: the scales. Regarding my astrological sign, I've always connected the most with the idea of being a balanced person. I try not to make my…

It's actually real.

Love to see workplace camaraderie.
