Where food issues and toxic parenting meet

In order

In Finland, perhaps everybody receives a mushroom hat when they graduate high school

People give Tumblr a lot of slack. It has maintained its reputation as being a cesspool for 13-year-old fangirls to scream about Misha Collins , even though the website has changed a lot in the past ten years. I stopped using Tumblr regularly in 2014, so my concept of it is a bit skewed toward that time period. However, Tumblr has some hilarious gems that are worth checking out if you've cast it aside. Tumblr has a lot of qualities I look for in a social media platform. It allows and even encou…

Part of being a parent is forcing your kids to do things they don't want to do. Sometimes, they have to eat yucky vegetables and finish the year of playing with their soccer team, even though they wanted to quit halfway through. However, there's a point where parents need to listen to what their kids are saying and act accordingly. One mother took to Reddit to ask whether she was the villain for forcing her teenage daughter to wear dresses when going over to their grandparent's house. There is…

In this episode of AITA, u/youkickmydog613 asks redditors whether he was in the wrong for ditching his wife's birthday dinner at Shogun. According to OP's account of what happened, his wife had asked for his input on where to go for dinner with the family for her birthday, to which he replied, “literally anywhere except shoguns is fine.” OP hates the food at Shogun, you see, and didn't want suffer through another meal there, not even for his wife's birthday. Well, the whole family decided on Sh…

I wholeheartedly believe that memes made me more empathetic as a tween. As a kid, I was obsessed with the internet and being on the pulse of the latest trends. Sure, the content on YouTube was entertaining, but I didn't really learn anything about myself by watching The Annoying Orange. Once I got onto social media proper, I began seeing memes that articulated the exact experiences that I'd had. Yes, I've rubbed my eyes for too long and seen colors! Yes, a teacher has responded to me asking, “c…

I'm not saying “I'm not like other girls,” but when I was a kid, my friendship with my cousin led to some pretty nerdy interests. Namely, Star Wars. I wasn't allowed to own Barbie dolls , so his collection of Star Wars action figures was the next best thing. We'd watch the movies over and over again, pretend we could play the cantina song with various shampoo bottles, and compete over who could do “better” at “vintage” Star Wars games like Dark Forces, Yoda Stories, or X-Wing - all of which my…

The odds may be slim, but they are never zero.

I'm going to come out and say it: Loving what you do (for work) is a luxury. But even if you're a statistics enthusiast or a strategy geek, chances are you don't want to spend all your time working. That's where having a work/life balance comes in. The concept, to many, is pretty novel. It's long been fashionable to spend long hours working in the office or from home, putting in the extra time because your bosses, for some reason, expect you to be available around the clock. There's a reason th…

It goes solid??

Happy Sunday, everybody! People talk about the Sunday Scaries all the time. If you're unfamiliar, the Sunday Scaries are the phenomenon of feeling dread and fear every Sunday in anticipation of the coming workweek. You don't even get to enjoy one of the two days you have off because you're so dang nervous about the week ahead. I used to get the Sunday Scaries all the time in high school. Picture it: it's Sunday at 6 PM, you haven't gotten any of your homework done, and frankly, you don't want t…

Oh sure, he's a 'liason'

Decades of trained specialists are waiting in the wings to show their niece and nephew how it's done on Super Smash Bros– no mercy
