If someone is going out of their way to do your job for you, it would probably pay to be kind and appreciative towards that person. Alas, the types of managers who are putting their subordinates in this position probably also lack the basic people skills necessary to make this realization. The thing is, there are all kinds of clever ways that you can “delegate” your own tasks to subordinate workers; as a manager, I've worked for certain organizations in the past that would dangle the carrot of…

Namaste.

There are good days and there are bad days. But the magic of being a human is that the simplest moments of joy can instantly transform the worst day into the best one. Just the other day I woke up emotionally feeling like a pile of garbage. It was one of those days where nothing went right—I locked myself out of my apartment and couldn't pay for a locksmith because earlier that morning, my bank called me letting me know that they'd noticed some fraudulent activity and had to freeze my account.…

Get ready

In my 30-odd years of life, none of my romantic breakups have affected me quite like when I felt the pain of a friendship breakup. While it was not my fault (trust me), losing Magda and Molly (names changed for privacy) was probably the hardest experience of my life. It's true that people grow apart, but the sudden break in what was once a beautiful and meaningful relationship is always jarring. There really isn't a good rulebook for how to deal with the situation, but that doesn't stop TikToke…

It doesn't look tasty

Press X to meme

I’ll say it; otakus and weebs deserve respect. I may not technically be a weeb, but I’ve always respected the rights of weebs to hang out in the Manga section at Barens and Noble. They should be able to wear schoolgirl outfits in public without getting laughed at and ridiculed out of the Barnes and Noble bathroom. I respect weebs who do not want to even show their face in a Barnes and Noble and prefer the likes of independently owned book retailers. Luckily, we seem to be entering a golden age…

Travel in style

I am ugly and I am proud

Sometimes things work out.

How many days until February?

Prepare yourself... you are in fact, the drama.

Also, can we talk about how Paul Rudd never ages??

When I was a kid, I had to take a bath or a shower every day, a tradition I've continued throughout my life. When you're a kid, you get dirty quickly and must be washed often. As I scroll through parenting TikTok , I get increasingly disgusted with the hot takes about hygiene. The number of moms I've seen online talking about only showering their kids once or twice a month baffles me. Anyone who thinks having their kid run around all stinky is healthy for them is a fool. Some parents don't bath…

Happy Tuesday, Internet users and abusers. It's already been quite a week here on the world wide web, and that often has something to do with real-life drama. Last week we celebrated (lol) the one-year anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, and weirdly enough, it seems that while Jair Bolsonaro is sadly dragging his feet around the KFCs and Publix supermarkets of Orlando, Florida, his supporters decided to emulate Trump's rabid fanbase and cause what was, perhaps, an even bigger ruckus at…
