A disgruntled worker shared this experience to Reddit's r/ antiwork subreddit, claiming that their employer had refused to honor their accrued PTO once they handed in their notice. They had thought that they were doing the correct and honorable thing by giving their notice to their employer but felt that this had just come back to bite them. The relationship between an organization and its workers is built upon trust. Once that trust is betrayed by a worker/workers it's completely fair that the…

It doesn't

Whenever my brain isn't operating at its most optimal level, I find it helps to take frequent breaks. The brain needs chill and restorative time to start working to its best ability, even if the best is a pitiful, nearly vegetative hum. You can't be overdoing it by reading a book or trying to learn Spanish with the help of a dumb app. No, it's during these desperate and mind-numbing moments that we turn to memes. Let's face it: Most memes don't require a lot of intellectual ability. And they're…

They never get old

When I was little my mom often said she didn't fart. For some stupid reason, I believed her, but then again, I also believed her when she said she was an alien and didn't have a belly button. Kids are dumb. The truth is everyone farts. Besides pooping, peeing, eating, and experiencing heartbreak, there's not much human activity that is more universal. Farting is an important part of life. Flatulence has the power to make people laugh at inopportune moments. Just this morning I got into an argum…

Intending not to have kids has become much more socially acceptable for millennials . It used to be that if you were a person who didn't have kids, you were an old spinster, a nun, or a deeply ashamed closeted person. These days, a much larger chunk of young people are vehemently against bringing another life into this world. This can be for various reasons, from not wanting to financially support another human being to not wanting to push another person through their body. While these reasons…

When one Bob closes, another Bob opens. Last week, The Walt Disney Company revealed that Bob Iger is returning to Disney as their CEO, with Bob Chapek exiting the position after only two years. Bob Iger previously served as CEO from 2005-2020, with Chapek only serving for two years as CEO. Disney fans seem to be quite optimistic about Iger's return, especially regarding the Disney theme parks. The implementation of Disney Genie and costly fast passes have not fared well with fans, many of whom…

I'm going to be honest with y'all: I have no idea how to play poker . I have seen it in movies, so I know that getting four aces is optimal and hiding your cards from your fellow players is highly recommended, but other than that, I've got nothing. When I was a kid, my card game of choice was war. War is, on nearly every level, the complete opposite of poker. It has no strategy whatsoever, and that's what I like about it. The outcome of the game is pre-destined. By the time the cards are dealt,…

Take a moment

Vacation time is precious. Every day that most of us salaried workers toil equals a percentage of a day of freedom. That freedom can be enjoyed in many different ways: a little staycation with your partner, ordering fancy takeout and sleeping in. Or perhaps a beach getaway, sleeping and drinking on the sand, letting the salt water rejuvenate ones body. Whatever the flavor of vacation, there is one important and universal truth for that time: You do not have to work. Most of the time we are acti…

Life would be so much easier if I could mark people as spam.

To eat meat or to not eat meat; that is the question. As Thanksgiving comes and goes this weekend, it's natural that dietary needs and restrictions come up as topics for debate. Some animal fans think being a vegetarian or a vegan is a requirement for being an animal lover . Others believe that since animals kill and eat each other, and because human beings are animals themselves, eating meat is a non-issue. I think we can all agree that the way the meat industry treats and kills animals is not…

This is not your average meme list. One might say this meme list is a bit random . The posts included in the list are not related to each other in any way. They are simply brought together and placed in an order with no rhyme or reason to it. Isn't that a bit silly? Quite whimsical, if you ask me. Listicles of random memes are, as Lady Gaga so eloquently put it, "talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopper, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done bef…
