We see it in private DMs. We see it in comment sections. We see it on dating profiles. Softbois , “ nice guys ,” and straight up dirtbags who are pathetically down bad. It seems like some dudes are so depressingly horny, that they become possessed by some sort of cringe demon. How else do you explain the mortifying word garbage these softbois are capable of assaulting other human beings with? We've got a bunch of painful examples of what we're talking about from the best archivist of softboi cr…

Wikipedia ; the fountain of forbidden knowledge. Is it accurate? Is it all made up? Who cares! Wikipedia was founded in 2001 and has been an essential tool for researchers of the online persuasion ever since. If you grew up in the 2000s, you remember being told by your teachers not to use Wikipedia unless you want to get a big fat F on your paper. That threat put the fear of God into many young Wikipedia users. Although not peer-reviewed in the technical sense, Wikipedia is a very convenient so…

“No news is good news” has become a sentence that really resonates with me.

True crime has been among the most popular podcast genres over the past decade. Unlike shows like ‘Law & Order SUV,' which depicts police attempting to solve fictional crimes, true crime media is focused on crimes that actually happened. While true crime documentaries and books have been popular for decades, true crime podcasts are a more recent phenomenon that has blown up in popularity over the past five years. However, true crime has not been without criticism, with detractors calling it cav…

There are many unjust reasons why someone might get fired these days. You can get fired for drinking a tea before you pay for it. You could get fired because a Karen demands it . You can even get fired for simply doing what your company asks of you. However, being sick is one of the cruelest reasons for being terminated without pay.

Well, this would've never happened when it came out in the '80s…

Board games were always a special part of my life growing up. Whether I was witnessing full-grown adults flipping over Monopoly boards in fits of fury, or playing Risk (horribly) with all the older boys at the annual family camping trip, any board game session was bound to embed long-lasting memories in my mind, no matter how mundane the occasion seemed at the time. It's no wonder so many loyal fans of Dungeons & Dragons keep coming back for more year after year, even with all the hot new open…

There's a long history of pitting introverts against extroverts, and a long history of stereotypes about the two. Introverts are supposed to be shy, boring, and antisocial, while extroverts are obnoxiously the opposite: loud, attention-seeking and annoying socialites. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the actual definition of introvert is as follows: “introvert: a person whose personality is characterized by introversion : a typically reserved or quiet person who tends to be introspe…

There's not much we can rely on in this cold and cruel world. A close friend and I were chatting recently (after copious amounts of wine) and she revealed to me the staggering number of married men that boldly slide into her dms as though they're single and ready to freaking mingle. I shared how many people had lied to me in the past couple years, and the duplicitous nature of some misguided friendships with narcissistic people. It wasn't a happy conversation. Despite all these breaches of trus…

In the age of 'contact-free' delivery, courier services like DoorDash have come up with clever ways to provide proof of delivery. One would think that a simple photo of the fast food bag in front of the customer's door would suffice. But some Dashers have taken it a step further by snapping the photo at the moment of interception. The Dasher waits from a safe distance and goes into paparazzi mode once the hungry, pajama-clad customer cracks open the door like a goblin coming out of hibernation.

Pure bureaucracy
