Inquiring minds would like to know, how has your 2023 been thus far? It's wild to think that we have arrived in February, but I think many of us hope these first three months of the year pass as quickly as possible. After all, it's hard to live your best life when it is 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside on a Friday night. Luckily for me, I am obsessed with this time of the year. I feel like it is much easier for me to change my bad habits during January and February than it is to do so in the summe…

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Spongebob? The first three seasons of this show defined my childhood, and I lowkey feel bad for all of the kids whose parents didn't allow them to watch it. Whenever a fellow third grader looked me in the eyes and told me they did not know the Ripped Pants song , it broke my heart. When I was a kid, I assumed some parents banned the show because the voices were grating. That was the reason my mom hated The Fairly Odd Parents. Now I realize that…

Being a relatively new programmer is like living in two completely different worlds. Non-programmers think you are the absolute dog's meow. They act like you cured cancer, achieved world peace, and are worth 20 billion dollars. That kind of validation for choosing a well-paying career path can feel good, but it wears off soon enough when you're around senior programmers . You feel like the most useless ant at the picnic basket when you're with guys who've been doing it for years. In that room,…

Congratulations, internet user. Somehow, through sheer motivation, or perhaps, more realistically, resignation, you have made it to the end of the week. How does it feel? If it doesn't feel like something that should be congratulated, then you're right with us. We didn't consent to being born, and we certainly didn't consent to an existence that makes us feel like we've accomplished some grand task. Life shouldn't feel like an endless cycle of suffering with tiny breaks in between, and if we ar…

Have you checked in on your freelancer friend lately?

Beautiful, yet relatable

What could they be?

Gotta chase episode 3 of 'The Last of Us' with some good 'ole funny Ron Swanson from 'Parks and Recreation' memes.

More or less

Got 'em

There is one Disney story from my childhood that still makes me laugh to this day. When I was a teenager, I used to go to a theatre competition every year. You would perform a selection from a “junior” show, shortened and edited versions of musicals intended for young performers. A couple of years into going, The Lion King Jr. was released so that children could finally participate in a shorter version of the hit Disney Broadway musical . The number of white children wearing kente cloth legging…

We are not on the same internet that we were on in 2012. In just ten short years, the world of memes has exploded to become so much bigger than we ever thought it could be. New memes and trends are created daily, and unless you're a certified meme professional, it's challenging to keep up. Who else remembers when only a couple of memes absolutely dominated the meme landscape ? Back when I was a tween, rage comics were everywhere. There was a rage comic for every emotional expression under the s…
