Negative stereotypes stalk Dungeons & Dragons players like a Dracolich that just won't die. But diehard DnD fans don't let it bother them, because while all the normies are tweeting pictures of what they ate at brunch or whatever it is they do to entertain themselves, DnD players are building beautiful worlds, lifelong friendships, and meaningful memories through the magic of gaming. So the next time someone calls you a loser for simply enjoying something, don't let it get you down. In fact, yo…

Happy Friday, friends and enemies. If you have been feeling anything like I am, then life must be feeling a whole lot like groundhog day. As I've sworn off many of my vices since the pandemic's start, every day just seems…the same. Even our beloved Fridays. Welcoming chaos into my life, whether in the form of alcohol, drugs, or dating, seems to have had a purpose: staving off boredom. As I struggle with the sameness of existence, and another shitty day at my shitty job, I must take comfort in t…

Oh, the Kardashians.

Regret is a painful emotion. And as you get older, it always seems there's more to feel regretful about. There are loads of memes about being in the shower and thinking about the comebacks you could have used against that annoying coworker, or perhaps your mortal enemy. But that kind of regret is nothing. I, personally, have been having a hard time thinking about all the hours I've spent nursing drinks at the dive bars where my friends work. I'd offer to help them close in exchange for cheap dr…

A wise woman once told me, “Darling, if you have a baby, then you can't be the baby .”

What is a meme , really? Memes used to be a particular series of image macros that took over internet culture during the 2000s. These days, however, a meme is a much broader way of categorizing online content. Does a meme have to be made up of pictures and text? Must it be something that can be replicated in different forms, like how Bad Luck Brian was a consistent image with different white text every time? Does a meme belong to everyone or the person who created it? Is there any ethical way t…

Who would've thought

Some of these make a little too much sense

If loving my wife is a crime, officer, lock me up! That is the boomer dad version of the newest Twitter meme . It features the caption “me if [banal thing] was illegal” typically accompanied by a picture of Spongebob being handcuffed by the coppers, his face in agony. This meme format is fun because it's just so easy! I have a long list of everyday things that I could not stop doing, even if they were illegal! They include the following… Me if drinking at least four servings of Diet Coke per da…

Happy Tuesday, Lord of the Rings fans. How's everyone coping with the heat wave? I, personally, am struggling. And not just with the fact that climate change seems realer than ever. I'm struggling because New York City has been feeling way more like Mordor than some bustling city in the beautiful Northeast. While my office's air conditioning isn't too shabby, I've mainly been coping with the pain with the helpof distractions. And what better way to distract ourselves than with Lord of the Rings…

Ulterior motives aren't always bad. Sometimes they're pretty benevolent. Especially when we're talking about dating. While it may seem innocent (or even boring), texting something as simple as “Hey”

A career that requires a sense of humor

Refreshing

Some memes are just better than others. There's a conspiracy theory amongst older generations that because millennials were given participation trophies, they feel like they are way better than they actually are. Boomers fail to realize that kids could, and still can, tell the difference between an award everyone got and one they earned. For instance, when I was in high school, I won the award “Most Likely To Fall Off Of The Risers” in choir class. I wish I could tell you that earning this most…

Star Wars fans have a lot to be thankful for these days. There's the new series The Book of Boba Fett, which we'd been looking forward to since the explosive finale of The Mandalorian's second season. It's already getting great reception from both critics and fans. Then there's the shows we're patiently waiting for, like A Droid Story, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan. Even if the world doesn't get fixed by 2023, we'll be set for at least some of our indoor television watching. While we count our blessings a…
