Have you all heard the drama regarding Elon Musk firing programmers at Twitter? It is honestly so stupid I couldn't even believe what I was reading. For legal reasons, this is all alleged, but ALLEGEDLY, Elon Musk has ranked the programmers at Twitter based on the number of lines of code they wrote in the past year and fired those at the bottom of that list. So basically, Musk fired all of the programmers who fixed the buggy code and kept all of the programmers who wrote said buggy code. Such m…

Sex Education is one of those topics that some people have a challenging time breaching with their kids. My parents were never the kind of people to try to tell me some hogwash about a stork and a baby; They were not in the business of baloney. I don't remember the exact moment when I realized what sex was because it was more of a gradual conversation throughout many years and, therefore, not so shocking to me. The one thing I do remember about our most memorable birds and the bees talk is that…

We should all be supportive of our partners' career choices…within reason. When u/Content_Profession63 's fiancé quit his job to become a professional Twitch streamer, she encouraged him to follow his passion and even agreed to financially support the both of them with her online business. Seven months later, OP's fiancé was doing plenty of gaming, but still hadn't even gotten around to creating a Twitch account. OP's tolerance for BS finally waned when her fiancé asked her for an expensive gam…

There is nothing more humiliating in school than being dress coded. I remember being dress-coded by a teacher I once thought was my friend: the middle school theatre teacher. I soon learned that he was nothing of the sort. He made me change from simple black leggings into sweatpants from the 90s, and I was horrified. I don't know what changed in him, but one day he snapped and started ranting about the importance of the dress code and how we need to “dress our age.”

I know this might be a cold take colder than the arctic, but I love how food looks in anime. Something about the lighting, the preparation, and the overall food vibes in anime put me at ease. I'd say that the unique aesthetic of anime shows and movies are some of the driving forces that draw people, particularly Americans, to them. After all, adult animation made in the United States can be so ugly. I mean, have you seen Big Mouth? Oftentimes, American showrunners and animators care a lot less…

It's good to teach kids about financial responsibility throughout their lives, but forcing them to buy everything themselves is not the way to do that. One redditor opened up about her spiteful husband, who seems to think it's totally fine to make her 16-year-old daughter feel guilt-ridden every time she wants something. Because the teenager has a part-time job, her stepdad will apparently say “you have money, buy it yourself” anytime she asks for something. When the girl's mom asked Reddit if…

Taking time off, no matter what your job entails, is absolutely crucial for mental health and general wellbeing. But some employers either don't agree with that, or simply don't care. Such is the case of Redditor u/Nannyneedabreak, whose username kind of says it all. By her account, the twenty-two year old woman has been nannying two amazing kids, aged six and eight. And she's never taken any time off. Seven months ago, she decided to request time off for her sister's wedding this coming weeken…

Tired of being tired, but awake enough to complain about being tired.

Imagine refusing to go to school because your mom didn't have time to make your special sandwich. This is unacceptable behavior for a kid, let alone a full-grown adult. One disgruntled stay-at-home-mom asked Reddit if she was the a-hole for calling her pilot husband “insane” for ditching work to teach his wife a lesson after she didn't have time to iron his uniform. Commenters answered with a resounding “not the asshole.”

If there's one thing I've learned from Reddit's AITA posts, it's that it doesn't take a lot to make a lot of brides angry. The biggest taboos regarding weddings are actions that allegedly distract or take away from the bride . The two biggest wedding faux pas are wearing the wrong color dress (especially white) and getting proposed to during the reception. Now, these things, I can kind of understand. Personally, I can't imagine caring so much about a party that someone other than me getting att…

Throw the whole man out

Reel it in

If you haven't noticed, there's an epidemic of horrible bosses scamming their employees out of benefits, wages, and precious time. It's almost as if the managerial class as a whole is incentivized to rip off the working class as much as possible. How else is your boss supposed to become filthy rich? That money has to come from somewhere. Redditor u/ClubWag recently shared their infuriating tale of working for a lying, gaslighting boss who broke promises and cheated employees out of official pol…

Will #GlitterTok be the one to finally discover the deep dark secret of glitter and where it's being used the most?

As someone who took at least five linguistics classes in college, you might call me a language expert. And as such, it's my duty to share a few undeniable truths about language learning that many people do not know. Did you know that if you're a native speaker of a language, congratulations, you are an expert in that language? It doesn't matter if you can't explain the exact reason for conjugations or word order. If you've spoken a language since birth, you will automatically know when somethin…

There's no shortage of stories about incompetent managers driving their skilled staff away with terrible ideas about how they should be doing their jobs, and this post recently shared on r/MaliciousCompliance is a perfect example. For those who want the TL;DR: basically, OP worked at a sales job where they had a fantastic manager who treated his staff like human beings and gave them the freedom to do their jobs in whatever way worked best for them. As long as everyone was hitting their targets,…
