She needed a break

Do you guys remember that one thing that happened a few years back that fundamentally changed societies across the entire globe? Yeah, the first year of Covid-19 was pretty crazy. We're lucky that the passage of time has made the Coronavirus much less of the dominant, oppositional presence in our lives, but don't forget it still exists. As an individual who survived as a restaurant server, the initial quarantine and closure of indoor dining hit me extremely hard financially. Add that on top of…

Mixed assumptions

People spill the tea on their former employers.

When you're young, you're constantly told never to sign anything you've never read in full. Contracts always have little loopholes in them, and signing a bad contract can have negative effects on your life in the long term. While that's true, how many times have y'all fully read a contract you signed? Sure, I read my rental contract and my job contract carefully, but that's about it. I never read contracts for iPhone terms and conditions or the doctor's office, and I know someday that's going t…

The older I get, the more attractive living alone becomes. And when I say living alone, I mean living alone. Preferably off the grid, in an adorable cabin that's (at the very least) an hour away from civilization. The Internet isn't a thing at this adorable cabin. For entertainment, we bird-watch, go fishing, forage, and maybe knit our own clothing. It may sound drastic, but working so closely with the Internet has shown me too many things.

But most of all, we love watching lying pieces of sh!t get called out for their bullshit. We love it when it happens to scummy lowlifes trying to trash local businesses (it's usually the owner of a competitor) as m…

Parenting is already stressful enough in 2023. Sure, we now have better gadgets and pediatric science to help us along our parenting journey. But millennial parents now have the stress of civil unrest and a deteriorating environment. How can you raise a happy child to be lively and enthusiastic for life when you're not even sure there will be a planet when they're older? It's parenting with a heaping pour of existential dread. Another thing millennial parents are admitting to additionally be ta…

There are some situations where nobody is in the right. Everybody just sucks, and the entire event context is just kind of miserable. It appears we have the perfect example of that scenario right here on Reddit. The story goes, a father ( /u/Flimsy_Wish_7885 ) throws a Fourth of July cookout for his entire family. Everything seems to go swimmingly, except for the fact that the man's 13-year-old daughter can't seem to find her Nintendo Switch after everyone departs. Doing what we all would when…
