Being an Airbnb hater is a big part of who I am and what I do. I distinctly recall being on a family vacation, waiting outside in freezing weather for over an hour for the owner of the apartment to give my family the key. The owner drove a moped and I could tell that he did not feel sorry, not one bit. The best Airbnb experience I had was at a place virtually identical to a hotel, and honestly, that doesn't even count. Despite my bitterness, Airbnb's used to be novel and fun as a concept for mo…

It's been years since I actually used Quora. My profile photo features my ex-boyfriend from back in 2013, and the account is tied to my most spam-filled email address. Despite this, I regularly get emails from them featuring questions about George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, as well as queries about living with narcissists. Spoiler alert: Dude from the profile pic happens to be one. While the emails don't really prompt me to peruse the question-and-answer website, sometimes ther…

Being nice is bad now

We should all know less about each other. This mantra has popped up on Twitter recently, often in response to people sharing graphic personal details online, particularly on TikTok. With the advent of social media, we have become conditioned to share so much of our lives with strangers. We're not just showing the shiny and cool parts of our lives with strangers: we're sharing everything! We post a picture every day because an app told us to “be real.” We share our traumas on TikTok because thos…

What is happening

Anyone who's been on TikTok in the past four years knows that it's a deep dark place. I joined the app in the fall of 2019 and could feel it affecting my brain chemistry at an astronomical rate. It felt like one of the few uncensored social media sites back then. What rattled me the most was how cruel and insane TikTok comments were. People, primarily kids, were saying horrible things to people on an unprecedented scale. Since then, TikTok has only grown bigger. The worst and best part about Ti…

God bless the internet

This entitled Karen insisted on ordering a salad. However, the salad she was ordering was, in fact, not a salad. Despite the waiter's attempts to explain this to her, she refused to listen and then proceeded to have a meltdown once her "salad" arrived.

It is said that an elephant never forgets. That much was kind of proven to be true after that Indian elephant trampled a woman not once - but twice - and destroyed her home. It's widely believed to be an act of elephant revenge, which occurs more than one might think. If you thought they were all Dumbo or Jungle Book, you thought wrong. This revelation is just one of many slightly disturbing (and maybe a little cool) animal facts that we've recently learned. Many of these freaky nuggets of info…

Amazing

If you've ever been in a “[CITY YOU LIVE IN] Moms Facebook Group” you know that they are some of the wildest places on the internet. They are crazier than Reddit. Some are even crazier than 4Chan. These platforms are cesspools for the most insane opinions regarding child rearing that you'll ever seen. At least 70% of these people don't want to bring their children within 50 feet of a doctors office for their entire lives. They tattle on and bully their neighbors for having the wrong color of di…
