Just why

True love is nowhere to be found

We love the r/AmITheAsshole subreddit. It's a brilliant place where people can cast judgment on others based on their actions, and while we enjoy every possible outcome, there's something extra satisfying about seeing clueless, entitled jerks taken down a notch by the people of Reddit. You know the type. They share their story expecting to be cleared of any possible wrongdoing, only to find out their shitty behavior has made them a lot of new Internet enemies. We don't see these posts as much a…

As an aging millennial, it can be tough to keep up with current slang, despite spending roughly 70% of my waking hours on Twitter and TikTok. Even with my relative lack of literacy in this area, there are certain “hip” terms that make perfect sense to me and have unforgivingly entrenched themselves in my vocabulary. A prime example of this would be “The Ick." While describing something as “icky” isn't exactly a new concept, “The Ick” refers to something more specific: an instant kind of repulsi…

Modern romance sucks

I recently found myself surprised by some hot gossip from the celebrity-focused Deux Moi Instagram page. See, I don't seek this stuff out. You learn things when you're working on the Internet, things you'd never actually be interested in. The Deux Moi tips that Kardashian Frankenstein Kylie Jenner and actor Timothée Chalamet were dating definitely fall into that category, but I still raised my eyebrows. Alas, sometimes the Internet is right, and yesterday ET confirmed the relationship is, indee…

Here we go again, back at it with another steaming hot plate of memes for your consumption. It must be so nice to have delicious memes provided to you every night without effort on your part. Some people in this world slave away, looking for memes far and wide to feel their ever-growing families. When I was a boy, I used to walk 20 miles uphill and back in the snow to get to school. What does that have to do with memes you might ask? Absolutely nothing, but I just wanted to rub it in that your…

He's got a flair for the dramatic

It's rough out there, y'all. And by “out there” I mean the online dating landscape . It's funny that as meeting new people has become easier (with the help of apps like Tinder and Hinge ), it's also gotten harder. While in the old days of Okcupid I was able to message a normal guy, and then meet him for a fun date, nowadays it seems like there are just four trajectories: Option 1) Play pen pals for a couple of weeks and then get unmatched for some unknown reason. Option 2) Meet up for a casual…

He's got "high standards"

Married version of the ick

Modern dating has become a complex and often daunting experience for many people. As a recently single person, I can 100% agree. See, in today's society, people are expected to meet new individuals in a fast-paced, highly technological environment. With the rise of dating apps and social media, finding someone to date has become easier yet somehow more challenging. Instead of focusing on the fun parts of meeting new people and discovering new things, we're drowning in options, engaging in surfa…

Ah, “neckbeards.” What's in a name? While the term, at its most literal, refers to dudes whose facial hair seems to gravitate toward the neck and chin, the meaning has shifted over the years. Nowadays, “neckbeard” refers to unsavory dudes you might come across on the internet who are really into stuff like gaming, anime, and comic books. Those interests are all well and good (we love a good comic book or game sesh), but, unfortunately, a lot of neckbeards are also huge misogynists. They tend to…

Hell is other people

Love is a battlefield

Things just get worse
