Former gifted kids, this one's for you

Wikipedia is one of the most useful websites on the internet. It might not be suitable for academic articles, but it's perfect when you want thorough and compelling information about a topic you are ignorant about. If you need help grasping new concepts quickly, there's no better place to go than Wikipedia. I'm a little nervous about Wikipedia's future . They keep begging for money, and I have not given them a cent. I'm just as worried about the shutdown of the world's largest internet encyclop…

If you are a young Gen Z person, your vocabulary is likely rotted due to your exposure to the internet from a young age. Trust me, I would know. The way I speak has so many colloquialisms imbued into it that you'd think I was a character written by a baby boomer for the purpose of making fun of young people. I say words like stun, werk, and fierce like a robot programmed to do so. Friends have told me that because of my speech, they've started accidentally calling people "gorg" in corporate env…

The discourse around the ethics of ghosting has been floating around the internet for years, and it seems like everybody feels strongly about it. I am convinced that some people believe that ghosting is a war crime. I am pro-ghosting in certain circumstances, and I'm no stranger to ghosting people after a first date, especially when nobody mentions wanting a second date during the initial date. My villain origin story for why I don't hate ghosting is one for the books. I went on a date when I w…

Happy Sunday, everybody! People talk about the Sunday Scaries all the time. If you're unfamiliar, the Sunday Scaries are the phenomenon of feeling dread and fear every Sunday in anticipation of the coming workweek. You don't even get to enjoy one of the two days you have off because you're so dang nervous about the week ahead. I used to get the Sunday Scaries all the time in high school. Picture it: it's Sunday at 6 PM, you haven't gotten any of your homework done, and frankly, you don't want t…

Can't stop, won't stop

Aren't these memes swell?

Snuggle in!

Peep, Barbie, Kirby, you name it!

Every day you consume things. Unless you are sitting in a dark room with no technology because you're recovering from a concussion or you're a deeply neglected child (and if you're either of those things, I'm terribly sorry), you consume stuff with your eyes and other less important senses every day. You see buses, Comedy Central sitcoms that got canceled after three seasons, and God . Just kidding about that last one, unless you're highly advanced, or you're that person suffering from that con…

We're all well aware that when certain people are given the gift of posting on social media, they use it for evil. But with the responses to a question posed by the infamous Twitter user @omocler, the Twitterverse unleashed a whirlwind of absurdity, pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable, appropriate, and, quite frankly, comprehensible. But that honestly makes sense, given the fact that @omocler asked users to share the craziest tweets they'd ever seen. As one might expect, many of these…

What items would you bring if you were stranded on a desert island? I have no clue. People ask this question to gauge what others want to do in their final moments on earth if they are stranded and alone . I feel like giving a survivalist answer to this question is such a cop-out. If you were actually on a desert island, you would probably want a knife, a lighter, and a communication device, but those answers are boring. I want fantasy! I want to know what music you will listen to when you take…

Totally broke the illusion

Getting up there!

Starbucks is now charging an extra dollar if you request a drink with light ice – and customers aren't happy about it.

She's a lie-con, she's a legend, and she is the moment
