We can all agree that of all the slimy jobs in the world, being a landlord is one of the slimiest. I would go as far as to say that it is a fake job. They act like they're doing you such an excellent service by allowing you to live in their building when they don't do anything to improve their properties yearly. When your hot water is broken, they don't fix it themselves. They hire someone else who has the skills to fix it, if they even do that! One of the landlords from @twoguystakeonrealestat…

Why are so many young people suddenly talking like weird therapists? There have been countless memes throughout the past couple of years about how strange and unnatural “therapy talk” is transforming the way we talk to our friends. It seemed to all start with the mass misusing of the term “emotional labor." Originally, this phrase referred to the labor customer service workers had to do to present a persistently happy

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…

Such a beautiful name for a girl

When you name your child Christopher, you must make a critical decision. You have to choose whether you are going to resign him to a life of normalcy with the nickname "Chris" or if you're going to make him a superstar with the nickname "Topher." The choice you make could change the entire trajectory of your child's life. If you've been scrolling through TikTok recently, you've probably seen more memes than you can count starring a little boy named Topher. He rose to TikTok fame after a clip of…

It's been going on for days

Nobody wants to be nervous all the time. Nothing is more fraught than feeling uneasy in every one of your social relationships. Anxiety might be a fairly common affliction, but that does not make it suck any less. If it gets bad enough, you might become a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown . I haven't seen that movie, but if I had to guess, I'd guess the titular woman suffers from anxiety. For me, the best ways to fight anxiety have been with meds and therapy, simple as that. In therapy,…

Listen, I know that TikTok might appear to be the work of pure evil for the uninitiated. After all, any social media platform primarily populated by teenagers is bound to include some insane hot takes that possibly should've never seen the light of day. I do think that young people, particularly minors on TikTok, need to learn that it's okay not to share graphic and insanely personal details about their lives online. In fact, I might even highly recommend they not do that. Your middle school co…

How far would you go to avoid aging? Most of us have at least some semblance of a skincare routine , while others break the bank on various exfoliators and lotions and goos. If you're really terrified at the prospect of getting lines on your face, you might invest in botox or even a facelift. No matter what lengths you'll go to to look young, you probably haven't gone as far as skincare influencer, Isabelle Lux . Along with an intensive beauty and skincare regiment, Isabelle Lux has quite liter…

If you've ever been around children , you know that every kid is somehow exceptionally filthy. They run around all day, eat with their hands, roll in the dirt, and stick their fingers in their mouth. Basically everything about children leads you to believe that they are the grossest demographic around. Young kids are at that tender age where they need the adults in their lives to instruct them on how to not be the most disgusting filthy pigs in the world. Unfortunately, some parents are too inc…

Lea Michele can't read. At least that's what everybody has been aledging about the former Glee star for the past couple of years. The conspiracy theory began when a YouTuber made an hours-long conspiracy video documenting his theory that Lea Michele never learned to read. The illiteracy rumors have recently increased in popularity since Lea Michele was cast in the Broadway musical Funny Girl. She began her run as Fanny Brice on September 4th but sadly tested positive for COVID soon afterward, f…

If you've been online at all over the last couple of days, you've probably seen that there's been some controversy surrounding the upcoming live action adaptation of Disney's The Little Mermaid. The casting of singer Halle Bailey has caused a lot of outrage from people who are vehemently against a the inclusion of a Black Ariel in the canon. In response to the racist backlash towards Bailey, many mothers have been recording their children's reaction to the trailer, finding that most of them are…

Its got the juice

The lines between reality and fiction are becoming more blurred as newfangled technology rears its head. I remember when deepfakes first came out, and seeing merely experimental videos utilizing that technology was frightening. Deepfakes essentially marked the beginning of an era of the internet where we knew that anyone, anything they said, and anything they did could be completely manufactured and fake. It was only a matter of time before deepfake or fully virtual celebrities emerged. The mos…

Who says that TikTok cannot be the arena for devastating psychosexual melodramas? Many haters have derided TikTok videos as vapid nonsense with no value whatsoever. The viral TikTok account Sylvanian Drama is all those things but is simultaneously one of the funniest series to hit the internet in a long time. Sylvanian Drama features various Sylvanian Families toys going through harrowing life experiences. They deal with eating disorders, alcoholism , bullying, sl*t shaming, fatphobia, murder,…

Guys of all ages can be kind of clueless about women's bodies. I know a guy who thought women could hold in their period blood as one holds in their pee. It's not necessarily men's fault when they know so little; Sex education programs have been cut for decades, and even when men start getting with women, a lot of basic information can simply slip under the cracks. However, one would think by the time a guy is married, he would be a bit more knowledgeable about the female anatomy. Unfortunately…
