Oh boy

A good insult is hard to come by. As schoolchildren, we start with the basics. There's the powerful “No, you!” which is followed by the even more powerful and incredibly smug “I know you are but what am I?” We remember the early days of “Your mom” jokes (which are extra devastating if the mother in question is dead) and “stupid jokes" like the one that insinuates it takes an hour for the victim to cook minute rice. These are all well and good if you've yet to go through puberty, but as we get o…

Engagement bait goes crazy

She's so crazzzzzzzy!

Any self-respecting meme enthusiast is well aware of their incredible versatility. It really feels like there is a meme out there for every kind of person from every walk of life. Facebook moms go absolutely bonkers for corny and cringey minion memes. Those basic white girls who live for pumpkin spice season? They go absolutely wild for a meme about wine or the crinkle of fall leaves under their Ugg boots. Angry “Kyles” liken themselves to the frustrated incels in Wojak comics . There's somethi…

What is happening

'Exposure' doesn't pay the bills.

I know I can't be the only person who has been seeing people virtue-signaling their healthy routines online. The number of times I've watched videos or seen photos of people meal-prepping or organizing their vegetables has become ridiculous. As much as I'd like to be someone who can set and forget their meals for the week, as someone who actually gives a sh*t about what I eat, the idea of meal prep has always grossed me out. Those stacked Tupperwares of pallid chicken and bland-looking brown ri…

Are you familiar with the concept of seasoning cast iron cookware? The intention behind the process, which is essentially baking oil into the cookware, is to make it a nonstick surface and to help protect it from rusting. People are pretty intense about their cast iron, which probably explains all the memes against washing the cookware in a dishwasher or (gasp!) using soap. Contrary to what some may believe or tout on the Internet, it's OK to use a little soap on cast iron, as long as you reple…

Few things are certain in this short life. Death is inevitable, and so are taxes. The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. It's also inevitable that at any given moment, former teen heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio is dating a woman that could easily be his daughter. While age gap discourse has become more than a little boring, it seems that Leonardo DiCaprio's dating preferences have not. Just six months ago the Oscar-winning actor was roasted, toasted, and scrutinized for breaking up with…

A "2nd chance"!?

Audacious

It's easy to complain about the state of design these days. It seems like the graphic designers of the world got together to make everything as bland or amorphous as possible. Logos have been stripped down to look as basic as they come, and most graphics, especially of people, resemble abstract art or single-celled organisms more than they do humans. It kind of makes the design world, and media in general, feel a lot more boring. That said, there are definitely some exceptions, and they're not…

Listen, everyone has a dream. Lucky people have passions. But not everyone is lucky enough to do what they love, or even pursue it professionally. So we're stuck doing jobs like writing for a content mill or working as the manager of a f ast food restaurant. The latter happens to be the case for an especially insane redditor, who took to the site (in a now-deleted post) to ask for help from avgeeks and pilots with a very p eculiar relationship problem. The redditor explains that while he works…
