My life has been filled with countless moments of regret. And that regret isn't just regarding dating, alcohol consumption, or career choice. I happen to be a pretty gullible person and the things I've been convinced of - easily - is embarrassing. Fortunately, most of this stupidity is relegated to the IRL world. The Internet, much like elephants, never forgets. And there are entire subreddits dedicated to daft moments from politicians, public figures like Elon Musk, and regular joes like you a…

It goes solid??

How do you define family? Our go-to definition would be Dominic Toretto's favorite word. But obviously, it's actually a bit deeper than that. While some people (especially my boomer parents) think family is your blood - the group you're born into and descend from. But the reality is a bit different. I consider my neighbors to be family. We spend quality time together at least one night a week, play games and share meals. While family can be people you choose, that's often just a bonus in additi…

It seems like everyone and their mom is in therapy these day s, and when you think about how terrible everything has felt for the past few years, it's definitely for the best. Therapy, while arguably a luxury, is an incredibly important tool for people who may be having a difficult time coping with mental illness or the pressures of simply being alive. Unfortunately, not all therapists are created equal. While seeking help for my own issues (beyond bullies who are telling me to quit my job here…

This can't be legal

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…

I've gone most of my life without really knowing anyone who is involved with multi-level marketing, aka pyramid schemes. Honestly, I kind of pity some of the people who get involved with them. But save for a couple of suburban moms I know tangentially, I've been kindly spared from solicitous direct messages from boss babes about how their products - or joining their team - will change my life. Until this year. It would seem my cousin has fallen prey to the seductive lifestyle that so many MLM g…

Wait, are credit card companies kind of shady!? A former credit card rep tells all.

Zero to one hundred

“I'm a comedian.” Three words, beginning with a contraction, that make me back away in revulsion. Back when I had Tinder, I listed two kinds of people who I simply would not converse with: The above self-proclaimed funnymen, and burners. Burners, as in Burning Man attendees. These types of people and their personalities (for the most part) couldn't turn me on less. My other major sexual dealbreaker is skipping foreplay, which is harder to assess when swiping on a dating profile . Most people ca…

Confession time: Back when I was in college, I was proud that all my friends were dudes. It sort of felt like I'd won their acceptance, and they liked me more than the other women who lived in our co-ed dorm. The reality is that we just became friends because I had developed a nasty habit of chain smoking outside where many of the international residents smoked all day, and had social anxiety that stopped me from making meaningful friendships with women. Thankfully, this embarrassing phase didn…

Whoa there

We see a lot of work horror stories on Reddit - and experience them in real life. I've had several bosses say disgusting things to me (one was, surprisingly, a lawyer) and have suffered from being underpaid and underappreciated for the bulk of my life. And while those plights are pretty awful, they've never straight up committed a crime against me. You'd think a business owner would want to avoid a situation like that, but according to Redditor u/Tronlon, there are, in fact, bosses out there wh…

Don't stop til you get enough

We often highlight some of the funniest jokes that Twitter has to offer for those who normally wouldn't go near the bird website with a ten-foot pole. But it would be a lie to portray Twitter as anything other than a cesspool of horrific takes and the sort of cringe that can only come from brains rotted by the internet. For those of us sickos who can't get enough of social media's cringiest moments, @benner's thread is a goldmine of the worst tweets ever twote. Before you dive into this content…

Most Americans are aware of the current labor shortage plaguing the nation. While some economists and business owners are claiming that it's largely due to people not wanting to work, we think it has more to do with people not wanting to work for crap wages under crap conditions. Based on the sentiments of r/antiwork and people on Twitter, a lot of people agree. As business owners struggle to hire people for low pay and zero benefits, some of them are taking to the internet to complain, or ask…
