The expression “there’s no accounting for taste” exists for a reason, namely that everyone is different and what tastes good to one person might seem absolutely gross to someone else. That said, if we never even listen to other people or try what they swear is delicious, how will know for sure whether or not they’re...

Teachers are supposed to be the frontline of defense when it comes to protecting our kids when they’re away from us. They’re supposed to be critical thinkers and a safe space for all children, regardless of where they’re from, how much money they have, how well they behave or do on tests, or what color...

If you’re a natural people watcher, you know that there is no limit to the amount of entertainment one can get from simply observing their fellow human beings. It’s delightful, honestly. This Instagram account takes full advantage of that fact, sharing all of the unique and funny ways people stand when they don’t think they’re...

Required, paid maternity leave is non-existent in the United States. Some workers qualify for Family Medical Leave (FMLA), which allows them to take up to 12 weeks off for a qualifying medical event, but unless you have the sick or vacation leave to cover it, those weeks off will be without a paycheck. I was...

With how much the world has changed, it can be hard to believe that everything old could really be new again, but hear me out. The best art is classic and timeless, so why shouldn’t these classic art pieces find a new and relevant life in the 21st century? That’s exactly what’s happening with these...

Most people are aware of, and even abide by, an unspoken rule that you don’t lend money to friends or family if you can’t afford to lose it altogether with no hard feelings. The point being that money can come between people who care about each other, so those situations are to be avoided to...

The title sounds bad, but I think once you read through this post you might think differently – and vegetarian or not, you just may find yourself on the father’s side. This man isn’t an avid hunter, but he does hunt deer on his property once a year. He believes it helps control the population...

There are some rules for polite society that make sense, or that at least make sense when you view them in the light of the world where they came into existence. But no hats inside? Weird, right? I have no idea where or how it started (but I’m off to Google in a minute), but...

I’m not sure what the artists of old would have thought about social media – if they’re anything like the current artists I know, they would definitely have a love/hate relationship with it. They might love the idea that their art is living for millions of people because of the internet, though – because these...

Family relationships should be the most secure and loving ones afforded to us in this life, but the truth is, they’re often as complicated as any other – more so, given the ties that bind and all of that. When this girl was 13, her mother left her abusive father and they went to stay...

Co-working relationships can be rife with drama, and often made awkward by the fact that, even though we depend on these people on a daily basis, we’re not actually friends. The question of what we owe them, then, can be a complicated one. That’s a lesson this woman found out the hard way when a...

A good portion of the population struggles with mental health issues, and almost everyone will experience a rough period or a situational depression more than once in their lives. When we’re feeling down, we need people to reach out to us, and when others are feeling at the end of their rope, we want to...

If you think about it, the fact that we have to not only explain our absences from work but sometimes, they don’t believe us and so we have to get a real adult to sign a note for us to skip. Why do employers require a doctors note? byu/TwisTED_Ech0 inNoStupidQuestions I mean. What’s that all...

Parenting is one of those areas of life where most of us try to keep our opinions to ourselves (and everyone should do more of that, to be honest). Unless actual abuse is taking place, we tend to feel like what goes on in someone’s family home is their business and no one else’s. This...

You’ve probably noticed that more and more people living in suburban and urban areas are buying and keeping chickens. They do it for the eggs, ostensibly, but also, they seem to regard their birds as family pets. And while I’ve seen my fair share of videos with seemingly docile chickens who love being cuddled, my...
