If you know anything at all about how veterans and the families of those who gave their lives in service to America are treated when the fighting and serving are done, then you know they don’t get nearly enough. Not enough thanks, not enough healthcare, not enough financial support, you name it. And though it...

I’ll never forget walking through a little store in rural Mexico, rounding the end of the aisle, and stopping in my tracks at the sight of cartons of eggs just sitting out in the open. They were room temperature, and no one was freaking out! I pointed them out to my American friend but we...

Debit cards are super handy, and for those of us who have learned that hard way that credit cards line the road to hell, they’re a way to keep our finances in check and under control. There are times when a credit card – or cash – comes in handy, though. There are times, like...

Women have been saying for decades that it’s unfair and classist and sexist to force women to pay for menstrual products like pads, tampons, cups, etc. We don’t ask to menstruate, after all, and without said activity, all of society would cease to exist. In the way back, women were banished to a “red tent”...

Pretty much every article about how to feel better, feel healthier, and generally enjoy your life more contains the advice to get enough sleep. Not just enough, either, but good sleep. While there will be periods in our lives when this is all but impossible for one reason or another (like a new baby), it really...

Most of us know that commenting negatively on other people’s physical appearance is a folly to be avoided at all costs. Generally, it’s none of our business and we should be focusing on all the other, more important aspects of a human being, rather than their appearance. Things can get sticky when the other person...

Flossing is something people do regularly, I hear – but just as often, it’s something people fudge to their dentist about how much they actually take the time. This query was posted in Reddit’s No Stupid Question forum, and honestly, it’s information we’ve all probably wondered at some point in our lives. Just how many days...

What I think is important to remember when talking about anything that’s a sort of creative or mindless outlet is that people engage for all sorts of reasons. Sure, some people log hours on video games with the clear intention of being the best, accumulating all of the rewards, and being able to say they...

We all know a scary story or two, whether we’ve experienced them ourselves (eep!), they happened to a friend, or we read or watched them as they were spun by a professional of some sort. If they’re truly creepy, then we also love to share them – because who wants to be scared alone – and...

All of us have heard a story that really sticks with us in our life – the one that creeped you out so badly you’ll never forget it. So good that you just have to tell other people so you can scare them too. Now, these 15 people are taking the opportunity to share all of the...

Scary stories are perfect for any time of year, to be honest, so even if you’re thinking they don’t quite go with the holidays, well…I’m here to tell you that you’re wrong. If you love creeping yourself out, these people have got you covered, so grab some popcorn and enjoy! 17. Nope. Don’t like that....

Boobs are kind of one of those things that leaves people wanting what they don’t have. If you’re a woman with naturally small breasts, you might always envy those with naturally larger ones, and vice versa – though I think the majority of females in the world will agree that there is definitely a line...

Nearly every job where a person works with the public has horrifying moments happen, the ones where you realize you absolutely screwed up, and not only is the customer/client going to be mad, but they’re going to be totally justified in their anger, besides. That said, not every job is giving someone a haircut they’re...

People can do a pretty good job acting like they’re nice, normal, and good, but the truth is, there are plenty of people who are really good at faking it. If you’re watching closely, though, sometimes you can pick up on the little things – like these 14 specific acts – that can tell you...

We all have our litmus tests for figuring out whether the people in our lives are actually good people. Do they do charity work, are they good parents, loving children, the sort of neighbor who would feed your cats when you’re away? There aren’t reliable ways, though, right? Things that work for every person in...
