When we think about talented and award-winning actors, we probably assume they’re typically the types to take preparing for a key role seriously. Like, they read the script more than once, they do some research, work on character nuance, and all of that…at the very least, right? When it comes to these 6 actors in...

I think we all want to believe that a new year can be a new, fresh start in our lives, in one way or another. We begin new habits, we pick up old hobbies, and we have hope that the coming year will be better than the last, at least in a few ways. These...

Whenever Jimmy Fallon pops up with one of his infamous hashtag challenges, people get pumped to respond (and maybe make it on the air). I get pumped, too, because his prompts usually result in some pretty hilarious stories for the rest of us, too. It's Hashtags time! Tweet out the worst gift you or someone...

Gift-giving opportunities, whether birthdays or holidays or special occasions, can be filled with anxiety if you’re someone who doesn’t often receive (or give) the right types of gift. That said, most of us do actually try our best, even if it doesn’t always work out as we’d hoped. I refuse to believe that these 12...

Relationships are all about compromise and give and take, and being able to care about another person and their needs – emotional, physical, you name it – at least as much as you care about your own. When are agreements too old to be honored, though, and what should you expect in return for what...

I think the world has come a long way in the past several years when it comes to critically evaluating the health of romantic relationships. We still have a long way to go, and it remains so much easier to see issues from the outside than in, but giving people who treat their partners badly...

People think babysitting is an easy gig, and most of the time, they’re probably right. Sure, kids can be loud and messy and whiny but it’s only for a few hours and then you get to hand them back off to their parents and go on your way. It’s the parents who can be hard...

Anyone who has suffered a miscarriage in their life, no matter how far into a pregnancy or the reason, knows that it’s an incredibly difficult time. It’s a huge loss to the parents but often a loss no one else sees or hears about, which can make it complicated to deal with – which makes...

If you could wave your magic wand and get all of human society to stop doing something immediately, what would it be? I feel like most of us could come up with a short list (or a long one) if you gave us five or ten minutes. These 15 people have some pretty reasonable suggestions...

We all have our pet peeves in this life, but some of them don’t always seem like they should be subjective. There are things that, if everyone stopped doing them right now, the whole world would be better off – so why aren’t more of us lobbying for that? These 14 people make some pretty...

I think this is an interesting question because lately, most of our talk is about how far humans have come in such a relatively short time. How much we’ve evolved, how quickly our society has advanced, and just generally how much things have changed in just a couple of generations. There are some things that...

Since the beginning of human civilization, obviously a lot has changed. We’ve evolved, we’ve invented things that have changed the course of history, we’ve waged wars that threatened to destroy it. Cultures have shifted and immigration has brought us together (and driven us apart). There’s no arguing that human life today looks nothing like it did...

I suppose there are people out there who think relationships are easy – or at least, that they’re easy more often than they’re not – but I personally don’t know any. Most of us know that romantic relationships are hard, and for some reason that goes double once a marriage license is signed. Want some...

I mean, I don’t know if marriage looks easy to anyone who has given it at least one go, but there are always those sweet summer children out there who think it’s going to be a blissfully simple and fulfilling way to live out their days. There’s no real way to disillusion someone who wants...

I don’t know about you, but almost everyone I know could really use a laugh. The whole world is down and out and exhausted in general, and while the internet is often good for more of the same bs, it is also occasionally the best place to be if you need a smile. So, without...
