Do You Agree That People Who Have Affairs With Married People Are Just As Much in the Wrong?

Relationships and cheating are sensitive subjects (hello, captain obvious), and rightfully so.

Is Generation Z Glorifying Those Who Have Mental Health Issues?

I think that many people look at younger generations and think that they’re getting a lot right – they care about the environment, they don’t care much about other people’s sexuality or cultural background, and they’re far more willing to talk about – and accept those – who struggle with mental health issues.

This woman’s post about the unsolicited...

This Professor Wonders if It’s Wrong to Tell a Student That They Just Don’t Care

I used to think that being a college professor would be one of the best jobs in the world. You get a flexible schedule, you get to read about, publish, and teach about something you’re super into (you would have to be to get a Masters or PhD), and your students are old enough to...

If Your Roommate Needs Some of Your Hair for a Spell, Should You Give It to Them?

Different strokes for different folks, you know? That’s what I say. At least, that’s what I say most of the time, but when it comes to evil spirits and pieces of my body, I don’t know…maybe that seems like it’s a bit more of my business. This woman is young and lives with roommates, one...

These 14 People’s Stories Prove That Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

Does Anyone Buy These 18 Fake Moments in the Movies?

I love movies, but I find myself rolling my eyes at least a few times when I’m watching anything that was made in Hollywood. A lot of the plot points are absurdly unrealistic. Despite being so hard to believe and physically impossible, a lot of these incorrect cliches appear over and over again in the...
