There are things in life that you can get away with deals on, and things you will regret not going top of the line. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference without trial and error, unfortunately, which can be a waste of money (even if you went with the cheap thing first). If...

I think that most of us realize the adage “you get what you pay for” is one of the truer things people say, but listen – sometimes the cheap version of something is perfectly fine. If you don’t expect it to last that long anyway, or it’s something trendy that will fall out of fashion,...

If you think your driver isn’t listening in on your conversation, well…you’re either super naive or so rich, famous, or powerful that you just don’t care. In the case of these 17 chauffeurs and the things they’ve overheard from the back seat, it seems to be a little bit of everything. No matter the reason...

Every job has its perks, along with the things that aren’t the best, and most of us just want the good stuff to outweigh the bad. In the case of people whose job it is to drive rich people around town, I have to think that the things they overhear and/or meeting cool or famous...

Oftentimes when we look back on history, it can be tempting to see the good parts. The things that seem better than they are now, especially for those who were well off in one way or another. The times we live in are great, but when you’re living in it every single day, the bad...

I don’t know much about the world of over the road trucking, but apparently there are pretty strict rules for how to log your time, when and how often you have to stop, and the like. This guy doesn’t like having to pull off the highway every time he has to use the restroom, so...

Living with family, especially when they have mental health issues, can be extremely challenging. We want the best for the people we love, but sometimes it can be hard to know what that is – and when different family members have different takes on how best to help, things can get complicated fast. In this...

As a woman, I will be the first person to say how far we have come when it comes to empowering girls and women. We can be what we want, do what we want, say what we want, and wear what we want, and no one is allowed to say anything. Of course, people still do...

I love working in a creative field, but one thing that stinks about it is that too many people think media should be free because “everyone deserves music/a book/television etc.” It’s the mindset that allows people who would never steal a physical item from a store to sign up to illegally download movies or books,...

With the way science and scientific research is going, it seems like life in our beloved science fiction stories could end up being a reality one day – even if that one day remains so far off that we’ll probably never get to see it ourselves. One thing that has fascinated humans for years, whether...

There are many conversations happening in politics these days about how we can better take care of everyone in our society. What can we afford, how can we re-allocate funds, who deserves what, and what history says about supporting people with a safety net when times are hard. Michael Tubbs, though, the young mayor of...

The only reason that shows and movies like Star Trek and Star Wars aren’t incredibly boring to watch is that they can “warp” or “go into hyperdrive” and pop from one end of their universe (or ours) in the blink of an eye. If we had to watch while they actually made their way across space, well…they would never...

There are a lot of great things about living in the age of the internet, but listen. Not everyone likes the idea of random people being able to learn things about their family and lives with a simple Google search. It can make a person uncomfortable even if they don’t have something to hide, but that...

People love to ruminate and consider questions and answers that have to do with the possibilities linked to time travel. Where would you go, what would you want to see, what would you change if you could – but the facts of the matter are, we are so used to certain comforts and conveniences that...

Before we dive into this list, let me just say that one of the greatest things about human beings is that we’re all different, and we all have strengths and weaknesses and each of those things has a part to play in society. If you totally get math, but you can’t spell to save your...
