There are more and more animated shows that are finding success with adult audiences – The Simpsons paved the way, of course, but since then shows like South Park, Archer, and more recently, Bojack Horseman, have also delighted grown ups! It’s always interesting to see the actors behind the voices, and sometimes, they even look a bit like the...

When your parents are rich, famous, and beautiful I bet the expectations on those little shoulders to grow up to be the same must feel overwhelming sometimes. Even if every kid should be free to go their own way, to pursue their own interests, the attention that celebrities and their kids get from the media...

Depending on the circumstances, a person’s last day at work can either be a time of uncertainty, or even anger, or it can be a cause to celebrate moving on to something better (even if you’re a bit sad about leaving behind the people you know). Either way, a person who is performing their final...

Money changes things between friends and family alike, which is why things like inheritances can be tricky moments to navigate within family life. This guy learned the hard way that his half-brothers cared more about a few thousand dollars than they did about their relationship or family ties, and that’s gotta sting. When OP’s grandparents...

You know those adorable kids that grace the Hollywood screens before puberty, just cute little things who make us smile (or cry, depending on the flick)? Or maybe it’s their parents you’ve seen and heard, kids who grew up in the elite Hollywood world… It turns out they grow up just like the rest of...

If you’ve spent any time in your life working in customer service, you’ve been made aware of the expression “the customer is always right.” If you spent any time working for a good company and/or manager while in customer service, you’ve also learned that’s definitely not true…though if you can let the customer think it...

I think most people try to do their best to support pregnant women in the world. They’re uncomfortable, they’re usually tired, because growing a human is hard work, and we feel a certain reverence, I think, because without pregnant women, none of us would exist. There are some jobs that pregnant women aren’t supposed to...

In true Tumblr fashion, this post that began about linguistics somehow devolved in the comments, ending up a discussion on (admittedly fascinating) Icelandic folklore. But since you clicked on this headline, you’re obviously not here for the linguistics, anyway – so, onto the evil whales, yeah? This is how the discussion began, and if you’re...

There are so many things that are hard about getting old, but losing our independence is surely one of the tougher and more awkward things to discuss with family. On the one hand, no one wants to go and live with strangers, only to be forgotten by the people they love. On the other hand,...

If society in general has an issue with not only body image expectations, but the way we love to foist them on others, then Hollywood has at least double the trouble. The women are made to feel like, unless they’re a certain size and body type, they’ll never be leading ladies. You know what? That...

Most of these revenge stories on Reddit are examples of what happens if you tangle with the wrong person. Some folks will just like, cut you out of their lives if you do something shi**y, but others? The look you straight in the eye and say “f**k around and find out.” This girl found out...

I read this headline and immediately thought, ‘have we learned nothing from the tale of Ferris Bueller and Cameron, people??” If you let your potentially irresponsible friends talk you into using your parents’ expensive things, bad stuff could happen – which is probably what OP was thinking when her friend wanted to take their dad’s...

Breakups, as Elaine Benes once pointed out, can be one of the most important parts of a relationship. Chances are, the majority of relationships you’re in over the course of your life are going to end for one reason or another, and so there should really be some kind of social contract that requires people...

I think we’re entering a brave new era of humanity here, one where it’s not only considered ok to speak up when people are being awful, but it kind of makes you awful if you don’t. If we’re going to change things for the better, after all, we all have to be willing to challenge those...

Racism is the topic at the forefront of the minds of many these days, and rightfully so. Everyone needs to have a plan for what they’re going to do if and when they find themself staring it in the face. This person had to enact that plan after a racist “Karen” called the cops on...
