Anyone who has ever been married – or in any long term romantic relationship where you share space – can tell you that there is no dearth of things that will, with time, drive you absolutely bonkers. Whether it’s the way they chew, how they stomp when they walk, how they leave their dental floss...

There’s not much that more frustrating than going to the movies, hoping to be entertained and/or amused, enlightened, etc, and walking out two-plus hours later without one single clue what you just watched. It feels like a waste of money and time, and not only that, it can force us to wonder whether we’re just...

When we go to the movies, we go for many reasons – to laugh, to cry, to think hard about something, to have our beliefs challenged – but first and foremost, we fork over that cash and our hard-earned free time so that we can be entertained. It’s hard to be entertained while you’re trying...

Like most of the choices we make when we’re young, our picks for our first tattoos can sometimes be a little hit or miss. We might love both the tattoo and the memory for years to come, or as we grow and mature (and get our next, better tattoo) we might have some regrets. That...

Ah, that first tattoo – if you’ve got one (or more), you definitely remember what you chose and why, and probably everything else about the experience, too. I would also guess that a good number of people don’t actually like their first tattoo, because, well…young and impulsive and growing up and all of that. These 16...

We spend a lot of time talking about and debating the best movies of all time. We make lists, we try to watch them, and we parse the very best of the best with our friends and fellow movie lovers. But what about the worst of the worst? Don’t they deserve equal discussions? I think...

It’s easy to think of the modern world as timeless. We don’t want to think about how fragile our existence is, or how many generations of things and people have come before us that are now nothing but dust and bones. Sometimes, though, we run across images of just that that can’t be denied, and...

We think our world is made of the strongest stuff, but the truth is that it’s nothing compared to what Mother Nature can do if you just give her some time. These 11 things were once shiny and new, too, but over time the weather and the elements have taken their toll – and now...

If there’s one thing that my true crime obsession has taught me, it’s that we can never truly know other people. Everyone has secrets, and some of them will only come out if people feel like sharing them. These 18 people have some secrets of their own, and they fear what could happen or what...

It can be really, really hard to see the issues in your relationship from the inside. It takes time, outside opinions, and the support of the people who love us to really make a move to get out when it’s required. Or, in some cases, the support and encouragement of the tough love people can...

Families can be complicated, and for some people who have struggled to feel comfortable and supported to live as their most authentic selves, this can be doubly true. This man has been happily living with his twin sister for most of his life. They’re very close, they help take care of each other, and helping...

It’s no secret that there are way too many workplaces and managers out there who expect working parents – and basically all employees – to act like they don’t have a life outside of work. The advent of Covid meant more and more people working from home, though, and some places of business have been...

We all need more money on that paycheck bottom line, right? We work hard, we’re doing what’s asked of us, but at the end of the day it can feel like the government gets more of our money than we do. And the rest of it goes to essential but not exactly fun stuff like...

I love stories of weird connections. I especially love when someone is talking trash about a person they think is a stranger only to find out in one way or another that they actually do have people in common. That’s exactly what happened to this radio host who was complaining about a new neighbor. https://www.tiktok.com/@sabinahbaby/video/7023962919230655750?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7023962919230655750...

Maybe you’ve never driven around looking for a parking space in a busy downtown and wondered why sometimes the lines are painted straight and other times they go at an angle. If you haven’t though, I bet you are now. Like most things in design, architecture, and city planning, there’s a logic that goes into...
