Most of us log into our online banking at least once a day, just to check on things, to pay bills, to make sure a deposit arrived, what have you. Now imagine it’s first thing in the morning, you’ve got your cup of coffee but your eyes are still a little bleary, and you see...

I can’t believe that we’re still having version of this conversation – the one where parents somehow think it’s the job of their kid’s favorite celebrity to somehow keep other people’s children in mind while making career and life decisions for themselves. That goes double when the artist in question, like Lil Nas X, never...

I know that cats run the internet and I’m not saying that dogs are going to dethrone them anytime soon, but there are dogs who are giving cats a run for their money. Whether they’re being adorable, heroic, totally sweet and supportive, or all three at the same time, dogs do have their moments online. This...

Good neighbors can be hard to find, and that’s why I think most of us are content with both being and having average, mediocre neighbors that aren’t completely insane. I mean, you take a chance when you let someone beyond that shared property line, you know? Here are 11 neighbors that are why the rest...

It seems a universal truth that whoever claims they don’t want a pet becomes the pet’s favorite person in the home, and vice versa. My partner definitely did not want the puppy we got, who I now find spooning him in his sleep on a regular basis. There’s no way to fight a puppy, y’all....

Relationships are tough, and while you’re navigating new ones, looking for solid footing in every new scenario, they can seem as if they could take a turn at any moment. This couple had been together for 8 months when they’d begun to introduce each other to the important people in their lives – his best...

There’s no law of the land that requires employees to give two week’s notice before leaving a job, but social convention means that most people do, if possible. It gives employers a head’s up that they’ll need to fill a position, and by being “polite” about leaving, the employee feels as if they left on...

A lot has changed in the past couple of years, and the way most of us get food delivery is definitely different. Although delivery services from a variety of restaurants – and even grocery stores – has been an option in big, coastal cities like New York for years, the concept has just made its...

I feel like, for many families, a dinner table is where we naturally gather. When there are special occasions, there’s usually food involved and holiday menus are discussed for weeks in advance. When you’re blending families, though, there’s always the potential for an impasse when it comes to the foods you do – or don’t...

If you know anything about good comedy, you know one of the easiest (!) ways to make a joke work is to make it as true as possible. Easier said than done, of course, but there you go. The same rule holds true for jokes people make online, because in everything that makes you laugh,...

Kids have a way of looking at the world that, in its innocence and freshness, can cause us to see things in totally new and different ways. That’s a good thing, if you ask me, and it can also cause them to come up with hilariously true names for things we thought were already named well....

There’s no doubt that being unemployed is stressful – but getting out there and finding a new job comes with its own stresses, too. We’d all like to be able to stay at the jobs we have, and have those jobs be with employers who treat us right and value us, but we also all...

I think most of us realize that people really, really need their jobs to survive – and also, we never know what people are going through on any given day, and so we try not to judge our interactions with strangers. That said, sometimes there are moments when we’re treated so callously, or when a...

Marriage, y’all. I swear, I’ve always known that it’s a flawed institution and harder than it looks, but until I started reading AITA the posts, I didn’t realize how many complete jerks were out there fooling people into matrimony. Strictly speaking, if you’re involved with someone who acts like a child, it’s best not to...

We obviously live in a world where we have the ability to share everything about our lives with total strangers on the internet – and some people, especially celebrities, often do. That said, there should be a line, don’t you think? Things that should just be kept to oneself? It seems like Meghan Trainor might...
