Sometimes a joy, sometimes a pain, usually just a necessity we gotta find our ways to deal with. But boy does it come with some weird side effects. For example:...
Costco is an absolute life saver for so many of us. But every time I think about the people working there, my mind immediately jumps to the scene in Idiocracy where an exhausted, dead-eyed greeter repeats his monotone mantra to each customer that enters; “Welcome to Costco. I love you.” Obviously the real employees aren’t dumb...
Where would we be as couples without something to laugh at? It’s massively important, even if the thing we’re laughing at is…occasionally…each other.

And in an era when social media standardization and website-builder templates rule the majority of the web, Tumblr still has that...
You ever click “buy” on something and immediately feel guilty for it? Then you tell yourself, “Well, it’s not too late. The order hasn’t been processed yet. Surely I can just tell them to cancel it…undo my egregiously irresponsible mistake…” But then you just stare at the screen, and you realize;...
Tumblr is a wonderfully strange place filled with the kind of people who generally get insanely passionate about a few specific things. It’s like a fan club, but for everything that exists.

About 4 times a day, I get the overwhelming urge to annoy the life out of my cat. Occasionally she seems appreciative of my over-zealous love, but mostly regards me as a nuisance.
