I once had a roommate who adopted two dogs without really asking the rest of us, then proceeded to keep them in the garage most of the time, where they pooped absolutely everywhere. It wasn’t good. I’m very glad to be out of that. But the signs that you might be dealing with an awful roomie can be more subtle than that. Let’s...
The reasons that one can be late are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Scarce to be counted…filling the darkness… Of course, the REAL reason you’re always late is just because you don’t pay enough attention and you’re staring at your phone / sleeping in all the time. But the STATED reasons – the reasons you...
When you’re right, you’re right. And the tweets we’re looking at today? They’re right. Mind you, they’re not right in a way that’s likely to change your life or open your mind to new worlds and perspectives and possibilities. They’re more right in the way that’s going to make you groan and wish...
You ever hear someone say something and you just have to kind of stop for a minute and let it wash over you, because they’re totally correct, but it’s a maddening kind of correct? The kind of correct that makes you want to hit them? Well, if you’re too prone to anger with that sort of thing, you might want to click away now. If,...
In his highly influential 1889 essay The Decay of Lying, famously witty writer Oscar Wilde said that “Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life.” But for some of us, distinguishing the difference is like being asked whether a zebra is black with white stripes or white with black stripes. In either case, there’s no denying...
Roommates. Ya can’t live with ’em, and thanks to housing cost significantly outpacing wages, ya can’t live without ’em. That’s what my grandma always said. If you’re lucky, you end up with a roommate you actually like, or maybe just kinda never see. But if you’re unlucky, then you end up like these poor...
When Sacha Baron Cohen made his show called “Who Is America?” I had two thoughts: 1) That looks amazing 2) I will never be able to watch it It is an unflinching and absolutely surreal look at Americans – prominent and ordinary – and our bizarre outlooks on life, politics, religion, and the future. And wouldn’t you...
I don’t wanna start a whole thing here, but I’ve never been one of those who’s particularly “proud” to be an American. It’s WEIRD to be an American. We are weird. We’ve done some way cool stuff, but also have this tendency to continually trip over our own feet while loudly yelling about how good we are at...
If you’re literally always running late then you’re probably not only running out of time, but running out of excuses to give people for WHY you ran out of time. It’s exhausting trying to come up with new ones constantly, and some might say not worth it. Some might insist, in fact, that that effort would be better spent just...
Do you need something to really get you going? To wake you up? Either literally or figuratively? Well, look no further because we’ve got the cure for what ails ya: memes. Memes are a panacea of sorts, and they’re sure to stimulate the mind. Doctors even agree, perhaps. We’re not sure, we haven’t talked to any. Anyway, here...
