As a brand new New Yorker, I often think about the circumstances under which I would be able to live «on my own.» Even if I suddenly came into a large amount of money, I probably wouldn’t be financially savvy to live alone unless I won the lottery. The best idea I’ve come up with …

‘You owe them zip’: Employee sends biting reply to boss who withheld PTO payout
When you leave a job, you do the best you can to tie things in a nice bow for your employers, if it was a nice working relationship. But the reality is, you don’t really owe them anything other than 2 week’s notice and a little courtesy. Everything else is extra. It’s certainly not a …

‘I think both are just trying to overpower the other one at this point’: Wife wants to name daughter ‘hippy name,’ is shut down by traditionalist husband
Names are incredibly important. They’re your first impression of someone- the first thing they’re going to associate with you. We all have associations with names, good and bad.

‘Giving any sort of unsolicited advice’: 20+ disrespectful things that people don’t realize are bad
Everybody has been impolite at some point in their lives. Contrary to what some would like to think, we do not all pop out of the womb pre-programmed to understand every single social rule and expectation that will get placed on us throughout our existence.

‘Tailored bespoke clothing’: Regular folks share the ‘rich person things’ they’d adopt if they made it big
We love to think about what we’d do if we won the lottery. Often it comes down to pretty simple things: clothes, houses, travel. Most of us would just get nicer versions of things we already have. Okay, maybe I’d buy a flamethrower and a hyperrealistic oil painting of my cat, but mostly I’d just …

‘Rinsing chicken’: The popular cooking advice you should actually ignore
Everybody is full of advice, especially when it comes to the kitchen. And I’ll admit, I’m guilty of backseat cooking sometimes. If I see somebody not cutting onions in the most efficient way, or sautéing something at the wrong temperature, I have a hard time keeping that information to myself. But at the end of …

‘How would you describe the color orange?’: Job seekers reveal the hardest interview questions they have ever been asked
One of the most difficult parts of many jobs is getting them in the first place. Half the time our resumes get lost under a pile of hundreds, and if we’re lucky enough to get an interview there are many different ways that we could potentially mess it up. The questions (and how we answer …

‘Hedge fund managers’: The most useless and overpaid jobs, according to Reddit
If we’re being honest, many of the jobs that exist in society today aren’t exactly essential to the functioning of the human race. They could disappear tomorrow and the world wouldn’t end.

‘Bats are not, in fact, blind’: 20+ Obvious things it took some folks a while to learn
As smart as humans usually are, we have to admit sometimes our rat brains get the best of us. We can go around studying particle physics, saving lives, and creating complex pieces of art, but sometimes it takes us 30 years to figure out that it’s «for all intents and purposes» and not «for all …
