‘I don’t wanna spend my money’: Stingy traveler claims that people in their 20s shouldn’t have real vacations

One way in which I am very lucky is that I have had a relatively well-traveled youth. This has never been a luxury cruise, five-star hotel kind of experience, but it has been enriching nonetheless. Seeing the world is one of those things a lot of older people get misty-eyed about when they’re trying to …

‘I’d literally never leave’: Woman boasts about not talking to anyone for 72 hours, internet extols virtues of living alone

It’s no secret that modern society has a loneliness problem. Commentators will blame everything from the disintegration of the ‘traditional’ family unit to the loss of third spaces for the fact that many people seem to be less engaged with the wider world than ever.  While it isn’t a pleasant thing to think about, not …

Shady Landlord Meekly Refuses To Fix Tenant’s Heat Until Next Year

Heat and AC are two very different entities depending on the city and situation you live in. I’m from an area of Texas where basically no buildings from before 1970 exist, and consequentially, it’s Air Conditioning Town USA. Every school, store, and home I ever went into during the summer months was being pumped with …

30+ Hilarious Fishing Memes for Enthusiastic Anglers

I am, by every definition of the word, a city boy. I stayed in the city growing up. I can only recall a handful of times that I experienced non-commercial places of nature.

25+ Horse and Mare Memes for the Ecstatically Eloquent Equestrian Crowd

Now, I didn’t grow up around horses. I come from a pretty metropolitan background, but weekend trips to a ranch really developed an appreciation for horses within me. Starting the day by feeding pancakes to unruly horses and then suiting up to ride them soon after was a definitive experience. They’re not the most agreeable …

Urbanist Memes For Train Boys

By all metrics, I should be an urbanist. I grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, one of the worst places to drive in the country. Those two cities are connected by miles and miles of seven-lane highways, making driving in that area a living nightmare. I miraculously didn’t get into a car crash when …

More and more, the internet is warming up to an argument in favor of more walkable, less car-centric towns and cities that have better public transport. If you think about it, it is kind of insane that such a high proportion of the U.S. is not able to visit the grocery store, or go to …

Dude Explains Why the U.S. Needs More Walkable Cities

By this point, we all know that we live in a society. But do we live in a community? Many of us live lives that revolve around our house, our workplace, and maybe a bar or restaurant at the weekend, but little else. Modern life can be quite isolating, if we really think about it.  …

Free Spirits Get Roasted for Dancing in the Rain in New York

As a former bored small town girl, I get the excitement that comes from moving to the big smoke. Finally, everybody else walks as fast as you do, and you can go to the grocery store without bumping into your high school English teacher, your ex, and your dentist all within the space of ten …

Innovative South Korean Street Lights Divide Opinion Over Their Purpose

It’s probably fair to say that most of us have an unhealthy attachment to our devices. Screen addiction is a very real phenomenon, and many of us get antsy when we don’t have our phone within arm’s reach.  However, most of us are capable of prising our eyes from our electronics for short periods of …
