Jaded filmmaker causes controversy trashing millennials who are a part of fandoms in their 30s and 40s: ‘My most boomer take is that millennials did ruin a lot of things’
There has long been a discussion about the Gen Z and millennial refusal to grow up. Is it entitlement, economic pressures, or simply a change in the social tide?

Mom faces backlash telling fellow parents that she would love to use the same name as their newborn for her hypothetical daughter: ‘I told her I would be stealing her baby name… I’m not even pregnant’
Names are strange in some ways. On the one hand, they are one of the most defining personal details about us, on the other, most people share their moniker with thousands or even millions of others around the world (unless their parents were particularly creative, or Mormon). I think that anybody who has gone through …

Stingy businessman catches heat after complaining ‘unskilled labor’ costs $32 an hour: ‘If it was so unskilled, you’d do it yourself’
More often than not, a job well done comes at a price. If it’s something that you’re doing yourself, this comes in the form of your time and concentration but if you choose to outsource, it is highly likely that you are going to have to part with some cold hard cash. While everybody loves …

Self-centered remote working journalist complains about coffee shops having loud music: ‘I can’t hear myself think, let alone do Zoom calls here’
I’ll be the first to admit it: as somebody whose job requires little more than a laptop, a phone, and the world-weary cynicism of somebody who has spent too much time on the internet, I have frequently worked in places that many would not consider workplaces. From trains to cafes, to particularly quiet bars, I …

Something that most moms and dads learn early on in their parenting journey is that there is no ‘right’ way to parent. Whatever method might work for you, there is likely to be somebody judgmental out there who is certain that you are ruining your kid’s life. At the same time, there are some decisions …

Bartender causes controversy by adding 20% tip to all unclosed tabs at end of shift: ‘I’m not sure that’s legal’
It goes without saying that in the US, tipping is an integral part of the hospitality industry. Servers, bartenders, and more can’t afford to live without it, and if you decide to stiff them there’s a high chance that you will be shamed for it. There is also a chance that you may not be …

‘I don’t think you guys realize how cooked we are’: Concerned relative causes controversy complaining about 14-year-old Gen Alpha cousin’s use of slang
Hand-wringing about the state of youth today is not a new phenomenon, but some like to treat it as one.

Coffee shop gets roasted for refusing to serve customers unless they smile at the door: ‘They will go bankrupt and that’s when I’ll smile’
I don’t know about you, but for me, few things can make a bad mood worse than being told to smile. No matter what is troubling you, it’s rarely something a forced change in facial expression is going to fix. Nonetheless, there is a certain brand of annoying person who still thinks this is helpful …
