As somebody who doesn’t do well with timelines, I have benefitted from the fact my parents were somewhat late developers for people of their generation. I’ve yet to reach the often-judged age where they were married, owned a house, or had kids (although they didn’t do it in that order). I don’t even know for …

‘Who has the time to give undivided attention for a phone call?’: Gen-Z and millennials debate leaving their phones on ‘Do Not Disturb’ 24/7
I’ll admit it. I’m one of those filthy Zoomers who hates to pick up the phone. I don’t know why, but something about phone calls just sends my cortisol through the roof and I’d rather avoid it. I’m not a psycho, I pick up for my parents and friends when I can, but I have …

‘Y’all see movies when reading?’: Book lovers discover aphantasia, realize not everyone reads the same

People Consider The Most Out-of-Touch Sentiments Rich People Have Expressed to Them

People Contemplate How They Would React to Their Friend’s Ugly Baby

For others, apparently, it’s quite easy to distinguish that difference. Now, I’ve only ever been in the position once where I was in the same room …
