Dude encourages everyone to stop working because their bosses don’t care about them: ‘Stop simping for your capitalist overlord who do not love you’
It’s very cool and popular to criticize capitalism, and I get it. It’s messed up beyond belief that so much of your life is spent working and stressing about whether you’ll be able to afford to be alive. The phrase «cost of living» can radicalize people because why does it cost so much money to …

How much is too much to spend on a friend? It’s an issue that many of us have struggled with at some point. Personally, I’m of the opinion that it’s not worth sweating the small stuff; I don’t see a problem with treating them to a coffee or similar every so often. I’d like to …

Bride and groom gift $800 to each wedding guest, pay for their first-class flights: ‘For a 100 guests that’s like half a million alone’
Many people dream of their fairytale wedding. Movies and TV shows put big ideas in our heads about over-the-top ceremonies in exotic, far-flung locales, huge couture gowns, and all the bells and whistles. Weddings capture our imaginations: they’re parties, yes, but they’re also public displays of love, family, and most importantly, of wealth. They’re opportunities …

The internet celebrates the 10 year anniversary remake of iconic ‘I’m in me mum’s car’ Vine: ‘One of the first that really captured the imagination of many’

Free schooling mom boasts about 6-year-old son spelling 3 letter words by himself: ‘People should not be allowed to homeschool their kids’
It should not be controversial to say that education is a human right every kid deserves. While it’s true that there are some lessons that we will only learn from the school of life, reading, writing, and arithmetic are foundational building blocks that most children are going to need support to understand. Unfortunately, though, not …
