I’m convinced that nobody except therapists likes «therapy speak.» If you don’t know what therapy speak is, maybe this will refresh your memory. «Hey! I’m so glad you reached out. I’m actually at capacity / helping someone else who’s in crisis / dealing with some personal stuff right now, and I don’t think I can …

One man’s quest for a kid-free grocery store sparks discourse about children in public spaces: ‘You are not entitled to a world without kids’
Even if you’re the biggest kid person in the world, you have to admit that kids can be pretty annoying sometimes. They lack self-awareness, are good at bumping into things, and are generally unpredictable. That’s why we have rules about kids in certain spaces. But one Twitter user recently sparked some vitriol when he suggested …

Dude records Chipotle employee to get larger portions, gets criticized for being embodiment of the surveillance state: ‘They don’t get paid enough for this’
If you’ve been around the fast food block, you’ve probably heard the complaint that Chipotle doesn’t put enough meat in their bowls. I’ve never particularly had a problem with this: every time I’ve eaten Chipotle, it’s been so filling I didn’t need to eat again for at least another 8 hours. However, that doesn’t stop …

‘4 hours at the end of the day is miserable’: Unpopular opinions about working 9-5
The 9-5 pace is one of the cruel realities for the contemporary worker. Though in some ways it has become less relevant than ever (with the advent of remote work and other technological advances offering more flexibility), it remains the core around which most folks revolve. And it seems arbitrary in some ways. It’s just …

Fratty groom sprays bride with champagne at their wedding, gets scolded by humorless killjoys: ‘I don’t care if he just married her, he doesn’t like her’
We’ve all seen viral videos of weddings being ruined by thoughtless grooms. Who could forget the video of a man holding a sign behind him that read «Help Me» during his own wedding ceremony? Countless viral moments basically amount to «groom shoves cake in his bride’s face and goes way too far.» I don’t think …

‘People my age act like youre a wizard if you have hobbies beyond Hulu’: Hobbyists share what hobbies people over 25 can do besides drinking and going to the gym
As you grow older, the hobbies that used to shape your life tend to fall away. This could be for money reasons (those oil paints aren’t going to pay for themselves), getting embarrassed (it’s not cute to be a 40-year-old open mic comedian in a Rust Belt city), or truly aging out of things (once …

Wife refuses to let husband see dying ex-wife despite her insistence that she needs to see him in person: ‘What could possibly need to be said that can only be conveyed face to face?’
There are some situations that are so complicated, so utterly morally grey, but ultimately require a strong decision. Nobody wants to be the guy at the lever in the trolley problem, but if you find yourself in that position, your decision means something whether it’s one of action or inaction. One man recently took to …

‘Who wants to go to the Four Seasons Orlando?: Unusually sentient baby answers question with great clarity, shocks the internet
The internet has always been obsessed with adorable babies. I would argue that YouTube couldn’t have become what it is today without the immense viral success of «Charlie Bit My Finger.» But times have changed. Charlie is likely a legal adult by now, and TikTok is the #1 distributor of adorable baby videos. That is …

‘Teaching 7 classes a semester on 3 different campuses and making less than $30k/year’: Workers share experiences in the workplace that radicalized them
Everyone has a moment when they realize jobs can be cruel and unusual. I doubt that any of us had a great time at our first jobs, and I’m no exception to that rule. On my first day of selling my labor, I asked if I could leave when the shift was scheduled to end, …
