I understand being protective of your children. There are good reasons for not letting your kids under 11 years old stay home alone or go in public unattended. That being said, you can’t live your life in fear of something absurdly awful happening to your child. The chance of your teenager becoming the next Jacie …

45+ of the Freshest and Funniest Tweets of the Week (May 11, 2024)
One of Twitter’s trademark features is also one of its greatest drawbacks: the character limit. It keeps things brief, digestible, and conversational. You don’t want anyone running around posting paragraphs and tomes… that’s what Wattpad is for. With everyone forced to reduce their ideas to a sentence-long quip, things get flashier and rougher. Nuance on Twitter? Yeah, ok, …

Worker complains about living paycheck to paycheck, despite making $80K per year and paying $1175 a month in rent: ‘This is extremely affordable living’
Everyone has a different definition of «living paycheck to paycheck.» If you’ve never lived in actual poverty, you have no idea how resourceful you have to be to stretch less than $100 over two weeks and how stressful it is to live like that.

‘Think about poor robot!’: Self checkout kiosk asks customers to tip, sparks confusion and outrage
I understand the common cultural sentiment that tipping has gone too far. I don’t think that we need to abolish the system altogether because, under a tipping system, waiters and bartenders are actually able to make a living wage in America. I don’t trust that if waiters were making a fair hourly wage, they would …

‘Do you wear the same clothes several days in a row?’: Man proudly does laundry twice a month, gets roasted by parents doing 7 loads a week and clean freaks
There is a vast chasm between how often people do the laundry. If you’re doing laundry for a family of 5, you will do it more frequently than a single person. I used to think I did my laundry an average amount, but after a recent Twitter discourse, I’m unsure. I do my laundry on …

Lovers argue whether experiencing your first heartbreak at 17 or 30 is more destabilizing: ‘Imagine going through your first breakup and you have to join a Teams meeting’
Nobody likes being broken up with. It is a bad situation for everyone involved, but sometimes it has to be done. If you’ve never been broken up with or been the person who has had to cut it off, you’re a lucky duck, at least for now. Not to be the bad guy, but I’ve …

‘Most people I’ve known peaked somewhere between 25 and 30’: Youngsters debate whether your 20s or 30s are your true prime
Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been afraid of «peaking.» The idea of reaching a point where you feel like «everything’s downhill from here» was and still is terrifying. I remember being in the car with my high school girlfriend’s dad, and we talked about peaking in high school. I mentioned not wanting to …

Wasteful woman’s 3-hour shower, hundreds of unnecessary bath products spark controversy online: ‘This is worse than that cupboard full of Stanley cups’
I’m all for a decadent shower. After all, it’s one of the only surefire means of pleasure in this life. A hot shower with some good-smelling soap and some nice tunes, now that’s my idea of a fun night. It immediately helps you unwind, not to mention feel clean. But you’ve gotta draw a line …

‘As adults, we don’t share our personal items’: Controversial mom rejects the idea that ‘sharing is caring’
Like many kids, I grew up on the idea that «Sharing is caring.» As an only child, that was hard to grasp sometimes. Still is. Since there wasn’t anyone around to share things with, I kept my stuff to myself. But I’ve learned to compensate as an adult. My friends and roommates are constantly borrowing …

Job posting demands 10 years experience using Generative AI, despite ChatGPT coming out less than 2 years ago: ‘Ideal candidate will have good time-travelling skills’
It’s a truth universally acknowledged that job applications often ask for more than they need. They want to appeal to smart, qualified candidates and do so by setting their expectations to the moon and hoping that someone who is realistically qualified still applies despite the requests for years and years of experience. I don’t like …
