On a road trip from the great white north down to Texas, my family of 4 stopped at a Whataburger for dinner after waiting at a family-style restaurant to be served, and instead ignored, for 45 minutes. My parents are brown and my sibling and I are white-passing — we were in northern Texas and it was one of my first…

Summer. European family vacation. Sister with undiagnosed, untreated mental health issues.

Every summer in the mid to late ‘60's. Lake Puckaway, Wisconsin. Trapped in a tiny smelly cabin with my stepfather who insisted on trying to teach me how to fish. I don’t recall either of us catching any fish. Ever. He made sure I knew that was my fault. He got so angry with me one year, he yanked the fishing pole out…

If the worst thing rich people did with their money was own hobby farms, we’d be in a much better world. I’m more worried about what else Pratt throws his money at based on his religious views.

You’re 5000 candles in the wind, Prince Rupert.

There are many reasons that former servers believe everyone should spend a stint in food service in order to better understand the human condition

Loved reading that breakdown of what’s wrong with dating apps. I really feel like those issues could be solved. I tried starting a dating app to fix those issues, then realized it takes a shit ton of money to get a dating app off the ground.

Obligatory post: Bob Ross as a young man, pre-beard:

I swear, folks act like reading isn’t optional, and scrolling by ain’t free. But go off, I guess (for lack of anything better to do).

God, I can’t imagine it would be possible to have anything resembling an enjoyable meal in a restaurant right now. I guess there are times you can’t eat at home but I don’t even know if I’d sit in a restaurant if the meal was free.

Well, damn! +1

In this episode of Shitting in the Wrong Place we congratulate this one for the ultimate prize of shitting in the most perfectly wrong place.

Completely hit the nail on the head with the app experience! I never heard anyone else complain about it, but boring af responses are way more aggravating to me than the gross ones. I can block you if you’re gross, but I feel less sure when you’re just boring. Even my guy friends didn’t see it as a sign of disinterest…

Not for nothing, but I met my wife through Coffee Meets Bagel. Sometimes switching up the app you use might be worth trying?

Derek was also, objectively, the worst, though.

I met my girlfriend of 7 months on Bumble. She tells me that out of approximately 650 likes that she received (in the week that she was subscribed), she only spoke to a handful of us and in the end, it came down to me and one other guy. I seemed like the more stable and relatable of the two (to be fair, he’s…

NASCAR apparently did their own investigation of all the garages (not just that track but all the garages on all their tracks) and of the 1000+ garages something like 11 had pulls that were tied into a knot and of those only one was tied into a noose... 

1: The headline request is “Awful sex is ruining my relationship,” and the advice is “Awful relationship is ruining my sex.”

I learned this the hard way: If you are wearing a face shield, don’t talk loudly and certainly don’t shout. The curvature of the shield redirects the sound towards your ears, and it can be painful! I discovered this while doing an experiment in front of a large high school class. My first line to the unruly class was…

Heartbroken Surgeon:

First, Harris is hella right: the relationship is toxic. As someone who was in a longterm relationship that became toxic, I’ll second the notion to get out.

But, you’re feeling insecure about sex and sexuality, and lemme say, I was right there, too. I honestly didn’t feel comfortable with sex until…
