The internet is toxic – here are five possible cures The Internet can be a tremendously awful place. Here are some ideas for solutions from thinkers all over the world.
Anybody who’s spent any amount of time logged on knows that the Internet can be a tremendously awful place. The same series of tubes that brings us movie trailers and dog pics are also used to deliver hatred and vitriol from complete strangers. And if you think that things are getting worse online, you’re right. The Internet Health Report, a new project from Mozilla, aims to build a picture of the sanity and stability of the Internet, all three billion online souls who make it what it is. It’s a dense and difficult report, full of information, and although there are certainly some positives, it also offers some chilling predictions.…

Men can be a little tricky to decipher. Yours might seem distant and disinterested, yet be ready for marriage, 2.5 kids, and a three bedroom house in the suburbs.

4 common dreams and what they say about your life Your subconscious mind might be sending you a message that could be useful to you in your everyday waking life.
Dreams happen every night to everybody. And although it seems like your subconscious is just playing dress up with your thoughts and memories like a toddler on a sugar high, some experts believe that a lot of those seemingly random dreams aren’t that random after all. Your subconscious mind might be sending you a message that could be useful to you in your everyday waking life. Our brain giving us this information while we’re unconscious and laying in our moist, drool covered pillow instead of just giving it to us plainly while we’re awake is some passive aggressive bullshit. But since we have a soft spot for you, here are…

Finding and keeping work-life balance in a post-Corona world One of the unpredictable outcomes of COVID-19 is just how much it has changed our lives for good.
This year has added extra levels of stress to the lives of most people in ways that they simply wouldn’t have believed possible twelve months ago.

This is how you learn to love yourself again Your relationship with yourself is one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to maintain.
Your relationship with yourself is one of the hardest things you’ll ever have to maintain. Life is difficult and sometimes it feels like the universe is actively working against our joy. Whether it’s bills, or school, or even a terrible relationship our lives ebb and flow with both the terrible and the wonderful. Keeping a good grasp on your self-worth can be challenging. We’re the most difficult on ourselves because we know above everyone else what we’re capable of, and how much potential we possess.

How I restored my virginity with subliminal messages It's not as crazy as it sounds.
Please don’t be confused, alarmed, or think me a fool. Subliminal messaging is a powerful tool based on science and not at all as crazy as it sounds. Hear me out. And before I start, I need to point out that there’s nothing wrong with not being a virgin — if you live in a Western country! In many non-Western parts of the world, however, losing your virginity before marriage is heavily frowned upon and often even a criminal or fatal offense. So stop and think before you judge me as a bad person for restoring my virginity. Now, for those of you who don’t even know what I’m talking…

4 ways a psychology degree can ruin your relationship Whether by design or accident, here are the ways a psychology degree can damage or destroy a relationship.
Despite all the mentally ill people who have been helped with the assistance of psychology, every useful thing in this world can be wielded as a weapon as well — including psychology. A psychology degree may damage a person’s relationship directly or inadvertently; knowledge and training can be utilized, even subconsciously, to pick apart fights, start them, or inflict hurtful situations on others without consequence. Using psychology in a detrimental manner can even be an accident. A person with a psychology degree may mean well, but can misuse their training in their emotionally charged state. Some are crueler, and may use their knowledge of psychology to get away with acting…

Hoax or not, the Boston Serial Rapist story teaches important lessons Hubbub over student's fake confession reveals some interesting things about #rapeculture and the way we think about men.
The Facebook page is down, but the story is this: Boston College runs a “confessions” page wherin people can “confess” to their various transgressions and sins and get some feedback. A few days ago, confession number 7122 (jeez, those Boston kids must be up to a whack of no good) went up. The tl;dr summary is #7122 had sex with two passed out drunk girls and forced another who was very drunk but not quite passed out. #7122: I’ve never told anyone this, but I can no longer hold it in. Being that I am not a very social guy, nor am I particularly good looking, girls don’t tend to…
