About a month ago, I left the comfort of my mom’s home and moved into an apartment in an attempt to introduce a simulacrum of normalcy into my life. And, so far, it’s been okay: Sure, I miss my cats, getting my bed made and no crusts on my sandwiches, […]
A lot of high school students know exactly what they want out of life. Armed with this knowledge, they pick a college that excels in their major of choice, secure internships in their desired field of employment and, four years later, come out incredibly well prepared for a career they […]
The site Ashley Madison, which, ostensibly, puts married people looking for an affair in touch with those that can give them one, had its database of user info hacked a few months ago. The group responsible for the act released the data which, predictably enough, contained the names of several […]
