My name is Guido Gutierrez Ruiz and I had the privilege of visiting Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean just southwest of Portugal. Walking through its capital Funchal, I was amazed by the hidden beauty of this city. Art, everywhere! The Painted Doors Project has transformed Funchal into a permanent art gallery, giving life to the city by painting every door with a unique personality. Here are some of the colorful doors I visited....

During a trip to Romania, I had the chance to shoot the abandoned casino in Constanta. As a pearl watching over the Black Sea, where wealthy travelers and the elite flocked from all over Europe to play and dance all night in what used to be the most magnificent building of the country. I hope my photographs will give you a glimpse of what the atmosphere was like back in time!...

The Bergerons might be sending out the most awkward Christmas cards , but the Stanleys know how to play the game as well. This family from Charlotte, North Carolina have been using the same format to capture the essence of raising boys, and this year a baby sister has joined in the fun. “The very first time we tried to take a “traditional” Christmas card photo we had hilariously bad results,” Jonathan Stanley told Bored Panda ....

Meet Jill – a 7-year-old rescue squirrel. This cutie was rescued from Hurricane Isaac that came ashore in Louisiana back in August 2012. Jill the Squirrel has her own Instagram account named This Girl Is A Squirrel with more than 630k followers from all around the world.

Sometimes, we come across family members who just can’t bear to see anything happen in our life. They can be spiteful over the stupidest things, and it’s best to ignore them, but when they keep pushing things, they’re going to get burned eventually, right? The same thing happened to this toxic sister-in-law who kept nagging the sick original poster (OP) about how husbands tend to leave their sick wives due to their illness....

Beauty—as well as its absence—is all around us. But it takes a perceptive eye to notice it—or the lack of it—consciously. When it’s entwined with the design of ordinary things, beauty helps create a unique atmosphere that makes us care about our urban environment. However, a lack of it can be harmful and lead to apathy for our surroundings. That’s the lesson that The Cultural Tutor, a popular Twitter account, taught us all in a recent viral thread....

The face of CoverGirl , Tyra Banks, has opened up about a self-professed “ disgusting and erotic ” proclivity. Speaking on Today With Jenna & Friends earlier this week, she explained to her host, Jenna Bush Hager, that she was happy to exercise this fixation on any one of her family and friends. In fact, she is so committed to the quirk that she even has a dedicated “kit” for it....

Canadian blogger Anne Thériault was minding her own business in a Toronto coffee shop when she heard a date dipped in so much douchebaggery, she actually LIVE-TWEETED the spectacle. Using her smartphone, Thériault documented the 30-minute date in which the guy showed no apparent interest in the girl he was with. In addition to asking her whether she’d “ever dated a writer” (hint; that was his job), he also confessed to looking “like James Franco”, and told her his Puttanesca pasta sauce was even better than his friend’s… who, incidentally, is a chef....

People with low self-confidence often find it hard to look past their “flaws” and see the bigger picture. This can create massive problems in their relationships , especially if the “reason” they’re clinging to is not real. A man on Reddit shared how his wife confronted him after he had a conversation with a woman in a bikini. He thinks nothing happened, but she isn’t willing to let it go....

An old proverb says: “Don’t spit into the well, you might need to drink from it.” This kind of worldly wisdom is actually found in many cultures, and even now, when we actually hardly drink from wells, it hasn’t lost its relevance. Of course, it’s about not treating people badly when you may need to ask them for help later on. Our story today, first told by the user u/kidneybean1234 , details a case just like this when a person who has always been quite rude and neglectful towards a friend’s daughter, one day, faced a crucial situation where she needed help....

Weddings are meant to be unforgettable, but some moments stick for all the wrong reasons. One second, you’re clinking champagne glasses and dancing in celebration, and the next, you’re frozen in place, watching someone else’s relationship take center stage at an event that definitely wasn’t about them. It’s the kind of twist that would make even the DJ hit pause. That’s exactly what happened when today’s Original Poster’s (OP) boyfriend decided to turn her best friend’s wedding into a surprise proposal opportunity....

Every once in a while, one might come across a story about a person maintaining a hidden family. Generally, this almost sounds like fiction, how can someone have the time, energy or resources to maintain two relationships when so many struggle with even one.

Going on a summer vacation is supposed to be a relaxing reset before heading back to your stressful life. A week to lay by the beach, soak up some sun and drink margaritas. You should not have to worry about anything, staying in a hotel where someone else is responsible for cooking your meals and cleaning your sheets. And this time should be spent bonding with a friend or family member you love dearly who will only enhance the experience....

It’s no secret that company CEOs earn more money than the typical worker . Of course, the complexity and scope of their role often justify the hefty paychecks they receive. However, it can ignite a sense of resentment within the organization if employees aren’t compensated fairly while their superiors continue to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Recently, redditor Puzzlehead12342 revealed that the CEO in their workplace makes $186 million, which is more than all of the employee s make within a year....

Life is full of annoyances and sometimes you just don’t have the energy to deal with everything thoroughly. That’s when you decide to give 35% and just do something almost halfway. However, that doesn’t mean that because a solution is quick and possibly dumb it’s not going to work. These people witnessed that with their own eyes. When the occasion called for it, they took action that might’ve seemed dumb , but worked wonders....

Everyone knows that if you give toddlers just a little freedom, they’ll soon be climbing the walls. These tiny tots are notorious for their wild shenanigans, so they must be kept under close watch. If they’re let loose somehow, all parents better watch out. This is the kind of mayhem a quiet children’s museum saw when an irresponsible mom opened the toddler gate and unleashed a flood of curious tykes. Parents rushed to capture their kids, but this “Karen” still refused to apologize, until the museum’s manager punished her....

“Love thy neighbor” might sound great on paper, but it’s gosh darn difficult to put into practice. Especially if you happen to have barely anything in common and prefer to keep to yourself. “Good fences make good neighbors,” indeed. Sometimes, no matter how polite someone is, others just prefer to be left alone. One redditor asked the AITA subreddit for their opinion about a bit of neighborly drama that she had recently gotten into....

A simple glance at most human myths and epics would suggest that we like heroes. So most of us tend to also admire certain people we find cool or inspirational, favorite singers and actors, an artist whose works struck a chord. But unfortunately, sometimes ignorance is bliss. Mother Teresa. She was awful, making her patients suffer while she took all the pain meds when it was her suffering. scruffyrosalie , Reagan White House Photographs Report...
