Negotiating your salary at a job interview feels kind of wrong because you feel like you need that job more than the employer needs you, so you don’t want to ask too much as it could make them not consider you as a candidate. Although many recruiters and HR specialists on social media keep encouraging job applicants to do that. One nurse did just that. Actually, it was the recruiter who suggested negotiating as the candidate’s resume specified her preferred starting rate, which was too high for the company....

Many impactful people throughout history liked to repeat that “With great power comes great responsibility.” But in exchange for carrying that responsibility, one would like to be appropriately compensated. People who are in high-status positions always earn more because of how important their decisions are, but there are many other professions that aren’t necessarily at the top when talking about hierarchy, but their work is just as impactful. One of those professions is a teacher....

Known for her striking features and glamorous red carpet looks, Megan Fox posted a mirror selfie that left fans in awe as she embraced a more natural and almost makeup-free look. While some fans stated the obvious about her being drop-dead gorgeous, others blinked in disbelief and felt that the actress looked unrecognizable. Ditching the layers of professional makeup, the 37-year-old star stood in front of the mirror in a comfy homebody look—a black bra and red plaid pajama bottoms—and smiled for the camera, rocking her many inches of cascading blue hair....

Kristina Watts from Belfair, Washington came up with a simple yet genius trick – creating a photo wishlist....

Theme parks have their ups and downs, both literally and figuratively. Some last forever, hosting epic crowds and the queues that come with them. Others just kind of fade away, once places where memories were made, now just derelict or awaiting demolition. Disneyland’s “Tomorrowland”, despite numerous attempts to reimagine it, has slipped into obscurity, getting just a smattering of visitors each year. And no building quite describes how dated the land is better than the Star Wars Launch Bay, no matter the power of the Force....

Two things that we don’t expect to read in the same sentence are the words ‘virginity’ and ‘pizza.’ If you’re confused, welcome to our world, because we couldn’t believe our eyes when we saw what Andrew Bellinger posted on his Twitter feed. Andrew told the internet that back in middle school, he was ‘forced’ to sign a virginity card that doubled as a Domino’s Pizza coupon. That card was given instead of proper sex-education lessons....

At this point, it’s probably quite safe to say that most folks watch the Kardashians not because they actually want to see how rich folk live or learn a thing or two about success, but rather are wondering “what ridiculous thing will they come up with next?” The family is known online to be extremely out of touch with reality, with Kylie Jenner’s unorthodox approach to cutting cucumbers , Kylie’s and Kris’ adventures at the drive-through car wash , and now Kylie Jenner’s 3-minute flight with a private jet ....

It is considered that criticizing modernity is the business of boomers. Older people, for example, are well aware that in the past, films were way more interesting, friendships were stronger, the sky bluer, and in general the whole world was much better than it is now. On the other hand, the modern world could be a tad bit better than it really is. At the end of the 20th century, many scientists believed that the new one would become the golden age of mankind - and indeed, with the rapid development of technology, medicine, and the growth of total comfort, one could really expect something like that....

Even if you’re not that hyped about The Mandalorian series, you still probably have heard about the recent sensation The Child, or as the internet dubbed him, baby Yoda.

What if we could have a more advanced space travel? What if we could transport ourselves through time? What if communication with aliens was a daily reality and supernatural forces from other dimensions found their way to our planet? Science fiction TV shows—same as science fiction books before them—answer these questions to satiate our curiosity. Science fiction, or sci-fi for short, is a vast genre that combines various separate genres: time travel, space exploration, extraterrestrial life, supernatural activity, parallel universes, sentient machines and technologies, and many more....

Turns out, this cat possesses a unique set of skills. And they all earned this feline a nickname… jailbreaker!...

We, adults, often forget of so many things we can learn from children. One of those things, that often comes so naturally to them, is being kind and empathetic. Kids just can’t look away when they see someone in pain and do their best to cheer them up.

Turn that frown upside down! We all know that it’s best to approach life with a positive attitude and to look on the bright side as often as possible. But it’s just not realistic to do that all the time. Life happens, and when you’re having a bad day , the last thing you want to hear is that you should be smiling.

Revenge is a long list of things, best served cold, cathartic, taxing and perhaps all-consuming, but sometimes it’s just plain, old funny . After all, it’s not all “The Count of Monte Cristo,” sometimes it’s just an annoying person getting their due. A woman shared her tale of petty revenge , when a new tenant tried to lowball her to keep the furnishings she installed. Instead of a great deal, she ended up with a barren apartment....

Aubren Dudley, an adoptive mother of 5 siblings, wrote in a Facebook post that she noticed the 9-year-old about to eat something that appeared strange and unappetizing to her: a block of dry ramen noodles straight out of the packet. She was about to stop him, but he explained that he wanted to eat it that way since he had developed a taste for it in his old home. When she opened up and listened to his explanation, it made her more conscious of what her kids had been through before they came to her....

Statistics show that the remarriage rate in the US has been growing steadily over the past couple of decades, and it’s no wonder – even having failed in their attempt to create a family, people try to find their happiness with another person.
