Below, you’ll find the full story that was recently posted on the “Am I the [Jerk]?...
“What do you do for a living?” or words to that effect are common first-date ice-breakers. By the time you’re 9 months into the relationship , it’s safe to say you should know what profession your partner is in. Unless, of course, they’re with the CIA or something super classified. His girlfriend didn’t even need to say she was a nurse .

Even though four in five people consider themselves knowledgeable about the human body, a 2020 study revealed only one in ten know that O-negative is the universal blood type. Furthermore, thirty-five percent don’t know their own blood group. A third also didn’t know the human body has two kidneys — with one in five thinking we have three or more.

Do you hear that?

Ronald Ulysses Swanson is probably the manliest man that has ever manned on our or any other planet ever. His aim to make government less efficient and a fervent disregard for any public interaction rang close to home to many viewers. His love for woodworking, breakfast food, and nautical literature strummed on the heartstrings of even more of them. And his deadpan humor and stereotypically masculine character made him one of the most beloved personas in the world of situation comedy series....

For centuries, royalty has been synonymous with duty, tradition, and power. However, not everyone born into or married into a crown chooses to keep it. From love stories that defied royal protocol to corruption scandals that shook entire nations, these members of the nobility made the decision to step back, relinquish their titles, or abdicate their thrones. Some said goodbye quietly to live ordinary lives (though often retaining certain privileges), while others left amid controversy and opposition from their people....
Humans love to use logic to make decisions. If the forecast says it’s going to rain tomorrow, you probably won’t want to schedule a picnic.

Sometimes, you just have a feeling . Women on Reddit have been opening up about times when they ignored their intuition while dating , so we’ve gathered a list of their stories below....
How many of you had a childhood dream of becoming a spy or a detective? In my case, Totally Spies! and detective movies and novels are to blame. Specifically, the Sherlock Holmes franchise and Agatha Christie’s book to film adaptations. Growing up, the feelings of curiosity and nosiness were insatiable, and watching detective films was one way to “feed” the latter. It was likely The Pink Panther and Totally Spies! that got us hooked on the detective genre in the first place....
Even if you are not a comic book fan, since Marvel put its characters on the big screen, getting to know them has become so much easier.

As more and more countries consider legalizing medically assisted euthanasia , the debate continues over how, when and who should be considered for the procedure, and what other options exist. Most recently is the story of Emma Bray , a terminally ill English woman who passed away after choosing to voluntarily stop eating and drinking as a way to take control over her final moments of life. But other stories have highlighted instances when the procedure seems to go wrong, or when it was seemingly suggested as a solution for a severely ill patient who does not want to d*e....

Just a few days ago, I had a chance to write an article about the enchanting Sunflowers of Vincent van Gogh and was a little upset that I couldn’t include probably my favorite one called The Starry Night. Funny enough, not long after, the world received the breaking news about a very special discovery from the biologist Akshay Khandekar and his team. The scientists were traveling to the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu when they discovered the unique gecko Vangoghi – a tiny masterpiece of nature reflecting van Gogh’s The Starry Night on its skin....

One of the most prominent deeds of the foundation is the opening of JBJ Soul Kitchen, the community restaurant where people in need are not required to pay for their meals....
Weddings are meant to be joyful. Stressful, yes, but joyful nonetheless. Between finding a caterer that doesn’t serve dry chicken and making sure your aunt doesn’t bring her yappy dog as a plus-one, the last thing anyone needs is a wedding crasher with main character syndrome. For today’s Original Poster (OP), the drama doesn’t feature a jealous ex, but a territorial childhood friend who apparently believes “till death do us part” applies to the OP’s fiancé....

Teenagers are notoriously bad listeners. Whether mom and dad are nagging about turning their music down, doing the dishes, coming home before curfew or cleaning their room, it is in a teenager’s nature to rebel. They usually don’t mean any harm, but the words of a parent can go in one ear and right out the other. Inevitably, there will come a time (or many times) where every parent has the opportunity to give their teenager a large, loud, “I told you so!...
