Here are Some Incredibly Annoying Interactions With Social Media “Influencers”

This whole “influencer” culture absolutely baffles me.

These people are famous for what?

And we’re supposed to follow them why?

Plus, apparently a whole lot of them are totally annoying. Are these people serious?

Let’s go to the evidence…

1. Free tickets needed.

"Influencer" wanted free tickets to a CHARITY event from ChoosingBeggars

2. Free rent, please!

Bachelorette contestant wants free rent to be "live-in influencer" from ChoosingBeggars

3. That’s kind of sad…

World-famous model will promote your club for a $25 bottle of vodka. from ChoosingBeggars

4. Gimme gimme gimme.

If you give me your products for free, I will write good reviews because I’m a social media influencer (This person wrote that instead of an actual review. They thought the review section is where you can solicit business) from ChoosingBeggars

5. Shaming.

A beauty influencer posted screenshots of her demanding PR for a $17 eyeshadow palette in an attempt to shame an indie brand, instead she just came across as catty and childish from ChoosingBeggars

6. Thanks, but no thanks.

Makeup Brand DMed beauty guru about sending her their product for free and in turn she would post a video using the product on her page. The company replied rudely when she told them she has a fee for doing that. from ChoosingBeggars

7. Sounds like a scam to me…

An ‘influencer’ I know from ChoosingBeggars

8. I’ll give you exposure!

My friend does nails from home and entitled “influencer” wants to trade exposure for free nails, takes to insulting her job and kids when her offer is declined. Will post backstory in comments from ChoosingBeggars

9. “Oh boy” is right.

"Influencer’s" Agent asking for a free wedding package. Oh boy. from ChoosingBeggars

10. What a deal.

Have you had any infuriating interactions with so-called “influencers”?

Tell us all about it in the comments. Ugh!

Little Things All Married Couples Know Are the Gospel Truth

Marriage can be really tough, but if you’re in it with a person who is intent on making it work as much as you are, it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.

If you’ve been or are married, there are just some things you know are true for everyone – below are 16 of those things, and if nothing else, they’ll make you feel like we’re all kind of in this together.

16. It’s important to know what parts of your partner need to be scratched from time to time.

When the scratches are just too good ?? (@oliviaejair)

A post shared by WOOF WOOF® (@woofwooftv) on

Maybe especially when you don’t feel like doing it.

15. Sometimes sex is tedious and boring and you’re tired and not in the mood and that’s a fact of life.

Sometimes you do it anyway, and it’s really not as bad as you thought.

14. You will absolutely recognize your marriage issues in family sitcoms which means that your marriage is not as special and unique as you probably thought it was.

Which is kind of a good thing, because that means your problems aren’t special, either.

13. If you’re not talking about sex — what makes your eyes rollback, what makes them just roll — chances are it’s not that great.

Never stop trying to be better in all aspects of your marriage.

12. At some point, you have to stop being “lovers” and start being teammates who fuck occasionally.

And idk that’s kind of my favorite point.

11. Everyone thinks about leaving. That’s just a part of staying.

It doesn’t mean you’re going to.

10. Arguing before coffee is a waste of time.

No one is in their right mind.

9. Having a kid bonds you, sure. You’re doing it together, and learning together. It will also lead to intense power struggles and some of the most bare-knuckled brawls you never imagined you’d have. About things like the best way to burp the baby, or what kind of cheese you should use in that seven-layer dip recipe.

It really does change everything.

8. There will come a time when your most regular texts from your spouse will be “Can you pick up X from the grocery store?”

It’s not sexy, but it’s helpful. Which is kind of sexy.

7. Every married couple should probably talk about finances way more often than they are.

I feel this all the way down to my bones.

6. Forgiveness is for people you don’t share a bed with. Forgetfulness is for people you do.

The phrase is forgive and forget for a reason.

5. Talking about your partner behind their back is a good thing. To be married is to be in need of advice.

We all need a little help from our friends.

4. But there’s certain information that your spouse will consider confidential.

You need to be keenly aware of the difference.

3. Anniversaries stop being special around year ten.

Or two, if you’re me.

2. A good marriage can survive you being honest about your kink.

Hey, it might even make it a great marriage.

1. Not everything needs to be equal. In fact, nothing ever really is.

Just try your best to make sure that it’s fair.

So, what we’re saying is, you’re not alone!

Good luck out there married friends; it can be a rough row to hoe, but the harvest is worth it (most of the time).

This is What You Should Do If You’re Approached by a Dog Without a Leash If You’re Walking Your Dog

Very few things raise your blood pressure when you’re walking with your own pet like seeing a dog run toward you off its leash.

Many states have laws against this occurrence, but it happens all the time. Either a dog escapes from its yard or an owner is overconfident in their pet’s capacity to behave off the leash.

Whether that dog is friendly or not, there are ways to protect yourself and your dog when you’re approached. Use the strategies below to keep any unexpected  encounters low-key.

1. Be Aware of Your Surroundings

Instead of scrolling through your phone or listening to a podcast on your walk, remain engaged and aware of what’s going on around you.

You’re more likely to see escapees before they’re right in front of you and your pet.

2. Lure Your Dog Away

Before your dog engages with a strange dog, use treats and praise to lead yours away.

You want to create enough distance that they lose interest in each other. Easy to do when treats are involved.

3. Use Barriers

If possible, put something large between you and the approaching dog.

Stand behind a parked car or structure to make getting to you and your dog more difficult.

4. Use Commands

Many dogs know the words sit or stay and will obey even if you’re not their owner.

Try, “go home.” That may work too for a strange dog.

5. Know How To Pick Up Your Own Dog

You may feel like snatching up your own small dog when a big one approaches. This will work if you do it right.

Turn your back before scooping up your pet. Otherwise, you may unintentionally invite the bigger one to jump or pounce.

7. Look for Signs of Dog Aggression

All dogs are different, but erect ears and low growling while running straight at you will generally tell you what you need to know.

But, even if the dog seems friendly, it’s best to put some distance between you two.

8. Report the incident

To prevent injuries to dogs and people, report any encounters with off-leash dogs.

Someone may be looking for them.

9. Don’t Panic

Don’t run away or let your dog know you think something is wrong.

Create distance and if the other dog is following, have yours sit or lie down.

10. Avoid Dog Sprays

Depending on the wind, you may only end up fumigating yourself or your own pet.

So what if the worst happens and the dogs begin fighting? NEVER try to pull them apart. You may get seriously injured.

Instead, call for help and try to spray them with water or putting something large between them.

Please, don’t worry… these encounters rarely become too dramatic. But, it’s always good to know the ways you can keep yourself, your pet and other animals safe before an accidental meeting.

Do you have any tips you’d like to give? Let us know in the comments!

22 Google Chrome Extensions That Will Save You Time and Money

Listen up!

Customer and user customization is key for companies looking to maintain a solid consumer base. For example, have you ordered a meal and asked to substitute the offered side (like vegetables) for french fries only for the waiter to reply, “Sorry, no substitutions.” It’s frustrating!

The same thing happens with technology. User experiences are super important for these companies. I’m sure you’ve noticed (especially on social media apps) how changes are made to enhance the platforms. Chrome, a Google product, is one technology that lends customization to their users to personalize their own experience.

So what are extensions?

Google explains it as,

“Extensions are small software programs that customize the browsing experience. They enable users to tailor Chrome functionality and behavior to individual needs or preferences.

They are built on web technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.”

In layman’s terms, you can install little bits of software to help your browser react certain ways. They “are typically used to add features and enhance the functionality of a website, [but] they can also be used to remove unwanted website elements such as pop-up ads and features such as auto-play for online videos.”

So what extensions are the best? Reddit user, u/acidplasm posed the question, “What Chrome extensions make the internet 100x better?” and here are the best answers!

22. Where was this when I was in college?

21. Research done at a click of the mouse

20. This is the master for ad-blocking and content filtering

19. Netflix and PARTY!

18. This is a cooking game changer! NO more hunting for ingredients.

17. Gotta Chatty Cathy at work? This will save the day!

16. Save your eyes, get the Dark Reader

15. Fast-forward those boring lecture videos and ads

14. This deserved a second mention…fast-forward HULU too!

13. Looking for some comedy while you web-surf?

12. Go back in style with the “View Image” extension

11. “I want Honey”

10. For the cat lovers

9. Always view your websites in print-friendly mode

8. Track falling prices on Amazon

7. Keep tabs open, if you intend on going back

6. Quick zoom for photos

5. Why? LOL

4. Tabby Cat for another mention! Love for the kitties

3. Forget the mouse, use your keyboard to browse

2. A money-saver crawler for frugal shoppers

1. My personal fav!

As you can see this list has something for everyone, but certainly not an exhaustive list! Check out the Google Chrome webstore for more. You can check reviews, the number of users and overall ratings!

Happy hunting!

A Little Boy’s Drumming Video Goes Viral and He Got to Meet His Heroes Onstage

Slipknot has had a rabid fan following for more than two decades. Their live shows, complete with their explosive stage show and frightening masks, have made them a perennial favorite among metalheads.

And a 5-year-old boy from England named Caleb is one of those diehard Slipknot fans. And boy, did young Caleb get to live out a dream recently due to his own musical prowess.

It all started when Slipknot’s Jay Weinberg retweeted a viral video of Caleb air-drumming perfectly at a Slipknot show.

Caleb also went viral when this video of him playing along with a Slipknot song was viewed over 1.3 million times on YouTube (so far). Even his Slipknot costume and face paint are on point.

The band was so impressed with Caleb’s skill and dedication that they invited him to a show in Birmingham, England, to meet the band and they even invited him to come out on stage.

Flip through these awesome photos on Weinberg’s Instagram page to see what a blast young Caleb had that night.

Caleb’s Twitter account posted about the epic evening as well.

I love this story! Keep drumming, Caleb, so we can see you playing up on stage soon!

Start ’em young, parents! Being a metalhead is a lifetime commitment!

This is Where You Can Watch “Hair Love,” the Oscar-Winning Short

You’ve probably heard of the short film Hair Love and its well-deserved 2020 Oscar Award for Best Short Film.

Director Matthew A. Cherry had an NFL career before settling on filmmaking as his next passion. His short film touches on the struggle of Black fathers who struggle to style their daughter’s hair, all with adorable animations that challenge negativity about natural hair.

What many don’t know is that Cherry began his Hair Love journey with a Kickstarter campaign. But Cherry’s journey is even more endearing because of his own declarations in 2012.

The director and his collaborators, who include Karen Rupert Tolive, wanted to make a film that shattered stereotypes and prejudices against Black people, especially those who choose not to straighten their hair. Cherry says,

 “Hair Love was done because wanted to see more representation in animation.

We wanted to normalize black hair.”

Indeed, the director is right that there are few animations and films that depict natural hair in a positive light. But there’s more. Cherry gave a heartfelt speech when he won, and he used his moment to shine a light on the CROWN Act, a law that would bar discrimination against people who choose natural hairstyles.

Cherry posted the short film on his website and on YouTube for easier access.

Hair Love has already had a major impact and influence on the way people discuss natural hair.

Americans Are Going to the Library More than They Are Going to the Movies

This is pretty interesting.

According to a Gallup poll, American libraries are still very important even in this digital age where information is at our fingertips at any time.

Gallup asked a sample of 1,025 adults across all 50 states and the District of Columbia the number of times they engaged in nine leisure activities in the past year. The winner was taking a trip to the local library.

Yeah, really.

Participants responded that they made 10.5 trips to the library, which was more than the runner-up activity of going to see a movie. That came in with an average of 5.3 times. The zoo had the least amount of visits at 0.9.

Here’s what’s interesting… Gallup did a similar poll in 2001 and found the results were similar in this follow-up. This suggests that trips to the library are just as important even as technology advances.

Libraries also offer many free amenities like wifi and use of computers. Pollsters found that people from low income households tended to rate libraries high on their list.

A Pew Research Center study in 2016 also found that 29 percent of people used libraries for these services.

Photo Credit: Pixabay

More expensive leisure activities like gambling or trips to amusement parks sat at the bottom of the Gallup list.

Women tended to visit the library more than men at a rate of 13.4 visits, on average, compared to 7.5 visits for men. Men also wanted to participate in activities that require tickets such as theme and amusement parks.

As far as those movie numbers, adults without kids went to the movies the most often.

But, in these fast-moving, high-tech times, it’s nice to know the old-fashioned library is still serving our communities as well as they did in their beginnings.

Long live the library!
