Photos From People Who Are Doing Weddings the Right Way

Ah, the wedding day. A magical time for you and your spouse, the day you’ll never forget.

No matter how hard you might try.

It is a day frequently immortalized by photographs, often very expensive ones, but some caught off-the-cuff. Of the endless supply that’s out there, though, only a few rise to the top to become internet legends that get spread far and wide to the rest of us.

Here are some of those, thanks to Imgur/Reddit.

15. Best in the world

I’d rather have a bottle in front’a me than a frontal lobotomy.

Best. Wedding. Photo. Ever.

14. You’re outta here

“At our wedding an usher had a rude girlfriend who wanted to be in the middle of pictures (dressed in white!) I got upset but my photographer said ‘I’ll fix it later don’t worry!’”

13. Potato, potato

Ironically this had to cost way more than just a normal invite.

My best friend finally mailed me an invitation to his wedding.

12. The summoning circle

Um. You good, kid?

11. What happens in Vegas

Will haunt you forever.

My uncle’s wedding in Las Vegas, streamed live on the internet. from trashy

10. Loving gift

This reminds me of when televangelists offer terrible gifts in exchange for “love offerings” to get around taxing their stupid merchandise.

I was told this wedding invitation should be under trashy. from trashy

9. Carry me home

When they talk about the threshold, I’m not sure that’s what they mean.

Every girls dream is to be carried on her wedding night. from trashy

8. Here comes the somebody

This is like the one unforgivable sin of wedding attire, how do people keep doing this?

That woman on the left is not the bride… from weddingshaming

7. Keep it classy

I mean, I’ll give ’em this, it’s a brilliant cost-saving measure.

Wasn’t expecting to see a wedding when I stopped at Wal*Mart this weekend… from trashy

6. Hiding in plain sight

Look, to each their own, but there’s something that hits me weird about hiding from would-be assassins as a form of romance.

Has anyone seen the bride? I can’t find her. from weddingshaming

5. So stinking happy

I see what you did there.

Autocorrect? from weddingshaming

4. Once again

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING, JUST STOP.

You’re probably wondering why this is shame worthy. Well how do you feel now that you know she was ***NOT*** the bride from weddingshaming

3. MRPA?

It doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.

The Russian equivalent of the MAGA wedding from weddingshaming

2. How cute

But how am I gonna look good for a photo if I’m preventing a plague? Priorities, man.

When the toppers on your toilet paper cake have masks, but none of your guests do. from weddingshaming

1. Caught him

I’m not here to kinkshame, but maybe keep this in the bedroom. And yes, that’s motherf**king Carole Baskin.

Great wedding photos.. from weddingshaming

I can only hope my big day is half as classy.

What’s the weirdest wedding you’ve ever experienced?

Employers Should Stop Doing These Things in their Job Listings

The anxiety of not knowing where your next paycheck is coming from is certainly not helped along by the fact that looking for a new job, for most of us, is a process that makes us feel like we’re taking crazy pills.

As we wade through various websites, filling out forms and trying to discern requirements, the tasks we’re asked to clear start to feel alien. Is this real life? Is this a real job?

People who find themselves hopelessly frustrated with these things will soon be on Reddit making their complaints known, and based on that, here are some things employers should maybe stop doing if they really want to land a good hire.

10. Use applicants as free marketing

Everybody can see through this.

Another company using job seekers’ desperation to do PR for free from recruitinghell

9. Use form letters that are obvious lies

Dude we literally never met.

So curious how this recruiter "enjoyed meeting me" during an interview they flaked on and didn’t apologize for missing? from recruitinghell

8. Try to hire beyond your means

So why did you talk to me?

Everybody requires security clearance, nobody got time to sponsor it. The usual. from recruitinghell

7. Be so picky

Beggars and choosers and all of that.

Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. from recruitinghell

6. Mislabel your listings

All you’re doing is wasting everybody’s time.

The location for the job posting is literally labeled "Remote"….but okay. from recruitinghell

5. Demand so much

Do you have any idea what a doctorate costs in America?

Huh?! Those qualifications, for that role, for THAT pay? from recruitinghell

4. Add extraneous responsibilities

As the list gets longer, the applicant gets more afraid.

[NY] Why are we doing this. from recruitinghell

3. Assume the worst

Resume gaps happen for all kinds of reasons, and laziness is far from the top one.

Stay Classy Recruiters from recruitinghell

2. Just disappear

You realize that by the time you get back to them, they’ve moved on.

Recruiter ghosted me on a phone screen. Two weeks later this was the email. from recruitinghell

1. List non-jobs as jobs

“After three months of not paying you, we might decide to pay you. Lucky you.”

Then don’t list it as a full time job???? from recruitinghell

Let’s start with those, shall we?

What’s the worst job application experience you’ve had lately?

Tweets That Both Cat People AND Dog People Can Enjoy

When people ask me whether I’m a cat person or a dog person, I say “yes.”

Though I will admit that if I’m going to get one as a pet, it’s more likely to be a cat. I kinda dig their self-sufficiency. They’re got their own projects going on and I can respect that.

In any case, they’re all adorable and wonderful, and these tweets are for anyone and everyone who loves either one.

15. A dumb person

Oh man, sick burn.

14. A lesson in consent

Two pats and that’s ALL.

13. A people person

I had to think about this for a moment but I’m pretty sure it’s correct.

12. An orange one

Hey, that’s a proud heritage.

11. Thems fightin’ words

Don’t wanna go barking up the wrong tree.

10. The hero we need

His heart is in the right place and that’s what counts.

9. Orange strikes back

See? PROUD. HERITAGE.

8. Reject the binary

The abyss they stare into is the haunted zone.

7. Read it again

And again and again.

6. The price you pay

Please rescue, don’t pay breeders.

5. Boundaries

Step back or get the scratch.

4. Spoil the broth

Come on, give ’em a chance.

3. Acceptance

There’s really no denying it.

2. A true bond

Humanity had its chance.

1. Real recognizes real

He’s like two steps away from paying the rent.

Whether you love cats or dogs, you can rest assured you’re a better person than those who love neither.

Which is your favorite and why?

Tell us in the comments.

Verbal Quirks That Are Uniquely Boomer

Social media is a great place to go if you want to feel horrible about yourself.

For instance, if you happen to belong to the generation known as “baby boomer,” you can watch your entire existence get reduced a dismissive catchphrase.

But there is SOME hope. For whatever reason, Twitter seems to be cataloguing a lot of boomer favorites in the language department, and maybe that, if nothing else, will help us all heal.

12. The moving picture show

Hold on, just gotta crank it for a minute or so.

11. Encouraging words

I’ve been told this by older folks even when it is very clearly untrue and honestly, I appreciate it.

10. Cut to the chase

I have a friend who’s like 29 and does this all. The. Time.

9. Definite article

I was just reading about it the other day on the Facebooks.

8. Mutually assured destruction

Gotta remember they grew up hiding under their desks from bombs.

7. Think differently

Is it aware of us? Does it KNOW?!

6. The good stuff

Don’t care how you say it, just remember to bring me some.

5. The million dollar question

Alright but that had better be a big tip. (It’s not gonna be.)

4. Do it to it

They got places to be, don’t stand in their way.

3. Dinner is served

Um, because that’s clearly hilarious.

2. Stir the pot

I prefer the Devil’s Lettuce.

1. More money

Seriously, they want to be rich.

I think we need to hold onto these phrases. Treasure them. Pass them on to future generations so that they can continue to be enjoyed by all.

What phrase do you think is unique to your generation?

Jaden Smith Has a Restaurant that Feeds the Homeless for Free

Sometimes I look around and the world seems pretty awful.

But that’s big picture. It’s funny because the song “From a Distance” talks about how if you zoom out far enough, the world looks fine and we’re all just people. No hunger, no war, etc. And that’s fair enough. Mother Earth looks pretty beautiful from Space. But all the bad stuff in the world–war, poverty, pandemics–those are all big things. And it’s easy to get overwhelmed by them.

Sometimes you have to put the big picture stuff on hold, and look for hope in the details. Like teenage Mari Copeny, aka Little Miss Flint trying to solve not only the water crisis in Michigan, but to help kids out in other ways too.

Or young Greta Thunberg inspiring an entire generation to work towards climate change. And don’t forget Boyan Slat who, at the age of 18, began to take on ocean plastic. This generation of young people is AMAZING, and there are so many stories of them that make the future seem a lot brighter.

One example is 22-year-old Jaden Smith, off-spring of LA power couple Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, who is working hard to solve the food crisis in LA. Two years ago, Jaden started a food truck called “The I Love You Restaurant” with a mission of supplying healthy, vegan meals to the homeless on Skid Row for free.

A post shared by I LOVE YOU (@iloveyourestaurant)

The reason behind this act of charity is pretty clear: selfless love for others.

But Jaden didn’t stop there. According to Tank’s Good News:

During the pandemic, Smith found a way to supply care packages to Skid Row that included food, masks, other clothing items, and hand sanitizer.

A post shared by I LOVE YOU (@iloveyourestaurant)

Taking care of those in need is a pretty epic way to exist in the world.

Together with partner Drew FitzGerald, Jaden launched a charity cleverly named 501cthree with a mission centered around “deploying solutions for energy, food, water & shelter.”

They started with a water box to provide clean, filtered water in Little Miss Flint’s domain.

A post shared by 501CTHREE (@501cthree)

Still running the food truck, and popping up in places like the Midnight Mission to scale up their services, Jaden is looking forward to a new endeavor.

 

View this post on Instagram

 

A post shared by I LOVE YOU (@iloveyourestaurant)

Next up will be an actual physical dine-in version of the “I Love You Restaurant” food truck, still free for the homeless, but serving the entire community and charging customers who are able to pay, to help fund the endeavor and allow diners to “pay it forward.”

What a remarkable young person. The kids really are all right. I can’t wait to see what they do next.

Lord of the Rings Fan Offers Unexpected Analysis of Boromir’s Demise

JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, along with The Hobbit, have inspired a cult following among readers and movie-goers.

Personally, I enjoyed the movies but never finished the books. (I’m sorry ?)

And I haven’t joined my mother in semi-annual rewatching events.

So when a Tumblr user wrote an essay about the death of Boromir my first thought was which one was that again? (Don’t stone me ?)

And my second thought was is he the one that’s in EVERYTHING? (I looked it up. Sean Bean, and yes.)

But a lengthy, viral thread from Tumblr made me want to go back and rewatch, and give Boromir his due.

SPOILER ALERT – Boromir dies. And the topic of this particular essay is the reason why his death gets more meaningful the older we get.

The user @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels believes this is because Boromir is the every man, the character we may not have aligned ourselves to as children, but who we most identify with as adults.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

It’s an interesting critical analysis worthy of any film studies or literature class, but the user didn’t stop there.

They explained why life beats you down until you are more aligned with the every man than your hero Aragorn.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

The user, @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels, has lived to see some stuff, it seems.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

And when it comes to Tolkien, they know their stuff.

Tolkien embraced the archetype. There’s a reason we all love Aragorn, and it’s not just because of Viggo Mortensen and his beautiful face.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

But Boromir served an integral part of the story. He has agency.

Without him, as with any great character, the story would have turned out differently, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

Then @letmetellyouaboutmyfeels brings it all back into context of modern life.

They explain how like Boromir we tend to be–stuck in cycles of expectation, trying, and failing, and just being human.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

But, they also point out, that there is strength in Boromir’s frailty, in his humanity.

Because he admits when he fails. And he tries and he tries and he tries again.

Just like we all do–or should–or strive to.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

@letmetellyouaboutmyfeels brings it all full circle, showing how Boromir was instrumental, before his death, in handing things off to Aragorn.

They describe how even in his last act, Boromir–human that he was–ensured the final success of the Fellowship.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

They write about the evolution of their heroes, from childhood to teenage-dom to adulthood, and how in adulthood we lose sight of the ideal, and begin to focus on our own humanity and failures.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

They point out again, all of the good that Boromir did, and all of the ways that Aragorn and the others might not have succeeded without him.

Although he was his own worst critic, as are we all, Boromir was not a complete failure. He had success too.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

And that is why his death might hit much harder now than it did as a child.

As a kid, you were probably thinking “Darn, but thank goodness it wasn’t Aragorn! He can still save the day!”

As an adult, you look at Boromir, and you just might see yourself.

Image credit: Tumblr via Cheezburger

The essay took quite a turn when you realize that it was written by, not someone in their 40s or 50s, but by someone mid 20s who has seen a lot of life.

But there’s a lot of truth in it. What about you? Does Boromir’s death get you every time?

People Talk About Their Wildest “Beyond Tired” Behaviors

Not getting enough sleep can take a huge toll on every aspect of your life.

Most of us aren’t getting enough of it, either because of work, life, or staying up out of revenge despite being tired.

Different people can function on different amounts of sleep, but at some point we all hit that moment when it’s obvious that we better catch some Z’s.

Here are 10 people who have surpassed that point.

1. Laundry is basically just “clothes recycling”

And sometimes I want to throw my dirty clothes away too.

I'm so tired that I just threw my dirty clothes in the garbage and my empty chip bag in the laundry basket.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Politeness to inanimate objects

If they’d said “Sorry,” we’d have just assumed they were Canadian.

This morning I was so tired that I thanked the elevator on my way out.

Image credit: Whisper

3. Been there, but you have to be careful

Apparently this can get very expensive.

I just dropped my phone on my face but I'm so tired that I just let it sit there on my face for a few minutes...

Image credit: Whisper

4. Autopilot is a tricky thing

It’s one more reason I don’t want a smart house.
Too. Many. Codes.

I'm so tired that I put my phone password in the microwave to heat up pizza. I need a break.

Image credit: Whisper

5. I like that it’s a someTHING and not a someONE

Tell the truth, were you flipping off the masses while drinking tea?

I was so tired that when I went to flip something off I violently stuck up my pinkie

Image credit: Whisper

6. It has a certain ring to it

And makes about as much sense as leggings so why not?

The other night when I was really tired I referred to my legs as 'skin pants'

Image credit: Whisper

7. I’ll see your exhaustion and raise you one

Because when I’m really tired, I don’t even hear the alarm.

Today I woke up and I was so tired that I thought my hand was my alarm. I stayed in bed for 10 minutes trying to shut my hand off 😑

Image credit: Whisper

8. They might be more than tired

That one is a little hard to fathom! I need more details.

I'm so tired that I put my headphones in my nose and started crying because I thought I went deaf.

Image credit: Whisper

9. This one doesn’t seem ridiculous to me

If you can blow on things to cool them down, why not to warm them up?

I was so tired that I blew on my ice cream to cool it off... I only noticed after it was all gone...

Image credit: Whisper

10. My favorite reaction of all time

Maybe the world would be a better place if we asked ourselves this more often.

Once I was so tired that when I saw my reflexion I asked out loud 'Who the f are you?'

Image credit: Whisper

Those people are all really tired, and honestly I worry about their overall health.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve done when you were uber-tired?

These People All Somehow Failed At Their Jobs

I’ve had a lot of jobs over the years. Some long term, some short. All sorts of disciplines and areas of expertise, or a complete lack thereof.

But whatever I do, I strive for excellence. I just wanna do it right, if only to prove that I can. I think most of us feel this way, which is why it can be so jarring to watch someone with a single job to do completely biff it somehow.

That’s the entire gist behind r/OneJob, where we collectively memorialize the job that was supposed to be done, and the thing that now stands in its place.

10. PlayBox

Meanwhile Nintendo doesn’t even have a seat at the table.

9. In memory

Whoa whoa spoilers, I haven’t even seen three through ten yet.

8. Reduce, reuse, recycle

The most vital step toward a more sustainable future is clear communication.

7. In case of emergency

I feel like this is the beginning of a Saw movie and it’s just Jigsaw taunting everybody.

6. The key

What if I don’t wanna be fri? You can’t tell me what to do.

5. Sly like a fox

He’s in disguise. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

4. New paint job

Can we like coordinate on our stencils or whatever?

3. You put the lime in the box, you nut

And shake it all up.

2. The Liren Kring

Scar! Brother! Save me!

1. Cheese on the side

Lactose intolerant people be like.

Here’s hoping they all found jobs they could do a little bit better.

Have you ever failed big at your one job?

People Admit the Reasons Why They’re Single

Being married is wonderful and all, but as my happily single friends are quick to point out, remaining single can have its merits too.

A lot of the time, singletons seem to get a bad rap, as society sits around waiting for them to follow the socially expected path of getting married, having children, the end.

Comedian Jimmy Fallon recently leaned into this trope of teasing single folks, when he tweeted:

Fallon started off the game, by tweeting about a friend of his who was single.

Frankly, I don’t see anything to make fun of. We should all be more like Kevin.

Some people did see a little humor in the question, sharing their little idiosyncrasies that they were fine with, but that might discourage a long-term relationship.

Like secret and not-so-secret obsessions:

Be they real people or simply characters:

Sometimes your foibles are things you can help, and sometimes not.

There was also the weighted blanket crowd, which… yeah. Waited blankets are amazing.

A number of people seemed to agree with this person’s food habits, so maybe he just needs to find a partner on Twitter.

And this one, for me, raised so many questions:

Are they single because they couldn’t find a partner who could tolerate the 3AM parties?

Or are they single because they don’t want anyone to be bothered by their 3AM parties?

The world may never know ?

Some people made jokes about online dating apps:

Even companies like Kraft got in on the joke:

Other users got all too real.

There was this person, who honestly just really loves their dogs:

Apparently it’s not uncommon for pets to come between partners:

Pretty typically, the cat lady got a few laughs.

Why is it acceptable to talk to your dog, but strange to talk to your cat?

And this person, who has political priorities, can’t be bothered:

But a number of the responses showed that young people today aren’t really buying it anymore.

It’s not funny or a flaw, it’s just a fact.

Knowing what will make you happy is a good thing.

Not having to share can also be a bonus.

Honestly, some people choose to be single and some people don’t, but for the most part you just are until you aren’t, whether you’re looking or trying too hard or not.

Did we leave out any good ones? Tell us in the comments.

People Share the Stark Realities of Living as a Person of Color

I’m not sure why the world is the way it is.

That’s not true. I kind of do.

It’s because dismantling systems of power and oppression is hard. It takes a lot of work and dedication, and most people are too wrung out from the daily grind to care about anything else.

Lucky for all of us, there are people working hard every day to make sure that someday people of color will no longer be treated like criminals because of their race.

It can’t come soon enough, as these 12 people make so painfully clear.

1. Insensitive comments abound

It’s so deeply ingrained that people don’t even realize they’re being rude sometimes.

I'm south east Asian. My white friend's mom thought we eat pizza with chopsticks.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Sometimes they do know it’s rude

They just don’t care. As though their comfort is more important than yours.

I'm a British born Pakistani and had arrived in the USA at the aiport. A white guy who was with his family called over security and told him to search me because i was 'brown and probably one of those bin ladens' 😔

Image credit: Whisper

3. You are constantly the victim of assumptions

It sounds like an exhausting way to live.

I'm Native American and I got pulled over leaving the rez to go into town. The cop searched my truck for drugs when they pulled me over for a leaky exhaust. I've always been clean.

Image credit: Whisper

4. Authority figures don’t give you the benefit of the doubt

Expectations mean they hear what they expect to hear, see what they expect to see.

I'm Mexican and my one and only time I was ever pulled over I started to stutter and the cop demanded that I speak in English. 😂

Image credit: Whisper

5. You’re impacted by arbitrary rules

And you know they were put in place as veiled attempts to legitimize discrimination against you.

When a store won't let people with backpacks in but let's other types of bags in (diaper bags, beach bags, totes, large purses and strollers). Reason? 'Security'. 😡

Image credit: Whisper

6. People are afraid of you without provocation

And they’re not very good at hiding it.

I'm mixed with black and Indian. Coming from work a lady saw my dreads and tattoos and ran to her car and locked her door in a panic trying not to look directly in my eyes. I laughed cause I live in the same luxury apartments she does.

Image credit: Whisper

7. People take liberties with your body

As though they have the right.

I'm black and I have long natural hair and in high school this girl was inspecting my head to see if my hair was real and she said, 'sorry, since you're black, I thought it was weave.'

Image credit: Whisper

8. You get accused of kidnapping

Which is even more ridiculous when you look at actual kidnapping statistics around non-custodial family members.

I'm a nanny and whenever I go out in public with the toddler I look after, sometimes I get followed around or accused of kidnapping because she's white and I'm black.

Image credit: Whisper

9. It’s not unusual to experience trauma at a young age

It’s heartbreaking, but it’s not unusual.

My Hispanic dad was once randomly forced to get on the ground and was searched by police at 7-11 because they they thought he was a suspect of a car jacking.

Image credit: Whisper

10. Children are the worst, except when they’re not

The worst part is when they grow up into cruel adults.

I'm half Lebanese and a kid at school called me a 'Muslim terrorist.' I'm a Christian.

Image credit: Whisper

11. Sometimes, it’s like you’re invisible

But not the times when you wish that you were.

When me and my boyfriend walk into restaurants together they always begin to serve him first and tell me they'll be right with me. Is it that hard to believe we're together? Female, black.

Image credit: Whisper

12. It’s not a uniquely American experience

That’s… not exactly both good and bad. More like both real and sad.

Was doing the tourist thing with my boyfriend in London and he got stopped and searched. They were literally stopping every young black male coming out of the train station.

Image credit: Whisper

It’s so important to see what life is like for someone different from yourself.

I’m glad these people shared their experiences, and that I could share them with you.

Have you had similar experiences? Share your story in the comments.
