A Boring Tuesday Might Be the Life You Once Dreamed Of
There’s a strange thing that happens when you finally get some of the things you used to desperately want: you stop noticing them.
Remember when you wanted nothing more than a stable job? A place of your own? Someone who loved you? Enough money in your bank account that buying groceries didn’t require a small financial strategy session?
Maybe you have some of those things now. And yet, somehow, they’ve become the boring parts of your life.

The Daily Quiz
“I was just trying to make my best friend laugh at his wedding. How did everything go so wrong”
My best friend and I have always had a friendship built around pranks. It’s how we bonded, and we’ve spent years trying to one up each other.
One time, he invited me to a party and told me it was a costume party. I showed up dressed in a costume, only to discover everyone else was wearing normal clothes. I was embarrassed, but I laughed it off. That’s just the kind of friendship we’ve always had.
Life Is a Problem Machine, So Stop Expecting It Not to Be
Most of us walk around with this unspoken assumption that eventually, life is going to settle down.
Once we pay off the debt, get the promotion, find the right relationship, lose the weight, or finally get our shit together, things will be easier. We’ll reach some magical point where the problems stop coming and we can finally relax.
Except that point doesn’t exist.

Red Baron Employee Goes Viral After Prankster Pushes Him to His Breaking Point
A Red Baron pizza employee in Michigan has become an unlikely internet sensation after a prank video captured his frustrated response to a stranger interrupting his workday.
The employee, identified as Walt, was stocking frozen pizzas at a grocery store when a social media content creator approached him and asked for the time. The prankster then played a fake Apple Pay sound, pretending to have taken $10 from Walt’s phone.
Walt didn’t find the joke particularly amusing.
