What’s The Deal With Fighting in Hockey?
In hockey, fighting isn’t seen as a way to injure someone, like it would be in “real life”. There is a code of sportsmanship in hockey that goes beyond the rules of the game.
When that code is broken, players will square off against the offender in defense of themselves or a teammate.
“How to accept the fact that I’ll never have a relationship?”
I’m in my 30s and still have no experience with women. I’ve never had a relationship, never had sex, and I’ve never been able to attract a woman.
A few years ago, this started causing a real crisis for me. I asked for help from anyone who would listen and tried hard to follow the advice I was given. I started going to the gym, taking walks, adopted a dog, worked on my career, improved my grooming and style, and even talked to psychiatrists and psychologists.
Why Does Trauma Get Passed Down Through Generations?
One of the strangest things about trauma is that it often affects people who never experienced the original event.
A grandfather survives a war and rarely talks about it. Decades later, his children grow up in a household defined by anxiety, emotional distance, or hypervigilance. Those children become parents themselves and unknowingly pass many of the same fears and coping mechanisms to their own kids.

What It’s Like to Remember Almost Everything
For most of my life, I assumed everyone experienced memory the way I did.
When teachers gave us tests in elementary school, I genuinely didn’t understand the point. Why not just remember the textbook? Why not pull up the page in your head and read the answer?
I wasn’t trying to be smart. I thought that was how memory worked.
What Was Humanity’s Greatest Achievement?
When people think about humanity’s greatest achievement, they often point to the Moon landing, the Internet, modern medicine, or the construction of the pyramids. These accomplishments are undeniably impressive. Yet all of them depended on a far older breakthrough that transformed the human story more than any other: agriculture.
“My boyfriend reacts terribly to arguments”
My boyfriend and I have very different styles of arguing. I had a pretty traumatic childhood. My dad died, my mom and I don’t have much of a relationship, and I grew up around explosive fights where people said horrible things to each other and then acted like nothing happened.
My boyfriend, on the other hand, hasn’t had much conflict in his life. He’s also quite a bit younger than I am.
