Middle-Aged Men Don’t Buy Sports Cars Because of a Mid-Life Crisis

It’s easy to assume that the 40-something guy driving a flashy sports car is overcompensating for his receding hairline or trying to recapture his youth. But the truth is, many middle-aged men are simply in a financial position to finally afford the car they’ve always dreamed of. For many, it’s not about showing off or feeling young again—it’s about fulfilling a lifelong passion.

"Y’all" Is the Perfect Word and Should Be Adopted Everywhere

This Southern staple may seem out of place in other parts of the world, but it’s a linguistic gem. "Y’all" is friendly, inclusive, and rolls off the tongue easily. Whether you’re addressing a group at work or just chatting with friends, it’s a versatile word that should be embraced far beyond the Southern U.S.

Eating Dessert First at a Restaurant Should Be the Norm

Why wait for the end of the meal to enjoy the best part? Ordering dessert first boosts your dopamine levels, making the rest of the meal even more enjoyable. Plus, who says dessert should be saved for last? Life is short—eat the cheesecake first.

Entry-Level Jobs Shouldn’t Require 3-5 Years of Experience

The very definition of an entry-level job implies no prior experience is needed. Yet, many companies demand years of experience for these positions, making it nearly impossible for recent graduates to start their careers. It’s time to rethink what "entry-level" really means and give young professionals a fair chance.

News Should Be a Dry Recitation of Facts, Not an Emotional Rollercoaster

In an age where news often feels more like entertainment, finding an outlet that simply presents the facts without spin is increasingly difficult. News should inform, not manipulate emotions. Let the audience decide how they feel about the information.

Most People Wouldn’t Pay Attention Even if Schools Taught Life Skills

There’s a common complaint that schools don’t teach practical life skills like taxes or basic home repairs. But let’s be honest—most students wouldn’t pay attention even if these classes were offered. Remember how many of us zoned out in geometry? The issue isn’t just what’s being taught; it’s also about whether students are willing to learn.

If Stealthing Is Rape, So Is Lying About Birth Control

Stealthing, or the non-consensual removal of a condom during sex, is widely recognized as a form of sexual assault. But shouldn’t the same standard apply when someone lies about being on birth control? It’s a violation of trust with potentially life-altering consequences, and it deserves similar legal scrutiny.

You Don’t Need to Love Your Career—You Just Need to Tolerate It

The idea that you should find fulfillment in your career is lovely, but not always realistic. For many, a job is simply a means to an end—a way to finance the things they truly love. It’s okay to view work as just that: work. Find your joy outside of the office.

Healthcare Workers Don’t Need Applause for Doing Their Jobs

During the pandemic, clapping for healthcare workers became a common gesture of appreciation. But for many in the field, it felt unnecessary and even cringy. Healthcare professionals signed up for this challenging work and, while appreciation is nice, they don’t need to be glorified for doing their jobs.

Manual Wheelchairs Should Be Mandatory for Those with Weight-Related Mobility Issues

It’s a tough opinion, but one that many share: If you require a wheelchair due to obesity, a manual chair should be mandatory. The idea is to encourage more physical activity and accountability for one’s health. However, this opinion opens a Pandora’s box of ethical and practical concerns.
