General
Lady, Just Get Back in Your Car
I read this joke a couple of days ago on the internet. A man is driving his five-year-old to a friend's house. Suddenly, another car speeds in front and cuts them off. They almost have an accident. "Douchebag!" the father yells. A moment later, he realises the indiscretion, pulls over, and turns to face his son. "Your father just said a bad word," he says. "I was angry at that driver, but that was no excuse for what I said. It was wrong. But just because I said it, it doesn’t make it right, and I don’t ever want to hear you saying it. Is that clear?" His son looks at him and says, "Too late, Douchebag."

The Disappearance of Common Sense (As Told by Warning Labels)
There was a time when products trusted us to use them correctly. A ladder did not need to remind us not to stand on the very top rung. A candle did not feel compelled to clarify that fire, historically speaking, is hot. Shampoo did not warn us that it was not to be consumed as a breakfast smoothie.

Plain Pasta, Part 2
I met Kira at the entrance of the 12-story building where the Italian rented his apartment and went up to the sixth floor. The building itself was notable — one of the few high-rises in central Bishkek built from an individual design rather than a standard Soviet brutalist blueprint. For those of us raised in cramped five-story blocks and Khrushchev-era apartments for the proletariat, it was intriguing just to see the inside. “At least for that reason, the evening won’t be wasted,” I decided.

The Lie of Rich Corinthian Leather (And Other Things We Believed Because a Man With an Accent Said Them)

The Golden Truth
If you’ve been following my life, you know it’s a riveting saga of watching grass grow and organizing my sock drawer by thread count. Because my reality is so staggeringly uneventful, I tend to overthink the things most people ignore. While the rest of the world is worried about the economy or space travel, I sat down, stared at my phone, and asked the hard-hitting question: "Why are smileys yellow?"
