    What’s with this meme trend of sticking a “funny” phrase over a random celebrity’s picture? Does that get more eyeballs?

      These are Whispers, which is an app that lets you post anonymously but all posts must have a background photo (that I think you choose from the Whisper database), which is why there’s a ton of random memes with random photos behind them. Also, Dexter-related memes are currently hot, and that’s Dexter himself, so it’s not quite so random.

      EDIT: These may have come from Pinterest as well, I’ve seen a lot on there like that when looking them up

    Well, I think 2026 is going to be a good year for my career. I’m almost done with my thesis, so I expect to start 2026 by getting my bachelor. From there, I’ll see what happens, but at least it opens up a lot of oppertunities.

    Well a bunch assholes voted in a mentally stunted rapist that is hell bent on fucking the world’s economy because they felt richer four year before. Now there are people disappearing from the streets. There isn’t too much to be hopeful for.

      Nice!

      University years really are some of the best in life. Looking back, I appreciate these times a lot.

      Not to mention finally seeing your body to be how you like it to be! It’s exciting for everyone.

      Good luck on your journeys!

    I have not had a year that is, was, or was going to be “my year” by intent, circumstance, or result, in any way, shape, or form, ever.

    It just hasn’t happened to me.

    I’ve never expected it to happen, I’ve never tried to make it happen. 2026 will be no different than the hell we’ve been dealing with for the last 10+ years. In fact, it will most likely be worse than previous years.
