Standardowym elementem ludzkiej kultury od tysiącleci jest narzekanie starszego pokolenia na młodsze. Narzekał Arystoteles w IV w. p.n.e., narzekał Horacy w okolicach 20 r. p.n.e., narzekali niezliczeni starcy przez tysiąclecia.

Even if they start a group where the men will engage with sex with their own friends, like much of what has been alleged to be happening already in places...

It does me good to see one of those hateful anti-woke organizations falling apart, but it’s also dismaying to see how easily radical conservative groups can suck money out of the pockets of the obscenely rich. I guess if you’re extremely wealthy you can easily throw a million dollars here, a half million there, as long as...

Today we’ll go over how to handle it when someone insults you....

If you love Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, that may sound like great news. But, even as a big fan of those games, I can’t help feeling like there’s a bit of a void in gaming created by the more traditional Zelda’s absence. Tears of the Kingdom makes some changes to address that, like incorporating dungeons...
