Russian Arctic Explorer Serenades Music-Loving Walruses With Accordion Concert


Who are we to draw assumptions about whether or not walruses thoroughly enjoy music or not? Because clearly, by the looks of this video, walruses absolutely love their tunes.

Most Common Mistakes People Make In Relationships


Dating can be an equally rewarding and wildly disorienting experience. With the wealth of dating apps available at your disposal, and all the silly nonsense that such apps can drum up, it can be just a bit intimidating when you're trying to figure out where to even start. And then, when you eventually muster up the courage to forge your handy dating profile, and begin swiping away on fellow human beings that suit your fancy, you realize just how hard it is to strike up a meaningful connection in a sea of people that might just be using the app for fun, and nothing more. Suffice to say, it can be a discouraging and draining process. You're absolutely not alone if you're prone to installing and then deleting the app, and then installing it again. A strange cycle for sure, but one that many folks can get caught up in. I mean, who really wants to deal with a relentless wave of shamelessly cheesy pickup lines all the time? Everyone has their breaking point.

Maybe you actually ended up deleting those dating apps and meeting someone out in this crazy world that you genuinely enjoy being around. Such a life development can occur when you least expect it, but when it does, it falls on all of us to handle the situation with as much mindfulness as we can put together. It'd be nice if navigating the whole realm of dating came with some kind of instruction manual, but we're not so lucky. Thus, many of us can fall into relationships that never realize their full potential. Like there's always some mysterious piece missing to complete the puzzle and tie the whole dynamic together.

The last thing you want to find yourself dealing with is an emotionally tumultuous, toxic relationship that only ends up bringing out the worst in you and your partner. Love is a crazy thing in that regard. Loving someone can manage to effortlessly amplify all of your emotions in such a way that you end up being dragged along by them, and make a mess along the way. It's okay though. We've got some awesome human beings on this planet that are dedicated to sharing the hard earned wisdom that they've picked up on their own journeys. In this case, we're talking about an AskReddit thread that has people describing the most common mistakes that folks make during relationships.

If anything a thread like this can serve as a helpful instruction manual on what not to do if you want to live a more peaceful, even happier life. Some examples from the thread are things like the mistake that folks make in terms of not actively listening to one another, taking each other for granted, or avoiding glaring problems that are ruining the relationship. That last one can impact a lot of folks. When you're head over heels for someone, blinded by the rose-colored glasses, it's dangerously easy to shrug off the very issues that need immediate addressing. Anyways, all rambling aside, some folks might find helpful stuff in here to help smooth out the wrinkles in their relationships.

It has made all the difference in the world and 27 years of marriage have been mostly happy. Also, comparisons. Never say "Well my last SO did this" or " My family always d

Obnoxious Humble Brags From Righteous Folks


Humble brags are the bane of our collective existence. Nothing quite grinds one's gears like having to bear witness to someone proclaiming from their high horse that they have committed an act of profound, soul-stirring beauty. It's like, we get it...you're a good person. Sometimes, the best way to spread that charitable kindness is to do so from a place of humbleness.
