Applicants probably spend more time skimming job openings than Managers spend skimming through CVs (kopnij.in)

The lack of "real world complaints" and "anger" in popular music genres helps keep the masses docile (kopnij.in) en

A lot of societies problems would be solved if they taught about forming healthy relationships in school. (kopnij.in)

Right now there is a loneliness epidemic throughout the world. More and more people aren’t entering relationships.
