Has the Internet Changed How Women Sound?
Early prepubescence teaches you the unacceptability of
smelling like yourself in public. It’s an unsolvable problem

Fast food is increasingly looking like a luxury 🤯
This shift came because of what Nintendo called its “blue ocean” strategy. The idea was that the increasing technological complexity of games was actually making them less appealing to many consumers. We’d come a long way from the simplicity of making Mario run and jump in the original Super Mario Bros . Just looking at a GameCube controller could ... See more

WHAT IS A FLIP
A flip is a sort of a CAPTCHA that helps to determine whether a user is human. In contrast to a CAPTCHA, which stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" and is usually generated by an automated service, a flip should be created by a human.
