Serial killers are hunted by the finest detectives and law enforcement agencies in the world, and it’s only a matter of time until a tiny error or oversight leads to the capture.

Joe Biden is prominent in the news lately, and for good reason. The 78-year-old politician has made history as being the first US presidential candidate from the dementia community. But what do people really know about dementia? What could we expect from our first person of dementia at the desk in the Oval Office?

Left and right hate trolls and MLM marketers, disagree on everything else WIHT survey: There is also disagreement about what is worth feuding over online, and a surprising amount of people fight over flat earth.
It seems like there isn’t anything that the political left and right can agree on any more. But according to a survey done by WhoIsHostingThis, there is one thing they do agree on: trolls are the most annoying people on the internet. When asked to pick the five most annoying people online, a majority – roughly 53% – picked trolls. And with that, we can all march into the sunset singing Kumbaya. Or we could if it weren’t for the other 47% of the people who probably are the internet trolls – based on our non-scientific estimate that there just seem to be a lot of trolls on the internet.…

r/InstagramReality is the best subreddit for all the wrong reasons Looking like an IG model isn't easy, and many choose to cheat. And they really, really suck at it.
It’s not easy to look like a model in photos. There’s always something off about your face—your nose is too big, there’s blemishes on parts of your forehead you didn’t know existed. Are you frowning or do you just have a resting bitch face? That’s not a good look. Maybe you’re just not a model, like the 99% of the rest of humanity. But with the popularity of Instagram at an all time high, there’s a lot of pressure to look like the person you imagine yourself to be—or perhaps even someone you wish you looked like, but don’t. To that end, many narcissistic, self-obsessed people have taken to modifying…
