And only a few pages online do a good job of making people truly laugh. "The Recovering Problem Child" Instagram page is one of them, having already attracted over 626k followers. Are you looking for some time to waste and have a good belly laugh? Then these memes about everything and anything are just right for you!

The creator of "The Recovering Problem Child" Instagram page is Sam Grannis (although, whether that's his real name, we'll probably never know). We talked to Sam previously when we covered his meme page last time. He told us more about what it takes to run a successful meme page on Instagram and how the page came to be.
Essentially, it all started when Sam would scroll other meme pages and think: "I could do that." In fact, some of his friends would tell him that he was the best meme poster in his friend circle on Facebook. After seeing some of the meme pages he was following on IG making money, he decided to give it a try.

Been through a similar situation a couple of years ago. "Remote/ home-based" position. I passed all the 3 interviews. I mentioned several times that I was interested only if the position was remote, and each time they confirmed that yes, it was remote. Just to find out, in the last interview, that it was actually "temporarily remote", and that they were aiming to ask all employees to return to the office once all covid restrictions were over. I thanked them and walked out. Then I received an email asking me to offer feedback on the recruitment process. I call out their lack of honesty and ended with "Do better next time."

I interviewed for one listed as full time, but turned put to be part time contract because they didn’t want to provide health insurance. They recommended I keep my existing full time job, and work for them 20-30 hours a week on top of that. Also, I wasn’t allowed to talk to their other contracted worker who did the same job because “don’t people in your field not get along?” Uh, yeah. I noped put of that one.
"I have a knack for identifying what people will find funny/relate to, on top of that I also go out of my way to post content that hasn't been shared by 100 other accounts before I post it. So my followers know they're gonna get hot new content on my page," Sam told us last year.
A good meme, according to Sam, is all about two main components: a good visual and funny captions. If you have both of these elements, your meme will likely be dynamite, according to Sam.

I'm an obsessive planner, I usually have back up plans for when plans go wrong. It is slightly exhausting but I can't help it or do anything about it. I pre-plan and pre-book everything, I mentally store google maps and google street for everywhere we go, I've told people in a phone call where they are and where to go visualising their explanation of how they got there. Get me up to speed and I can organise anything, this however is a gigantic flaw, trust is very difficult for me, it protects me but also isolates me, I take on the failures of anyone I put my trust in and end up carrying far more than I should or sometimes can.

"The image/video is the most important component of a meme," he explained back then. "You can have an average caption but if the content you're using is really good, it will carry the meme and still be really funny. If you're able to write a caption that hasn't been overused and is still relatable/funny and the image/video you're using is great in itself, that's the recipe for a viral meme.”

Nikki Gross 10 months ago (edited)
The amount of kids "living" at my house, sleeping outside was a lot more quite. Between Mom's actual kids and all of our friends that she took in, hiding in the bathroom wasn't an option. We had those plastic, fold out lawn chairs my sisters loved to sunbathe on. In the summer at night it stayed really warm. We could lay outside all night and it was fine, the backdoor stayed unlocked, we could come inside when we wanted. The ONLY rule was we were NOT allowed to leave the backyard. Losing night time privileges for a week, was a big deal in the summer. I ALWAYS knew that growing up I was different from a lot of kids my age. Most other kid's Grandparents were the same age as my Mom. Throw in 13 kids, widowed with 6 kids at home from 6/7 (me) to 18 years old (my Sister) in 1984. Mom tried to protect us, but we ALL still heard "Comments" ignorant, judgemental, douchebags, would say about our Mom and family. I'm glad that people's opinions have come a REALLY long way since then, but it still sucked hearing that s**t growing up.

My father treatened the same with my brother and I. He was a mad man, so we knew we were doomed, since kids at 4 and 6 dont randomly learn to organize themself in a vakuum, or in a filthy messy house like the one that we lived in. We came as far as having putt all our toys in trashbags, standing in the hallways, my brother (6) crying and pleeding, and me racking my brain around the unfairness. So I got a bit f**k all about it, thinking my toys where all that kept me warm at night and entertained at day, when he was out doing his stuff.I could never stand my brother crying, it made me desparate to help him. So I reached up, opened my fathers storage room next to my bedroom. And just looked at him. It was so full in there that stuff started to fall out. Then I asked if we should take his stuff also. He just stared at me. Then he closed the door, told us we had learned our lesson, that we should be better organized from now on, and left the house until evening. Dont mess with my brother.

The more fully correct answer is that the rate at which prices are rising is slowing, but the rate at which your salary is increasing is increasing at an even slower rate. If prices go up by 20%, but your salary also goes up 20%, you're just as well off as before. But if prices then go up only 5% (inflation went down), and you're getting paid the same, you have less spending power.

For the record, for an economy to grow there needs to be some inflation and unemployment. 2% to 2.5% inflation is considered healthy and 4% unemployment is also acceptable cause you need to be able to hire people. So glad I spent money on university to learn that... So useful before today.

If there's one thing a meme definitely needs to be, it's funny. That's the main criterion for most people. What researchers find is that folks are getting fed up with political meme content.

It's interesting to look up statistics on identical twins, such as how many have a twin with a different handedness. Certain traits are triggered by epigenetic factors that go beyond the basic genome.

First of all, identical twins do not think the same. They don’t share a brain. They have different stimuli and response. So the idiot below is completely wrong. Secondly, the overall rate of homosexuality is highest in identical twins, with one identifying as very/exclusively straight & the other as very/exclusively gay. The Kinsey Scale has shown that in either fraternal or identical male twins, one twin is a 1 or 2 while the other is a 6. This is the only comparison with that wide of difference, way more than studies on siblings or even society at large.

Every week there'd be a special guest for the theater - violinist, pianist, magician, comedian, etc. One week I really remember was when a) everyone at the piano bar encouraged a shy young woman with a gorgeous voice to sing in the talent contest, and b) she also had a stage dad in that week's artist, violinist Bobby Riddell. She returned to the piano bar, elated that she'd actually sung in front of an audience. We all celebrated with her and the highlight was Bobby and I performing The Devil Went Down to Georgia, harmonies and everything. And yes, we used the B word!😁

It’s been a few years since Johnny collected that fiddle of gold. Initially it was a useful instrument, he travelled with his golden fiddle and told folk about how he outplayed the devil himself, it kept him in dungarees and bourbon for a long time, sadly he was involved in a serious car accident and the other driver was uninsured, Johnny had some serious medical bills and no way to finance them, the hospital gave him a bet he had to turn down, his injuries stopped him from playing that golden fiddle and he wouldn’t give the hospital his soul. The hospital collected the golden fiddle, Johnny recovered and a few years later the devil was visiting his friend, the owner of the hospital, he spotted the fiddle on the wall, there was no way he could steal it was there? He decided to go for broke, he stole the fiddle back and for good measure stole the soul of the hospital owner, he didn’t need it, he was already heading to hell.

I always figured it was about how talent and skill can never be outshone by money. Like how BB King or Hendrix could wail out a tune on the worst instruments while others can buy a $30,000 guitar and sound like c**p. It was based on a poem called The Mountain Whippoorwill where some rival Hill-billys have a competition.

When Billy Corgan was asked how he got such a unique sound to the guitar on the Gish and Siamese Dream albums he replied that he bought a really cheap guitar because it looked cool. The pickups were so bad that he got feedback whenever he took his fingers off the strings. He utilized the "effect" and produced 2 iconic albums with it

this is how it is at my school. we all have acquaintances that we talk to in class, but only in that class. if we see each other in the halls, we pretend not to know each other. you can have the best time with those people, then next year you dont have any classes with em. you might say hi in the halls every now and then, but you pretty much just ignore them, and even so, you still remember the good times and you wish they never ended. high school is weird

At least he knew to warn her. It's her own fault for not listening. When me and my husband first started dating he arranged a a surprise date and I asked what I should wear, he said just dress casual so I'm expecting a picnic or something so I wore jeans. Nope, he took me to one of the fanciest restaurants in town which had a dress code and then the ballet. The hostess at the restaurant had to seat us outside (in December) due to me not being in dress code. I was so embarrassed.

Depends where you live. If you live on an island and own a small one bedroom boat you can live like this and be fairly poor.
ॐBoyGanesh 10 months ago (edited)
I live on an island in one of its poorest areas as the lots are for homesteads for the native peoples. We’re also on rain catchment, solar/wind turbines, leech fields and have no wired internet. Just landline wires for phone since we also don’t have cell towers nearby. Many people here do all of this with basic options. I recognize I’m blessed to afford solar, a rain catchment roof, personal wind turbine, below ground catchment tank, etc. I bought the property for $20k in 1994. Spent 4 years building my reclaimed materials & shipping container home. Again, blessed I had the financial resources to build my ideal dream home this way. But I pay no household bills other than landline phone, mobiles and satellite internet. Most of my neighbors don’t as the saying here goes “we stay broke.” The average household income here is $27k/yr. So, even tho I’m not the shining example of the above, it is absolutely possible.

It could be due to such things as a strong tailwind, favorable routing during the flight, or an unusually short taxi to the runway. Also, don't forget the airlines have been increasing and padding the scheduled flight times to create the illusion of having better on-time performance.
