People Born In The 60s & 70s Do Not Get Triggered By 11 Things That Bother Younger Generations Today

Published by Jenni Sidey

Each generation has its share of grievances that trigger them. Whether they’re observing the political positions or lifestyle choices of people who are older or younger than they are, no generation is immune to feeling frustrated or annoyed. At the same time, people born in the 60s and 70s do not get easily triggered by many of the things that bother younger generations today. Raised in a completely different era, baby boomers and Gen Xers naturally have a much different perspective on how things should and shouldn’t be than their younger millennial, Gen Z, and even Gen Alpha counterparts. Given that narcissism has been shown to decline with age, it’s possible these older folks are simply less concerned with themselves and therefore less easily bothered.

These Wallabee Lookalikes from ECCO Are So Comfortable, the Unc Accusations Don’t Bother Me

Published by Jenni Sidey

Have you ever copped something and just stood there in disbelief at how good it is? I had a full-on Wee-Bey-from-The Wire moment when I slipped my feet into a supple, buttery pair of borderline-orthopedic shoes from ECCO.Kollektive, a sub-line of the Danish label ECCO. I picked up these Clarks Wallabee-adjacent shoes, and they have been in my weekly rotation for nearly a year now. They were so good, I doubled back for the loafer version. My future 60-year-old self is already grateful. Ecco.Kollektive Joke Loafer Ecco.Kollektive Joke Lace Shoe Founded in 1963 in Bredebro, Denmark, ECCO has built its reputation on producing some of the softest leather in the game. But it wasn’t until 2022 that the brand launched ECCO.Kollektive (formerly At.Kollektive), a platform that teams up with designers like Peter Do, Kiko Kostadinov, Bianca Saunders, and New York design duo Eckhaus Latta to reinterpret pieces from the archive. This promptly sent me down a rabbit hole exploring the broader Grandpa-core movement happening in footwear. The Joke silhouette is simple and unfussy—the antithesis of …

Don’t bother with IF in Excel when you can use this function instead

Don’t bother with IF in Excel when you can use this function instead

Published by skeptic

Most of us never question the IF function. It works, it’s familiar, and there’s a formula for everything if you’re willing to nest enough of them together. But functioning and functioning well are two different things, and IF starts falling apart the moment your logic has more than two or three conditions. The formula bar becomes a wall of parentheses; a misplaced parenthesis breaks the whole thing, and debugging it is difficult. The SWITCH function handles the same logic in a fraction of the characters — and once you’ve used it, going back to nested IF formulas feels unnecessary. Related Use Excel’s TAKE and DROP to make brilliant self-updating lists You don’t have to do it manually. SWITCH is the function you should have been using It does the same job as nested IF, but without the chaos Screenshot by Yasir Mahmood SWITCH evaluates a single expression and matches it against a list of values, returning the result for the first match it finds. It’s one of those conditional functions that make my Excel sheets …

Tim Dowling: I could look out the window all day – so why bother having curtains? | Family

Published by Sam Flores

I’ve never needed to be convinced of the cognitive benefits of looking out the window. I would do it all day if I thought people couldn’t see me. I’m currently staring out of our front window, arms folded, at the large puddle running along the road’s edge outside our house. It normally appears after a sustained period of rain, and disappears after a day or two. But as a dedicated observer of things happening outside this window, I can testify that the puddle has now been there for three uninterrupted months. It’s a foot deep in the middle and too wide to jump across – more moat than puddle. I’ve come to suspect that rain has nothing to do with it: the puddle is being fed by an underground source. Today’s events seem to confirm my opinion: as I watch, a man in a hi-vis vest is placing cones around the edge of the puddle. “This is a big day for you, isn’t it?” my wife says. I don’t know how long she’s been standing …

Don’t bother with Spotify Lossless unless you do this first

Don’t bother with Spotify Lossless unless you do this first

Published by skeptic

Spotify Lossless finally arrived in September 2025. Though Spotify kept us waiting for lossless audio for eight years, the promise of much higher quality audio on our favorite streaming platform kept us going through the bad times, pressure to switch streaming services, and all of Spotify’s weird decisions. However, even though Spotify Lossless is now available worldwide, it’s unlikely you’re actually hearing anything different. Not because lossless is a gimmick, but because most listening setups physically can’t take advantage of it. If you’re using Bluetooth headphones, wireless speakers, or even certain “premium” wireless headsets, your audio is being compressed again before it reaches your ears. Which means you could be paying extra for a benefit your hardware simply cannot deliver. What “lossless” actually means It’s just really, really good audio quality Basically, when it comes to digital audio, you have two main file types: those that keep all of the audio data (lossless) and those that discard some audio data for the sake of file size (lossy). It’s similar to how a JPEG image compresses …

Women Who Don’t Bother With A Lot Of Makeup Usually Have These 11 Distinct Personality Traits

Women Who Don’t Bother With A Lot Of Makeup Usually Have These 11 Distinct Personality Traits

Published by Jenni Sidey

Like everyone, women often have unique preferences for self-expression and individual priorities. However, society often expects them to conform to universal, rigid standards that may not align with their authenticity or self-esteem. They’re expected to perform a certain way, embody femininity in a certain way, and dress themselves in ways that might be pleasing to others, but may not make them feel they are being true to themselves. While many women feel pressure to lean into hyper-feminine forms of expression, women who bother with a lot of makeup often have distinct personality traits that make doing so feel unnatural to them. They may feel that using lots of makeup will prevent them from being seen for who they really are, and they aren’t afraid to push back against what makes them uncomfortable.
