Why Netflix And Chill Is Stupid

"Netflix and chill": A euphemism invented by millennials meant to ask someone if they would like to engage in casual sex.

First off, this is not a criticism against casual sex or modern day hookup culture. Casual sex and hookup culture is awesome. It's the backbone of the University system and thus, the backbone of America. It's a testament to mankind turning an act meant to further the species into leisurely fun experienced by two consenting friends, acquaintances, or even strangers.

One might ask: Why would a spokesperson for informal fornication write an article titled "Netflix and Chill is stupid"?

Because the actual act of, "Netflix and chill", IS stupid. The term originated from horny dudes inviting possibly horny ladies over to their apartment. These two horny, consenting adults then pick out a movie on Netflix and sit in complete and utter silence for an hour and a half whilst sexual tension somehow builds. Then, when whatever movie the two consenting adults chose ends, they go to the dude's room and commence to do what they had been intending to do all along.

My question is, what's the point? Why waste an hour and a half watching a movie neither party really wants to watch? Nothing productive is coming out of that. The guy has probably seen it twenty times before and, between quoting his favorite lines, is wondering if the girl is actually "DTF". And the girl doesn't give two droppings about "Top Gun" or whatever easily re-watchable movie is playing. She's just sitting on the couch texting all her BFF's whether or not she should take the .0001% risk of having kids with this guy.

It's asinine. It's fatuous. It's stupid.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the year is 2015. Tinder exists. Desperate Yik Yak hookups happen. People copulate. Let's stop pretending it's a taboo. Let's stop hiding our carnal intentions behind a veil of cinematic enjoyment. Let's just shut up and do it.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
