They often say, We don’t appreciate the simple things in life. And yes, that’s true to a point. And every now and then, you’re reminded of that fact. I’ve been in a bad mood for the last 8 to 10 days. I couldn’t explain it, but chalked it up to the stress...

The Oxford English Dictionary has named the phrase rage bait as its word of the year. And if you’ve spent any time on social media over the last couple of years, you know what rage bait is all about. So much of the content sent your way, thanks to the alg...
