Waiters and waitresses rely heavily on tips to supplement their wages; it's just a fact of life. Unfortunately, that's the way the industry is, and we all know it needs to change. But until that happens, if you can afford to eat at a restaurant, you can probably afford to leave a tip for your wait staff, especially if they've done a good job. But some people take it upon themselves to determine whether or not their server needs a tip without really knowing their circumstances. One guy took to Reddit's Am I The A—hole, to ask whether or not he was in the wrong for not tipping his waitress friend who had recently won $20K in the lottery.

It is commonly known at this point that celebrities photoshop their bodies, not only for magazine covers but for insignificant Instagram posts. We really shouldn't trust anything we see these days on social media. It is so easy to blur over pimples, pinch in waistlines, and even crop heads onto different bodies.
What a lot of people don't know, however, is that celebrities can also edit their bodies on the videos they post. Yes, live-action body editing is a thing. There is basically an unlimited amount of ways to convince the public that you have a body that looks nothing like yours. If you don't make appearances in public as much, nobody would ever be able to prove you wrong.
If your trust issue senses are tingling, you're not alone.
Having a glow-up can take a lot of work. For some of us, we have to grow into our features. But It's definitely a flex to be able to look back at high school pictures and just know that you have come really far. You definitely don't want to peak in your teens. It's bad to compare ourselves to other people, but there are some universal steps we can all take to make ourselves appear more attractive. Like showering, dressing better, finally finding the foundation shade that matches both your face and neck.
On Reddit, people are sharing how they managed to become significantly more attractive, and it might surprise you how simple these steps are.

The world is divided into two types of people: those who cook and those who don't. Those who don't get takeout or buy microwave meals, and those who do, take pride in their work (mostly).

Discovering cooking hacks happens to be a passion of mine, and I'm always eager to find new ways to improve my recipes. People reveal their "weird, but life-changing" cooking hacks in this Reddit thread, uncovering some real gems.

Dating in 2020 isn't easy. Between the endless Tinder swipes and empty hookups, it's a wonder anyone finds love nowadays. But I refuse to believe that it's impossible and I firmly hold onto the idea that true romance is still achievable. But has love always been this hard to find? It would seem so... a magazine article titled '129 Ways to Get a Husband' was discovered in a 1958 edition of American magazine McCall's. These — quite frankly — sexist and offensive tips are hilarious to look through now and see how women were encouraged to find love back in the day. I've decided to go through one tip and a time and see whether or not it would actually work in 2020. Let's take a look at tip #9...

In 2012, the invention of Tinder changed the landscape of love, dating, and relationships as we know it. Gone are the days where flirting required real-life, face-to-face interaction — instead, welcome to the age of virtual romance, where your next hook up is only one swipe away. As a woman who uses dating apps, I know how easy it is to feel like a small disposable fish in an endlessly big pond of younger, better looking, and more heavily photoshopped fish. But I often wonder if courtship was really that much easier before online dating took over, or whether the struggle to find good-quality men has been one that women have faced since the dawn of time...?
Uh, did you know Olive Oil can go bad? Because I never even thought about that. Redditor, u/MomosOnSale, asked the online community, "Redditors who cook, what's the biggest 'no no' thing in cooking?"
And the comments are actually filled some really helpful cooking tips.
I also read a majority of these cooking tips with Disney's Ratatouille chef Colette's voice in mind. Try it, it's fun.
Anyways, I learned a little something from this and maybe you will, too!
Anyone else got some helpful cooking tips?
