| “It is simple human to human kindness that keeps us sane.” |

| Americans explain tipping, political media, public transit and more. |
| Over on Reddit, Europeans asked Americans different questions about American life, covering every topic from tipping culture to favorite landmarks to football fascination (not to be confused with soccer, of course). |
| It’s clear from the candid conversation that there are both many wonderful, awe-inspiring things Americans take for granted, and things that, well…aren’t exactly superior, despite USA pride. |
| Still, it’s interesting to see what mundane aspects of living in the US, both good and bad, might be a source of fascination to someone living outside the country. |

| “I want to say I love you back but my brain glitches.” |
| Attachment style is something that seems to have gained a lot of popularity on social media, which can translate to real life interactions like dating. Everyone wants to have the “gold star” attachment style–secure attachment. Not everyone can have a secure attachment style, but that doesn’t mean they’ll never have one since this is not a fixed trait. |
| Shantel Smith, has a self proclaimed insecure attachment style, which can cause people to be a bit more guarded in their approach to interpersonal relationships. The social media creator recently made a video about what it’s like to have an insecure attachment style while integrating into a family that is very affectionate. |

| She’s asking the tough questions. |
| Language evolves as humanity evolves. We know this. History has proven it over and over again. |
| And yet, there’s still so much resistance when certain linguistic changes are tied to gender issues. The introduction of they/them pronouns comes to mind as an example. Many well-meaning, grammar nerds (myself included) bristled at the thought of incorporating this kind of language, even if they fully supported the idea behind the concept. |
