Greg Zhelezny1. Every Disney child star grows up to be a loser

Whether it’s Amanda Bynes throwing a bong pipe out of a window  or Miley Cyrus naked swinging on a wrecking ball, all Disney child stars end up screwed up in one way or another. It started with Lindsay Lohan caught doing drugs and sleeping in a van, which then opened the way for Miley and Amanda’s weed addiction. I’m not sure if it’s the fame or incredible power they manage to feel over the millions of 9 year olds who adore them that make them  feel drunk with power and like they can do anything.

2. You can find anything on the internet

After spending some time on Reddit’s r/wtf and 4chan’s /b/, I’ve learned that you can find the sickest and most twisted things on the internet that make you want an undo button for life and hide in a dark corner far away from the evils on your screen This also means you can find a lot of diamonds in the rough on the internet, you just have to look in the right places away from all the weirdness in all the other parts of the internet.

3. People bad mouth each other too much on the internet

If you screw up in an online game or say something incorrect or unpopular, people on the internet will not hesitate to jump on you with cruel and unfair comments. Otherwise normal people turn into racist, homophobic, and overall awful people when behind a behind a keyboard, making prey of anyone who slips up. It’s hard to avoid these people because anyone can become a bully, so the best way is to just ignore them, because it gets boring for them to insult someone who doesn’t respond.

4. Horror movies aren’t actually based on true stories

It sounds dumb but when on occasion when I watch a horror movie, my mind does mental gymnastics to fool itself into thinking everything I just saw was 100% real. Thanks to some therapy and time on the internet I’ve been able to pull myself out of this foolish mindset and realize it was all just a clever way to spook me, and successfully at that.

5. People are obsessed with TV

From “Game of Thrones” to “Breaking Bad,” people were, and still  are obsessed with TV shows. I have never seen many of these shows, as most of the shows I watch are comedy shows such as “Family Guy” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” which don’t usually draw all that much media speculation or involve heated plot discussions that most popular shows now do. I can’t say it hasn’t peaked my interest though, and I might watch it now, even if I’m a little late to join the trend.
