Freedom of speech and the negative principles it's used by

By: @raymondspeaks

To cite the freedom of speech laws today is basically like telling the world that you're going to say what you think regardless of how anyone feels about it. It's true. In the western world, we all know that we have freedom of speech, and we've had it for quite some time, but when someone goes out of their way to cite it, then you know it's going to be controversial. Personally, I think if you have to cite it, then keep your opinions to yourself because it's not going to be well received and you probably know that anyway.

Planking

By: @amarbir

The plank/planking is an exercise that involves the usage of core muscles ( i.e. the transverse abdominus, rectus abdominus,erector spinea, etc ) and it helps maintain strength and balance within the body by strengthening these muscles and improving your posture at the same time. This exercise has such a name because when you perform it, it looks like a wooden plank( well atleast the standard version does look like that from my perspective atleast. Lol).

Reality in Retrospect

By: @raj808

Stuck in the snow, the car’s wheels tear a brown scar on white, an exclamation mark on a blank page. “Where are we going to get a tow at this time of the day?” Sandie leans out of the window as I push up on the car boot. Rubber spins as slush sprays up my legs, freezing away the chance of any children in my future. “Not the right question, love! How the hell are we going to get anywhere where we can get a tow before we freeze to death! A car hasn't passed in the last hour, your phone is dead and my phone has no signal!”
