We’ve reached the point where just about everything you’ve ever done in bed now has an official name. The latest addition to the ever-expanding sex dictionary? “Shallowing”— a subtle move that plenty of people were already doing, but probably didn’t know they were “doing it” in any codified way.

Many stoners feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to homemade vs. store-bought edibles. If you asked me five years ago, I would’ve laughed my ass out of the dispensary and started whipping up some THC-dosed oatmeal raisin cookies (they’re better than chocolate chip and I’ll fight you over it). But these days, store-bought edibles are potent.

Often times, I feel like VTubers are sleeping on the hidden power of VRChat. I mean, yes, plenty of popular Twitch streamers are avid VRChat users.

The platform has become incredibly advanced, featuring a wide assortment of gorgeous avatars to behold as well as breathtaking worlds to explore.

Everyone either had Skullcandy headphones or had a friend with Skullcandy headphones. They were everywhere, and while they didn’t exactly go away, they seem to have lost a bit of their market dominance ever since Apple, Google, JLabs, Bose, Sony, and Beats all solidified their strangleholds on the crowded headphones market. Now Skullcandy has brought back one of its oldest product nameplates, the Aviators, as a premium-priced pair of over-the-ear headphones with active noise cancellation.
