A Good Read
Girls don’t like assholes. They like strong, challenging men with
exciting lives. You don’t have to be a jerk to have all those attractive
qualities – great news if you’re like me and enjoy being nice to
people.
Yes, a very small minority of women confuses cruelty with strength. They’ll always be attracted to men who mistreat them – but you don’t want those girls anyway.
The ones you do want will appreciate your niceness and love you for it. Find them, attract them with your awesomeness and don’t be an asshole!

This Is Why People In Southern California Say 'The' In Front Of Freeway Names
People insist on adding the definite article “the” in front of major freeways. Turns out, it’s not just some baseless regional slang, there’s a decent amount of history behind it.
Southern California’s affinity for “the + numerical freeway name” (“the 405,” “the 110,” and “the 5”) starts way back with the fact that it was an early adapter of a freeway system, according to this 2015 story on KCET. Today, we know Los Angeles as a haven of driving and car culture—because it has been exactly that for the past few decades.
Much
of Los Angeles city planning in the 1920s and 1930s centered around the
population’s love of cars and driving—and the traffic that resulted in
it. Traffic choking the boulevards. Traffic choking the streets. There
needed to be a solution for the city that devoted so much of its
transportation solutions to personal vehicles.
