Accountability in Life

John Kuvinka — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 04:00:42 +0000

Is it just me, or does it seem like people’s sense of accountability is fleeting these days? This probably sounds like an odd topic, but it’s something I’ve been pondering. Accountability is one of those things your boss probably tells you about. There’s probably a motivational poster regarding it in your office somewhere too. I’m not just talking about accountability from a work standpoint, but […]

I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’m sick of this click bait nonsense. It’s hard to traverse the internets these days without finding click bait links everywhere. Whether it’s some opinion piece just trying to get likes or a local news story, it’s hard to avoid. “The World Is Coming to an End! Click Here to Find out When!” “These 10 Household Products Will […]

The upcoming election faces many of us with the task of choosing the lesser of two evils. Despite the fact that people really don’t like them personally, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the presidential nominees. Whether you like it or not, one of them is going to win. When election day comes, is it best to try and pick the winner? A lot of […]

Viral America: Where Everything’s a Meme

John Kuvinka — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 14:05:22 +0000

Is it me, or has America as a whole gone viral? When something new and different reaches the public anymore there seem to be no moderate responses. These topics are met with total hatred or rabid obsession. Either way, social media erupts into a frenzy. Donald Trump and Pokémon GO are two examples that come to mind. Despite not being drooled over by the same groups of people, the […]

Changing Political Parties – Why Now?

John Kuvinka — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 10:00:28 +0000

It seems like a lot of people are changing their political affiliations lately. Either they’re changing their party to vote in a different primary, or they’re just calling themselves something different. Either way, it leaves us questioning. What’s the cause for so much change? I’ve personally known people who have been liberal for many years yet now support Trump. On the other hand, people have been […]

Politics: Why I Hate It

John Kuvinka — Fri, 27 May 2016 22:45:45 +0000

Politics is probably the primary topic that I write about, and if not it at least finds its way into most of my writing. I’ve been politically minded since I was in my early teenage years. Whether I was right or wrong about certain things at the time isn’t really the point. It’s important for people to philosophize about how the world should work. Politics involves […]

Dumb to Be Smart

John Kuvinka — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 14:00:16 +0000

Anymore doesn’t it seem like it’s almost dumb to be smart in the public’s eye? Intellectualism isn’t as revered as it once was and in the realms of entertainment and even politics it seems like it’s cool to be glib (and just flat-out dumb in some cases). So who’s to blame? What’s the scope of this overwhelmingly stupid public persona we’re developing as a nation? Shouldn’t we want […]

The American IQ

John Kuvinka — Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:03:45 +0000

It’s another one of those seemingly cynical ideas that have become increasingly discussed these days – the idea that Americans are “getting dumber”. We hear it from family members, coworkers; see it in movies, on TV. Some people look at the notion like a simple punchline or topic for a comedy movie, and others take it a little more seriously. But when it comes down […]
