Title says it all. I’m so annoyed that my FIL chalks it all up to “lazy millennials” and “stupid government printing money” and blah blah blah “socialism.”

But I’m also uneducated on what the factors are here. What’s actually causing such shortages in labor? Particularly in public sector jobs like healthcare and education? (Canadian here, for reference).

I'm terminal. Orphan, no family worth considering. Want to leave my home to a friend. Can I add my friend to the title now so there's no probate bullshit ? Do they have to know/be involved ahead of time? I want it to be a surprise. [Colorado, USA]

If we could change the name of American Football, what would it be?

As we know the rest of the planet appropriately calls “Soccer” Football. As a German who grew up in America, this was the football/soccer meme conversation with my friends. Assuming the NFL and many Americans won’t ever change the name of their sport, what if we collectively (the rest of the planet) came up with and used a new name for American Football? What would it be?

Edit: Keep the funny ones coming, but also looking for legit answers like if we started the sport today, what would we call it?

How do you smile in photos and not look like an uncomfortable weirdo?

I've never liked having my photo taken, not even as a child. I make sure I'm looking at the camera (something I got told off for not doing as a child) and try to relax and smile or think of something happy. Cheese, sausages etc don't seem to help at all. I watched videos about poses and how to smile. I've tried practicing my smile in the mirror, in fact did a lot of that as a teen. In the end I accepted that was just how I look in photos.

I'm now in my 30s and I still have the same 'trapped wind' (as my dad calls it) grin.

I thought I was ok with my questionable photo smile but recently my grandmother told me to take another photo with a cousin but this time to smile nicely. And all the old fears and worries came running back.

Anyone out there who's got over a dodgy smile have any advice?
