A lot can be learned about the relationship between two countries by looking at their geographical border.

Some of these borders look cute, quaint, and sometimes even beautiful. Some, on the other hand, show a surprisingly stark difference between two nations.

Look at these photos and you’ll see what we mean.

People afraid to vent to their friends are meeting new ones through `scream clubs’

Life can be incredibly stressful and overwhelm a person with anxiety, stress, and burnout. It could come in the form of an argument with your kids, an unforeseen bill, dealing with a bad boss, or anything else. You don’t want to burden your friends with constant moaning about your life’s troubles, but it can get to the point where you just want to scream. If that sounds like you, join the club. No, seriously, you can join a literal screaming club.

A new trend is emerging worldwide, from Austin to Chicago to London and beyond. Meet up with others who are also having a rough time and scream as loudly as you can. These are called “screaming clubs,” and they’re forming new chapters in various communities to meet weekly to monthly, so locals can give a loud, cathartic scream together in public. Even if the screaming itself doesn’t solve a person’s problems, it seems to be bringing people together to make new friends who are also having a tough time.

The boss talks to an upset employee at work

A manager demanded his employee leave at 4 p.m. on the dot and the fallout was glorious

In the world of workplace stories, tales of "malicious compliance" are a genre unto themselves. They’re the oddly satisfying accounts of employees following a manager’s ill-advised rule so perfectly that it completely breaks the system. One story that has resonated for years, recently resurfacing on Reddit, serves as a masterclass in this quiet form of protest—but with a surprisingly positive twist.

The story was shared by a Redditor, u/my-reddit-saga, about a job he held 15 years ago at a government agency. His primary role was maintaining a fleet of cars, a job that involved a mix of tasks with varying time commitments—from quick fixes and supply runs to thorough, 45-minute hand washes for each vehicle. The job came with flexible hours, a system that worked perfectly for the task-based nature of the work. On some days, he might finish a final car wash and stay 15 minutes late; on others, he’d wrap up early and head home.

People dedicated to 'simple living' share the 10 rules for a happy, stress-free life

It's easy to get caught up in the fast pace of life. We often look to outside things to make us happy. Many people use expensive toys or habits to make themselves feel better, but with a weird economy, outside solutions are available to fewer and fewer people today.

With less funds in the "fun box," it's essential to find ways to spend less and get more out of it. Learning how to embrace "simple living" and pursue a more stress-free lifestyle not only brings increased peace of mind but also makes for a happier life.

When a 70-year-old mom saw an aggressive man on the subway, her simple act left him in tears

It was a scene that causes everyone on a subway car to hold their breath. The air grows thick with tension, unspoken fear, and the desperate hope that nothing escalates. A man, standing well over six feet tall, was in a state of clear distress. His movements were erratic, his voice loud and aggressive as he cursed and shouted into the cramped space.

Other passengers reacted as anyone might: they recoiled, creating a wide, invisible barrier around him. They averted their eyes, clutching their bags a little tighter, waiting for the doors to open at the next stop. But as the silent fear rippled through the car, one woman saw something different. She didn't see a threat to be avoided; she saw a human being who was hurting.

Trucks, helicopters, camels, thousands turn up to support terminally ill child in Kansas City

Every so often, a community gathers itself and puts aside petty annoyances and arguments to celebrate the things that really matter. That’s what happened in Kansas City when the community found out that three-year-old Tucker Langford was sent home on hospice care.

Tiny Tucker was diagnosed with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB), a rare skin condition that makes even the most gentle touch painful. In fact, when he was born, he was missing skin on his feet, hands, lips, and chest. Not only is Tucker fighting DEB, but he was also diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, a terminal heart condition. After weeks of treatment, Tucker was sent home to enjoy the time he has left with his parents and family.

For three years she passed the same homeless man, then one question changed everything

Sometimes, our opportunity to help is right in front of our eyes; we just need to have the heart to see it. A woman named Ginger Sprouse recalled seeing a homeless man, Victor Hubbard, quite often, as reported by CBS News. For three years, she would find the man in the same spot on the streets on her way to work. At first, she wondered why he couldn’t get a job or try to change his life. She asked him a question out of curiosity, and it made all the difference in transforming his life. Sprouse noted how her approach to homeless people was always indifferent.

Construction crew look off into the distance

A car dealership crew humiliated a pizza guy over $7. The internet's revenge was brutal.

It remains one of the internet's most satisfying tales of instant karma, a story from 2015 that perfectly illustrates how a moment of cruelty can backfire spectacularly in the digital age. It began with a pizza delivery, a $7 dispute, and ended with a business's reputation in flames.

The incident, originally reported by CNN, involved Jarrid Tansey, a delivery driver for Palace Pizza, and the staff at F&R Auto Sales, a car dealership in Westport, Massachusetts. Tansey delivered a $42 order and was paid with $50. Assuming the extra money was a tip, he left. However, he soon received a call from the dealership demanding he drive back to return the $7 and change.

Michael J. Fox reveals the true meaning of 'Back to the Future' and why it's still important now

Since 1985, the Back to the Future movie series has entertained audiences with a mix of science fiction, comedy, nostalgia, and even old-school westerns. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first film, Michael J. Fox appeared on Good Morning America to discuss his book Future Boy, what he thinks makes time-travel movies so ironically timeless, and the series’ overall relatable message.

"It's about bullies," Fox said to GMA. "It's about standing up to bullies. We live in a really bullying culture right now. And I think there's something about that. There's something about seeing the little guy stick up to bullies that people love."
