40 percent of Americans use dating apps, and 20 percent of current, lasting relationships started with an online encounter. In the college dating scene, dating apps are of ever-increasing importance, and in the world of Tinder clones some apps struggle to stand out among the rest.

In the age of Trump, the Republican party and those associated with it are completely unrecognizable. John McCain has become a liberal hero, the bumbling George W. Bush is being presented as a source of sage wisdom and, most significantly, the objectivist Paul Ryan is pushing bills that will end up drastically increasing the size of the national debt.

Elon Musk did the incredible and tossed a car up into space. Some people view it as silly, but I love the stunt. The talk going on right now about space and the future of space exploration has definitely been reinvigorated by this move, and I could not be happier. Following the trip of Falcon Heavy, the rocket that carried the car up to space, Musk came out and said, “We want a new space race. Space races are exciting."

If you’ve followed the news at all the past 18 months, you’ve probably seen coverage of the chaos at University of California Berkeley. Once a bastion of free speech, UC Berkeley has become a house divided over the issue of censorship. The school has been at the center of controversy numerous times for challenging — often times in the form of violent protests — notable political commentators like Ben Shapiro and far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. This has caused the school to become a lightning rod for right-wing criticism.

South Carolina has one of the lowest cigarette taxes in the U.S. At 57 cents a pack, cigarettes are extraordinarily cheap and there is little economic reason to quit. While this may be good for convenience store owners and the tobacco industry, it does little to encourage healthy behavior among the nearly 20 percent of South Carolinians still smoking. South Carolina would stand to gain significantly in health outcomes at little economic cost by embracing higher cigarette taxes.

If you live or lived in Women's Quad, you may have called Sims College home. If not, you may have been there on business with the Student Success Center's satellite office, or perhaps the Central Campus Housing Office. Maybe, like me, you've never been inside the building at all.

The University of South Carolina would like you to know that it won’t tolerate racist posters on the walls of its buildings. The school said as much in a statement on the matter, citing the university’s “inclusivity and respect for all.”

Just in time for the most romantic month of the year, rumors have surfaced alleging that former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley is currently having an affair with Donald Trump. The main perpetrator behind the rumor is "Fire and Fury" author Michael Wolff, whose recent interview circuit has led him to hint at a current affair with a woman specifically mentioned in the book.

The average yearly salary for a social worker in Columbia is $51,606 as of Jan. 2. This falls below the median salary for South Carolina graduates with four-year degrees. The role of a social worker is one who helps others with a variety of problems such as abuse, poverty, mental health issues and learning and physical disabilities, to name a few. Many of us can guess the amount of emotional toll that a job like this would take on a person.

Two weeks ago, the Doomsday Clock inched forward another 30 seconds. We now sit a mere two minutes from midnight. And it is exactly as melodramatic as it sounds.

When we take our first steps into our kindergarten classroom, an invisible clock starts ticking.

When it comes to guns per capita, gun homicides, gun suicides and mass shootings, America outdoes every high-income country in the world multiple times over. We own the most guns and shoot the most people. And, as anyone who reads the news can attest, we fight about gun control often and at length. We’re familiar with Republicans and Democrats duking it out on the issue, despite having adopted their relative positions without any real mooring in their party ideology. With that in mind, the opinion section has decided to host a productive discussion on gun control that attempts to come to a reasonable, achievable conclusion rather than merely partisan bickering. Linden Atelsek, who feels negatively about the presence of guns in our society, and Dan Nelson, who feels positively about it, critically examined their own views and then discussed them together to create a resolution they could both agree to.

The political podcast — it’s a format you know well. It most commonly features a business-casual man at a desk in front of a green screen loudly monologuing into a large condenser microphone. Often the monologue will retread ideologically familiar territory like the degradation of traditional family values or the federal government’s perversion of the Constitution. Without even mentioning names, this description has probably brought someone to mind.

We’ve all been there: During our first semester on campus, the pressure to find a cool internship or research program overwhelms us, but we don't know where on earth to begin. Or maybe your first semester struggle was adjusting to not living with family anymore, not knowing any good restaurants or feeling lost trying to keep up with schoolwork.

Vegans have a bad reputation, earned or not, of being a bit abrasive. They get grouped together with racist uncles and door-to-door Mormon missionaries — people you just don’t want to let get started.

You know, I am actually not surprised that the need to explain to college students the importance of abstaining from eating Tide laundry detergent pods has arisen. I guess some people think it is funny to eat Tide Pods. The recent spike in cases reported by the American Association of Poison Control Center certainly suggests as much.

In the Obama years, Republicans were dead set on blocking every piece of Democratic legislation. While they controlled only a minority in Congress, they made generous use of the filibuster. Most infamously, Ted Cruz attempted to block the Affordable Care Act with a 21-hour speech that included a reading of "Green Eggs and Ham."

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” These words fall on deaf ears in China. The People’s Republic of China officially banned hip-hop and actors with tattoos from all media outlets, stating that it only provides its people with content that lacks “morality.” In reality, the authoritarian government simply disagrees with the messages from hip-hop and is trying to limit speech even more in the country. This most recent violation of the human right to freedom of speech only goes to show the pressing matter that is China’s control over its people.

The government has reopened for now, so until Feb. 8 Americans can breathe a sigh of relief. Not to rain on the parade, but the fact still remains that Congress has not created a long-term budget and that the major issues that caused this shutdown were not truly addressed. The bill to end the shutdown first passed the Senate when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agreed to hold talks on immigration.
