Why does my page breaks when I resize to a smaller screen?

Every time I shrink my screen on my desktop, there is this cut off on my layout on the right side of the screen. I haven't used media queries yet, but this still doesn't look normal, is there something I am overlooking? https://codepen.io/classycal/pen/povWxJy

The 28rem padding applied to the left and right sides in the ".main-content" CSS rule mean that when the window width is below about 898 pixels, that element will stop being responsive to the size and allow the right side to be cut off by the window.

That was definitely the issue, thank you so much!
