Three friggin losses? Yuck.

I wonder how much ego plays into this. Paraphrasing Bill Murray, you have about two years after you get famous to catch yourself or you'll always be an a$$hole.
I remember being young, idolizing rock stars and celebrities. Kinda glad I didn't have enough talent to become a celebrat.

A smile to a kid, a conversation with a retail clerk, just affirmation to others that they matter may be my only legacy.

And you probably drove to work in your Bitchin' Camaro.

A full travel ban on Americans, then?

I wonder how many are bots. Or could be some incel stuff going on, I imagine, like "how could you not possibly react to MY response?" And then they take it personally? The internet allows a lot of unsupervised behavior.

Nice, warm, fuzzy insulated ones.

:D

Dang. Forgot my cup today.

So, by being a klutz, I'm helping math? Awesome.

And I agree, most "current" (rock era) X-mas tunes don't do it for me. Crunch chords. Don't jingle bells.

That McCartney tune gets a lot of debate each year, guaranteeing it will last.
You and I are on opposite sides with both this tune and the Waitresses.

Seeing the faces of the delivery drivers light up when I tipped them. Roommate had the COVID so we were quarantined. I added a tip to the bill at checkout from the grocery, but tossed the drivers an extra $20 just for grins. I could tell that just didn't happen often.

If its AI can help me find where they hid everything after the last update it may earn its keep.

Buy a condo in Costa Rica and swim in the ocean the rest of my life.

It is absolutely a slug. Every day it feels like flogging a dead horse.
