Ten Things That Occurred to Me #12
If Ukrainian President Zelensky doesn't win every single Person of the Year award in existence for 2022, then I for sure want to meet whoever does.
I've been around the world and seen money in all kinds of countries, and I am here to tell you that the $1 bill is ridiculous.
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend -- the lack of a “Cancel” or “No” button. Apparently to get that result you need to click outside of the dialog box showing the question. You end up with things like “Would you like to start a nuclear war?” with the only apparent option being “Yes”. I don’t think that is good. It should end. Bring back the Cancel button
If seeing someone’s pronouns (mine are he/him/his) irks you or upsets you in any way, then you need to rethink some of your life choices.
Here’s a question I have -- how much longer will the music industry even sell CDs? I don’t know, but at some point it will cease to be profitable, no? When is the last time you even bought a CD? I can’t remember the last time I did, and I recently gave away my entire CD collection.
I like Nickelback, and I’m not ashamed to say it.
As I do every year, I will not be watching the Oscars as vigorously as I can.
I think we underestimate how much we know about the world. Or rather, we overestimate our understanding of it. Consider the people born in 1880 and who lived for 90 years. They saw huge, mind-blowing changes in their lifetime culminating in the moon landing. Makes me think of what our world will be like when I hit 90 in 2052. I suspect it will be profoundly different than it is today.
I may have mentioned this before, but I’m astonished by how great noise-canceling headphones are. They reduce the cacophony to a “dull roar” as my mom used to say. I’m saddened that I didn’t discover them earlier. Would love a pair that somehow reduced all noise.
Dear Convenience Stores of America. Emulate Wawa gas stations. I go there because I know, 100%, that they have a bathroom.
