It’s 2023, this charitable site just rolled out a major redesign, and the buttons still say, “click to give.” ?

[ a) it was never good form to put things like “click here” on web sites.
2) many people don’t “click” when they’re on touchscreen devices ]

Sure, I can fly across the country today or tomorrow and be back before Friday night on my own dime, even though I told you I had other obligations. Let me just drop everything including lots of money

We don’t need a “national divorce.” We need national counseling. Our Founding Fathers found ways to work together, and we have done so for generations. We can do it again.

I think the rumored Apple Car is about as likely to happen as the Apple Television (not to be confused with the Apple TV box).

In fact, that’s my theory, that the rumors are coming from Apple’s work on CarPlay integration like the fact that the physical closest Apple has been to TVs is the Apple TV.

I understand why videos on social media often have captions, but I can’t stand it. I find it very distracting. Sometimes when I can’t hear or understand dialog in a show I turn on captions, but I turn it off when I can because I spend the whole time reading instead of watching.

I only figured out this week that different Chipotle locations charge different amounts. That’s for pickup or in store, they charge more per item (plus delivery fees) for delivery.

I guess many/most people have some conspiracy they believe.

Every time I hear someone say they don’t watch TV, they’re really proud of it. They don’t say things like, “oh, I didn’t see that,” or “I don’t watch TV.” They say things like, “I haven’t owned a television for 27 years!”

I guess part of the reason I find it annoying is that I’m trying to make friendly conversation and then I feel like I’m being judged.

Why walk when you can dance, why talk when you can sing?
