Oh my goodness, Christmas Shoes is the worst.

My must have is Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Christmas Eve Sarajevo

It's easily overplayed, but if I can get away with hearing it 3 times through December, it's great!

Can't stand... Not going to link Maria Carey.

Edit, also not going to link (gagging) Christmas Shoes (vomits)

That looks like a 3d printed shell over some sort of scannable chip that pairs with an app on a smart phone to require a physical action to unlock the full phone experience.

A printed QR code paired with an similar app would serve the same function.

Most people don't think about how things work. I'd guess that most customers thought all the smart features were internal and the Internet connection was just an arbitrary requirement

Walmart depresses me with its new bare concrete floors, and dystopian looking decor. The sheer amount of stuff to look it is overwhelming, too. So yeah, I don't like going there.

Thank you. Now I can happily block OP's profile.

Merry Christmas, Baby by The Beach Boys.

Half the album this song comes from is original songs, the other half is the old favorites that were already old favorites at the time.

Yeah, that doesn't work well anymore. Gotta be a noisy dedicated worker, and be willing to move jobs a few times to start seeing the rewards

So, they technically didn't go to bed angry

It can be a great compliment when someone knows you well enough to see that you're overthinking things. Too many times it's just thrown around without thinking it through and that ruins it for everyone

Oh wow that's a good one! There was a time where it worked out great the vast majority of the time. Not so much now, definitely aged like milk

The top 20 or so most common names today will be the top 20 or so old people names in the future.

I think you have to jump all the way to fully protected bike lanes to get a widespread shift going.

A very small improvement in the width of the unprotected bike lanes would not be enough for the majority of potential bike riders. Then, the opponents have the opportunity to point out the lack of use and crow that the whole idea is a waste of time and money.

But a big change would have a big response, and would relieve a lot of commuters from their reliance on cars. Then the argument that bike lanes are worth the cost and space in cities would have some results to back it up.

Absolutely. I'm spoiled to where I am suddenly tasting the wax in regular Hershey's bars

Oh no, I can already hear the whining about "but (insert type of person the speaker doesn't like) don't deserrrrve an income!" If we can outvote the bootstrappers and rugged individualists, we can see this thing happen.

Ohhh, okay that does make more sense

Yes, exactly! I thought maybe the first few kids get more of a workout than the rest?

Is this a large group of cyclists or like a pedal powered bus shaped machine?

Whatever you want. It might take a few ventures into different styles of writing, different goals of what kind of things to record, different viewpoints. Are you writing to your future self? Maybe to the diary as an entity in itself? Maybe you would want to write to a historian who finds this page later on? Whatever floats your boat, write that way.

For me, it's all the stuff I'd want to tell someone close to me, things I'm excited or sad about, things I'm confused about and just need to see in writing to stop going in circles about it in my head.

Hmm, looks like the image generator messed up the words a bit
