For me all this smoothie talk reminds me of one of the main villains from Happy!

I regret every day that I didn't follow my dreams at 17 and become a wrestler. I'm legitimately tall (take away 2-4 inches off of every wrestler's billed height for actual height) and reasonably athletic when I put the work in.
I could be a physically destroyed 39 year old with nothing to show for his life instead of a mentally destroyed 39 year old with nothing to show for his life and honestly right now that's a trade I would take.

Are you disappointed that you didn't invest in twitter?

Ha! Nope. I just had heard so much about crypto I thought I'd throw $50 in the pool. There was a specific crypto that was tied to the US dollar and had been trading at $1 per coin for years. But it started dropping and so I bought $50 when it was $.06 thinking what the hell. It never reached that amount again.
I'm absolutely convinced people worth the right nr of knowledge will be making huge profits off Twitter's demise and the crypto roller coaster.
And then there's idiots like those crypto billionaires (yes, plural, I've seen reports about several such cases) who went from $10+ billion to sub-50million worth in a few days' time because apparently diversifying and putting part of your wealth in safe spots wasn't for them.

To say the least.
I've long maintained that the corn in this province is nothing more than a vehicle for butter and salt since it has no taste on it's own, vs corn from southern Ontario at least.

My office has a massage chair. It's been here for awhile but I only recently gave it a whirl, hoping to destress.
It's...pretty amazing. Not perfect for destressing, but it helps a little.
I might have to change my Facebook status to "In a relationship with a massage chair."

I took a ride in one as a passenger. While on the autobahn it randomly start playing "Don't fear the Reaper". The SNL Version. The street in the display looked like rainbow road from Mario Kart.
That is clean and beautiful, but the ergonomics will be complete ass. But they are nearly little super computers that is keeping you in your lane and at speed, while you fumble around for the volume slider...
You aren't the only one.
Automotive Study Confirms What You Already Know About Buttons VS Touchscreens
If you've ever piloted a modern vehicle, you've likely noticed that touchscreens have started supplanting physical controls. You've also probably found that they're not as easy to interface with as the buttons, switches, and knobs they're replacing. Well, there's another study out that's...

For the last few years, Gas has done more for the site than I have. I just pay for it.

To be fair, that's pretty much the story with all my ACTUAL bosses.
About a month ago or so, my best friend got dumped by her asshole boyfriend. Dude's been out in Alberta for 8+ months for a work-school thing, came home without notifying anyone, and dumped her after being home for 20 minutes. And then moved out of their apartment to move back in with his mother and basically ghosted my friend. Dude was often an asshole who said sarcastic, unsupportive things to her and had his head way up his own ass half the time. It's devastating for her, but she can do better in the long run. (Not me, for the record. I love her, but only as a friend. We wouldn't be a good couple and I'm sure as hell not in any good place, mentally, to be with someone.)
Anyway, a few years ago, he randomly linked me with his YouTube Premium account. The other day, I noticed there were suddenly ads on YouTube, which hadn't been there for ages. I'd honestly gotten so used to it, I completely forgot I technically had Premium. In the fallout of their breakup, he must have unlinked me to his account or unsubscribed. Meh, I unlinked him from my Disney+ account, so fair's fair.
But now the ads are back in full force and Jesus Christ, I hate it. I was clearly spoiled by Premium because it's mildly annoying to be watching a video only to be interrupted by an ad. It's REALLY tempting to just subscribe to Premium for how often I use YouTube...but it's also $11.99 a month and I'm not sure if it's worth that.
So yeah, that's my first world problem rant.

If you're talking about PC usage, Adblock Plus for Firefox is 100% successful at removing ads. I genuinely can't remember the last time I've had to watch one.
