37. What I hate is how mean and nasty people have become.

Aug 2023

I was at one of my favorite eateries the other day for happy hour, and I'm sitting at the bar, and these two older women start talking about going to see Sound Of Freedom. Right there was a red flag. But even worse, this older guy who was with them, who was mostly quiet, out of the blue shouts at the top of his lungs "INDIANA JONES IS WOKE GARBAGE! That's why everyone is going to see Sound Of Freedom!!!". Needless to say once the check came, I didn't stay for a second round.
