I will tolerate their existence, but as God as my witness, I will never own a cat in my entire life, let alone love one.

False coolness
While I was at the gym, I saw this story play in the locker room television. Long story short, it’s basically how Korean music, AKA K-Pop has risen to heights now reaching global popularity. So high, to the point where there are apparently K-Pop conventions popping up in the United States, where thousands of rabid K-Pop fans in from the United States flock to, despite the fact that they have very little clue to what any of the lyrics actually mean.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that, considering my own past where I had a phase where I really liked Japanese music, despite only knowing that just about every word meant “destiny,” “protect,” and several other constantly recycled clichéd lyrics. But the difference with me is that I never fawned over these Japanese groups like all these people are fawning over their favorite K-Pop groups. Unlike the blatant false claims that “it’s just about the music,” that’s all it was to me: catchy music that I liked, not an infatuation with the performers themselves, like these rabid K-Pop fans are obviously demonstrating.
Too easy
$65,000 worth of chicken wings stolen. The story is a week old, and I can’t believe I missed it then, but yeah… Too easy.
Although, it isn’t as easy as wrapping my head around the fact that it was actually $65,000 worth of chicken wings stolen. According to the story, it was ten pallets. There’s smart thievery, and then there’s just greed. Smart thievery is skimming a little bit at a time over a large spectrum, which in this case would have been removing one or two packages from every single pallet in the warehouse; that might not be nearly as easy to notice, and by the time suspicion piqued, the pallets could have already been opened, wings cooked served, and nothing can be done. Greed is just taking ten pallets straight up and hoping nobody notices the absence of ten entire pallets.
And… there’s really nothing more to say, other than once again, the obvious statement: too easy.
