I’ve spent plenty of time talking about big issues that are important to and I will continue to do so.\u00a0 Things like support for the LBGTQ+ community, mental health awareness, and what Christianity is all about.<\/p>\n
Today is not one of those days.\u00a0 Today is about the smaller issues that I’m far too passionate about.\u00a0 The things that make no sense for anyone to care about as much as I do.\u00a0 Many of these I’ve mentioned before but as anyone who knows me well knows, that’s never stopped me before.<\/p>\n
So, lets get right into it:<\/p>\n
#1 Neither wind chill or heat index are real things outside of an equation.\u00a0 There is nothing more subjective than “feels like” and that’s exactly what these things claim to quantify.\u00a0 Send 10 people outside when it’s really hot OR really cold and ask them temp it feels like and you will get 10 different answers.\u00a0 You get no actually useful information.\u00a0 And if you aren’t smart enough to know to take precautions when it’s very hot or very cold you get what you deserve.<\/p>\n
#2 Cursive has no place in the modern world.\u00a0 \u00a0I’ve signed my taxes digitally the last few years.\u00a0 The last 2 credit cards I’ve gotten in the mail don’t even have a signature line on the back because we use digital wallets or PIN numbers when we pay.\u00a0 \u00a0AI can read you letters from Grandma, and the fact that’s used as an excuse to teach it proves my point exactly- even when done well, no one can read it!\u00a0 This “skill” needs to go the way of the dodo bird and the passenger pigeon.<\/p>\n
#3 Football is the best professional sport.\u00a0 No, the NFL isn’t perfect.\u00a0 But in the NFL every game counts.\u00a0 Hockey, baseball and basketball seasons are all over 100 games each.\u00a0 Football season is 17 games.\u00a0 AND most of the games are on one day of the week- Sunday.\u00a0 You don’t need a calendar, calculator and 3 apps to keep track of your team’s schedule or standing.\u00a0 And who doesn’t love a good Super Bowl party?<\/p>\n
#4 Solo vacations are the bomb.\u00a0 Hell, solo adventures of any kind.\u00a0 Go shopping.\u00a0 Go to that restaurant.\u00a0 Go to that movie.\u00a0 Do not wait until you have a partner or like-minded friend to do any of things you want to do.\u00a0 Does it feel a little weird the first time?\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 But once you start doing what you want to do when you want to do it you’ll notice plenty of other people flying solo and enjoying themselves like you deserve.<\/p>\n
#5 Wear clothes that fit.\u00a0 Women’s clothing sizes are wildly inconsistent, so do not get hung up on what the size tag reads.\u00a0 No one else can see what size you are wearing and I guarantee no one cares.\u00a0 And no matter your current state of your relationship with loving yourself, wearing clothes that fit properly will always be the most flattering option for you.<\/p>\n
Do you have any little hills you will gladly die on?\u00a0 Let me know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
