Laziness horseshoe theory

I think my biggest change of opinion now that I’m middle age is that I now think parades are great. Almost all parades

Preparing to cook when everyone at thanksgiving has made it clear they’re not going to try your tofurkey

Random question, but does anyone I interact with on here have a subscription to Le Monde?
