Bad Bunny, Good Gavegai
you don't have to know about football. you don't have to know about bad bunny or the tpt halftime show. when people mention them you can just stop reading. you can just play outside with your kid and then play pokemon snap on the n64. you don't even have to learn who won. it doesn't matter.

Of course Wuthering Heights isn’t romance. Romance is when you marry someone within 3 years of your age who has the same level of education as you, and you share a Google Calendar and do taxes together.

Same thing here I bet.
