today is going BADLY. i ripped open the front spoiler of my car while parking in the garage at work (it's still attached but it looks like some cut through it like a can) TOTALLY my fault but absolutely fuck my life.

the rest of today is NOT helping.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
