Stupid questions with no good answers

Why do I have to slice my sliced bagels?

Why do people say love is work?

Why do we think we'll live forever, despite the evidence?

What does it take to get a drink in this place?

Should I stay or should I go now?

Why does cheese pizza smell like feet, and why am I okay with that?

Why do I vote for someone to vote for someone to vote for someone?

Why do I need a watch for my phone for my tablet for my laptop?

How can Wordle be so cruel sometimes?

Why is there nothing to watch on TV?

Why do all my choices make me a hypocrite?

Why do I have such a hard time with names?

Or faces? Or numbers?

Or the years between 2020 and 2022?

What happened to free dinner mints after the meal?

Why does it now regularly rain in Los Angeles when it never used to?

Why do I love rain so much?

Why does it never rain when I need it?

I think that's enough rain now, don't you?
