At what point do you think it would feel sane or reasonable to you to get on a plane? I've got people trying to make plans for me to get on a plane. Today is not a good day for such ideas but let's pretend that it was. When will you feel comfortable flying or under what conditions? I'm still not com...

Kindred personality, see? I miss normal teenager arguments and problems. Remember when if you had a teenager the problem would be something like they want to go out and party with their friends? Or I don't even know what the normal problems are but it's something like that, right? They're taking the...

Normal sleep. Everyone else's sleep has been messed up and I seem to need a full hour more per day to function. Deprived of it, the body gets it by whatever means necessary, like falling asleep at my youngest's bedtime because he was jabbering away about something and his comforter had just been was...

Have never seen! To be investigated.

Worse magic: I moved my slider with abandon, yet here we are. I think they just stealth use your camera to take a retinal scan while you answer; the answers themselves a meaningless distraction to get you to focus different directions.

First, we live among people who go on murder sprees, or wish to harm our beloved vp for some reason, or wish to overthrow the government, and have no problem quickly arming themselves for the occasion. I can't even talk about this - it's too intense, it's too much, it produces a migraine and I have ...

Eyebrow wax or plucking done by someone other than me. I look like an old man from the village. I also miss being a normal size and weight. Went to the doctor today and that really sucked. I don't even know if it's possible for me to be fatter without just rolling down the street like a gigantic bal...

It's so exciting that vaccination floodgates seem to have opened! It's an enormous relief. The numbers of people who refuse to take the vaccine at all are scary, on many levels, but we're making so much progress. If we destroy a lot of the host opportunities quickly enough, then even the variants co...

Today I have to get things accomplished so I have my accomplishing things music on deck.

During this period of life, completely cut off from normal radio tunes and listening only to mixtapes, thank you many friends, thank you, I was clearly spared some misery in the early 90s.

Phoebe

If it makes you feel any better, today's report from the 3rd grade is that they actually discussed the Grammys in some detail at school (why? no idea. pandemic life has people looking for whatever helps I guess), and the consensus of the 3rd grade crowd is that Doja Cat was robbed of record of the y...

SEE????????? OMG the overlap. Yet oddly at a higher % for you and with so few other overlaps on the list - there aren't even that many questions! How are they doing this magic?

This is hilarious and seems at least equally or more accurate than other personality tests. However, I am surprised that most of you are getting high percentages of "hit" - the ONLY one I had over 80 was David Levison, and everyone else was below that in 70s or 60s. Bill drops a yeah, &quo...

Perhaps you can imagine how much the Grammy's feel like a joke to me for picking the repugnant non-talent Ariana Grande over BTS in a performance category, but they did give one to H.E.R. and the Billie Eilish song was probably my favorite of that year, if I'm being honest, haha I amuse myself: http...

We have discovered through this process, the early and mid-80s were good and the late '80s bad, at least in this narrow band of pop music.

This survey came out last year, at which point it wasn't as good due to lack of #s, but now lots of people have done it and the stock of rated characters is larger with more ratings, so it is more interesting. Still ridiculous, but more interesting. https://openpsychometrics.org/ According to the pe...

Miracle: we are both vaccinated. I still cannot believe our good fortune but it is real. I don't care whether it's rational or not but I'm going to credit Joe Biden with all of it. After living through 4 years of the post-truth era this is my truth.

Phoebe

I do not remember this song AT ALL. Don't feel bad - I consider it a mark of our mutual dignity. The only reason I even know who this person is is that I used to have a friend with her poster hung up in his dorm room and would mock him mercilessly for it. It's the kind of behavior that deserves mer...

OMG Stan move to... Elsewhere! We have a better elsewhere over here! Good for your field I would think. If you can survive living in Indiana you would be even happier here, if marginally.

You may be right about this, but just going by my highly scientific sense of radio impact and song quality, I think that Post Malone song deserves to be there above some of the others. Maybe I'm not a Roddy Rich fan but I don't think either of his nominated songs surpass "Blinding Lights"....

Phoebe

Especially when they have eight songs in some of these categories, and so many different categories as a way to fit things in. I haven't heard of half of them, and that doesn't mean they're not deserving, but when the artist - and yes I'll just go ahead and mention Justin Bieber here - is somebody o...

I have never heard (of) some of these in my life despite being a teenager then. It's amusing to pinpoint the exact dates when mainstream music disappeared completely from life and memory. Steve Winwood to me is Blind Faith, Traffic, Spencer Davis, or he's a mid 90s solo revival. Where is Metallica a...

Did you get vaccinated by the way, like both of them?

I am sorry, but glad you let us know. Because here we all are, sitting here in a pandemic, and in that manner you have solidarity. Maybe you need snacks?

If anyone sees a video of it that someone happened to capture, can you post it here? This is so cool. I would probably assume it was North Korea or some other attack, so it's even cooler because it wasn't.

This is a great damn song! I should listen to this band more often. The problem is I really like the music but I'm not a super fan of the singing. The music is really good though.
