Yes.
Looking into people's eyes makes me uncomfortable, and with mine and other people's sunglasses and tinted windows it's almost impossible to see people's eyes. And most of the time I'm not that close to the cars until I'm already going past them.
I have a $2K+ e-bike and it's still going strong, so I don't intend to replace it until it dies. I mostly ride on sidewalks, I really don't like the cars getting that close.
Because I love learning about people. Much like studying history.
Superficial cuts and hand sanitizer.
Spent 45 minutes on the phone with my bank on a terrible line because somehow, even though my address is right in their system, and I've been with them for 15ish years, when I went to open an investment online I was refused because the system identified me as having an address in a different country.
Worked with Rogue One, didn't it?
Titanic waves hello.
That was a tragedy, where you knew before you watched it how it was going to end.
I’m talking about stories where there is a possibility of a good ending, but everyone still dies.
...so a tragedy.
When you want to watch a cute cat video but someone narrates an annoying human voice over them into an incredibly funny skit.
Also, overbearing music in an animal video. It's not necessary and detracts from the Koala/Red Panda beasties that you're trying to view.

Tragedies then. Willy Shakespeare was known for them. Lots of operas too. Heck, even Lord of the Rings is not an entirely good ending.
I've been seeing a lot of this online lately. People posting "This movie/book/tv show sucks and was pointless and the ending didn't work all because it wasn't happy and the main characters died!"
Which is a tragedy in of itself and shows the poisoning of the well of the idea of a "happily ever after." Which is absurdist on its face.
It’s fine if the premise is set up with a high likelihood everyone will die. It’s not good when this isn’t set up.
Do you expect the main character from NCIS or the Blacklist to die?
Did you like how LOST ended?
No, because it seemed like a copout and that the writing staff didn't know where the hell they were going, not because of the actual place they ended up.
The last good TV ending I remember is the original 4400 that I binged during lockdown.
