I finally understand why Funny people care about silly in São Paulo
would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
I had a disappointing first try, a surprisingly good second try, and then a third attempt that taught me humility. So, naturally, I now have opinions

Beautifully put. I needed that reminder today. I would write it down before changing anything else. People underestimate how much sleep changes the answer

there is a hidden assumption here that not everyone shares. I keep a note about silly for exactly this reason
