If you love your Starbucks milkshake and Seamless, I'm glad. It's hard to feel happy, so if spending a couple bucks does it for you, then bless you.

In all my time living in New York City — about eight of my 29 years — I have never bought something at Starbucks, drunk coffee, ordered delivery, or used or owned a credit card. People think I'm weird or missing out because I don't do these very common things, but I think they're weird for having any interest in them. Going to Starbucks is a ridiculous waste of time and money, and ordering delivery is too decadent for my tastes, even if the food is cheap.
