i fucking hate the future

i can't go to hell - i'm all out of vacation days. i watch space rocks and yell at computers for my day job. probably too old for any of this

i think i might be burned out on internet social. it's hard to keep doing it. it's hard to even maintain the amount of attention i'm already giving it
ย
i am the cause of most of my own problems

These examples are programmatically compiled from various online sources to illustrate current usage of the word 'wayfarer.' Any opinions expressed in the examples do not represent those of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback about these examples.
i'd say at least they have a real, dictionary example above these "from the web" examples? like, they have the real usage examples, and then they have this.
i imagine it is an attempt to be more modern, as Merriam-Webster often wants to do.
ok, wait though, i looked at what Jizo statues are and this does actually seem relevant. 2/3 doesn't seem that bad to me, especially since they do add/confirm how the word is being used today.
