I listened to both the second wolf and the crow and got a Chelsea cut (buzzcut with bangs). I love it

Agreed. It's not like not understanding technology is a causal consequence of age. Like you hit 55 and suddenly you don't get it anymore. My dad is a baby boomer and he's always had an interest in and thus was and still is good with computers, both hardware and software. That doesn't go away. He's less adept with smartphones though because he views them through a very utilitarian lense and doesn't really experiment and thus doesn't learn much about them. And he's literally never made any social media account because he doesn't give a fuck.
I'm like this too from a combination of being a gifted kid in the 90s and being neglected by my parents. There's starting to be more recognition that the very high above average kids need as much support as the very low below average kids, but it used to be just a nice break for the teachers because they just put you in the corner with a book and considered it as one less kid to worry about. So you go through life being instantly good at everything that is expected of you, and then when you have to actually apply yourself, you haven't learned any skills for dealing with frustration and disappointment at all. I've become better at it over the years but it definitely still impacts my life.
Same. I have two alarms dedicated to just 'washing machine' and 'call pharmacy' because I will forget those every single time and end up with no clean underwear and no medication. The only problem is when I'm in a situation where I can't immediately write something down and/or set an alarm for something, like when I'm in the shower. Then whatever I thought of will simply be lost to the void forever.
The 'under 1 billion' part implies genocide, because that is literally never gonna happen - in a time frame where we wouldn't have to rethink housing and nature right now and the next few decades - otherwise without a major worldwide catastrophe. Sure, climate change might take care of it (again, decades away and people need housing now, also, these solutions actually help with climate change) but then we won't have to worry about silly things like housing ever again.
Take it from someone who is autistic, highly introverted and has only lived in apartments in my adult life: you do not ever need to see or interact with your neighbors. It's as optional as with a house. The most I see of my neighbors is that once every few weeks I might stand in the elevator with one of them for 15 seconds.
Fun fact about the guillotine, it's not named after the person who 'invented' it (there were other iterations outside of France). Or well, it was briefly, it was called the louisette after Antoine Louis, but the guy named Guillotin was just the person who proposed using it as a more humane way to carry out the death penalty instead of the more brutal breaking wheel at the very beginning of the French Revolution.
I kinda love that about German though. In Dutch we don't do that and I feel like it's approaching silly levels with the English words we just take over as is, even if there is or could be a much better Dutch alternative. With how much we want to be America and how badly we want to be relevant it just seems very try-hard, while Chad Germany is confident in its language and culture and doesn't need to bend to Angelsaksisch gebrabbel.
I have a really hard time understanding the lyrics when I listen to songs (maybe because I'm autistic and have some auditory processing issues) so I'm often wildly wrong about them.
I used to hang out with hippies and artists and the age range is quite large there. There was this dude in his 70s who would casually talk about the time he helped get rid of a body after a murder acquaintances of his did in the 60s or 70s or something. He was actually put on trial and got convicted in the 80s when one the people who did the actual murder couldn't live with the guilt and confessed but managed to get it overturned when he appealed and got acquitted, in part because they never found the body because like 5 years after they disposed of it they put a new highway right over it. Old people are fucking wild lol
You don't have to assume Jesus existed, you just have to accept the historical evidence which there is plenty of
5 years for me lol
