I'm neuro divergent, I guess, but not ADHD. If anything I'm the opposite. I can focus of things incredibly well. I can prioritise and actuate tasks rather well.
However, you give me a dentist appointment at 2pm and I'm up at 7.30 with my coat on by 8, sat at my kitchen table until mid-day when I walk to the dentists and awkwardly stand outside for nearly an hour because that's what I'm doing.
This is a classic mafia move. It will end with the mafia owning something that used to belong to someone else even though that person did not want to sell it.
It's the first Mario game in a while where I feel that a huge part of what the game offers is completely beyond me.
That's what the author feels is weird. That they find the game a bit too tricky compared to what they are used to. That and it feels new and strange.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too
Next up, Gazans steal valuable military assets from the US. Children as young as five caught hoarding raw materials to make weapons of mass destruction.
Yes, but those events and the relative importance of those events are highly variable.
Someone living in the 80s in a small town in Scotland is unlikely to have lived through the same 80s as someone running a FTSE company in New York at that time.
There's this idea, and I think it is particularly American, that the whole world lives to their narrative. The narrative of the rather privileged middle class.
For example when we talk about the 80s the narrative is big hair, cocaine, excess... But that's only true of a very small proportion of the world. I know plenty of folk that didn't see a cell phone until the early 2000s.
I think culture is a pretty useful grouping for assessing a lot of traits and behaviours. Sure, it depends on the culture and the trait you are assessing, but as groupings go there are entire academic fields devoted to the study of how those things work.
Similarly with economic factors and class. These can be useful in describing proportions of a population. And how they react relative, again, providing the trait we are assessing is relative to that factor.
I know you are probably just being glib, and you are right that and generalisation can be pretty useless. But I still think the exceedingly broad "generation" is the most useless.
Hey look, Elon was clearly trying to build half a house!
For the kids!
