Millenials are a 'sandwich generation' btw taking care of the 'Gen X'ers' and 'Boomers' who were heavily influenced by the '1st 1/2 of the 20th c. cohorts'^1 (more than they would like to admit--I heard how Boomer and Gen X Germans had difficulties relating to their parents b/c of the complacency in the infamy of the 1930's, which in turn got a lot of it's momentum from prejudices which got 'dangerously bubbly' by the mid 1800s onwards --Otto Bismarck's nationalism apparently needed to unify and shlock like social Darwinism) and 'the Zoomers' who they 'want to relate to' despite steady changes in the relatability of the 'bells and whistles' (consumer tech and media) which hold the attention spans of those more developmentally disimilar and vulnerable..

Not to mention the offspring of 'the millenials who made it' even w/auto and living space ownership struggles.


* who were really more like a '19th c. part III' group so much than most would prefer to admit not only if you factor in how different tech exposure and literacy demographics let different attitudes thrive and what that meant when it comes to say outcomes of 'Flynn effect' graphs but

Funny thing when you decide to undertake art, how even if you get over your hang-up on the amounts of wet media which will be used by an amateur like yourself, you seldom find that you have enough quality space and time.

Proprioception (or kinesthesia)

it's the lack of it which makes for the infamous 'awkward autistic' stereotype in terms of movement.

=_= F--K! , that dolt of a past infatuation for harrassing me w/that phrase !

It's interesting how something is mundane as searching for an old charger and USB cable I used to have made for a major thing in a dream I woke up from.

I could see 'The challengers of the unknown' appearing somehow in live action DC media whether it be in some maybe not all that important role in a DCEU movie or (better idea imo) having a part in one of the 'Arrow'/CW-verse shows as an 'answer' to the F4 appearing in live action Marvel movies once more as the time approaches.

Interesting how being called 'Baby' didn't work out for Bryan Christopher Williams enough and he switched to being called Birdman which is a moniker which can still attract unappealing attention but so far for Jonathan Lyndale Kirk being called 'DaBaby' is working out for him more; I like levitating by Dua Lipa. Piano covers of it are fun.

I think the UK reputation to sub-par cuisine among the European regions is a bit underdeserved although I'll admit to saying this mainly b/c I have good memories of the descriptions of foods in the 'Redwall' novels and I'd think that,the series limited itself to pseudo-medieval food and ingredients. The descriptions were apparently appealing enough that this happened: The Redwall Cookbook | Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information | Fandom

This is w/out requiring the input of say celeb chefs like Gordon Ramsey or Jamie Oliver (who apparently can be abusive to an extent as well from what I've hear `_` ).

-Gj: having the window near the front passenger seat be iffy in terms of being able to put up or pull down the window via buttons when you live in a stupidly iffy neighborhood =_=.. and one of the few people who your family goes to when it comes to car related stuff is about to leave in a few days

Old, obscure but fun (entire seasons (?)) of old shows on the YT channel 'Retro Rerun' makes sense now that I know 'Nelvana' owns it.

*sigh* I opted out of work opportunity/event for my alternate job on the 4th since (a) that's on my day-off from my main job and (b) I can expect myself to be still stressed by barely having gotten through the d--n chores (finance based or otherwise) which I can expect to consume me this week and the stress of a lack of communication btw 'higher-ups' and me (like on what different webcam software is needed if any) isn't worth it esp. so soon ( a day or two (?)) after my main vacation has been completed..

if it was in mid- August or onwards it'd be a different story.

W/my dad leaving I might gain a different clarity of mind.

=_=...here's to there not being 'punitive outcomes' for opting out..it was still on a 'waiting list' status which makes me think that the protocol of needing to give a rationale for opting out might only be for those who have their status 'confirmed'.
