Here you go buddy
I’m upvoting all of the comments in here so each and every one if you gets that little validation hit. It’ll be like pouring sugar over an ants nest.
Someone upvote me back so I can get my validation hit too.
That’s a good perspective - just like this guy
I will take ghosts and demonic possession over 25% rent increases and shit landlords and shit upstairs/downstairs neighbors.
Congratulations Void. Well done. Ok you can stop now. Really, you can just stop.
Only a few insects are known to have the ability to hear of which cicadas are included. However, from Brittanica:
Cicadas are noted for the intensity of sound produced by some species and for the elaborate development of the ears, which are located on the first segment of the abdomen.
Please adjust your torture method accordingly and continue…
Oh absolutely. I’m a walking, talking banana if you catch me at the wrong time or on the wrong day.
Also, if we went this route and tested for cognitive function- I’d 100% guarantee that our politicians would be on Adderall or some other amphetamine…if they weren’t already.
I think testing for cognitive function is going to prove impossibly difficult - or at least for now. How do we set and quantify an acceptable value for cognitive function? How will we execute testing? When do we test? How often? Who will do the testing? How do we counter for potential performance drugs for test candidates? Do we notify the public on the test findings? There’s just a lot involved with making this the barrier to entry vs age or term limits.
Was going more PG with Not Safe for Star Wars…but it prob could go a different route.
I watched my dad fall into depression after retirement. The same for a family friend who was able to retire early in their 40’s. I think a lot of people only plan for the financial side of retirement and don’t plan for post-retirement hobbies and activities. It took these 2 people’s examples to open my eyes a bit and start planning for a heavy hobbying which will also look different from light hobbying where you are still committed to other things like work and raising a family.
