Edit: i think of space as like this infinite ocean depth. There is eventually gonna be like this massive pocket of new world down there, but until there is, there just isn't any reason to go ourselves unless you're one of those types of people.
I'd also like to invoke the cautions of 2001 Space Odyssey as food for thought
Unfortunately, the ability to programmatically weaponize false-humanity is real, and really effective.
Which is yet another ethical question that has yet to be widely judged before being deployed everywhere. Just a bunch of greedy, short-sighted exceptionalists.
And what a community to do it to. The FUNCTIONAL diy techie 2a hippe crowd that strives for freedom.
Like in what universe would somebody with a brain think "ah yes, let me try to pull a fast one on this group, nothing can go wrong"
I don't have a printer, but I'm well acquainted with the people who do have printers, and from all walks of life. That is not a "take it and roll over" crowd.
You might as well try to sell Vietnamese children full priced nikes.
I'm not sure when the Wikipedia page for "generations" was implemented, but I have a feeling the current generational definitions have been defined a lot longer than the past 5 years. Unless your parents are post-end ww2 baby boomers, I see no way for you to have ever been technically considered gen-y.
That being said, I feel like culturally, it wasn't really until the massive uptick in school shootings (I'm also making a big assumption that you're American, here) that gen-z was really defined. From memory, I think the high profile Columbine shooting happened in 1999-2001, but school shootings weren't really considered commonplace until at the earliest the late 2000s, or even early 2010s.
Assuming they weren't held back in school, the youngest millennial would still have been in highschool until 2014, maybe 2015. Compare that to the oldest millennial, who would have potentially graduated highschool in 1999, maybe 1998.
And since you aren't even 30 yet (let's assume 29), that would have the earliest you'd have been slated to graduate highschool at 2014, making you solidly in the shooter generation, gen-z. Again, though, this is assuming you're American, and the only real culture and history I'm remotely familiar with.
Counterpoint b, though, a lot of people considered people "growing up around the turn of the millennium" to be a millennial. Sooo, yeah. Culturally, sure, close enough, I guess. But technically, nah.
I've noticed there's a thing where our brains filter out fine details, especially in mirrors. When I have a lot of time to pluck and want to try to get everything, you can sway left-right in the mirror to try to add a kind of dither, visually, and that helps see stuff you wouldn't, otherwise. However, knowing this is terrifying because then you start seeing all kinds of stuff that other people probably see that you normally don't and now I wanna die. So, use this knowledge with caution.
That's my theory for old people with sudden face hair. Not that it grows, but it's hard to see.
I remember seeing a research thing showing that mid to late 20s was the average time people started to get married. But keep in mind, that's average. And as soon as you're any flavor of queer or there's conflict near you (like war) throw those numbers out the window.
Fyi, typing games are weirdly making a comeback on steam and I'm here for it
