One of the things I'd say to your first paragraph is that you're never too old to learn something new. I'm a driving instructor and I've had learners who are over 60. Though, sadly I have seen first hand what you're talking about. One lady I taught a few years ago at 62 years old had to stop taking lessons because her hip was going... Our last lesson was the last time I saw her 😭

From my perspective, I believe it is true. I'm only late 30s, and I've been filling my time with more "firsts" than ever before, but I can't remember the last time I ever thought "damn, time is really dragging on today".

I've got a relatively new career; I've been trying my hand at politics (was just 150 votes from winning an election this year!); I've been getting involved with volunteer work; I've gotten involved in activism, going to protests, anti-racism rallies, removing stickers, posters and flags placed to cause division and hate; I've been bonding with the most beautiful parrot my fiancée and I rescued; I'm teaching my son to drive; - the list goes on. My schedule is pretty relaxed, but whenever I look at the time of day I think "hell, how did that all go so quick?".

I've been making a few mistakes just this week because my brain has refused to update the fact that we're 5 days into July already and we're no longer in mid June.

I dunno. Maybe it's time perception, maybe I have early onset Alzheimer's, or maybe I have early onset Alzheimer's.

Fantasy World was the one I was thinking of. I had the ZX Spectrum version!

The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy on MegaDrive I think is one I remember fondly as well - I had the 2-in-1 cart with Cosmic Spacehead which I also loved!

Snek is liquid: it takes the form of its container.

It is also nemesis of Solid Snek, who booped his snoot for trying to activate Metal Gear.

Given Trump's bullshit, frankly, I just want to come in here and appreciate the absolute beauty of our world and its neighbour. I really fear what's about to happen.

Random unexpected ponies, on my Lemmy? It's more likely than you think!

This is why things like prostitution and drugs should be legalised, not because we're an unruly civilisation for allowing these things, but because it helps dismantle unregulated criminal activity which is better for society.

Given the tech we have even nowadays, it's probably cameras/sensors tracking whether or not the operator is looking at the controls they're using.
