Yeah. There was a point when I was thinking I'd keep this account professional and share it with my students. Unlike my other social media accounts. lol

The question was about marriage. There are two reasons that I see people get married. For young people it's about starting a family. However you and I feel about it personally, legal structures that are in place just make it easier when you're married. The other reason is for older people. Pensions and estate planning is easier for married couples. Again, I have opinions about it but it remains a plain fact.

I'm in my mid-50s. The generation older than me - my aunts and uncles - generally were in school until grade 8 and were out of the house and working by 16. My mother had her older sister as her teacher.

24 is not a child. You can vote drive, drive, drink, marry sign legal documents etc. And at least for women fertility begins to decline at 32. If you mean you will continue to grow as a person and develop new interests that hopefully never goes away. I went to grad school and was in academia for over a decade after my PhD. I have made two major shifts in my career since then. Old people still feel like they are in their twenties or early thirties mentally, we joke about it all the time. So congratulations, this is it.

Newfoundland isn't part of the Maritimes. It's part of Atlantic Canada, but isn't a maritime province. Same way that BC is in the West but not part of the prairies.

I think this is a very limited definition of the word "skills".

The Linux program that had a cat chase your mouse was Neko.

My hopes were so high for the stupid thing. They couldn't tell the story in front of them that was already loaded with allegorical social justice issues. They had to reinterpret the entire thing and just plain fucked it up. Just sad.

Projection is a powerful drug.
