“We didn’t used to have all this ADHD and Autism and stuff” I think what you mean is that people used to go undiagnosed and get absolutely no help and were forced to suffer through their life because they had no support or understanding whatsoever but sure, Janice, pretend my generation invented Autism.
My grandfather was legit diagnosed with ADHD at the age of about 80 and he was like “OH”
“we didn’t used to have all this cancer and septicemia and stuff, people just randomly dropped dead because the gods were angry.”

But rly please don't smoke or try to do it less. As someone who grew up completely surrounded by smokers, my parents, my grandfather, my friends, it was heartbreaking to watch them hurt themselves like that. I just really want you to know that you are worth so much more than the shit that smoking will put you and your loved ones through.
listen,,,,,, i don’t fear death or care and no amount of guilt tripping will help bc everything I do is out of spite
The moon has the exact same orbital speed as it’s rotation speed. Doesn’t even vary by .0001. It always faces us. And no one is bothered by it.
Tidal lock is a normal and explicable phenomenon! Most of the moons in the Solar system are tidally locked to their planets. Pluto and Charon are tidally locked to one another.
A few years ago, my grandfather read about some moon-related conspiracy theory hinging on the idea that Luna’s tidal lock could only be the outcome of (extraterrestrial!) artifice, and I got to explain to him that it’s been physically explicable since Newton (or so).
Also, it varies by way more than .0001. (0.0001 what? Percent? Seconds? Fortnights?) Over the course of a month, about 59% of the Moon’s surface is visible from Earth:

the weirdest but most comforting thing about my grandfather being in hospice right now is that he is at complete peace. we’re all at complete peace. it’s not even necessarily sad, a bit emotional, but not really sad. the whole family is around and we’re laughing and making jokes and he’s making jokes about what being dead is gonna be like and it’s just. it’s a family of nurses, you know? a group of people who have normalized death, and so it’s not this big distressing mess of tears because most of us have worked all of our lives around death and its just. not some big scary thing. he’s got probably less than a week. he knows this. we all know this. but it’s okay.
