People who keep bringing up your past mistakes. I did that years ago, how is it still relevant?

Overused sound effects in movies, especially the one of the truck honking it's horn twice as it speeds past.

Time. It lasts indefinitely when you feel bad or bored. But right now it's racing like crazy. I really don't have time to cope with over things right now. So much needs to be done before the end of the year.

Just because something is new doesn't mean it's good
I don't conflate new with good by default but sometimes you have to work with what IS instead of vainly hearkening back to some older standard of what it SHOULD be. No amount of grousing about the old days is likely to turn back the hands of time, too many genies are out of the bottle and most of them are never going back in.

Not necessarily, I've seen a documentary recently about the way bread is made in the US which is barely bread, filled with chemicals, when the way humanity has been making bread since the dawn of civilization is much healthier
What you dismiss as hearkening back to some older standard can influence people into for instance reflect on why they keep ingesting carcinogenic substances
If only everything were as simple to solve with hindsight as that.

In which context? Hopefully not traditional art
What's that again? Sorry if I ask, I ain't no expert.

Since bread is being mentioned, I have been making all my own bread living in the US. I enjoyed making bread before moving here though- and there is actually a surprising variety available in the shops. It's not like what some European people think. Pumpernickel, etc breads from a local bakery are murderously expensive though; like $8 for a loaf.
I remember discussing bread on here before, that I spoke about how in Victorian England bread was often made with poisonous ingredients like compounds of aluminium to cut corners.
Even when that ended, industrial processes used to make bread meant that recruits for WWII in western countries were often malnourished.
A return to 'healthy bread' that includes whole grains, or is fortified with vitamins and minerals etc was a surprisingly modern change, that occurred in the later 20th century in the West.
TL;DR bread has been, for a large part of its history, awful if it wasn't frankly poisonous. We live in a new golden age of bread, happily.

Caries.
Humanity has learned to extend its life span from 35 to 70 years, and evolution has begun to take away our teeth. Evolution, what are you doing, you lazy fool? Go come up with a natural defense against these microscopic scoundrels that devour THE HARDEST STRUCTURE OF THE BODY - ENAMEL! This is unthinkable, I ask, no, I DEMAND natural protection or teeth like a shark. I do not care>:0

Hmm, that might not be the reason. You can get caries at any age, and 35 has never been the medium age when people die, excluding men during war time it's one of the least likely ages to die. The medium age expectancy was just dragged way down by all the infant mortality, otherwise it wasn't that uncommon even in the middle ages to live to 60 once you had passed the age where you're a bacteria free-for-all.

Yep, I start counting down from the time of the first Cro-Magnons.

Cro-Magnons lived better than Neanderthals. But in general, 35 is already an old man. From a very early age, about 5 years old, children already had to work on a par with adults. Their bones often could not withstand such loads. Neanderthals had crazy infant mortality. High loads lead to rapid destruction and aging of the body. A very interesting story.

Having to brag about how much money I made in the last three months, it's just to try and convince a landlord to let me rent their place but it feels obnoxious still, teeheehee

Why do you need my snow? Get away from it.

Your snow? It's the sidewalks, and if they wanna keep it. They'll keep it.
If the sidewalk in front of your house is something that people have to walk over to get to something else and it's considered your responsibility to keep it clear and safe, it's kind of shitty to not keep that walkway clear. I don't think they want your snow, they would just prefer to not slip and fall or twist their ankle or whatever when they walk past your house.

Exactly! No need to pass near my house. Get out of here! Crooks. Get off my lawn!
