Nah, it's just shitty memory. I have had quite the happy childhood, actually.
I don't find myself reminiscing a lot and in the rare cases I do, there are quite some gaps. Even in more recent times. If I really try to dig, maybe it comes back, but I assume it's "use it or lose it".
I've already forgotten most of my childhood and I'm only around 30. So I'd assume, yes.
I assumed as much, but had hoped for a less disgusting reason.
Ich werde nie verstehen, warum alle es so geil finden nach unten zu treten. Klar, Populisten brauchen einen Sündenbock damit wir nicht noch auf die Idee kommen Ihnen oder ihren reichen Freunden das Geld wegzunehmen - aber das die Wähler das geil finden trifft mich.
Why would you protest this change? 0.015% is still insane and it takes nothing away from the ones who already made it.
I'm really glad I wasn't born into one of the hyper competitive Asian education systems, but on the other hand, I'm not sure the degrading western education systems I was born in are better. A happy middle ground would be nice.
Some games I replay a lot, but always on a fresh save. I think I've finished Dark Souls about 10 times without ever touching NG+.
Notable exceptions are:
That approach may work for journalism and such, with a single person collecting primary sources and verifying them before writing an article. However, it does not work on the internet.
Instead of one person verifying the claim and adding further sources in an article, every single reader would have to do it. And anyone using the internet would have to do so hundreds of times every day. Nobody does that. It only makes sense to shift the burden of further proof onto the primary source or disregard it.
It's just too easy to lie about them. They allegedly had primary sources for "They are eating the dogs".
Trusting your common sense to filter these just doesn't work, asking for a better source is never wrong.
Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don't antagonize women?
Does it though? There are plenty of countries with legal prostitution and I've never seen any statistics about illegal prostitution being on the rise there.
It's one of those claims both sides could make and actually believe in. There might even be data for both sides, given enough cherry-picking that is.
So, what's your point? Other people might have a lot more boring childhood anecdotes to tell, but it's not like I'm suffering in any kind. I still remember people or useful skill - the stuff I do use.
As an added benefit of growing up quite poor, I probably just had less unique experiences I actually could recall. Like, I've been on three travel vacations overall. Kinda like those COVID years blurred together for most people.
