  • It always comes across to me as a very american thing, specifically trying to make something feel older than it actually is.

    I’m something like HelloThere XV because the firstborn son in my family has had the same name since at least the 1700s - even across language when we got forcibly relocated for sheep.

    Would my future son be XVI? Sure - but they won’t have the actual numerals.

    A - UK uses Trident, an American launch system, so it’s likely that any attack against America by the UK would somehow be disabled

    B - that’s not how MAD works. If France, or the UK, launched anything nuclear the retaliation would be immediate and immense.

    C - why try to invade 11 million canadians when there are only a few tens of thousands of greenlanders? If an intra-NATO war happens, that’s the more likely one imo.



  • What I remind myself is that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It’s perfectly OK to say that after a long day your brain is soup and you just want to chill for the evening.

    It’s also fine to say that your tired, but will come out for one or two and then leave, and then do just that. Obviously if you find yourself having a better time and enjoying it you can stay out.

    I find that adults respect other adults more if you are upfront about your own boundaries. You also don’t need to make excuses, try to have the confidence to be straight forward and say you’re tired and will skip this one, or whatever.
