I find that I understand most of the things when I sit down and do a lesson or exercise, but the problem I have is that I don't stick with it. The gulf between where I am and what constitutes useful programming feels insurmountable, and it drains the motivation right out of me until I wander off and forget all about it.
I say this as someone who opposes him utterly: Trump used to actually be a decent orator. It's... kinda sad, and kinda scary, in a way. I watched an interview he did from... sometime in the 80s, I want to say. I didn't agree with everything he said, but he seemed well composed and he made his points coherently.
Compare that to how he is nowadays and it's like it's not even the same man. Not just the raging psychopathy and egomania, but how he wanders off mid sentence and such. The cognitive decline is painfully obvious. When you figure this is a guy who had access to the best possible modern medicine his entire life, it's scary to see.
DS9 still holds up today. I don't think I will ever reach a point in my life where "In the Pale Moonlight" isn't some of the best television ever made.
I have wanted to play in a game of this since I first heard about it, but I've never managed to find a group for it.
