Depends entirely on the person. I have friends that are a similar age gap to the one you mentioned, it just never occurred to me to think of it as weird.
We're all into the same hobby and that's how we met, but we also like similar video games, music, TV, etc, so there's plenty to talk about and have a friendship around. I don't think about their age really at all, it just doesn't come up.
But yeah, it entirely depends on the individual, on both ends. You can have a weirdo older person, you can have a weirdo 18 year old. Just got to weigh up a person and try to figure out what their deal is :-)
We all have varied, busy lives that never fit the neat structured exercise plans we read about, or make for ourselves. Sometimes we only find 15 minutes free in a day for some quick exercise. And if that's the only time we have available that day, then that's enough.
Ideally you'll find time for more structured exercise at least once a week, but don't beat yourself up if you struggle with your schedule, you're only human, just do what you can, that already puts you ahead of most people <3
Not to sound too harsh but this is just so silly, blanket assuming that everybody on the planet under the age of 50 are not interested in something that's been pretty commonly popular, just because your individual experience of running a shop in one town in one country happens to suggest that cool stuff like this isn't popular.
How do you know your town's demographics were a completely average in every way representation of you own nation's demographics (nevermind the world) - not skewed by age ranges, gender, wealth, occupational discrepancies, etc?
How do you know your failed business is due to your product being unpopular, Vs your business being poorly advertised to its target demographic (who you think doesn't exist...), or maybe overpriced compared to the available expendable income of the local population, or in a location that wasn't ideal for target demos to travel to, or they didn't like the vibe of the place, etc etc.
There's so many possibilities that it's ridiculous to make such a sweeping blanket statement about everyone's tastes based on your extremely subjective and limited experience.
For example, myself and many of my friends, colleagues and acquaintances would kill for that collection, it's rad, and we're decades away from 50 haha, many of us are in our 20s! We're slowly building our own collections up as we go through life and loving it :-)
I myself just recently got a lovely porcelain teapot that now sits on the mantle next to my other Victorian porcelain, glassware, etc, and I love my display and storage cabinetry, I plan to build my own eventually using traditional joinery <3 I'm on the lookout for more tea china still too, not enough for High Tea with more guests yet, and that simply won't do! :-D
I know I come across a bit harsh here and I'm sure you're lovely, just consider not making blanket assumptions about the interests and tastes of the 5,500,000,000~ people who are under the age of 50, you know? :-)
I mean yeah, Virgin has been pretty solid in that regard for the 20 years I've used them, and their service has been solid too.
I'd be wary of switching to another company that doesn't have such a good proven track record, though due to prices I'm considering swapping to Brsk for a bit to see how they hold up, given that they have symmetric gigabit fibre to the house with static IP for a very nice low price.
I'm always annoyed when people say "You should just get therapy", because of how completely inaccessible it is to those of us not wealthy enough to be in the upper middle class, which is most of us these days.
They're basically saying "Your problems are fixable but only if you've got thousands of pounds to throw away on a therapist, if you're a normal working class person you're fecked".
You might as well be saying "Homeless? Just buy a house duuh".
I know you yourself mean well (and you do use the "practical" caveat which is appreciated), I don't mean to sound overly harsh, it's just this comes up a lot and as someone suffering greatly from mental illness destroying my life that I can't afford to get treatment for it's very depressing :-(
Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don't even know what it is.
Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I'm not sure you know what it is either :P
Real encrypted apps, ...or just the ones their own government can use to spy on them?
