Yes, this represents that age where we had the optimal balance of being fully financed by parents yet getting a small allowance we didn't have to spend on anything. I.e. no problems. Anything else = more problems

I had nearly no idea what I was doing and starting with Debian seems to have gone ok. Others said Linux mint is beginner friendly but I haven't tried it.
Problems Vs money looks more like y = (x - 5)^2 + 2
The Mithras cult did not have any particular attachment to trees, you are probably confusing it with Saturnalia. But even then people did not bring a single solitary tree in, Saturnalia was celebrated by decorating rooms with many evergreen plants and branches as was common in a lot of winter solstice celebrations. The act of bringing in a single evergreen tree and decorating it came much much later, medieval times.
What is your plan for dealing with Hamas soldiers who have themselves committed war crimes and intend to again?

It looks good. Every culture that's found gold has made jewellery out of it. The rest follows from there.
It doesn't tarnish, so once you've already decided it looks good, you then notice it doesn't age or spoil like pretty much everything else. That gives it a magical aura and allure.
It's fungible (consistent and exchangeable).. gold here looks exactly the same as gold there
It's malleable - can be easier subdivided into units for exchange. Can readily be worked into attractive decoration.
Although it's rare this isn't what drove is attractiveness (the Inca had abundant gold and still chose it to make jewellery out of, it just looks better, even if there's a lot of it), but scarcity did help it become a reliable store of value across the middle east, africa, asia and europe.

I don't like oat milk but it's more milk-like than skimmed UHT (bleurgh..). But I guess the line had to get drawn somewhere..
The thought tends to go I) internal birth rates are failing because the cost of raising a family is too high ii) part of that cost is driven by high accommodation costs and downward pressure on wages iii) both of these are alleviated if immigration is restricted
I've no idea if that would actually work, but the logic makes some sense (obvious flaw being if you restrict immigration you lose workers now but internal births take a couple of decades to compensate)
They are extremely boring with little to no real threat and tedious fights where you know who's going to win anyway
