First, happy belated birthday. I hope it still managed to be a positive overall.

Secondly, kudos to you for your self-awareness. Most people would be unable to admit their unexpected attachment to the trappings of a birthday and would just chalk it up to people not caring.

To your point, I think it’s born of two main things. First, as people get older, those around us outside of the immediate family tend to retire the gift-giving on birthdays. Perhaps they don’t celebrate their own any longer and it fans out to those in their circle or maybe they just don’t think a gift is necessary as we continue aging.

I think the second cause might be that as we get older, we keep adding people to our circle of friends and at some point, it just seems larger than we can manage in regards to gift giving to everyone that deserves it. Couple that with being told by you that gifts weren’t necessary, It seems a logical conclusion to come to.

All that being said, unless our friend or family has specifically said they didn’t like to celebrate it, we should all make a big deal of someone’s big day.

No dispute on my end but the fact remains he’s a unfitting example for the meme as he was the fourth CEO in the company’s history and wasn’t in the picture when it was founded.

Elon is not the founder of Tesla. He sued the actual founders to bury that fact.

Your question leads me to believe that you think pedophilia is a Republican construct.

Well, this was surprising. I looked on Google images to see if it was the norm(it is) and as a bonus, found out that the guardrail exists only to protect the motorist with no consideration for any pedestrians( src ):

Looking at the 2006 Guidelines for Traffic Barrier Placement and End Treatment Design Ward referred me to, I learned that “the function of a roadside barrier is to shield the motorist from impacting an obstacle along the roadside.”

The crew didn’t blow up(src).

The flight, and the astronauts’ lives, did not end at that point, 73 seconds after launch. After Challenger was torn apart, the pieces continued upward from their own momentum, reaching a peak altitude of 65,000 feet before arching back down into the water. The cabin hit the surface 2 minutes and 45 seconds after breakup, and all investigations indicate the crew was still alive until then.

We were led out of our classrooms to watch it since we lived in FL. When the launch went pear-shaped, nobody really understood what had happened, we just thought it was part of the fuel tanks dropping away. We went back in, sat down and continued our day. I don’t think the teachers ever told us something went wrong and I found out about it that night at home.

And if you’re 18 and can’t afford housing, remember, his birth date could have been your birth date.
