Most things are logarithmically scaled, including our perceptions.
Having 1 -> 5 apples is a large and easily comprehensible change, but most people probably rapidly lose interest having beyond more than 5 apple.
Similarly the first few birthdays you experience are much more exciting, with the importance rapidly diminishing as you hit milestones. A lot of people start forgetting how old they are in their 20s; the ones that do are mostly due to dating apps.
❌ polyamorous
✅ polyamogus, where you periodically call emergency meetings to vote out the imposter

planned out
The New York Street grid was completed by a commission consisting of a C tier Founding Father, a rich landlord, and a surveyor who seemed to hate New York City so much that he kept his time spent there at a minimum.
They were given 4 years and pretty much unprecendented power, yet procrastinated until the very end and ended up copying a map someone else made 10 years before.
The three man Commission was formed in 1807 and a deadline of 4 years to deliver a plan. In return, they were given exclusive authoritative powers, they didn’t need to consult existing landowners or produce interim reports of any kind - any plan they came up with, the City would implement.
Even so, the three men didn’t live close to one another and hated commuting in, so didn’t seem to do much of anything for three years. There is scant evidence of anything such as meeting minutes.
The Plan they did finally produce made very little sense with even the slightest of scrutiny. The Avenues are not spaced at regular intervals, fifteen streets are randomly wider, there is nearly no green space at all (Central Park didn’t exist yet), and the grid pattern violates any and all natural features of Manhattan.
The official reason this Plan was chosen was because it “attended with the least convenience.” The more likely reason is because they copied Casimir Goerck’s grid produced for the Common Ground (much of what would become Central Park). If you overlay Goerck’s grid, you will see that it is a perfect match for the final Plan, irregularly spaced avenues and streets and all.

The Gen Z stare is simply the rational response in dealing with customer facing situations where either 1. the customer is problematic, or 2. if the worker genuinely doesn’t know what what to do.
Responding or engaging to problematic customers (racist, homophobic, misogynistic) can only lead to conflict, reprimand, or lawsuits.
Responding with inaccurate information or simply saying leads to conflict, reprimand, or poor reviews.
Both have worsened as people have become more polarised, and management cuts funding and hours for training.

Did the professor willingly do this? Around/after COVID a lot of universities were forcibly claiming the lectures recorded by teachers in previous semesters as their own IP so they could lay them off. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s yet another cost cutting measure.
Create a hit one person TV show/movie. Bonus if you’re millennial and messy.
E.g. Bo Burnham if you’re messy millennial man, Fleabag if you’re messy millennial woman, and Mae Martin if you’re messy millennial non-biney.
KFC is successful in Japan because they invented the tradition of eating KFC fried chicken during Christmas.
No joke, Christmas bookings for KFC are booked out months in advance, and people wait in long queues out the door on Christmas.
