@Tyranexx Yes exactly. Most people I've spoken to do the religious things they do, because they are traditional, rather than "I'm this religion and this is what people of this religion do."
@ThanosReXXX Sometimes I realize I have to reply to more than one person and I do that. Certain admins have made it very clear than spamming replies is bad manners. So if I realize I have another person to reply to right away, I do that. But now I know it doesn't give notifications.

Days/months/years/etc supposedly feel shorter and shorter the older you get because you’ve lived through so many of them, that each one starts feeling like such a tiny little fraction of your time.
For example, for a one year old, a year is like, a lifetime.
yup

@Eel Is that the reason? Sounds plausible, but on the other hand, it's probably just the fact that kids don't have any patience, so everything longer than an hour takes ages for them, whereas for adults are far more aware of time passing, and as such, it passes faster. I remember vividly always having liked football ever since I was a kid, but a live match couldn't hold my attention for too long, because it took AGES to finish, and I just didn't have the patience or control to sit in front of a TV and be relatively quiet for so long.
Nowadays, live matches are over in a flash. Well, not really obviously, but you know what I mean.
@Heavyarms55 A trick I use is to just edit the comment, copy it, delete the original comment, and then paste the edited comment as a new one. Then everybody involved gets notified. And sometimes if I forget someone, I just place a second comment right underneath the first one. That's allowed. Long as you don't make four or more comments in a row, replying to every person individually...
But another thing you can do, is just wait until somebody else has commented, and THEN place your second comment and/or edit as a separate comment underneath that one, so you won't be spamming either.

I've heard that in addition to this, the routine lives of adults factors in as well for the perception of longer periods of time. Kids tend to have a lot more 'milestones' and events in their lives which creates a definite timeline in their mind that seems longer because a lot happened within it, whereas adults that get into a routine of work and daily lives with no big 'events' have a blurred timeline that seemingly passed by quickly.
@ThanosReXXX Thanks for the detailed response mate, there's definitely a lot to check out then. I didn't know that the Dragon Quest XI demon was that long, I'll probably download it to give it a try since I was interested in the game when it was supposed to come to 3DS but it wasn't released in America in the end.
I hope there's a River City Girls discount soon, I'm dying to play that game since I'm a big River City games fan and I didn't buy it on PS4 so that I could get the portable version.

A routine drive to work etc. gets scrubbed instantly from our minds; the same goes for other aspects of life. By the time you're in your 30s you've seen and done so much of routine life X hundred times that the brain treats it the same as a drive to work.
You guys had me at blood and semen.

@roy130390 You're very welcome. Initially, I was only going to write down a couple of titles, but then I thought: "might as well grab my Switch and see what I've got on there for free, that's actually worth recommending".
@gcunit That is true by and large, but not for everyone. If I take myself for example, I'm highly empathic and aware of my surroundings (and I also happen to be blessed/cursed with a photographic memory), and I can remember dozens upon dozens of those "drive to work" moments, probably hundreds, and each and every one of them has something specific or different, that didn't happen the first time.
But even if you don't have all these sensitivities/conditions, then it's actually relatively easy to train awareness. I've learned a LOT of tricks in sales & marketing and management training...

I've had that; you drive to familiar places on autopilot, absorbed in your own thoughts. Then, when you get to your destination, you wonder "What did I do on the way here?" I sometimes wonder if I didn't accidentally run a red light or something in weird situations like that lol.
So I'm trying out the self-clean in my oven for the first time. I've had the thing for five years and have never used that function. Hopefully it's doing its job; I've had to vent my house due to the smell. At least nothing has burned down yet, though my ill-placed kitchen fire alarm wasn't having it at first. That thing is VERY sensitive. I suppose that's a good thing, but when you have to silence it even when a bit of heat escapes from the oven....

There was a restaurant in Korea that had a burger challenge where you had to finish a burger about that size and all the other stuff on the plate (fries and chili) within an hour. I tried it and failed. Of our group of five, only one guy finished it. The prize for completing the challenge was a free pitcher of beer, which is probably the last thing in the world you would want after eating all of that!
Usually I start with a pitcher of beer before the challenge 😋
damn right, you are required to drink a pitcher of beer before any challenge
