Summary

Welcome to the June 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! We are inaugurating a slightly different publication schedule, in which these monthly AMA will take the place of one of the regular Monday episodes, rather than being in addition to all of them. A slight tweak that will hopefully make my obligations a little more manageable.

These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!

0:27.9

all sorts of things.

0:28.9

As you grow older, you accumulate more stuff,

0:31.1

and you gotta move our stuff into a new place.

0:34.3

So anyway, the point of me mentioning that

0:36.6

is I have no amusing anecdotes to begin this AMA with.

0:40.6

I just gotta like try to squeeze out time

0:43.3

to answer the actual questions that were put in front of me.
