An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.

In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

I don't think there's anything on the planet that is "for everyone". At my age there are a million things that people insisted that I would love, that turned out to be anything between mediocre to downright nightmarish. And it's not because I am some kind of downer who doesn't enjoy life.

I've done lots of things that were lifechanging for me that I absolutely do not recommend for everyone. Some of those things include: moving to another continent for life, psychedelic drugs, having children, recording an album (unreleased, will never be released), ownership of various pets. None of these things are for everyone, and I wouldn't push anyone who was reluctant to try it "just once".
