    I was a regular guy in my 20s/30s working as a computer programmer, living in a house with roommates and doing a lot of theatre. Amazingly there were more than your two possibilities, and I would hazard a guess that there are even more. LPT: simplistic binary thinking makes people boring.

      Yep, regular guy in the 80s doing programming.

      Thats even now not so regular, that was very special and very high paying back then.

      So amazingly, you being in your 70s (80s where 40 years ago after all) now and still unable to really fathom, comprehend, how very very good you probably still have it compared to others is telling enough. And that was one of the two binary options i gave for the 80s: too young too comprehend, too rich to care. You clearly fell and probably still fall in the latter category.

      Not a lot 70+ year olds on Lemmy btw.

      That all, combined with the use of the lpt acronym makes me doubt your age. That, or i’m talking to a llm.

      Binary is boring that is true. It also has a 50% chance of being right the first time.
