There is still an issue, at least here in the UK, of asbestos in older buildings.
Many of our infrastructures are rather old, and unless they are individually done to remove the asbestos (at a heavy price point), many buildings still contain it.

Just a couple of years ago I had to change a light fixture, and get someone trained to handle the substance (since it is still in the ceiling between floors).

I was offended right from the start. That's just NOT how an anal probe is installed! And the satellite dish was the wrong size completely.

You also need to be a bit more socially aware.

I've had many people tell me I'm attractive, yet at the same time I turned down coffee because it was the evening and I was trying to watch my caffeine intake. During my late school years someone sat next to me as I was eating Lucky Charms with chocolate milk, and said she loves chocolate after sex. My reaction? "Oh, I can only imagine! I quite like the combination with the marshmallows, as they absorb some of the taste. You see..."
Just a couple examples, though honestly it would be nice to have some sort of guidebook on these things. I swear I've missed a million and a half opportunities, only to be woken up from my sleep a year later all "MOTHERFUCKER".

I just use streaming services to find new music to download.

Partying here like it's 2005!!

In all seriousness Spotify has always been a sneaky way for label executives to get even richer, at the behest of artistic efforts. They've always been trying to practically enslave musicians, for pennies, and services like Spotify help them get away with it more by pretending it's a solution to piracy. I just think that piracy angle was a big ruse to further control and rip out those final stitches in their pockets.
It's worse when it's found that the top artists can just pay to be recommended (e.g.: the Drake situation not too long ago) making it even harder for some to get much of a reach if at all.

Probably why so many artists are going independent these days. I bought a few albums lately, direct from the artist websites, and I don't even need to look at the stats to know a great amount of those payments went to the musicians.

You mean... Shrödinger's baby?!

Why must I keep being reminded of this :(

If anyone isn't familiar: they're referencing a rather touching story, definitely Google it.

Are your thoughts more like Wacky Races or Death Race 2000?

Used to with friends who are no longer with us.

The folks I would do this with, hang out at a spot frequently, have either moved away or died.
It's been very hard to get to that point again, however Cannabis communities, particularly in Amsterdam, have really been a help at socialising and making friends. I've made more friends there since last year than I have for several years prior.
Folks are always up for a coffee and a toke!

One reason I think this whole thing is stupid, when saying it's 'for the children', is because I don't think the old folks responsible for this remember what it's like as a young person.

This won't protect anything. When I was a teenager I'm pretty sure I got turned on by a dot matrix style 3x6 black and green screen, showing large dots of what was meant to be Pamela Anderson.
Hell, I'm almost certain we all knew someone in school who would probably have gotten off at two balloons caught in a mop.

Just seems more like a way to make judgement on Adults.

My method is to get someone to throw the avocados at me, whilst I attempt to slice them Fruit Ninja style.

It's not the most effective method, however it kind of sometimes works. If Dave's throw is strong enough, it saves time spent mashing them for guacamole too.

I block most news sources and get the jist of events via memes.

If you have a decent PC, for the graphics, Monster Hunter: World's character creator works for some website selfie verifications... For some it doesn't, however I'll be pirating Death Stranding to give it a go for those ones.

Just thought of throwing that out there. I just pointed my webcam at my monitor with the game running, turned the head a bit and it did the trick.
