But they'll still make you take your shoes off...

I've seen that one referred to as the "hot dad" hamburgler.

That does sound like a good way to make the tip of your tongue go away.

I haven't tried slackware in some years, but doesn't it require not minding that the version of everything be way dated? OP said "up to date".

Who else would the bug fixes be for?

As someone who grew up in the NYC pizza area, but has lived in the Boston area for a few decades, this is incomprehesible to me. While there is some very good pizza to be had in the boston area, it is from very individual places, whose pizzas do not constitute any cohesive boston style (and some of which are NY style).

What I would call the closest thing to a regional style is the pizza from sub / pizza shops, usually run by greeks and so sometimes called greek pizza, which tends to be cheese heavy (and i'm not sure what the mix is, definitely not just mozerella/parm), and lacking in the sauce department, to my taste.

I'm sure there is bad NY pizza, but good NY pizza has a tastier sauce, thin crust, and a good cheese balance. And unless things have gone downhill since my last visit (which is certainly possible) even your average NY pizza is pretty decent.

Do we still say "name checks out" on Lemmy?

I'm decades older than you and I've only experienced much milder versions of some of what you've described. Your dr is a complete asshat. I think drs tend toward being negligent about that sort of thing as people age in general, but to hand that line to someone in their mid-twenties is beyond stupid.

I think something has gotten messed up in our culture that makes people obsess in an unhealthy way about identity. It's a natural concern for people in their twenties, but it gets exaggerated. Your identity is just who you really are and it is a life's work to get to know that and to develop it, and the possibilities are much broader than you can know, especially when you are awash in a culture that is selling you identities. Don't put yourself in a box or fit yourself into some mold by deciding on some 'identity'. Give yourself room and let it naturally develop.
