This is something a homeless looking man on a pension in some shithole would do to occupy themselves. I’m not quite there yet.

True, most people can't be bothered to memorize shit beyond the point they were taught to vomit it on a paper.

it's so easy to tell people are insecure about their age when they start seething about zoomers out of absolutely nowhere

I was only half kidding. There’s a storyteller guy at the local renfair that’s pretty good. I’m sure he started young but he grew into the role with age. Being able to captivate screenkids with storytelling takes some skill.

Does anybody have any exerpts from the new translation of the Iliad that was done by that stupid bitch that wrote it for the purpose of "accessibility and inclusion". I remember seeing the memes but I didn't save them at the time.

mock it all you want, but it is a long term endeavor that is keeping is brain active over months or years, at an age where lots of his peers will start showing cognitive decline and signs of dementia. S-tier hobby for someone in their 70s or older, with nothing better to do.
