Wait until you hear about how the colors white, brown, and the line of purples (purple/magenta/rose) work...

Near enough to be relatively confident in how much we won't progress in terms of colonizing space. The general public severely underestimates the limits to space travel & survival. It's not like I can tell you exactly what or when technology will be like in some exact point in the future, but it'd probably be a few hundred years until we could actually make nation-sized space colonies, and there's pretty much no future where space habitation replaces or becomes greater than Earth habitation, unless we go ahead thousands if years. There were a few interesting astrophysics papers estimating that near-lightspeed and FTL travel tech is like 8000 years away lol.

"Future technology" can't solve all of our problems. It's not magic.

once or forever, depending on your perspective

massive correlation with being trans, and being super adhd/asd/french/some other mental disorder (having one disorder means you have a strong possibility of having others, they're all extremely tied into each other, including gender dysphoria) which are things that cause you to be significantly more likely to spend a majority of your time on the internet and on obscure/nerdy/highly derived forums for various complicated and straightforward reasons.

being a social outcast also may push people towards corners of the internet, and trans people are often social outcasts even if they don't have some other disability causing them to be (especially those from more rural/more conservative or religious areas)

I live in a partially suburban partially rural area about 45 mins from the nearest mid-sized city.

Before, we had Windstream, $75/mo for cable internet that AT BEST got to ~5 megabytes per second (40 megabits per second) download speed and extremely little upload speed wireless, which always started cutting out constantly, was extremely unstable, terrible customer support, every time we complained they said our issues were caused by our router which we only had for a few months to a year and replaced it before it started doing the same thing after a few weeks or months. Near the end, video games just became unplayable and having to download even small files was a nightmare. Terrible experience overall.

We recently switched to Clearwave fiber, which is new to our area, $70/mo for 1 gigabyte download and upload speed (allegedly) presumably when wired. Wireless speed wise, the raw download speed isn't exactly impressive but it can get to 7-8 megabytes per second which is definitely better, but the upload speed is WAY better and matches or surpasses download speed. But the most important thing so far is the consistency, the connection doesn't just drop out randomly like the previous provider did, and I actually get a good connection on games.

I ordered this 30ft Cat6A cable from Monoprice for about $10 on sale on Amazon, looking forward to see how the ethernet experience is with them.
