    If I have to pass a yearly exam to prove that I am not in some form of cognitive decline just to have the same rule apply to every other person, including politicians, then I’m all for it. Same goes for driver’s licenses. My grandmother, who is 91, just renewed last year. She told me over the phone, “This will probably be the last time I ever have to do that,” and I just thought, “I sure fucking hope so.” I’m not against older people doing what they want to do, but reality and safety have to come into play at some point. People break down as they age. I’m dealing with it now, and I will continue as I get older. I have no illusions about it. The feeling that you are entitled to whatever you want regardless of the safety of others is something that we as humans need to drop, or it’s gonna be the end of us, as evidenced by the current state of politics.














  • Hi, and thanks for shopping Yiga-Mart, did you find everything you were looking for? That’s great! I see that you are stocking up on Mighty Bananas. Excellent choice! Personally, I like to fry them up before I eat them, but I’ve heard that some people enjoy them frozen. By the way, have you heard about the secret of Malanya Spring in Akkala? They say that if you look hard enough, you can find a special fountain dedicated to the Horse God there. I’ve heard the journey can be quite difficult, but it will be impossible for you… when you’re dead, swordsman!
