That was when he took LSD for the first time intentionally. There was one time before that when he absorbed it accidentally.
Who defined that term? The radio stations. Artists and labels typically do not use that label, it's primarily the radio stations.
When classic rock stations started to appear in the '80s, they played popular hits from the '60s–'80s. So it included newly released hits. But when grunge came into the scene in the '90s, it had a different audience than the classic rock stations so they stopped including new hits. For about two decades there, it was fairly unambiguous that classic rock meant popular rock from the '60s–'80s.
After enough time though, grunge was no longer alienating to the classic rock stations listeners. The opposite became true and the stations could increase their audience by including hits from the '90s.
This raises the question: Did those '90s songs become classic rock or is the term fixed and anything not considered classic rock now never going to be considered classic rock? Who gets to define it? The radio stations who originally defined it or the public perception that developed during the period of time when classic rock stopped evolving?
Personally, I prefer to think of classic rock as a radio format rather than a genre, because it doesn't really behave like a normal genre. If I start a band that sounds like metal then my band is metal, but if I start a band that sounds like classic rock it's still not classic rock? Why? That feels out of the spirit of music genres to me. There are music movements that are tied to a specific time period—my band could never be part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal—but it could be in the same genre as those bands.
In terms of music style, how are AC/DC and Billy Joel considered the same genre? They're wildly different. The Who and The Doors? Very different.
The reason those bands are considered classic rock is not because they sound similar, it's because they target similar audiences. As a radio format, it makes way more sense why some bands are considered classic rock and some aren't.

I found it to be the easiest. If you're having trouble with a boss, you can just go somewhere else and level up or upgrade your weapon before coming back. Unless you're at the very end and explored nearly everything, there should be plenty of other bosses you could be fighting instead. Other soulslike games tend not to have as many options and I would often end up stuck on a particular boss that I had to best because there were no other areas available.
Also spirit ashes. I know a lot of people refuse to use them, but if the game gives you something that makes the game easier and you choose not to use it then that's on you.
In November they did announce they were closing on Sundays due to budget cuts [1]. From what I can tell, that went into effect in mid-December [2]. The budget cuts were reversed last week [3]. So as far as I can tell, they were in fact closed for awhile.
People seem to have this view that everyone in the '60s was a hippie but that's just not true. Time Magazine put the number around 300,000. In a country of 200 million, that's only 0.15% of the population. They were a counterculture not mainstream culture. The vast majority of kids did not become hippies, and many actively hated the hippies.
That's not why they're going after Sony though.
She says the company abused its dominant position by requiring digital games and add-ons to be bought and sold only via the PlayStation Store, which charges a 30% commission to developers and publishers.
Maybe Nintendo has a similar practice with their Nintendo shop that they could be sued over, but regardless they're still allowed to price their own games however they want.
His name isn't Adam. He just makes a comparison between himself and Adam from the Bible. The quote is:
Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.
They managed to get quite a lot of bias squeezed into that title. Apparently it doesn't actually matter that much which state is doing this, as long as you know that you're supposed to be mad at the Democrats.

You can't kill non-targets, be caught doing anything illegal, or let any bodies get discovered (unless it was an accident kill), but you absolutely can use guns. You can use them on the target, shoot out cameras, use them for distraction or panic shots, blast open locked doors, drop them on the ground to pull an NPC off their route, etc.
The game is a sandbox. They give you a ton of tools and it's up to you to figure out how to use them. You're meant to play each level over and over in a variety of ways (as shown by all the mastery challenges) and having all these different tools at your disposal is part of what makes that fun. But if what's fun for you is to mow everyone down with a shotgun, then go for it. There's no in-game incentive to try for silent assassin on every run.
I really enjoy watching Hitman competitions on YouTube. You'll have like one person blowing up propane tanks, one person sniping the targets from across the map, and one person using poison and tasers, with all of them finishing with the top ranking and within seconds of each other. It's wild to me how many viable ways the game gives you to kill targets and how creative it allows you to be.
