But 6002 isn't more than half of 14000. The original line implies he wants something around 14000-16000 ish, but the meme changes that to mean he wants almost exactly 12002.

Tbh I also completely missed it. This post was the first I heard about it. How long was it going on?

To a sensible person it wouldn't be a daily driver. I've seen some people who are not sensible on my daily commute.

The closest thing I've ever seen to a teen center was a sports facility that had a room for kids and teens to hang out, but that was closer to a babysitting service. Paired with the facts that you had to pay monthly membership dues ($25 to $100/mo these days, apparently) and the whole facility was meant for something else entirely, it's not something I would first describe as a teen center. Not any more than I'd call a high school a chemical R&D facility just because of its chemistry classroom.

Outside of that one room, I'm not aware of anything else nearby me that would be even remotely similar.

Speak for yourself, the only woodworking at my school was in the bathrooms.

Last time I tried diving headfirst into Linux, I got frustrated by having a problem and all the suggested solutions are all wildly different (from an outside perspective) series of editing settings or unusual terminal commands. I already knew how Windows worked well enough to do most things I wanted, but didn't have almost any understanding of how Linux operated so all of the opaque solutions offered without explanation of why or how it should fix the problem just added to my confusion. Couple that with having to sort through one or two dozen suggestions to find one that actually works, not knowing if even attempting any solutions would cause other issues later.

I would imagine they're trying to ask what someone's ethnicity is but forgot the word for it.

There was some stealth game I was trying out that did this. Before you start the game, it's mandatory to set the brightness level so one logo is barely visible. I figure since it's a stealth game I might as well just so I can see what areas are supposed to be light and what areas are supposed to be dark. Get into the game, soon find some guards and a nearby alcove in total darkness so naturally I dash over to hide before they notice me. The guards walk by and immediately see through the dark to spot me as if they had night vision goggles.

I stopped playing the game not long after because there were a lot of things about the game I really didn't like, but those first few minutes were a tone setter for me. To this day I still wonder why the devs felt it was so important to make sure some things were dark enough to not be visible to the player if everything was going to be visible to the NPCs.

I'm a big metal fan. Will my presence boost my Wi-Fi signal?

Not everyone in the US has health insurance or (more importantly) the same quality of health insurance. Insurers here have the final say on whether they'll cover certain treatments, medicines, procedures, doctors, practices, etc. as well as how much they'll cover, how much they'll charge the patient, or how much any use of the insurance will affect the price of said insurance going forward. Insurance often prefers you work with doctors, practices, facilities, etc. within their own list of approved doctors, practices, etc. and going outside of that list for any reason may cause you to have to pay for any goods or services out of pocket. Then lastly you have to remember that both health insurance as well as hospitals and clinics are generally for profit businesses trying to maximize profit and minimize costs.

And the little cherry on top of the whole situation is we're in a political landscape where even having universal access to healthcare is labeled as communist/socialist by many in a derogatory way.
