I am aware -- the ones I know well are quite a lot younger though, being the [early] kids of my GenX friends.
One guy who just turned 30 is kind of pressuring me to start a compound and supply weapons in case Trump invades [somewhere pretty near to the butthole of] Canada -- it's strikingly similar to the Facebook-addled Boomers in my life, except he's actually got a lot to live for (decent job, good girlfriend, etc) and no excuse around senility.

In short?
a physical checkup is mandatory
Unfortunately, you haven't given me enough information to make an informed choice.
Like I said, it's entirely plausible that he's just picked up the tics through hours of reading the output of these things (and thinking that it's good) -- which in a way is even more horrifying than the idea that he'd use one for a pretty simple question about a topic upon which he's somewhere in the ballpark of an SME.
It's not (only) about the lists tho...

Cov19 the disease was eminently predictable -- we have novel seasonal respiratory virus outbreaks all the time, something like a 10%/a prediction would be not too bad.
The Cov19 response (which is the risk that bit cafe buyers' collective ass) would be pretty hard to predict, given that it was completely unimaginable in 2019 -- maybe a generalized "massive four horseman-related social disruption in my area" @ 1%/a would work, but this doesn't exactly seem like what we are after when talking about forecasting skillz.

Man you are either an irredeemable slopmonger or spending so much time immersed in slop that your own writing is becoming indistinguishable.

The point being that even when your focus is on blocking other people in cars, there will also be pedestrians around who might wander into the hazard zone of your antics -- it's quite a lot like waving a knife or gun around in public. Even if you aren't planning to shoot anybody, you are being reckless with a (potential) weapon.

When you are repeatedly blocking/unblocking a street by moving your car back and forth across it, you are continually running the risk of somebody getting in your way -- for most values of 'somebody', the consequences of this risk will rest more on them than on you due to the physics of the matter; this can change quickly if they have brought their own weapons though. That's kind of the whole thing about weapons and self-defense -- it's all fun and games when you are the only one with a weapon.
Dude, I've been on here... I don't remember actually, but a long time before I saw you show up. Taking your word that you aren't just feeding questions into the machine for whatever reasons -- your writing has become super ugly over the past six months or so. Your bluster only confirms that you've lost the plot as to what good writing even looks like.
(and you might want to read better if you think it's the bullet points)
