I think people’s tastes are largely set in childhood, or as a teen or young adult at the latest.  If you decide you hate something when young, it is rare you can change that in later adulthood. You won’t even be inclined to give it a chance.

Don't know about that. I used to drink coffee "light and sweet" from the deli, which Starbucks and DD turned into an industry. Now it BLACK only, and the darker the roast the better.

When I was a kid, I wouldn't eat the sauce and cheese on a pizza. I would scrape it off and just eat the crust. In my teens and beyond I became a cheese pie connoisseur and NY pizza bigot.

Also, I would never eat broccoli, now I love it.

I posted that in another thread

How does one document that they are "undocumented"?  Could I head up to NY and claim that I'm undocumented?
$1k would buy all the avgas I need for the round trip, with reserve.

Can you pass the melanin test?

Democrats always seem to be starting wars…. or facilitating them, and always to our detriment.

Then they claim Republican/Conservatives are "war mongers".

Typical.

Don't apologize.  Half of the stuff on this site is made up.
(see; I just made that up).

87.3% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Well my mom died this morning. 

Does that cheer you up?   

Hey, sorry you’re sick, I take it you mean the Covid crap?

What I’m doing is the sort of stuff you do, you know, when somebody dies. We didn’t have any plans to celebrate the new year anyway. We were doing the death watch thing wondering if she was going to make it to 2024. It makes a difference in how I file her taxes and who knows what other stuff.

She was just a couple months shy of 97 so while we are sad it’s not like it’s a surprise. She had a long life and a good one, and was an extraordinarily good person.  Her heart finally gave out.  She died in her own bedroom with two of her children by her side holding her hand.

So sorry, Rush. Can't think of a better way to go. she was blessed.

So are you.
