Similar story. The only upgrades I made to my 2014 desktop were a 1TB SSD and a used RTX2070 to play BG3 in 2023. I don’t care much for the latest multiplayer shoot em ups with simulated leg hair growth, but I can play most other titles from the past year at the highest graphical settings.

Were you not aware of it at any point? I don’t necessarily mean as part of the GCSE curriculum. I’ve been aware of the Odyssey and the Iliad from the “Ancient Greeks” part of our primary school curriculum back in year 4. Of course we weren’t analysing texts, but I’d expect any ten year old to be capable of rattling off some major plot points like blinding Polyphemus, or sailors plugging their ears with wax against the sirens and tying Odysseus to the mast.

Liam’s a tool. The UK absolutely does teach the Odyssey, and has done so at least as far back as my youth.

Yeah those 3 years really demonstrate how the myth of “they married young in the past” can’t possibly be a myth.

You’re being sarcastic but that’s a correct statement. When talking about a lower bound on something, the only information one can directly infer from the statement “13 is too low” is “any number below 13 is also too low.” If you’re arguing that “13 is too low” implies “16 is too low” then ditto 19, 22, 25. It’s an absurd argument.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leonardo DiCaprio meets a woman⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m a mathematician so I’ll give you a free lesson: 13 is less than 16. So in a thread discussing Disney and the historic attitudes of people towards a 16 year old marrying, saying that it was inappropriate for a 13 year old in a Shakespeare play is immaterial to the discussion.

Romeo and Juliet were 13 though.
