Man, I probably see 20 of those every morning when I walk around the neighborhood. The babies are so cute. So tiny.

Oh, there it is
I did not. These are the first celebrity Oreos I've encountered.
Are you sure that it's not Selena Gomez flavored?
"Now with real Selena Gomez flesh in every bite!"
Oh! I think you're exactly right, based on the description. They're pandering to the Latinos.
Let's see, where did I put that barfing emoji...?
Clearly the food chemists all had to take a taste.
I know a guy who was diagnosed with a rare incurable disease in his later 20s. When he asked how long he had, the doctor said it could vary, but there wasn't any way he'd live to see his daughter graduate high school. So he didn't worry about retirement, but he worked hard to leave something for his family. He agreed to participate in a global study of the disease, going in for regular blood draws and imaging.
Every other person in that study is dead. My friend is pushing 70, and no one knows why. He had no special treatment, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual in his genetics, but the disease hasn't killed him. He became an intense focus of research, and even got a tattoo of three dots on his hip so that they could line up the images exactly the same way over the years.
He said it was a real "oh shit" moment when he realized he was going to live to retirement.
If all people did was simple equations like the one in the OP, you'd probably be right, but math syntax has to deal with all kinds of equations. Your way, I can't write 3x^2–4x+5. Instead, I'd have to write ((((3x)^2)−4)x)+5. That's WAY more obnoxious. It's better to have an unambiguous syntax that covers all the cases and lets me write equations in an more simple form.
But that's a bit like saying "If you're going to talk to me, put the adjectives before the nouns," even in Spanish where they come after. Mathematical notation is a language and it has a syntax. Sure, you can decide to ignore that syntax, or insist that people modify their use of it for you, but it's not really a reasonable expectation.
I retired in January after 40 years (not counting jobs during college). Marriage collapsed not long after (unrelated). So now I live alone and have nothing on my calendar. It's honestly so very strange not having to go to bed early on a weeknight. Also, for some reason, the hours and days go very slowly, but the weeks and months go very quickly. Time is fundamentally different than it was previously.
