The sliding closet door fell off and nearly hit me. The chair had, um, what I assume were fresh bodily fluids based on the ... glisten. The sink was clogged.

Yeah, I would advise using against using it today. Like, I said, old timey. Not as acceptable as it might have been in decades past.
I'm middle millennial and consider it flippant at best. Like "chick flicks" and "chick lit" are seen as less serious/valuable/artistic than media intended for men. "Hot chick" as a way to value/devalue a woman on looks alone.
Most I can think of at the moment are derogatory.
A "dog" is a person pushing their horniness to inappropriate levels.
A "cow" is someone fat and slow/stupid.
A "shark" is a savvy business person who edges into taking advantage of people unethically.
A "snake" is a liar and a cheat. Sometimes slang for a penis.
Quiet, shy people are "mousy".
Someone who tattles to cops/authority is a "rat".
A "chick" is an old-timey term for a girl/woman that might get you slapped.
A "kitty" is a vagina and also may get you slapped depending on context.
Someone messy/dirty is a "pig". "Pig" might also be used for a man who is rude and pushing sexual innuendos onto women without their consent.
While to "go the whole hog" means to not hild back, to embrace doing a thing completely.
Right turns are the best though.
Cheers for the right!
Wait....
If in the US, you stick a thumb out. If in Australia, index finger. Repeat for whichever country you're in. Contrary to what the Internet often pushes, many other humans are decent people and will stop to help.
I would be more concerned about others unable to reach me. Like, my mom isn't doing well and if I missed her calls during a health crisis because I wasn't on wifi, I'd have a hard time with that.
I took a Wilderness First Aid refresher earlier this year. It was interesting how much the curriculum has stayed the same but the emphasis has changed since I took it a few years ago. There's still the checklist to get to "should I call for evacuation or not" but where before it felt like encouraging people to call for evacuation when needed, this one felt more like "stop to think and be sure a call is really needed because too many people are tying up S&R with their InReach Mini calls for a twisted ankle".
Also new is the full-throated support of adding Narcan to your kit, assuming a state with decent Good Samaritan laws.
AI trail guidance sound like exacerbating an already untenable situation.
Tech companies do t want us to have friend or family connections. Sad and lonely people buy more stuff.
Who remembers when Radio Shack carried actual radio components?
I don't, but grew up hearing the tales.
They are information sponges. They won't understand everything, but they will catch on to at least some things. Don't treat them like idiots. Don't be unfair. Don't be arbitrary.
Because it's fresh in mind from a personal conversation, e.g., if a parents treats one child better than the other, the other absolutely sees it and she will remember. Reactions may vary, but she sees it and will make future choices with that information in mind.
