It’s a surprisingly useless skill in the modern day if you have a digital watch. Most people just use their phone or a smart watch and those show time with plain digits so there’s no interpretation. I forgot how to read an analogue clock face for the longest time, bought a classic watch recently and have picked up the skill again but if I didn’t then I’d never use it and I’d forget it again. Despite what some people think not all skills are unforgettable, it’s just a matter of how useful it is day to day over a long period.
I wish we lived in a world where our political leaders were transparent enough to do that. There’s so much fronting and pandering I just don’t believe anything anyone claims to say anymore because more often than not their just after some reaction from me. The only reason anyone should have to give for quitting their job is “I don’t feel well enough to continue”.
