I know you’re joking, but for those who don’t understand sarcasm it’s more akin to a rebirth name when changing it after religious epiphanies or extreme cases of cuttingoff communication from one’s origin family/tribe.

That definitely does make it clearer… On a side note, I can appreciate a Stranger in a Strange Land reference when I see one.
Just for safety’s sake, I would advise more for a diffuser with or without a light for aromatherapy. Lit candles unattended are notorious for fire-related accidents, and diffusers can act as a mini humidifier for some. But that’s just imo.
Yes, outside of Las Vegas, NV and The French Quarter, LA (other places noted below in comments, apparently). I don’t know any place that allows it, but I could be wrong. I think it harkens back to the days of Prohibition with dry counties. Someone can correct me, as my history recollection isn’t great. I’m guessing it’s not much of a problem in the UK, or wherever you are located?
EDIT: Added other places others listed
I think that’s because the descriptors come after the noun in reporting. Similar to how documentation is done for other professions, like healthcare. If it’s out of the context of reporting, or other situations listed in the site below, it sounds grammatically strange or rude.

Maybe it’s too early in the morning, but can you explain what you mean by the latter point? I’m under the impression trans treatment is provided for individuals seeking gender affirming care, with parent agreement if the individual is a minor. Your statement sounds like only the parent is consenting…
EDIT: Thanks, EatATaco. So my confusion lies in the equating puberty to hormone therapy. Similar, but not the same.
Just another reason I like the nordic countries. So much support for its citizens.

The key is to not invite them in, silly. But, then again, who would be inviting trick 'r treaters in? Eh, it’s late, don’t mind me…
I’m reminded of an episode from Stargate when one of the Asgardians, Thor I believe, was able to stop replicators from attacking his home world with the help of one of the main Earth characters, Sam. Thor needed someone of a less evolved/“stupider” species to help with the problem after none of the Asgard scientists could find a way. He said with compliment, “It was your stupid idea,” and Sam smiled back.
I feel like religion/conservatism plays a role in this mindset. There’s a lot of pride in self-sacrifice and at least appearing “strong” in the face of adversity even if it’s regarding your health. Not that I agree with it at all. I’m all for unlimited such days and self-care.
