In my experience, learning a second language to a high level involves some amount of disassociation. Only people I know without this experience spoke both languages from a very early age usually at home. So this tracks.
But there can be other factors as well. For example in social contexts can change sharply between languages. The way I talk with my family is very different from the way I speak professionally—at home I'm the youngest and at work I'm the boss.
I think your second paragraph is it. I myself and people I know learned different languages from the begging, from different persons. E.g. Portuguese from the great mother, Spanish from mother. Those are completely different relations, and they express themselves in the learned language.
> Winston Churchill would be represented by hanzi that would be transliterated Wensuteng Chuerqilu.
If we actually used Chinese characters, we would write Churchill with meaningful hanzi and not strictly transliterate. Though there'd of course be variations as there are variations in spelling.
The only Chinese I know is through Japanese, but I imagine Churchill would look something like 教丘
In my area they recycle 1, 2 and 5, so that's what I do.
PET #1 is very recyclable in general. Not so sure about 2 or 5.
My biggest frustration is all the recycling labels smeared on things that aren't recyclable leading to everyone calling it a 'scam' when in fact some recycling of plastics (namely PET) is much better than the alternative (burning or landfill).
I know a few people who have gotten in through Customer Support. Worst case scenario, you get experience working at a tech company, working with engineers, PMs, designers, etc. It's all very valuable. I suggest against the remote angle while you're still learning and making connections in the industry.
If you could get into his Discord (a gaming-focused chat app), you could probably figure it out by looking though his DMs and finding someone close to him to notify.
