Don't be sorry :) I'm sure different people would even argue about the definitions above. I lived in a super-left (comparatively and using US terms) neighborhood in a generally left city, in a generally left district in a state that mostly voted conservative. Depending upon the granularity (and definition of all the above terms), the results would play out rather differently. I'm a software engineer for a living so exercises a bit like this are something I do often
Just based on how often I notice someone mispronounce a word without realizing it (or have done so myself and realized it later). Statistically I’m probably still doing it with some word.
It varies by region at least in the US based on a few years of doing service desk work. Listening to YouTubers, it seems a bit all over the place as well.
I mean, LOAF was a thing (Linux on a Floppy) that had basic functionality even as most distros were downloaded or on CD. I can't imagine anyone still develops it, though.

For the Koreans I met who moved to Japan, the work culture can be less bad, as can be working at certain companies despite where they graduated from. My sample size is small, though, and I am neither Japanese nor Korean.
I've been a software developer for well almost two decades now. I started in tech support and worked my way up. I originally majored in music in university. I dropped out, took some tech classes, but decided college life was not for me. I worked in restaurants for years, and finally got back into IT starting as low-level tech support in the early 2000s. I finally got my bachelor's degree (to get a visa to live here in Japan more than anything else), at age 34.
I would lean toward Option 1. Some of our AI and ML folks can do really neat things in Python, but have issues making it work with anything else in our system. There are also other languages that are getting more libraries and abilities to do what has long been in Python. If you go for option 2, I would supplement with other languages, database, UI, etc. for making a more well-rounded portfolio.
That said, my question is: what do you want to do? What do you want to make and build, or is it just about the money? This kinda informs the answers to what you should do.
Higher levels of IT often involve continuous education to stay competent and competitive. You will be left behind if you don't at least keep up vaguely with new technologies, methodologies, etc. Some people enjoy that part, but it is something of a chore to me.
Buy lots of dried beans, rice, etc. (living in earthquake land, I like to keep our canned goods fairly stocked and just rotate out old ones only).
Buy from farmers markets when available, frozen veg when not.
Buy whatever the supermarket is trying to get rid of. In Japan, I end up with mystery seafood a fair amount, but just about anything is fine fried or in a stew.
Stay away from things out-of-season and pre-prepared foods.
Use any space you have to grow something. Even in my Tokyo apartment, I was growing herbs and chilis.
The above helps. I think everyone has some thing they don't want to give up and that's fine. When I first got out on my own in the US, I ended up surviving off of whatever I could get at the restaurants I worked at and boxed, instant mashed potatoes from the dollar store.

I'm a xennial, but I went from being more into religion than my parents, getting people to come get me and take me to church until I had a car and more, to Atheist (with a weird neopagan interlude in my early 20s). Both sets of my parents, on the other hand, swung back more to religion to some degree or another (though both have at least one parent that is more into what they think the Bible says vs what it actually does).
I've been to Italy. Still really love Detroit style pizza. When I was in Italy (late '90s), none of us realized that pepperoni was an English name that didn't exist in Italy. We got a pizza with a bunch of kinds of peppers on it at this place in Rome. Was still great, though.
You should probably check the wiki or something for Ohio Valley; it's definitely not like what I had in the Miami Valley and is from out by Steubenville.
As a General American speaker, all three of those are the same vowel for me, but I don't think that's true in a lot of the world (and also not in at least part of the US).
Japan kinda seems like they’ve always had more appreciation for small cars
I got a motorcycle and not a car purely because of the tight corners with stone walls and other insanity that is Tokyo street size.
Kei cars were meant to wear the roads less, be more fuel efficient (we import a lot of the various fuels we use), etc.
I actually am buying a farm in northern Japan and probably will end up buying a kei truck (though I'm debating buying a van instead, but money is super tight right now). Engine power and heating/AC are definitely factors to think about.
