Maybe I'm a retard and my brain is slow, but how the f**k do you keep up
with all these emails and have any time for programming, cooking,
working, hiking, possibly a relationship with opposite sex?


Well, for one thing, skip the emails and use the GMane News server
interface to the mail list instead!
This particular list is in gmane.comp.compilers.free-pascal.social for
example.

Then you will get a threaded view and can easily navigate quickly
between the various posts. You see immediately to which sub-branch of
a discussion a response was made etc etc.
And you do not clutter your inbox so you miss important real emails to
you.

while i understand what you are saying, i always get a huge belly laugh when someone says anything about cluttering an inbox... that's just crazy when you have filters that can easily move new mail to its own folder for reading... each of the FPC related mailing lists comes into my thunderbird and is filtered to its own (sub)folder where the messages are read in threaded mode... it is faster and available to me even when i'm offline... plus i have a local copy of all the messages so i can search historically if desired...
