it's amazing how much the general deterioration of your body accelerates post-30, even if you do everything right

it seems like only yesterday I could just skip an entire day of sleep and not feel that bad, now losing even a few hours feels like death

Unless you have cancer, you're supposed to need less sleep when you're older.

I just turned 50 a couple of weeks ago. Report back when you turn 45 - that's when everything starts turning to poo poo.

well tbh by the time 45 rolls around for me we'll probably have robot bodies or clones of a younger version of your body with consciousness transfers and poo poo

or at the very least jetpacks

whats it like friend? cradle me in your strong 50 year old arms and tell me there is nothing to worry about

Honestly the 30's are the best age. Generally, you have stability and some money to spend on important, fun stuff and as long as you aren't burdened by kids you can have a rocking good time before your body starts to gently caress you over. Even the early 40's are pretty cool if you take decent care of yourself. After that, there are too many maladies waiting to attack that it's tough to escape them. I'm actually pretty satisfied and hopeful about retiring some day and working because I want to, not have to.

What's it like being so close to death? Do vultures follow you around?

No vultures, but the shadow of the reaper is occasionally visible in the corner of my eye. It's not like I'm as old as Genesplicer. :corsair:

I was promised jet packs 30 years ago. It was a loving lie. Major disappointment.

Yeah but that poo poo will only be available to the super rich, creating a race of immortal demi-gods who will place their robotic boots firmly on the necks of the poor and never, ever let up.

Sorry about your optimism.

Wizard? No I just wear long robes because I worship Satan. Easy mistake to make, no worries.

We've had jetpacks since before I was born. They just suck. Max flight time is less than 30 seconds. Fuel is expensive.

Flying cars have been around a good, long time as well, and we still don't have them in common usage. Good thing, too. I've seen the way most people drive. I'd really wouldn't want them flying over my house.

I'm guessing the government is behind the conspiracy to keep us from getting flying cars.

yeah but that has to do with experience and an acquired game sense I think. If you could take that 32 year old brain and put it in a 22 year old body I think that would be the ultimate

For the love of god also avoid things like tanning beds and going outside without adequate sun protection in your 20s, skin damage is one the easiest way to look older.

Thank you! I had steak and it almost took my mind off the proximity of death.

I would also like a hoverboard, though.
