requesting we have an age verification system by which olds and dumb babies are segregated and neither have to ever, ever deal with each other

this way when someone posts something really loving stupid or horrible we can take the guesswork out of "maybe they're just saying it because they're young and stupid vs. holy poo poo this is a grown person who actually thinks this thing"

You're already on the internet, this is as far from real socialization you're going to get short of locking yourself in a closet

Yeah, but I'm banking on dramatic advances being made to extend life, and also time travel, before I get that old.

I turned 39 this year. The midlife crisis is real.

I spent a huge chunk of my 20s and 30s indoors, playing everquest and world of warcraft, drinking soda, ordering takeout, and feeling GREAT. Super happy and healthy. Hell, I was flourishing.

Around 37 I started feeling lousy, out of shape, no energy, kinda depressed, all my old hobbies started to feel lame.

This past year I've been going to the gym a lot and getting outside a lot more. I feel a little better, maybe 10%? I wish I had stayed in better shape. All you 30 year old goons, don't wait so long like I did.

This guy knows what's up. :eng101:

They're gonna invent super cool cyborg bodies that only super rich people can afford. Right before you die they'll invent extensive gene therapy programs that extend life indefinitely that only rich people can afford

you're gonna die in the class wars of 2043 when people start to revolt against their immortal cyborg overlords

if u got some money to burn, no immediate family, and have vacation time u could just take a solo trip to one of those Mediterranean islands where ppl rave 24/7 like Ibiza or Majorca...or just go to Thailand. not a long term plan but it could give u some perspective and possibly change ur life

do u have any hobbies offline that allow u to express urself creatively, like painting or playing music? thats something small and easy that could help alot and without legal/health risks

Buy a Harley starter package. Around 30G for the bike, chaps and vest and stickers for your car. Another 10G to make your bike customized with official Harley aftermarket parts. Don't void that warranty! Make sure your bitch has a seat back for those poker runs too. Vroom!

Or you can do the same poo poo for half the price and get a non Harley. Sure the Harley guys will laugh at you, but you can laugh at them, while their bikes are constantly in the garage for repairs. :smug:

We don't live that long when you break it down in certain ways, I'm 360+ months old, might have 400 months left if I'm lucky. If things go right might live through a whole run of 5-6 more solid TV shows.

Please. 40 is so 12 years ago. See me when you turn 50. Do what I did. Go to Hawaii. Spend an entire day tramping around Kilauea volcano. Then go to Kona and swim with manta rays. Go visit sea turtles as they sun themselves on black sand beaches.

Or just lie on the beach and drink. That works, too.
