Nah, either I’ll crack the code to some amazing tech that could help us live forever, or I’ll have enough time to Sacco Molisch something big before I go. Something I’ve always dreamt of and you’d think me crazy
Nah, reading Greek philosophy rid me of any concern about it >It is not the young man who should be considered fortunate, but the old man who has lived well, because the young man in his prime wanders much by chance, vacillating in his beliefs, while the old man has docked in the harbor, having safeguarded his true happiness.” - Epicurus >For certainly old age has a great sense of calm and freedom; when the passions relax their hold, then, as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one mad master only, but of many. The truth is, Socrates, that these regrets, and also the complaints about relations, are to be attributed to the same cause, which is not old age, but men's characters and tempers; for he who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age, but to him who is of an opposite disposition youth and age are equally a burden. - Cephalus
When you care about aging, you suffer twice. First you suffer the process of watching yourself grow old, then you suffer old age itself. When you don't care, you only suffer once.
Based. Philosophy starting with the Greeks and moving up to the Romantics should be covered in every high school for this reason.
Are you saying he changed his ways or he did kill himself
I'm pretty sure anon is referring to auto-erotic asphyxiation. His friend busted the fattest nut of his life and made sure it was so by ending his life directly afterwards.
No, because the act of aging in the internet age is largely misunderstood. There are hordes of people who think your body just shuts down at 30, which doesn't even begin to make sense.
But everyone knows that once you turn 30 you have to use roids to maintain your muscle, you lose the ability to learn anything new, the only women interested in you will be 40+ single mothers of niglets, you'll have to jump on a wienertail of drugs to keep your hairline from maturing, and you'll need to explore getting limb lengthening or other cosmetic surgeries
50 + a bit anon here. No need to fear - it comes for us all. I've lost physical speed and my recovery time is at least 50% slower, but I'm stronger and a lot calmer and balanced.
Downsides are your kids thinking you an old fool and not listening to advice until they get their fingers burnt. Also, any infatuation with women in their mid twenties gets frowned upon (if not by the women concerned...)
I try not to give advice (see above) but do try to retain some kind of intellectual curiosity, otherwise your brain will age horribly, and the rest of you with it.
It’s been hard coping with kids seeing me as an old man sometimes but it’s also kind of nice ngl tbh fampai
I never gave a frick about trends or being hip with it though so maybe the transition was easier for me than others
no, the older i get the stronger my slow-twitch muscle fibers will be
No I'm already old so I don't care.
Not terribly. It comes for us all. No reason to make a fuss about it.
no
nah, gonna kill myself when I hit 40.
>nah, gonna kill myself when I hit __
why do people love saying this?
I had a friend who said that shit and meant it, auto-erotic'd himself right before his 30th bday.
Are you saying he changed his ways or he did kill himself
No, you won’t, you pseudointellectual homosexual

Yes, but there's nothing I can do about it. I just need to take care of myself now and hope the hand that's dealt to me later reflects my work.

Not as afraid as I should be. Kinda wasted my early 20s

No. It's not fear. More like disappointment? But you only get one life. May as well make the best of it.
I went bald in my early 20s and have been a dead man walking ever since, I'm really just waiting out the clock at this point
I'm afraid of black people.
Black people are afraid of me. HH my brothers
