Your actions, whether good or bad, will eventually affect you. Luck, which is defined as the factors that are beyond your control, such as genetics, family upbringing, and place of birth, is a major determining factor in life.
“Shrieking idiot” has been an unsettlingly popular role for grown-ass adults to play in American politics, especially since 2008 or so. Sure, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party did it earlier, but it really kicked up a notch in response to the election of a black president.
That I started to not care about latest tech gadgets, and I just want to use old reliable ones that just work for my use cases. In fact I still don’t understand the point of tablets, except some rare use cases, and I still prefer my desktop computer to anything else.
I’ve felt the same about tablets since at least when the MacBook Air first came out⁰. I was in my early 20s. I don’t think that particular opinion has much to do with age. Tablets are a compromise device. They’re in between a phone and a computer but they’re worse than both.
I saw that change happen with my boss.
He got an iPhone 3G when it came out and then every year when Apple would release a new phone he HAD to have the latest one as soon as it came out.
Once Apple released the iPhone X he changed his tune and got fed up with the UI changing around and unfamiliarity and decided to stick with his 8 and whatever version of iOS until he was forced to replace it.
Huh? iPhone 8 is still supported and good to go. What did force him to change it?
How quick your body wears out. I’m only 41 and my body is already used up. It is going to be hell for 30yrs from now on.
The secret is to keep moving. Lift heavy things and run slow and long. Use it or lose it.
Yea i know but i can’t. I had 2 back surgeries. I also never could do cardio, it makes me vomit even when I was a kid. And since the last 5 years it gives me a migraine as well.
I used to lift weights because it is less cardio and had no problems with it. But then came the back problems and now I’m useless.
Eye sight deteriorates, tinnitus, broken back and wounds don’t heal as fast as they used to. I hate getting old and obsolete.
47 and all is well. My take is it has to do with activity and such.
At least that’s what I observe in my peer group. Those who were in my running group in early 20s, and stuck to at least some level of activity are holding up well. Those who don’t have already experienced serious medical care for this and that.
Yep, if this is how painful 38 is, I don’t think I want to know what 68 is going to look like without a bionic body.
When I was a kid I thought adults knew stuff and had life figured out. I grew up to realize that no one knows shit.
Same. Grown ups have all the answers. Until I became one and learned there are 3 types of grownups: -people who think they have the answers and think you are the dumbass -people who know they don’t know stuff and only sometimes think you are the dumbass -people who don’t know stuff, don’t know what they don’t know, could not give a crap about what they should know and you are in their way.
