2017-12-09 at 6:07 PM UTCHow does one deal with the crippling depression of getting old, watching your childhood/teenage friends get old/die and watch as everything you knew and loved disappears?
I'm really hoping that they just nuke everything soon so I can start over and relive this timeline.
There should be a mass apocalypse every timeline when I hit 17. -
2017-12-09 at 6:10 PM UTCuhh well i'm dealing with it by taking drugs, regularly and learning things about reality that really don't matter but are interesting nonetheless, and going to the farmers market. anyone here ever made fermented vegetables? it's really easy and if you ferment spicy peppers with chinese 5 spice that shit is fucking delicious.
anyways i just found like $60 in my room and it's a sunny saturday morning so i'm about to go ride my bike to the farmers market and make it rain so i can ferment peppers and make hot sauceThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2017-12-09 at 6:33 PM UTCUhh, it's called maturity. You grow up and become something responsible. In my teenage years, I was a wild, drug-addicted freakshow. Being arrested every other month, overdosing every week, always into some scandal and scheme and plot. I was young and dumb (and full of cum, too).
I'm older now. I own my own business along with my wife. Haven't been arrested, ticketed, hell, even pulled over in nearly a decade (since I got out of prison). I've made sweeping life changes for the better. Life is good as fuck right now.
I get what you're saying though. To remember what it is like to be a teen with few responsibilities. Care-free. I get that. I sometimes miss it, too. The fact of the matter is, those days are gone. Today is now. Live for today, prepare for tomorrow. No one wants to be 40 and looking back like, "Dang, I shouldn't have been a daydreaming faggot all of my life". -

2017-12-09 at 6:41 PM UTCIt's not about responsibilities or "growing up"
it's about living the life you know and love, then having it all taken away.
saying u have to change everything about urself once you hit a certain biological age is a defeatist attitude
I guess I just need to accept that I really will end up living like the movie "Blast from the past".
What are you going to do once mind-uploading and longevity/"Age reversal" is available, I know I will use to to heal myself and go on living my life the way I know and want it to be.
This is like being Palestinian, are you just going to accept defeat and allow the jedis to take over your homeland or will you rise up and smite the hooked nosed beast with all your mite.
Aging is jediry. -
2017-12-09 at 6:45 PM UTCThis universe is garbage
that something so beautiful can come to existence then one moment later be crushed into nothingness
like bringing a beautiful loli into life only to sell her out to sex slavery and satanic ritual sacrifice
like creating the 6th generation of video games only to replace it with smartphones and AAA jedi slideshows -
2017-12-09 at 6:53 PM UTCYou can live life in child-like wonder all you wish to. No one stops you from that. If that fulfills your life, then do it.
Thing is, there are certain things your very existence requires. Food, water, shelter. Sure, you can live under a bridge, drink from a river, discarded water bottles with a few sips left in it, collect rain, and you can eat wild animals or trash to sustain yourself, all while having that beautiful child-like wonder in your mind. No one is stopping you from doing that. However, you probably won't be enjoying yourself too much.
If you want more..."material" things, this requires a job. Having a job requires responsibility, discipline, skill, etc. These are traits developed with maturity. You can have a job and live in your mother's basement, sure. Easy-peasy. It's harder to have a job, manage the mortgage, car payment, car insurance, health insurance, electrical bill, phone/internet bill, cellular bill, TV bill, water bill, trash collection bill, taxes, gas, groceries, etc. This, too, requires some level of maturity.
Eventually, you grow out of the things that you were once obsessed with as a child because you're too busy working, paying debts, making adult decisions, etc. It's a natural transformation. -
2017-12-09 at 6:54 PM UTCWho will pay for your mind-uploading and age reversal?

What an awful way to live.
It doesn't have to be this way though, once we kill the oligarchs and jedis and implement a more socialist system with technology doing the hard work we will be free.
It doesn't have to be this way. -

Thats badass I've never fermented vegetables but I've been looking into it recently, seems pretty easy and fun / healthy -
2017-12-09 at 10:02 PM UTCI'm almost 30 too. Most of the people around me especially the past year or so have either died or been sent to prison. The remaining few are so horribly screwed they might as well be dead/prison. My best friend I ever had got out of prison after serving 7 of a 5 year sentence(that's backwards correctly) I was hanging out with his little brother a little before this but he became one of those annoying whiny ass heroin addicts who cries about being sick all the time so I really don't fuck with him and haven't even seen my friend because of it.
Idk I live in a small drug addled Appalachia town where dreams pretty much die before they are fully hatched. But I'm the man if you didn't know. -
2017-12-09 at 10:46 PM UTCAs you get older some thing get better and some things get worse,its all a matter of perspective.
I work for a guy that turned 30 last spring and he will never be happy.
He always wants more,his cup will never be filled because once its filled he wants a bigger cup.
A bigger house a bigger boat more more more.
As you get older your dick does not operate the way it did when you are young.
When your young its like a mind meld between your dick and your brain but when you hit 40 or so something breaks.
You look at a pretty girl and expect a Bonner but you get NOTHING.

2017-12-10 at 12:18 AM UTCIm sad that I dont give a shit about legos anymore, when they used to give me so much pleasure. Im sad that wasted so much time being broke and unproductive. It sucks to think that when I was young and strong and good looking and healthy, I couldve been fucking the chicks from the water polo team. It sucks that Im too old to rock jorts. I miss tagging and juvenile delinquency. I miss being nervous about stupid things - egging a house, kissing a girl, bombing a quiz, what clothes i wearing, if i was going to say something stupid and embarrass myself. I miss smoking a cigarette on top of an old 1930's building, and watching the sun come up at the golden gate bridge. I miss being fearless. I miss shitty 2000's alt-rock and Super Smash Bros tournaments.
Yeah i mean if life was fair, our youth would last 60 years. But it isnt like that. I mean you either deal with it or you dont. You can life off the land like Varg Vikernes or whatever- be beholden to no one. You can struggle and hunt or grow your own food, build your own house. You can be satisfied in knowing that in your new life each action and exertion has meaning and purpose- your survival. Or, you can try to create new goals and find things that make you happy. Thing is, Its really easy to be a dreamer- an uncompromising idealist- when you have someone else housing, clothing, feeding us.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
