I'm fine with dying, eventually. It's aging I don't want to go through.

I typed up a complete rant about how i wasted away so much time to work, trying to obtain an income that's capable of getting me a house.

But now is the time to focus on what IS positive at the moment, like how i'm still happily together with the wife.

If i let the negavtives of the past take control, i'll just stumble down a deep hole again and i don't want that.

I used part of my life to read this comment, then write a response to it, and I'm not happy about it.

I used it to make a meme.

The alternative is worse you know.

I think you're right. Aside from screenshots showing it looks wrong, here's the actual scene: https://youtu.be/yZszK_M_9_Y

It's not there, unless I'm missing it.

A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.

I'm confused why someone would've recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it's possible.

This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.

As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.

But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there's 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?

For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.

Just made up numbers.

Of course, don't get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That's not the intent here.

At 38, 2 walks a day is helping, but I'm bouncing between anxiety and depressive symptoms. It beats drinking or meds!

Working out is also helping, but not as much as the sunshine. Good luck, fellow old fart :).

You age a day everyday, how you choose to group those ~14600 is up to you.

Have you considered eating an entire large pizza and drinking a case of beer about it?

Time for a mid life crisis then

I doubt you'll live to be 40!, but good luck all the same.

Yeah I never expected to even reach thirty with my self-destructing body and ever worsening mental health. Every year towards fourty is quite the achievement

Born in 1989. Whenever an older person says, “never get old!” I always say, “it’s better than the alternative!”

Well la dee da lease on life, some of us have joint problems and it's going to get worse

I remember a survey done years ago that people say 30s and 40s are the best years of their lives.

Seriously, I'm 41 and over the last year I've slowed slipped into fuck it mode. Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of things I care about, but so many little things I've just stopped caring about and my life is so much more relaxed because of it. It's amazing what hitting 40 can do to your mindset.

Or you can just smoke weed and drop acid in your 20s like I did, and get over a decade's head start on not giving a fuck. By age 30 I was no longer worried about every single thing; the substances I took gave me some perspective about how little everything in my life matters in the grand scheme of things.

I was wondering why it looked off. The skin has this "plastic wrap" sheen to it that every AI-generated human seems to have, and the raptor looks like a giant plastic toy.

It’s a useful way to dodge automated copyright flagging systems if you’re trying to churn out meme page content and crosspost it on many platforms.

Because using AI for even the most trivial tasks to accomplish the same thing quicker and far worse quality is the latest thing.
