Older guy here. I have noticed that now when I look a beautiful young women I feel envy rather than lust. My thoughts go to wishing I was young again rather than wishing I could “tap dat ass” or whatever. Realizing that made kinda sad, NGL.
It’s not lile that. I have no regrets, it’s just that I am getting older. Shit hurts all the time or doesn’t work as well as it used to. I am tired and the weight of a lifetime of memories is starting to get heavy. I am the same guy I was at ~21. In thirty years you will be the same guy you are today, but younger people will look at you different. I skateboard, I surf, I snowboard, etc as I have for forty years, but now I am not a dude doing dude things, I am a curiosity or “an inspiration”. I can’t go to a concert or a club to enjoy myself as I always have because now I am the weird old guy in the club. Nevermind that I have been listening to “EDM” since the 80’s. It just sucks that I just can’t be me without it being weird.
As far as advice, you know what to do. Eat well (little to no proceased food, way less meat, more veggies, etc) exercise regularly, stay active, and drink lots of water. Also, play hard AND work hard for yourself.
Just keep prioritizing yourself, your well being and your future. You won’t regret investing in yourself. (Ugh, I sound like a mindfulness infomercial)
EDIT: When it comes to adventure time, not everything needs to be epic. A few years ago a friend I have known since highschool told me that one of the most significant moments in her life was just us sitting quietly on the beach. No conversation. We just sat and took the world in. Just, try not to sleepwalk through it all.
I am 51, so Gen-X, but I have been a skater, surfer, gamer and chronically online most of my life (BBS old schooler!). In other words, my speak has always included current terms which I use unironically. Except rizz. Rizz is just cringe AF.
There is no such thing as generational slang. There is just slang.
wanting to hop into the world of linux on a dual boot method (one of my favorite games unfortunately cannot be run on linux at all, and it’s a gacha. I don’t want to gamble with my account being banned, so I’m keeping windows for it specifically.) this’ll be my second go at it, I used Pop!_OS briefly but had some issues...
My first choice is Pop!_OS because my graphics cards are NVidia, but you said that you don’t like their DE. My second choice is LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). It is boring and stable and gets out of your way.
I am 51, bi, and to this day I am not comfortable discussing my sexuality. I don’t think young people understand how different things are now when compared to just fifteen years ago.
Apple gets a free service that would cost an insane amount of money if they were to pay API fees or build their own data centers and models…
All true.
OpenAI gets free advertising by being included in millions of Apple devices.
Also true but woefully incomplete. They also get millions of Apple devices and users to train their models at no cost. When I say you are the product, I mean that Apple sold access to you and everything you do to OpenAI in exchange for OpenAI functionality at no extra charge. I have no doubt that Apple will make a best efforts to anonymize data, but OpenAI absolutely will have deep access.
How do you shave your balls? Every time I’ve tried with my trimmer it pinches and tears my sack and I’m too traumatized to try it again unless there’s a full proof bloodless method. Usually I just pluck as many as I can tolerate while I’m sitting around watching YouTube or somethin. But it’s such a pain (literally)....
I highly recommend the “Philips Norelco OneBlade Face + Body Hybrid Electric Trimmer and Shaver”. The attachment pictured on the Amazon link is the trimmer with skin guard. I recommended using it for the bulk of the work when dry, then hopping into the shower, lathering up, and giving everything a thorough pass with a good disposable razor. I like the “Schick Xtreme 3 Sensitive” for that. You want to do this in a hot shower so that your sack relaxes and you can tug the skin. That will give you smooth surfaces to shave.
Personally, I recommend shaving the taint while you are at it. Taint hair can help retain smell. Missed Wipe & Ball Butter is not a smell combo anyone needs when all they want is to go down on you.

I am a 51 year old bisexual man. It is difficult to properly put into perspective the progress that has been achieved. Listing major accomplishments like gay marriage doesn’t really capture the difference. Even non-queer people that cared for you saw you as different. I have been married for more than half my life and I can honestly say that back then my wife was with me in spite of my sexuality, but it was always something she worried about. It was like that with all who knew I was bi, and full closet for the rest. Now it feels as controversial or impactful as stating your favorite colour.
So, if hateful people ever make you feel that things are worse today and that you don’t belong, just remember that no so long ago, even your loved ones could make you feel like you didn’t belong, even if they didn’t mean to.
PS: Don’t even get me started on getting hate from gay friends for being bi.
Me, who completely nuked twelve years worth of Reddit posts and comments which were often one of, if not the only relevant search result to an extremely niche problem.
Nothing is 100% but my comments were first replaced with excerpts from books in the public domain, twice. Then I went back a third time and replaced the comments with gibberish, then delete. Most of the comments I find still active are just the excerpts from the books. They read like plain English, so it is very difficult for an AI, or even a contractor, to pick up on the fact that it is worthless.
If it’s main value of the waterfall is tourism, and if the water is needed downstream anyway, why not start the water diversion before the waterfall? Ultimately, all China is doing is giving everyone a false sense of security by masking the impact climate change is having on them.
