One of the things I’d say to your first paragraph is that you’re never too old to learn something new. I’m a driving instructor and I’ve had learners who are over 60. Though, sadly I have seen first hand what you’re talking about. One lady I taught a few years ago at 62 years old had to stop taking lessons because her hip was going… Our last lesson was the last time I saw her 😭
From my perspective, I believe it is true. I’m only late 30s, and I’ve been filling my time with more “firsts” than ever before, but I can’t remember the last time I ever thought “damn, time is really dragging on today”.
I’ve got a relatively new career; I’ve been trying my hand at politics (was just 150 votes from winning an election this year!); I’ve been getting involved with volunteer work; I’ve gotten involved in activism, going to protests, anti-racism rallies, removing stickers, posters and flags placed to cause division and hate; I’ve been bonding with the most beautiful parrot my fiancée and I rescued; I’m teaching my son to drive; - the list goes on. My schedule is pretty relaxed, but whenever I look at the time of day I think “hell, how did that all go so quick?”.
I’ve been making a few mistakes just this week because my brain has refused to update the fact that we’re 5 days into July already and we’re no longer in mid June.
I dunno. Maybe it’s time perception, maybe I have early onset Alzheimer’s, or maybe I have early onset Alzheimer’s.
Officer: “What are you planning to do? Steal this thing?”
Thief: “Steal? No, no. I’ve come to take it back!”
Thanos was right in theory, incorrect in execution.
Scotland do. I don’t know many other places where kilts are traditionally worn.
I’m sorry but I can never see things like this as uplifting.
What would be uplifting is seeing “previously underfunded school given enough financial resources by government so they don’t need to rely on charity for basic functionality”
I think it’s the attitude towards not having guard rails next to the canal: “Don’t cycle through the wet bit and you’ll be fine” 👍
No luck, buddy. We all know you have a tiny penis.
It’s all good 😂 and I think most of us here are tech savvy enough to understand how and why it happens. I’ve done it plenty myself in the past. 👍
My current quilt is 1.5 tog. It’s so thin it barely exists. It’s brilliant ❤️
Often, it’s not about the person you’re arguing against, it’s for the people watching who are on the fence.
If you can keep yourself calm, rational, and present convincing evidence, then you can save some people from falling into those conspiracy and religious holes from which they may never return.
Sometimes you get lucky and bring someone back from the brink.
It’s estimated about 2% of Americans believe Earth is flat, and a further 9% aren’t sure what shape it is.
2% of Americans is near 7,000,000 people. Near 40,000,000 don’t believe the Earth is a ball or are unsure.
Even if you can’t convince the 2%, that’s still roughly 33,000,000 people in America alone you could potentially help with critical thinking. We need all the help we can get.
Contradiction with religious folk is often boiled down to “if I don’t believe the contradiction exists then it must not exist!”

Guys, I think it’s $4.99 right now!
I know. I’ve only ever seen hatred for MTG for years on social media. Don’t get me wrong, MTG is definitely sucking some rich cock, but with how quick these new sets come and go they may as well install a revolving door!
Somewhere in the middle of the wilderness is a comfy seat with my name on it.
I will find this seat, and when I do, I will finally get around to being a novelist.
As a driving instructor myself: you’re the person I warn my learners about 👍
Honestly that stage of the game doesn’t last long enough. It’s the best part.
What I get from this: we eat broccoli before it reaches sexual maturation.
So you don’t enjoy eating fully grown broccoli, you enjoy eating prepubescent broccoli children.
I’m also realising that this is true of a lot of veg…
No, I am the video game boy! I’m the one who wins!
