When you’re sixty and hang around with any of the more recent generations…
I m not growing older; the world becomes younger
Cause 30 is old? Oof…
As you get older and interact with younger people, the more you see them make the same mistakes you did. Because they’re encountering the same problems with no experience or knowledge on how to handle them. Be a mentor to the younger folks.
You know that thought experiment where you have a time machine and can go back in time and tell younger you how to avoid all those mistakes you made…ya know, don’t date that person, don’t go to that party, don’t drop out of that class, don’t be afraid of that bully?
Yeah, younger you would 100% ignore older you’s advice because you’re old.
I think it’s less that 30 is old and more that that is about the age your start to realize the age difference.
You can live most of your twenties and still feel somewhat connected to people plus or minus 5 years. However when you hit 30 you start to have more in common with people who are 40 than people who are 20.
That said I didn’t really have this experience until I was in my late 30s and the little track suit crews with their broccoli cuts showed up. I’m just a late bloomer I guess.
I went to college in my mid-twenties and all my peers thought I was a geezer.
They also apparently thought of themselves as children, because they wanted to get the police involved any time I attempted to socialize. I hope they all get treated like children for the rest of their lives, since that is apparently what they were demanding.
Fffff… I realized this a while ago, I’m 54.
30 plus is when you start noticing the mental gap with the younger kids in certain areas
The warranty expires as soon as you hit 25.
25 fucked with me mentally, but late thirties is when you actually start breaking down.
I had some things start failing at 35, but recovered a bit and feel better now at 45.
But I quit my soul crushing desk job career and had a kid in those intervening years too.
So basically I traded financial security for healthy life and family time.
Thanks for the hope homie.
Anyone over 25 is a chopped and washed unc, on god.
I’d much rather be considered washed than unwashed, so that’s good
Unfortunately, being washed is unintuitively quite bad.
I’m assuming that’s a truncated version of “washed out” or “washed up”
What if i only hang dry?
Dry clean only
Around 25 you have to interact with all ages, and everyone starts to blend.
I just learned that gohan means rice.
Oolong (the pig), Yamcha (another pig) and Puerh are all types of tea !.
Gohan, Vegeta(ble), Raditz (radish), Nappa (cabbage), Bro(co)ly and all of the saiyans are named after food. Goku’s real name is Kakarot. His father is Bardock, etc.
Cooler and Frieza are obvious, they get to be where food gets to die after being forgotten.
Ten Shin Han is a dish with crab (or shrimp, I don’t remember)
Piccolo is named after an instrument, so were the other demons (Drum, etc.)
Bulma comes from Bloomers, a type of female underwear. Trunks are the male equivalent.
Bididi Babidi Boo ! Is the formula used by the good godmother (or whatever her name may be) in Cinderella.
I think I must have forgotten some characters, but you get the gist of it.
A wide cross-section of Dragonball and DBZ characters are named after food, often via some manner of pun. Goku is probably just slightly more literally minded about this than others.
Notable exceptions are Piccolo, Mr. Popo, and… infamously… Bulma.
I’m in my late 30’s but visibly pass for late 20’s.
Skincare, not-smoking, standing desk & walking everywhere, and avoiding UV by being a fucking perpetual indoor nerd. (My diet isn’t too horrible either but its not great)
I don’t relate to anyone, 20 year olds, 30 year olds, 40+ year olds. They might as well all be aliens. So it doesn’t matter that much.
Ouch my neck
There’s a reason homie was known as “master”.
