inter-generational friends have that dgaf energy you just don’t get from thems basic homogeneous groups.
Lol like I can still squat like that.
Ohh I can squat like that, but getting back up is going to look WAAAAY different than the 20YO’s doing it
199— no 198----no
They only wish they could be as hip as us geezers
Cause 30 is old? Oof…
I have combat boots - one owner - older than that.
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.
Damn, I don’t feel closer to 20 or 40, I feel like I’m in the twilight zone
I went to college in my mid-twenties and all my peers thought I was a geezer.
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.
Be a mentor to the younger folks.
They’ll just tell you to mind your own business and “stop being judgemental.”
There’s certain caveats to be certain, but be available and willing to dispense information. Even if just one person listens to you, that’s someone who might get things better for themselves.
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.
Fffff… I realized this a while ago, I’m 54.
The warranty expires as soon as you hit 25.
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”
Being washed is at least kinda good because that implies there was a period where you weren’t. Rather have that than never needing washing in the first place ✊
What if i only hang dry?
Dry clean only
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.
My early 50s had me in the best shape of my life, running 6 miles or biking 25-50 miles nearly every day and being ripped and weighing less than I had since I was a teenager. I’m nearing 60 now and arthritis is creeping into all my joints, though. The breakdown happens eventually no matter how successfully you stave it off.
Thanks for the hope homie.
Around 25 you have to interact with all ages, and everyone starts to blend.
30 plus is when you start noticing the mental gap with the younger kids in certain areas
When you’re sixty and hang around with any of the more recent generations…
What’s your mindset, now, and how has it most recently changed? Like how do you see the world, and how does that differ from your most previous iteration of self?
I m not growing older; the world becomes younger
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.
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.
So what happened to Krillin? Or rather… Kuririn?
Here’s some characters you missed, but don’t worry, these ones are pretty subtle and only the most hardcore fans and linguists noticed:
There’s a bunch of characters named Android <number>. You might think that they are all members of the Android family and just really like numbers so use those as names, but that’s not the case. They are all actually androids and their numbers indicate the order they were made.
And the character Cell isn’t named after a prison theme like most viewers suspect, but he is named such because he was built using cells from many other characters.
Also, Roshi means old teacher, but I’m sure everyone already knew that.
Kamehameha was a Hawaiian king
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.
Ouch my neck
There’s a reason homie was known as “master”.
