We all age and die. What matters is what we do with our lives.

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

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

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You find different things in the different decades of life, or so is my experience.

Brush your teeth and don't burn yourself out at work is my recommendations, cheers!

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Me, after a horrific 20s: "Alright, the 30s are gonna be my decade!

... please... they have to be..."

[–] altialtiOSIBIL@feddit.dk 0 points 6 days ago

I’m pretty sure it’s the dying you dont want to go through, unless it’s rather quick.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

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

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

I used it to make a meme.

[–] Avg@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

The alternative is worse you know.

[–] redwattlebird@lemmings.world 7 points 6 days ago

It's been going down hill since I turned 25. I'm just closer to the end of the ride now.

[–] Tynox@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I dreamed how great I could achieve, but found out I am an ordinary person and it’s hard to manage my life. Now I admit how mediocre I am.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

oh god oh fuck

[–] missandry351@lemmings.world 2 points 6 days ago

Turning 35 this year

[–] robocall@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Maybe I should have a child or buy a house by 40. Idk.

[–] v_krishna@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Turned 40 this past week. Was just bemoaning that most of my company don't get the :holdontoyourbutts: Samuel L Jackson emoji in slack and now this.

[–] Hyphlosion@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

I’ve already got the Sunday blues. And I don’t have the money to cope with a midlife crisis.

Thanks.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Shh! Quiet everyone!

...

I can almost make out the words...

[–] SmokedBillionaire@sh.itjust.works 133 points 1 week ago (13 children)

Why would someone make this using AI when a still from the actual movie would have worked just fine?

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think it took like 10 minutes, 5 of which was loading the movie up and finding the right shot. How quickly does AI do it?

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 6 days ago

It depends on the service, but it's usually within a few seconds to a minute.

[–] dgdft@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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.

80s kid here: it's not that bad and mostly what you decide to make out of it. still playing magic the gathering, minecraft and irl boardgames :)

[–] protist@mander.xyz 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

80s kids play Minecraft? I was almost 30 when that was released and definitely missed that boat

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

As an 80s kid, hitting 40 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Shit that used to matter suddenly doesn't, like you flipped a lightswitch. You get new superpowers, and they're all bitchy. I recommend it to everyone.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

that was probably years ago

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

It wasn't that long ago. The survey was conducted 3-5 years ago iirc.

a kid born in the 90s or someone who was a kid in the 90s (born in the 80s)

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 35 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I've always considered it the latter.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 1 week ago

Same. It's about 90s culture, isn't it? I was born in the early 90s, I didn't consciously experience a lot of 90s things. My formative years were the 00s, therefore I'm not a 90s kid.

As someone who died at 28, spent six months in ICU fighting my way, I’m SO excited for 40! Growing old is a privilege, not everyone gets to

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

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

Did an AI try to recreate this image?

I was a kid and an adult in the 90s, this is so confusing 😅

Turned 40 last month and to be honest I'm kinda struggling with depression right now

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Sure, to an individual, the milestones seem stupid but they're the common milestones the average reach. Most people by 30 are married. Most by 40 have an established career and family. But to agree, who cares? We have one life and there's plenty of worry's to go around, so don't add keeping up with the Jones to the list.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

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 :).

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

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

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That just sounds like a Tuesday
