My last job got mad because I scored 100% on my drug test. You just can't please some people!View attachment 2034292
I feel like this applies to just about everyone here.
I despise modern trends in home appliances. This isn't even satire, they do make toilets without a manual flush: https://www.deervalleybath.com/products/dv-1s0159
"Hello, Customer Service? Someone hacked my smart toilet! Now, instead of flushing, it plays 'La Cucaracha' and shoots out wet confetti!"I despise modern trends in home appliances. This isn't even satire, they do make toilets without a manual flush: https://www.deervalleybath.com/products/dv-1s0159
"Oh, the power is out, hang on, let me go get my battery bank so I can flush the toilet. . . "
I would quickly and easily trade ALL of my guns to have my youth and health back (before I screwed up my spine when I was 17) - assuming I could keep the rest of my net worth, and even then, if I still had the experience, knowledge & wisdom I have now, I could quickly earn that wealth back.View attachment 2034751
This isn't even funny. It just hits so close it hurts. "My youth! My youth! My kingdom for my youth!"
...And then I realize they I never could have afforded as many guns as I have now in my youth and I am OK with the world again. Getting old does have it's perks.
Under those conditions I think you would be stupid not to take "youth," because at that point you have a massive advantage in experience that offsets any loss in accumulated wealth you have at this point. It's all in the assumptions, and I was talking about just going back with no advantages to relive everything again for the first time. I already did that once, and I don't see how doing it again without the benefit of experience will change all that much. I am in a pretty good place in life, all things considered, and while I have fond memories of my youth there is a lot of stuff (and people!) I have now that I did not have then.I would quickly and easily trade ALL of my guns to have my youth and health back (before I screwed up my spine when I was 17) - assuming I could keep the rest of my net worth, and even then, if I still had the experience, knowledge & wisdom I have now, I could quickly earn that wealth back.
It is knowing that I have at most maybe 15 years left and that already my health is slowly degrading even more than it was 15 years ago.
Time and age are the enemy and they always win. Maybe in another 100 years, medical science will progress enough to where humans can again double their lifetime and have the health they had at their "peak" or even middle age when they are a "senior" or "elderly" now.
Yeah - I was pretty foolish as a kid - I did not really wiseup until I got to my late 20s, and because of various responsibilities, I didn't really start making up for it until my late 30s.Under those conditions I think you would be stupid not to take "youth," because at that point you have a massive advantage in experience that offsets any loss in accumulated wealth you have at this point.
