    Not me. As I gotten older I’ve actually somehow managed to give less fucks about what other people do with their lives. Shits not my business

        You posted a statement claiming to know how older people think - he was correcting your arrogant assumption.

          Well, it was more of a shower thought than a statement. But it is interesting that you’ve attributed such specific intent behind it.

            It is also interesting how twice in this thread you express interest on the fact that people comment, as a way to tell them “nice argument, unfortunately I’ve already depicted you as the soyjack” BUT without having the courage to explicitly do so.

            Relevant example for fellow interest-minded people:

        I don’t see your implied contradiction here.

        They said they’re not interested in other people’s shot whilst responding to a shower thought about their shit. 💁‍♂️

          you know I have been reading this which got me to read his user over all and its close but his argument here has convinced me. Im going to be a good old person and not interact with him. Im blocking and moving on.

            Hmmm. This is a very interesting approach to a minor, arguably self-inflicted inconvenience.

    I’ve had the opposite experience. Old people fart all the time and just don’t give a shit. Unless middle age is what you mean by “older”, in which case I agree.

    I think the trope of ‘boomers’ etc is largely bullshit. I know plenty of old folks who are largely supportive of young people and are getting a rough deal from 20 somethings who assume they’re dicks because they don’t get really interact with them. The folks who first marched against racism and homophobia are well twilight years.

    Have you gotten older? How many “older” people have you interviewed to come to this assumption?

    I dunno, personally, I think I’ve stopped letting things work me up.

    The only things that seem to get louder are my joints and back.

    Did some IT contracting once for an ancient miser-lich geezer. 3-piece suit in the house type fella, prolly some baron of a technology we’ve forgotten how to pronounce or some shit, lol, dude was comically old.

    Blew ass just constantly and had no idea. Smiling and exchanging pleasantries? Imagine a few notes on a keyboard, an amateur noodling around - textbook, permanently fungible farts. No acknowledgement or apology.

    Turning and walking across the room? A growing crescendo, with budding themes that begin to hint at the grace and mastery of the performance to come.

    Reaching and lowering to a position of rest - ah, the virtuoso has now begun. May we listen, and weep.

    It was a surreal experience. Like a deaf, grinning, be-suited Mongolian throat singer, if one of the otherworldly tones came from his butt.
