One of the things I’d say to your first paragraph is that you’re never too old to learn something new. I’m a driving instructor and I’ve had learners who are over 60. Though, sadly I have seen first hand what you’re talking about. One lady I taught a few years ago at 62 years old had to stop taking lessons because her hip was going… Our last lesson was the last time I saw her 😭
From my perspective, I believe it is true. I’m only late 30s, and I’ve been filling my time with more “firsts” than ever before, but I can’t remember the last time I ever thought “damn, time is really dragging on today”.
I’ve got a relatively new career; I’ve been trying my hand at politics (was just 150 votes from winning an election this year!); I’ve been getting involved with volunteer work; I’ve gotten involved in activism, going to protests, anti-racism rallies, removing stickers, posters and flags placed to cause division and hate; I’ve been bonding with the most beautiful parrot my fiancée and I rescued; I’m teaching my son to drive; - the list goes on. My schedule is pretty relaxed, but whenever I look at the time of day I think “hell, how did that all go so quick?”.
I’ve been making a few mistakes just this week because my brain has refused to update the fact that we’re 5 days into July already and we’re no longer in mid June.
I dunno. Maybe it’s time perception, maybe I have early onset Alzheimer’s, or maybe I have early onset Alzheimer’s.
Officer: “What are you planning to do? Steal this thing?”
Thief: “Steal? No, no. I’ve come to take it back!”
But I will trust him with my life mere moments after meeting him!
Seat on the right with arm rests like the left I think would be the perfect combo.
Fantasy World was the one I was thinking of. I had the ZX Spectrum version!
The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy on MegaDrive I think is one I remember fondly as well - I had the 2-in-1 cart with Cosmic Spacehead which I also loved!
Must be peaceful up there.
Side note: Dizzy is fucking great. I should play it again!
Given Trump’s bullshit, frankly, I just want to come in here and appreciate the absolute beauty of our world and its neighbour. I really fear what’s about to happen.
ngl, I came in here specifically to jokingly remark something along the lines of “So they’re doing geometric chemtrails now?”
I stopped using it in 2018. Never looked back.
Random unexpected ponies, on my Lemmy? It’s more likely than you think!
Thanos was right in theory, incorrect in execution.
Given the tech we have even nowadays, it’s probably cameras/sensors tracking whether or not the operator is looking at the controls they’re using.
If you inspect closely, this unicorn has wings. That would make this an Alicorn!
What if I live in the UK? It’s pretty fucking shit here, too. Only real positive is that the Green Party are absolutely surging now. I’ve been Green for years, but I think I chose the best year to finally try and become a councillor. I live in hope that there are enough people left in this country with enough sense to vote someone in who actually gives a crap about fixing some of our problems, and not creating potential global wars…
I haven’t had that much hair since I was 19, lmao… 😭
She works at the Nazi factory, duh
No, I am the video game boy! I’m the one who wins!
