2 decades with my partner yes there are lots of unpleasant parts but sometimes you want someone to hold you and say everything is going to be alright and mean it. Is it incredibly frustrating my partner is asexual? Yes, but ultimately I sleep next to my best friend and know im safe and with someone I can trust.
I literally use food as examples when talking about work. The whole fast food, cooking, planning market trips. Its all relevant to everyone.
Example:
Sorry I dont sell chocolate cones! you shouldnt have sold a 25 million project promising them in 3 months. Ask them if they take waffle for temp use while I talk to vendor.
About 15 years ago I used to work in Murcia with in a very rural area. I remember this old man talking about how Obama is a terrible leader and real leadership is not talking about the previous guy in charge.
I wonder if he is rolling in his grave or of he will support this bs.
So my experience is a bit different as I had teen mom with ~5-7 year gaps between each siblings. Personally gaps are real nice if you have a choice. Less competition. But I think the real answer is team activities that are not competitive. I played comp stomp with siblings regularly. Taught my brother to play rts at 3. We still play together 25 years later. My youngest sibling just wants to do their own thing and the older ones didn't encourage playing together so she's more of an outsider. I remember she complained about it when she was like 5 but I wasn't around much then to force it. I told the others to step up but they never did. If they did I wonder of things would be better between all of us.
Lol is vampirism an option?
All option are basically losing your humanity. I'll list some non magical ones:
Genetic enginerring: ok maybe i can improve my form by fixing the DNA deteriorating but how much memory will I be able to retain?
Psychosis is going to suck.
Cloning/body swap with memory transfer:
Basically all im doing is killing a version of me for a new one to start. Id have to be real chill with that or kill my self right as it starts to have continuity. Play SOMA for more insight.
I know my SO could not handle that. Id get used to but not really ideal.
Also issue of how much memory can be retained.
Digital upload in quantum computer:
Your physical form still dies but this one is my favorite but with a few "*" Because this can easily be condemned a version of yourself to hell. Basically your digital soul needs complete control of your environment and be able to escape to real mechanical or biological body on whim. Being restricted like in Upload will be nightmare. Then you need to be able to resolve having multiple overlapping memory if you have versions out and about doing stuff. Then you can multi task and consolidate memories without versions of you going rouge.
Brain in jar with human meat puppet
This one is similar to others but my original brain didnt die. This will similar to Jimmy in hard core Henry. Same issues with psychological aging but least your original self still exists.
Can't think of any others within realm of "science".
Lets go!!!
