  • Unfortunately, anti aging is exercise(even light calisthenics like yoga and walking outside) , eating healthy(preferably as vegetarian as possible for heart health) , never stop learning and socializing.

    Pro aging is modern living: sedentary, eating highly processed foods, being a shut in just consuming content.

    From my experience, both are positive feed back loops. Being sedentary makes you tired. You are too tired to cook, so you eat what’s easy. It’s easier to stay home than going out. You dont sleep well from stress so you’re tired all day, over eating, and drinking as much caffeine as you’re body can handle.

    Exercise gives you energy, better mood, reduces stress, helps you sleep better, which means you’re more likely to cook healthy, go out and socialize etc, etc.

    It sucks because there’s inertia and, even when I was working out 3 or 4 times a week, I never felt happy about going to exercise until about halfway through or coming home.

    I work in a hospital and see people with really bad quality of life. I know that obviously people in hospitals are sick, but with dementia in their 50s and 60 year olds that are just strong enough to walk to the bathroom with assistance I hope I die before any serious problems come up.

    Why must life be so hard!





  • In my year learning French at school, I befriended someone in toulouse and we’d have quick occasional video chats. The face she made while i was talking made it seem like i was doing nails on chalkboard. She visibly squirmed a bit.

    My teacher on the other hand noticed I pronounced certain words in a toulousian accent and was pleased. Apparently it’s a nice accent. It’s too bad i didn’t keep going. Could have visited France and terrorized the locals by forcing them to listen to me speak.








  • That’s how i decide if im taking something to the mechanic or not. Gotta remove the exhaust headers just to reach the starter, then figure out how to physically remove it and put the new one in vs $350 and probably be ready by end of day. $2k for a new clutch or 16 hrs cursing, busting knuckles because you got almost a meter of extensions to reach the top 3 bolts. About 6 hrs were spent just laying on the floor crying, contemplating insurance fraud, murder of the engineer who designed it, or cursing my lot in life.
