Seriously depends on your own life expectancy
Sadly he has the best doctors available.
Did Burt Reynolds and Scott Bakula?..wait…
He too shall pass away…
Sometimes it only passes when you die, but that doesn’t mean it won’t pass.
I’m out of the loop on this one. Can someone cue me in on who this is, and what the significance and context is?
So instead of tweets now people put their little comments as the caption to a short form video where they just stare at the camera and then other people screencap that and share it like an image macro, but instead of socially awkward penguin it’s this fuckin guy.
Maybe there’s another layer if you know who he is but I think it’s just some fucking guy and the point is the words and his facial expression/body language.
That roof awning will pass on staying up before this fuckup settles.
“You too shall pass.”
Here’s your eta: η
It gets better when you get used to this problem and something far worse comes along, making you wish you just had the original problem.
Like a kidney stone.
For a ~25yo male in the US I believe the median is 50 more years
So I threw some stones into a bowl of old boston tea leaves soaked in essential oils, boiled in a hand carved Amethyst geode bowl over burning piles of sage and dried aged red oak shavings for 6 hours under the red moon and it said about 5 to 15 years minimum.
2040-2041, give or take.
I’m not even kidding.
Probably right.
I’m half a century old or so, I’ve seen the cycles the US goes through and the world broadly. I know that the pendulum always swings, and sometimes it swings further in one direction than another, but that just means the back-swing is going to go further and harder. But those are generally 20 - 30 year cycles or so, that’s how long it takes for a new generation who forgot everything about their childhood to take the reigns and start the cycle over.
The thing that we need to shake off our species though is the idea of an “end.”
Your laundry never ends. Washing the dishes never ends. You never exercise so much you don’t need to anymore. You will always be moving forward in time and through periods of change. Yes, this too shall pass… to be replaced by new things that will also pass.
If we could get better about managing our present moment we wouldn’t need to keep staring out for some imagined end-of-the-road where everything is fine and we’re suddenly happy again for some reason. While you’re staring out looking for that, your current life and opportunity to find peace is just rapidly slipping past.
We don’t need to manage the present moment. The present moment is all we have and all we are.
You’re 100% right. Laundry never ends; laundry is a condition of life, laundry just is, there is no beginning or end. Our individual hydration or hunger never ends, it’s just a condition of our existence. It just is. It ends after we no longer need it for anything.
The pendulum swings in a sine wave modulation of a sine wave. Applying physics to the example was a terrible idea, probably by policy wonks with no background in physics.
May 2045 probably
I would bet close to then things are returning to a form of stability that might resemble something livable and where one would want to raise children. Sorta…
Elaborate
We’re in the first third of a generational transition phase, which happens throughout history all the time. The changes over the next few years will take a generation to remediate. Which, at that point, means the goal is not “going back” to something remembered, but seeking stability based on the context of 16-25 year-olds that are kids now who will need that stability to build on to survive. The Olds won’t be in any shape to rebuild anything.
Thanks!
The boomers will almost all be dead. I assume.
You’ll be that generations Boomers.
Ah right, here’s to that 🍻
Except my momma whom I’ll miss dearly 😭
They had their shot, and this is what they did with it. I agree, but just because they’re our parents doesn’t mean their generation made good decisions.
Oh noooo no no no. Totally not what I’m saying. Their generation fucked us. For sure.
I agree 100%, that’s what I’m saying. Don’t let the compassion for your family overwhelm your rational thoughts that confirm Boomers have fucked Earth royally. Millennials aren’t far behind (said as one).
Right, I wasn’t. I was just saying I love ma moms and I don’t want her to die ever, but that generation needs to go for the betterment of mankind, hopefully. (Probably not though.)
On a real note, that phrase is not about what’s happening around you, but how you feel about it.
“Accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
It’s the 12 step (serenity) prayer
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And matches to make it everyone’s problem.Obviously they’ve made some changes over the years
