I have first-hand experience being a dumbass 24-year-old. A 24-year-old doesn't have experience being 30+. You've got to be an exceptionally gifted and worldly youngster to bridge that gap, and most aren't.
Call me an iconoclast, but I think respecting your elders is a good thing, generally speaking.

I get what you're saying and you're absolutely right, but obviously there's more to life than age, hence the "arrogance". I was (somewhat jokingly) talking about how I shouldn't dismiss someones opinion just because he's 10 (or in the future, 20, 30, 40) years younger, which, put that way, obviously sounds ridiculous in the first place. My post was really only more of a whimsical way to describe how despite that, I now start to understand that with increasing age it's very easy and tempting to just imagine that only a "couple" of years ago, you were already an "adult" when these were still kids, so what the hell do they know?!
In other random thoughts (I seem to be getting a lot of these lately): I hate hangeul. Technically I learned them and can somewhat read them (albeit with the proficiency of a 3yr old, not a korean one I might add), only because I wanted to be able to read names during survival shows, like when they reveal the rankings.
So I have this video open in the background and I kinda got curious what the fuck I was listening to. Obviously I could just google this, but why not see if I still can read hangeul? Let's do this.

o...oma....omai....omaig...g..omaigo...omaigoreuhmind you, this is the third word (the one in front of the yellow heart) and I'm starting to suspect that I already missed the actual name of the group (remeber, I can only read hangeul and can only "understand" names, I don't know a sinlge word of korean itself). Whatever the fuck I just read sounds like something I remember from japanese or sth, mabye that's their name. I think about it for a second before attempting to read the next word (this whole endeavour already took like solid minute so far, for reading 3 words). That's when I notice the hashtags.... (OhMyGirl)
I hate the korean and the japanese for using their moon runes to try to transcribe english words. I know we do the same, but I like my standards like I like my scotch: double.

I lived in Korea for two years. Over there, I had a ton of those experiences: reading the Hangul and then realizing it was an English word. Like "taxi" (taek-si), "phone" (pon), and, as a crucial part of one of the few phrases I learned, "pizza" (pitsa). As in "Goguma pitsa juseyo", or "Gimme dat sweet potato pizza, please."I get what you're saying and you're absolutely right, but obviously there's more to life than age, hence the "arrogance".

you do like your cold showers... lolJust took a very hot shower. First in months. Sooo Relaxing and rosey, highly needed.
My hair has grown a lot.
Think I'll let it it grow to mid chest height.

Miss ya man. haven't seen Mortal as well in a long time =/ Anyone know?
i don't know how you do it. i need a hot shower in the morning to heat me up. it's too cold here for cold showers. you're 200-350 miles further south than me. i don't know how much more warmer that makes it for you (probably not a lot) but up here it's cold
edit: apparently it's 2C colder here. so yeah... take that mr cold shower
and it'll be 6C colder here tomorrow.

I honestly, legitimately, don't understand how male vocalists haven't become obsolete at the point god took a rib from adam.
fucking listen to this. dude literally EVERY song (beatles, rat pack, chanson, whatever) would benefit if it'd be sung by some siren instead of some old dude who's daily routine is mostly focused around smoking and drinking, as is if he would be in a fight with his body. Notably I'm speaking myself as someone who is very much in such a fight.
Someone explain it to me pls

5.971129 and a Hermit so close enough. Although I tend to loose stuff instead as well as being more of a cat person lol.
Well it takes time. When used to it though, it gives such a awesome sensation; physically and mentally.
But ngl; that hot shower was pure relaxation for my body. Lots of build up psychosomatic tension and some injuries atm so I thought why not.

Selling a bunch of stuff on eBay and I'm always annoyed by people who can't be bothered to capitalise their name or address; or even lay it out properly. I feel compelled to manually edit it.
For eg.

Deeply unacceptable. I might start farting in the packet.
Then there's folks who send messages like:
"can you give it to me for [insert 40% lower price], free p&p..?"
If you're gonna ask something absurd, at least throw in a "Hi", maybe a "Regards" and try to frame it in a less abrupt way.

A co worker of mine mentioned/assumed that Thom Yorke was mostly on something based on some videos he saw. The team manager (a musician) more or less said nah he's just in his own world (paraphrasing here). Can't blame to guy though can you
