How does that differ from death sentence?

It’s way more fun, for starters.

It was 42 for me specifically. Good luck!

spicy foods upset my stomach (I can eat them, but it has consequences).

Same. It sucks. My brothers have continually given me shit for decades for being a bitch that doesn’t like spicy wings. I’m like “dudes, it’s not that I don’t enjoy the taste, it’s that my stomach will literally cramp up 4 hours from now and I’ll be shitting pain.”

They don’t care.

I can also measurable lower my heart rate by conscious effort alone

I read somewhere a while back that people can learn to do this with training and a visualization. If you have a heart rate monitor that shows different color shades depending on your rate, apparently people can learn focus on making the color turn green and lowering their heart rate.

Exactly! And in this case, “what’s it” is having knees that don’t hurt.

The craziest one was when we had a staff lunch, and she was like “Jimmy johns, roast beef, with mustard and hot peppers mix”

Next time she does that, say “joke’s on you, I actually just went down on the neighbor lady” and see how she reacts.

I thought everyone could do this. That’s a super power?!

I used to wonder why adults didn’t run up the stairs. I figured adults must just be no fun and didn’t want to look silly running upstairs.

So all throughout my childhood, teens, 20s, and 30s I would usually run up my stairs because it just felt natural. Then not too far into my 40s, my knee was just like “nope”.

Now I have to walk upstairs, which is lame as hell.

“awww shiiiiitttt I’m about to be punched in the face”

…

…

…

“Ouch!”

Obligatory

I was just talking about that same comparison yesterday! There are some big business interests in keeping older industries going. Whether it’s oil and gas, meat, or whatever. It takes a ton of political pressure over time to make change, but the truly biggest driver is cost. Once the alternative becomes cheaper, it will snowball.

Mr. Honda (74)… Soba Master Mr. Takeshita (81)… Mr. Fujii (68)

These are the people Japan considers “middle-aged”?! I’ve heard that Japanese people have long lifespans, but calling an 81 year-old “middle aged” seems a bit optimistic.

Linda MacMahon is literally the Secretary of Education.

My experience with elderly relatives is that all caps is the only way they can read the screen.

That’s exactly what happened with this lady.

This dude is convinced Trump has a grand plan and is a master negotiator.

This was his response. Very sane. Very calm. Not at all unhinged.

Le Pen is reportedly accused of wrongfully diverting $5 million in funds earmarked for the European Parliament to staffers of her nationalist, xenophobic party, the National Rally, over a 12-year period.

I hate soft worded journalism. She isn’t reportedly accused of shit. She was found guilty.

I… I didn’t know you could do that.

Honestly not the best alibi, seeing that it’s completely plausible to go out and commit arson in the time it takes between late game Civ turns.
