This is a thread for ILXors in their 30's!!! yo yo yo breakdancing etc...

exercising has definitely helped with keeping me cool in my 30s (says the guy who hasn't been to the gym in two weeks)

yea you hit a wall at 23 where you realize your metabolism can't keep up with your shit lifestyle anymore and then another wall at 28 when you find you can't quite make it to bar close and sleep until 3 PM like you used to

adjust ages accordingly for biology and required office hours

yall old ass motherfuckers these days huh

onward to the 40s thread lads

im not even late thirties til end of week

7 months til I’m 30 but I’m rounding up, feel like being 30 will suit my sedate lifestyle

i went out dancing twice at the weekend and now i feel like crying a lot

i'm 31 now! so far my 30s suck mentally but are ok otherwise

wait, what are we counting as late 30s now?

feel like I may have committed the Whiney generalization where he was claiming to be "nearly 40" at the tender age of 36 now

well i mean 36 is blatantly mid

otm

I guess 37.5 and up is definitively late

jaysus not late til dec so

I am reading Walt Whitman rn. He wrote “Song of Myself” when he was 37. I read the latest Harry Potter play, for work, and he is 37 at its start. It made me wonder: is 37 the accepted halfway point? If so, I’m sort of okay with how things have turned out.

xp we're practically youth

looking at the pension, presuming 67 is the retirement age, id like 10 active years minimum to enjoy that.

77

35 is the halfway point of the traditional threescore years and ten I guess. Time for your allegorical journey through hell!

yeah but we all live to 95 now so we can compare pancreatic cancers afaict

I've been thinking of life in terms of youth/adult plateau/senility where you're on the upswing for the first, relatively stable and living out the bulk of your years, and then a slight decline in the last part that echoes the lesser independence of youth and reliance on others

both of my grandfathers passed last year after spending some time in assisted living homes, though, so that may be weighing on my reasoning

I guess 37.5 and up is definitively late

NOOOOO

i dont feel like anything up to 25 was all that great which is why my cheery demeanour since maybe

same, mostly

had a couple crap years in-between in there, a bunch of good ones in my thirties, though

34. Preferred 33 when I was the age of Christ when he died. Everything seemed to be looking up then

As Tom Lehrer once said, “when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for four years”

if i only live long enough to prevent any cunt making a movie half as bad about me itll be enough

feel like I may have committed the Whiney generalization where he was claiming to be "nearly 40" at the tender age of 36 now

wait a second, i'm nearly 36
that means i'm nearly 40

i should buy a sports car

make sure it has a spoiler that is exactly as big as your desperation

39 today. Don't know that i am ready to be 40 next year

Do you still yo yo yo breakdance a lot?

happy birthday!

Don't think i could without slipping a disc.

Thx!

happy 39th neanderthal! i am going to catch up to you some day.

Also, HB! :)

36, the first year that i've actually felt some anxiety about getting older, and even feel somewhat "old"

im in mid 30s limbo ever since i cant limbo

Happy 39th Neanderthal. Didn't know we were the same age. I can't fathom how I got to this point myself

Happy Birthday, Neanderthal Man! Don't sweat yr 40s, folks, once the dementia fully kicks in its nothing but smoooooooth...ssssssomething...

I turned 30 this year, so far so good, very relaxing.

33 1/2 now

I sorta fret about the fact that most weeks follow the same pattern, I have two kids so it's hard to get out of the 'routine' I have. but I have a house I like, a job I like, kids that I like, good beer in the fridge...I guess this is the life I wanted 10 years ago

Why would you want anything other than a routine

otm

routine with lots of good meals and holidays

everyone in their 30s when this thread was started is now in their 40s

a job you like holy shit what's your secret?

honestly, a lot of luck

Happy birthday, Neanderthal! Death to the Cro-Magnons!

oh I feel pretty lucky to be eating. Like though? good work. happy 30s everybody!

35 this week. I can't believe how fast my 30s are going. I don't feel any different from when I was 28.

got all the hair retention genes & am still effectively 12
