When I am over 65 years old and retired, with a successful pension, nothing will matter. Right?


As in - I can enjoy life, no one will place me under ANY sort of active moral or other SCRUTINY, people won't care too much what I think, do, say as long as it isn't OBVIOUS on the wrong side and I like to think I can just be calm and normal enough to not wrongly tip the scales over like a mental equivalent of looking where I am going.

I won't get shouted at by my boss at work as I will be retired. I won't get into any strong arguments with anyone over any issues. (As long as I don't actively endorse violence etc, and if I doubt something, nothing bad will happen, right, I mean - you can't be prosecuted for THOUGHTS ALONE let alone for NEUTRALITY, or maybe you can to a degree by say Karma Police (like in that Radiohead song) but even then...) And you know what? That is fine by me.

Its time to really let go off a lot of life's difficulties, uncertainties, harsh truths, grayness, problems, people forcing others to take SIDES, hypocrisy... I won't even bother unless REALLY up to it to take any radical measures, and even then, I am sure it would work out peacefully one way or another. I can get my friends and my family to help if boss gets mad at me ANYWHERE but even then... And no I will never take it, but hey, I am NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL. BUT I also wish more people in life can allow me to be myself and live how I want it.

Watch whatever FILMS I like and appreciate. Play GAMES that I enjoy and devote time AND money to it so I also get QUALITY products. Not worry about law AND morality. QUESTION some or other even DISTURBING things but not have people preach back and get mad at me but EXPLAIN certain say stereotypes even if they DO disagree with them and find them 'offensive' - and that is human nature even if it is "socially" unacceptable - and with penalties at times at least to boot. And not FEAR ANY accusations even of a milder "troll" variety.

And all people have had it in them all their lives - let's no deny it and deadly seriously play "innocent", thank you.

Anyways, that's me, and I am 37 soon to be 38 anyways.

And in MOVIES especially, I can explore anything even through obvious ways but look at OTHER matters such as what the film OVERALL is saying, not just one scene or one bothering subject that we know is what it is, and if I don't have or WANT to only reference it with mere "ooh disgust" - I DO NOT HAVE TO, thank you. :)

You're younger than me, Alex.
Not 18 years old, I know.
I'm not that old and also not retired yet.

Nothing changes much, except that the bones start to crunch.
Perhaps I'm a tiny little bit calmer now.
So, my advice...and I'm neither the first nor won't be the last to say that.
Live your life as best as you can right now, enjoy it!
Yah, it's allowed to enjoy.
Life is fantastic, amazing, wonderful, there's so much to discover. β™₯
It could end at any moment.
And no one knows for sure whether something will come afterwards.

Is this your first, constructive, positive message that actually MAKE sense!?!

Congrats big TT.

It's good that you're working on your flawed reading skills. πŸ₯Έβ€‹
Now that you understand what a CHAUVI is, doesn't mean you've to act like one.

It’s the second time you try to kiss me. You will make me blush. Careful not to break my stone heart.

Oh honey bunny big TT, bon matin Γ  vous aussi.

If you wait until you're older to enjoy life you're going to get some surprises.

The asteroid is going to hit Earth before then, so I wouldn't think about it too much.

reply

Damn you! I wanted to be the one to spoil his dreams by leaking news of the incoming asteroid.

reply

I'd be more worried about God smiting us.....I'm an atheists but if he exists, its coming soon.

reply

Wouldn't an asteroid striking the earth and God smiting us be one and the same thing?

reply

IF I WERE THE GODS...I WOULD BE WAY MORE CREATIVE THAN AN ASTEROID.



PERHAPS A SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED ZOMBIE VIRUS...WE LOVE TO BONE...WHAT A SHOW THAT WOULD BE.

reply

Dude, you need therapy

reply

THIS IS TRUE.

reply

Sit down with Samoajoes and allow him to be your therapist.. After 1 hour with him, you'll feel like a new man

reply

Kowalski doesn't have a chance. "His" brain is already a lost cause.

reply

I'm surprised an asteroid hasn't hit us already. All it takes is one rogue rock to head in our direction faster than NASA can do anything about.

reply

I turn 65 next month. Retirement has its good and not so good points. The not so good is you are no spring chicken anymore...health issues crop up even among people who have taken good care of themselves.

reply

Weird suggestion but maybe try fishing or hunting and camping.
It is very good exercise both mentally and physically. Setting up a camp is pretty labor intensive and great exercise.

You really can have a great peaceful experience in the woods honing your skills and hiking around. It's really peaceful and nice. The stars at night are magic!

reply

Age ain't nothing but a number. It's about how you feel at 65.

reply

I agree, but the body doesn't.

reply

I don't know your work history but you should have at least three schemes laid out by now. Get on this shit. Goddam immediately! You ain't aging backwards buddy.

A big TDA at about 10% salary, A Pension you can pay extra into, a $250 K Life insurance policy to pay down the mortgage and a savings account for car and home repairs once you die so the wife and kids are handled financially.

Get on that stuff. If we both live long enough to drink the gravy we can get second careers, these idiots are paying $20 bucks an hour minimum wage now. I am attacking that treasury 3-4 times a week flipping burgers, fuck 'em, I'll take their money every chance I get:).

reply

I have no idea what the world will be like in 28 years when you're 65, but if it's anything like it is now, I'd opt for death.. Hell, you may not even have social security at that point and have to work til you drop dead

reply

Really, BKB, what is so bad about today's world in that sense, and why do you believe we may not face any positive progress in over 26 years time?

reply

Because if you work your entire life putting social security away for when the time comes for you to retire and draw it and they keep moving the age up?? You're not going to make it and neither will I for that matter.. At one point, you could draw at 62, then they raise it to 65 then 67 and soon it'll be 70 and where does it stop?? πŸ€”

reply

So its a real mess on that front where you live BKB and I gather you're from America, right?

reply

Yes, I'm from America
