I just went on the Gov's Social Security calculator to guesstimate what mine will be if/when I retire. Not exactly inspiring, certainly not enough to survive on.
- oh man...I received a letter last month...I was three days depressed. not all day but you know, it was a recurring thought.oey_oey
- I'm just going to kill myself when the time comes.Nairn
- Less important is a high paying job. More import to build a boat load of income streams, mostly passive.shapesalad
- When you retire, just buy a small video camera, create YouTube account, travel and film yourself = profit.shapesalad

I catch myself on occasion to be saying "Oppa" when I get up or sit down.

My new girlfriend told me that I’m snoring while sleeping :(
- signs your gaining weightimbecile
- ^ totally thisSimonFFM
- Actually I’m lean and fit/ athletic. Nasal or throat airways issue probably.NBQ00
- Signs she's putting her balls in your mouth as you sleep.Nairn
- ^ FLOL!Continuity
- Show her how much you’re into her by investing in one of those sexy CPAP masksPonyBoy
- LOL @ Nairnoey_oey
- No joke, the easy response to end it is to point out that she too snores like a goddamn banshee but you’ve been too embarrassed to say anything until now.monospaced
- Then thank her for opening the conversation about the issue.monospaced
- Thanks for the advice, mono. But instead I ordered myself some anti-snore nasal plugs. Let’s see if they work.NBQ00
- blow your nose before bed. sleep with no / low pillow. never sleep on your back ( stitch a ping pong ball into the back of a t-shirt)shapesalad
- The skating goth milf or a new one?drgs
- New one. Prime minister of COTDland.NBQ00
- My girlfriend is in good shape and she snores like an obese construction worker.stewart
- hahahahaNairn
- Congrats on the sex!HijoDMaite
- She said there's no sex until I stop snoring, lolNBQ00
- My girlfriend snores and kickscannonball1978
- Tell her no sec until SHE stops snoring. This is bullshitmonospaced
- lol @mono encouraging you to gaslight yourself out of a new relationship.garbage
- If you're not fat and have good cardio, it could be dehydration. It snots up the valves. Also no big pillows, and sleep on your side. Could also be bad luck?garbage
- I'm 6'1", 150lb. If I twist onto my back when I'm asleep, I wake up God. Luckily I'm a heavy sleeper and easy to roll over.garbage
- Any sinus issues, like maybe a deviated septum?garbage

i don't understand the "NPC" thread
- Videos of stoners, i thinkdrgs
- That shit ain't weed.
Fentanyl, etc, I assume.Nairn - QBN'rsNBQ00
- It’s a thread to mock and ridicule addicts when they’re struggling through a particularly low point in their lives. It’s mannerless.nb
- I'm guessing it's about those characters in video games that are decoration and don't do anything but talk nonsense - and finding real life versions.shapesalad
- But I've not played video games since I was 14 on the old Amiga 500. So I don't know.shapesalad
- Yeah man this is a profound thing, I went to a strip mall recently and grocery store in a sketchy area and everyone there i kep thinking was a NPC ie background_niko
- Characters that serve no purpose and just take up space, contribute nothing to society and will be forgotten in a blink. Scared the fuck out of me to do more_niko
- Shapesalad that is correct, I had to look it up too as I also haven't played video games for ages.PhanLo
- "We exist in a simulated reality and some humans take on the role of NPCs, spouting "opinions" they are programmed to spout and repeating in a cult-like manner"Chimp
- Liberal: (Yelling) Fuck Trump! Ban guns!
Conservative: (Yelling) Fuck Hillary! Ban immigrants!Chimp - Sometimes they're just weird interactions between people too.PhanLo
- Yeah, it's not *just* addicts. Those are the Skooma vids. It's also just when an NPC goes rogue and the music gets slapped on.garbage
- Nothing will top the horse video. I have so many questions: https://www.youtube.…garbage
- another sign: I had to look up what skooma was lol_niko
- When I first saw Skooma, I thought it was a new drug. LolPhanLo
- Heh, I had to Google too :)Nairn

You listen to albums- 'sup?albums
- Sup. No one under 30 has heard of younb
- What if you’re a Gen-Z’er and a Dua Lipa fan. Would you not listen to her entire albums?NBQ00
- People love albums. They sell. They're reviewed as much as ever. They're rated, listed and tours promoting a single album played straight though is a trend.CyBrainX
- Because we have attention spans longer than that of a lettuce.MrT
- Albums sell?nb
- lol. My son is 16. he's become a huge vinyl junkie. I take him out to get records/albums all the time. he kinda bounces between old classic rock and new rap...exador1
- he was so happy the other weekend... found a great used copy of 'Meddle' by Pink Floyd, and also picked up the latest from 'Tyler the Creator'...exador1

I haven't done it yet, and — now that I'm hyper-aware of it — I'm making every conscious effort I can from now on to never do it once I reach 'a certain age'.
But, what is it with getting old, and both standing and walking with your hands behind your back? Preferrably with one hand holding only the index and middle fingers of the other.
This, to me, is the ultimate sign that screams 'FUCKING OLD'.
I've seen a few women do it, but my observation's been that it's mostly old men.
Don't be that old man. I won't be. Fuck that shit.
- try to combo that with talking to yourself and you're golden!_niko
- it's an attempt to revert the rounded shoulder hump.shapesalad
- Yes, something with posturedrgs
- Round it off with a Members Only jacket.Akagiyama
- If you went to a certain sort of school here in the UK, you'd find yourself doing this in certain situations waaay before you get old.Nairn

Threw my back out for the first time delivering a big order of my chairs. Of course it was the first chair that it happened on, so I had 5 more to unload. I'm able to stand up on my own today so at least I'm still recovering quickly.
- Start the day with a 5 / 10min stretch/exercise routine with a resistance band, the type you can slot into a door. Will save you from future accidents.shapesalad
- You can squeeze it in while you wait for your water to boil and coffee to drip.shapesalad
- <I was doing stretches every day then, after feeling good for awhile, I stopped. Started back up and I'm much better in a daylemmy_k

Good lord I'm jealous of all the teenage girls with super smooth eye areas with no eye rings/ wrinkles and eye bags after a bad sleep.
I often get wrinkles and bags around the eyes even with a good night of sleep.
When I don't have this issue it's amazing how much younger I feel and look. The eyes can really make or break a face when it comes to age(ing).
Thinking of some eye patches.
- Pirate look - bold move. What about the other eye?Fax_Benson
- Hang out with MILFs instead of teenage girls and you'll feel years younger.shapesalad
- good advice, shapeNBQ00
- sunglassesOBBTKN
- Eye patchES?jagara
- Start slathering moisturizer on like its your job. Im nearly 40, dont wear makeup often and reapply moisturizer and SPF multiple times a day.shellie
- I look volumes younger than my similar aged friends. I notice they do not moisturize enough.shellie

why would you care how much semen you produced? is this for a "film" you're making?sarahfailin - How would you even find this? What are you watching on YouTube?formed
- I was thinking how I sit a lot for my work, and how lorry drivers also sit a tonne and are know to have a reduced sperm count, and the thought crossed my mind.shapesalad

you hate any designer that is 10 years younger than you... mostly because they cry and complain 'how hard it is' to do 'work'...

You're older than your doctor
- been thereshapesalad
- Live in London when older than 40 and you are literally older than 99% of the people you see in zone 1.shapesalad
- That’s because most people figure out it’s best to leave London unless you’re a millionaire.Chimp

Just had a lovely discussion with a female graphic designer until we started discussing Blender and I brought up the fact that I was toying around with some of the first Blender versions as a teen in the 90's when she wasn't even born yet.
My own fault. Now I feel old.

"Four years ago today I started the bald and bankrupt channel on YouTube. When I started I was 43 and had £1500 to my name which I spent on a camera and ticket to India. Four years later I’m in a position where I never have to work again if I don’t want to and I live by my own rules. Let that show you that no matter how old you are you can change things around if you are passionate about something. You probably won’t get as many babushkas as me though but hey you can’t have everything in life.
Cheers to everyone who appeared in the videos. I don’t have photos of them all but you know who they are: Kolya, Tanya, Sergei, NFKRZ, dancing Russian babushka, Harald, Irish Partizan, 100 rupees guy and a thousand other random characters I bumped into.
Happy holiday to all my Russian friends and wish everyone a great Sunday.
Cheers."
- so basically, if you reach 40's, wife leaves and finically ruins you... start vlogging.shapesalad
- Now you know what to do.palimpsest
- I’m actually considering itshapesalad
- I'm 46 and neither fully bald nor bankrupt. Now, I feel better.SimonFFM
