Just noticed when I get out of the car, if I've been driving for half an hour or more and I slightly stiffen up...when I walk it's not so much my legs doing the moving...I almost walk by moving my hips and it must look like a bit of a waddle...then I remembered my mother used to do that and she looked like an old lady when she did it.
Fark me...horrific. Now make every effort to use my legs...not my hips.

I used to flippantly joke/remark every year on my birthday that turning x-age didn't feel any different than being the previous age.
Today, I turned 49. I don't physically feel any older than my late-30s, nor do I particularly look like I'm 49. Fuck, though, I'm really feeling the passage of time.
Forty. Fucking. Nine. Where did it all go?
- this will cheer you https://www.famousbi…zardoz

- I started to feel it after my daughter was born, I was 45. I'm 47 now and i don't feel old but sometimes my body alerts me that I'm actually not young anymoreoey_oey

got my first new balance pair
- I've always wanted a pair of NB but every other cunt here in London wears them, so no.Nairn
- grafician, come to Londondrgs
- I wanted them so bad by the end of the 90s and the beginning of 2000. Bought my first pair in 2010 they lasted ages, basically my only pair of sneakers.oey_oey
- They're good running shoes. I got my first pair in the 70s. They're ugly though. If you're not using them for sports, it's an age issue.CyBrainX

When you start looking like this
- Rule no.1 - never succumb to buying shite sneakers
Rule no.2 - the only time you ever tuck in a shirt is when you are wearing a suit jacket and its buttoned up.microkorg - Rule no.3 never buy dad-cut jeans. Even the cheapest supermarkets will do decent fits of jeans.microkorg
- fuck your rule no.2 - that's only for overweight tech execs trying to look cool and failinghans_glib
- Wearing running shoes when you're not at the gym or running is just giving up.CyBrainX
- If I had no one to impress, I would wear cotton athletic wear and running shoes the rest of my life.jagara

- Young/old binary is the kind of banal concept a child might think was profound. Time is linear, age is a measure.comicsans

My shoulders hurt from sleeping wrong. How do you get hurt sleeping?
- I can relate to thissausages
- Try to sleep on your back rather than on the side. I am a side sleeper, too, so I can also relate to it.SimonFFM
- Side-sleeper here, too. I figure it's because — when I do that — my shoulder spend the whole time I'm on a given side internal rotated.Continuity
- internally*Continuity
- I say this, but remember being worse when I was 25. So I just shrug and try to do my yoga daily, prevent what you can.formed
- My shoulder is currently f'd up again, too. I don't really feel any older than I did 25 years ago and look much better. Keep working hard to be healthy!formed

Cynicism, or, rather, pragmatism/realism.
We're approaching 8 billion people on earth. We are creatures of habit and comfort. I don't believe for a few second, that people changing their ways will be remotely close to the defining factor in combating climate change. People (on a global level) are too uninformed, too lazy, too indifferent. Changing their ways & views is relevant, but WAYYYYY too slow a method.
I recycle, I occasionally take trains instead of planes, I turn off the electronics on standby, I vote for climate-friendly politicians. As a some Swedish activist said, "blah, blah, blah". Will this solve the crisis? It will be a factor, but nuh uh. The informed city-dweller in developed countries are doing something, but that's a sub-percentile demographic.
The solution, if there ever comes one, will be breakthroughs i technology. Fusion energy, fully electric cars, AI, robots, whatever. The solution has to be convenient for people to adopt, and will be one that doesn't disrupt capitalism, who's fighting teeth and claw against all obstacles of profit.
Discuss in groups of 4.

- Sorry if this is the third time I write this. I honestly don't remember. Senility is a sign of age, too XDjagara
- Or a virus that kills 70% of the population?Chimp
- This doesn't relate to age but I believe 100% of this.CyBrainX
- $$$ dictates all. As soon as "green buildings" became a money saver and was proven to make people more productive, *BOOM*, it was in every new building.formed
- We can discuss change when all basic necessities are well afforded by everybody everywhere. Until then...grafician

- FYI recycling is a bit of a sham. Instead, buy absolutely nothing if you can. If you can’t, just don’t buy anything with any plastic, ever.nb
- It’s obviously impossible but there are many options. For example, I won’t buy drinks that come in plastic bottles. Only metal cans or glass. It mattersnb
