@Virgo_clips @InternetH0F Because he wasn't winning them anymore.

He knew what it meant to be great, and that he would never truly be great again. It's a lot to bear. May he rest in peace.

@CypressDahlia I hate to give Walsh the benefit of the doubt here, but he's speaking in terms of abstract values, removed from any consideration of the logistics of the act. Likely, he's thinking of pressing a button.

Jensen's framing emphasizes the logistics. There's no dick sucking button.

@normalfunnygirl I think it's partially because most any 35 year old knows that they're stupider now than they were at 18, at least when it comes to raw processing power.

His wizened brain shouldn't be able to run circles around the youth any more than his body should be able to.

@itzjaybonigga @OrevaZSN @ladielabrys2 Right, and even if they did, I think most decent people would get bored of the leisure within 6 months and find something productive to do.

Still, if enough people tell you they're gonna do something, it's not unreasonable to believe they will if given the opportunity.

@JoshuaHedley Girls liked them. That's enough.

@sourpatchlyds Daughter or wife is a toss up, depends on how much you still love your wife. Son or wife is a no-brainer, you save the wife.

@HistoryBoomer Some people think that businesses which run on the labor of low-skilled workers should split their profits with those workers. It's a worldview that completely ignores the real or abstract machinery involved in making a low-skilled business possible, to say nothing of risk.

@Metal_Crow No one actually has a problem with nepotism. It's older than humanity and will be with us till the end of time. People just use it as a self-righteous way to rationalize their jealousy.

@joeroganhq Taylor Swift will be a billionaire because people are willing to pay money to listen to her music. That is money she has earned. Would it be possible without modern logistics and distribution? No. But so what? People have freedom to give her money for her art and they choose to.

@redditfartporn Although traditional schooling might only focus on a few domains, individual intelligence differences within any domain are very easy to spot. Some people just learn and process certain tasks much faster than others, and it makes sense to have labels for things that are obvious.

@sunnkssdseraph 1. This is obviously written by ChatGPT.
2. This sort of autohagiography is sickening to read. Keep trying to convince yourself that your shortcomings are superpowers, I guess, but maybe not in public.

@1ssve @ladielabrys2 Life requires struggle.

It could be argued that human progress has eliminated the need for such struggle, but this not only (grossly) overestimates global prosperity, it also ignores the fact that, for decent people, struggle is also a prerequisite for happiness.

@james_xond The decline kicked into high gear with the rise of social media.

@RaideroRacc Korn was an incredibly popular band in their day, and highly respected by run-of-the-mill alt rock kids. Slipknot the same. It was radio rock at the end of the day, but that's what the people liked.

@JoyceCarolOates Funny to ask this to a bunch of people who have time for twitter.

I would suspect that everyone in the developed world has time for crossword puzzles, and that people do them because puzzles are fun.

@mimizima_ Cancer incidence in people under 50 has been rising since the 90s, with some cancers, like colorectal, jumping up ~50% over that timeframe (i.e.: 1.5% growth per year).

I didn't take the vaccine and have no interest in defending it, but there's something else going on here.

@SketchesbyBoze All of them. You people need to read some Dickens.

@frenbilt I'm in the 46th percentile of earners and had no problem buying a house a few years back, and am poised to buy a 2nd house in the next year or two.

Location makes a huge difference, but priorities also play a part.

@imfat Roommates, for one. At least if those bills are non-negotiable.

That said, I live in a reasonably sized house and my water, electricity, phone, internet, and gas bills combined never exceed $250/month...
