The elderly should be advisors not kings.

[magnetaress]

There's nothing wrong from a young guy taking advice from an old General.

There's everything wrong with people holding on to power so long as they are issuing edict from their death beds in order to consolidate and prop up the old power and wealth that they are subservient to.

With age comes wisdom….

To a point, then it’s dementia

[Trexller]

I'm pretty sure that the association of wisdom and age came from a time when everyone died at 40, and there were no books/written word or the internet

without these sources of knowledge, everyone who had managed to live a long time and learned about the world bit by bit over their experiences would seem like a genius god.

These days elderly folks are actually at a knowledge disadvantage compared to younger people, given that all knowledge flows through tech devices and old people are much less adept at their usage.

"Everyone died at 40" because childhood mortality was so high.

If you got past that you were probably gonna be alright.

And now confirmation bias leads obviously disadvantaged fools into thinking they are geniuses, Trexller is proof the internet was a mistake

You need wisdom to discern what is actually knowledge and what is bullshit or propaganda

no that's just common sense.

Its best to repair from the outside as the water pushes the repair onto the hull. If you repair from the inside the water tries to push the repair out.

On Long Island, we just "forget" they are still out at the cabana. Everyone eventually takes Uncle Earnie and Auntie Gin down to beach. I bet you can't do this with cell phones now though. Or maybe people just turn a blind eye to it. Long Island is a very practical place, if you can believe it. At least Nassau County. There's lead in the water or something the further out you go.

I'll be King. I would call it "Moral March North Movement," or MMNM. At age 60, you have to start moving -- as in actually moving, you must show evidence of northward movement, so you are past the 70th latitude by the end of your 60's. By the end of your 70's, you have to be quite frosty and perhaps in an icecutter, if you so fancy living to 80 and surviving the 80th parallel. And so forth.

This is so simple. "Go North Old Man!"

And keep going.

Some people die a few weeks into their lives and some die 95 years into their lives. I demand equity. Let's murder everyone older than a few minutes. We can't have equality without equity

Fun fact.

I'm right-handed. Others are left-handed. And so forth with "leftness" and "rightness."

So uh, how do you feel about gentrification?

[Trexller]

lol somebody's butthurt because they got priced out

nah i met some girl online, they had just legalized weed and i was a dumb kid loaded with inheritance money so I moved out there

then shit went south and i moved back. well, I cheated and got caught so, that's on me. I do regret that.

if I got the same job that I have in PA, my salary would be higher due to the cost of living in seattle, but then I'd have to deal with the myriad of problems that exist in there today.

I always felt like it was weird how every street had homeless people, but never really thought twice about it. Looking back things make more sense, state and city leadership had every warning possible that their people were descending into something awful

but there aren't enough coast guard cutters and port officials to stop every shipment of chinese opioids that inundate west coast cities, some of these shipments get transferred at sea then come ashore on someones pleasure boat which the coast guard completely ignores then they are unloaded onto private property.

It's a shame, washington is a beautiful state, Mt Rainier was always gorgeous when the cloud layer descended beneath the peak, it reminded me of like Mt Olympus. Used to take a ferry from seattle to bremerton. bainbridge island area was some amazing coastal hiking too. never did hike rainier, wish I had done that.

[Toxigen]

Rainier is a climb. The glacier can be dangerous AF.

I bet we'll get a one world religion that is a mishmash of Catholicism, Islam, and some funky state religion bullshit that's like made up 3 parts Buddhism and 2 parts worshipping a meme.
