    Just turned 38....... is my life over now?

    I know a couple of guys in their 70s that did the right things and are still very active and positive. Health is largely about just not fucking yourself, give your body and mind the minimum they need, anything more comes with a price.

    For my Aussie Sherbros.

    Yes, not as easy to find as it was 10 years ago but still in a lot of stores. Need to slice it relatively thin and cook on high heat in my experience as an Australian 5 years removed.

    A Question for the IT/CompScience guys?

    Programmer here, been at it 22 years, about 12 of those in some sort of professional capacity. Worked in all sorts of industries and on all sorts of applications. In the past I used to write a lot of things over and over again, and if it happened too often I'd consider making a module or...

    What would be a great game that hasn't been created thus far?

    A physics based fighting game with minimal use of invisible forces, everything being driven by the characters joint forces. One never came so I started making them, second game about 75% done, hope to release in a month or so:

    Has anyone been to Tehran?

    In the 60s + 70s it was an easy argument that it was nicer than most of the US.

    Young people think they're indestructible (and they're kinda right)

    Similar experiences in highschool, repetitive takedowns on hardwood floors and rocky ground. Now at 37, I slipped on mud and landed in a kneeling position about 3 months ago and my knee+hip still aren't right.

    Looks like tech industry is no longer a place for stable employment

    There used to be memes about teaching coal miner's to code. When the layoffs starting rolling out in tech recently, it happened to coincide with a shortage of skilled mining operators. Best one I saw, on twitter I think, was some sassy Dev complaining about all the layoffs, and someone quoted...

    I feel like I no longer understand the value of money and other things

    Same, a lot of it is inflation over time. $50k 10 years ago is the same as $66k now, in terms of buying power. $50k 20 years ago is the same as $87k now. For me it's compounded by not living in my home country (which has had very high inflation in that period) for 5-6 years, going back is...

    Very confused about saving vs spending balance.

    Also - your $425,000 will have the buying power of $410,000 next year if you are just keeping it in a dead weight account. On the flip side, very safe investment options will have it worth $430,000 next year. $20k difference in buying power over the course of a year just because you kept it in...

    Very confused about saving vs spending balance.

    Enjoying time with someone != Spending money on them. Often the two are actually at odds I find. Don't make financial investment a basis for your goodwill toward someone, make open communication and willingness to enjoy their company the base of your connection. Making this about money is...

    Multiplatform Struggling to play games that don't pay me

    Paying people to use your product.. doesn't seem like an unreasonable and short-lived multi-layered abstraction of reality AT ALL

    Movies How was Prey aka Predator prequel

    I'm a big Predator lore fan, used to have all the comic books etc. It's significantly better than everything else since P2 imo. Far from a bad movie in its own right, and it leans into the core lore and expands upon it slightly in a very respectful way. I'd suggest seeing it.

    How Much has your Rent Gone Up?

    30k is quite a bit for a condo, can I ask where abouts you are? We are right next to CMU in CNX.

    How Much has your Rent Gone Up?

    22,000thb a month. Got a good deal because of covid, and landlord hasn't increased in 3 years because he says we're the best tenants he's ever had in here. It's a 4 storey shop house, and I heard from others nearby that the previous few tenants all tried to run cafes in it and went broke...

    Anyone else have no real desire to travel internationally?

    Do what I did, I went from Thailand to USA which is a fair flight, so I stopped in Japan for a week to break it up.

    Can't turn off my brain when sleeping

    People always say to cut out phone well before bed, but for me that is backwards. If I have nothing to focus on my brain will spin for hours and hours while staring at the ceiling. If I can focus on some dumb YouTube crap on my phone I get sleepy very quickly.
