What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

Saw an old friend from high school days the other day. Hes walking with a cane now, hes got severe arthritis in his foot but cant afford the recovery time from surgery, doesnt look like hes doing good, but he smiled and we hugged anyway.
I was gripped by sadness afterwards, as much as I know theres no reason to be sad. He was in no accident or injury. Its just time. Time is cruel.

Ive long since realized why older people tend to be so crotchety. Theyve had to watch as every cultural signifier theyve grown up with, shows, actors, bands, and friends and family wither away, like watching stars blink out for the final time at universes end.
Untill only you remain.

The work of life at this stage of my life is to weather this erosion and try not to be broken by it.
 
So I woke up this morning and asked my Google Assistant what the temperature was. The normally-pleasant AI voice said, "It's too fucking cold, asshole!"

My weather app said it's -7°. Turns out my Google Assistant was exactly right.

I've always thought that at the end of the day, and the end of our lives, all we have left are our memories. Hopefully your friend can remember and re-savor all the great moments he's had in his life.

Yeah I agree thats true, and sometimes we dont even get those. 😭
 
How Greek and Romans have different gods that are similar…
So does DC and Marvel when it comes to superheroes…

It is a very odd place in my brain sometimes…🤷‍♂️
 
Im hungry. Stop playing Scarlet Nexus and go get some food you dehydrated noodle.
 
I don’t really mind commercials. But it was nice when shows were written and planned around commercial breaks. Streaming services just shoving them in at particular timestamps without thought or consideration of narrative flow is just the latest example of the tech sector giving us something we already had only much shittier.
 
I'm thinking that what I posted in 'What are you doing" makes it sound like I'm on day release / court ordered or something. I'm not, not yet
