Parts start failing at 40

15 points

I spent my 30s feeling like a retiree, but then I bought a bicycle at age 39 and started riding 25-50 miles a day. Now I’m approaching my 60s and I’m in the best shape of my life. Barring catastrophic and permanent injuries, I think the main problem with aging is that being sedentary causes your body to decay and the older you are the more time you’ve had to be sedentary. Get up off your dead asses, people, and don’t tell me you don’t have the time for exercise. You have plenty of time to watch TV and scroll through your phones, turn some of that time into something useful.

And for those wondering, yeah it sucks a first getting into a routine of physical training. Find your drive, keep it up, and eventually you may find you can’t do without it. It gets so much easier after a while.

Good on you dude. I have some friends who sit around all day, gulping down 40oz sodas, wondering why they puff going up one set of stairs.

Put the liquid candy down, unglued yourself from the couch and get out into the world.

Life goes by too fast to be vegetating at home all day.

My back got so messed up after I turned 30.

But then I just bought a new bed and mattress and I’m good as new 😂 apparently my box spring and bed rails were just broken.

I haven’t noticed any of this yet. The only thing I notice so far about getting older is that there is no chance in hell I’m jumping down a flight of stairs.

A few weeks ago, I was going down some stairs at a train station. I’m one of those people who always climbs stairs two at a time, just can’t help myself. I saw this one fella going downstairs two at a time. I gaped at him like he was the master of my craft.

Omg this flooded me with memories of my brother and I competing for who could jump the most stairs. Simpler times

This resolution was such a copout

Honestly I thought it was appropriate. Aang, a freaking teenager, has an entire mini arc about the moral canundrum of having to kill someone while the fate of the entire world rests upon his shoulders. They also established how strongly it was against his religion to kill anything, and that he’s a vegetarian.

Obviously it was a copout in that they can’t show a character being directly killed in a spectacular enough fashion for a series finale on a children’s show, but ultimately weakening the big bad evil guy and taking away all of his power, politically, physically and emotionally. That’s a great place to end it and so very in character for Aang
