- "Age is not a binary"? Is there a zoomer jibberish generator somewhere on the web?jagara
- So old people acting immaturely?Chimp
- Young/old binary is the kind of banal concept a child might think was profound. Time is linear, age is a measure.comicsans
- Read the while thing, it is rabidly bonkers https://changingagin…comicsans
- I identify 20 years older than I amdrgs
- Young/old is binary.
But young and old are fluid.palimpsest - The sound you're hearing now is about a quarter of my brain cells screaming in agony as they die a horrific, painful death after reading this drivel.Continuity

Receding gums.
Anyone have experience with 'Gum-coloured resin' treatment?
- apparently really common these days due to rotary electric toothbrushes. hygienist friend just convinced me to upgrade to sonicare...kingsteven
- not like it'll help me, mouth like stone henge these dayskingsteven
- sonicare does not rotate?drgs
- just resonates back and forth at 261Hz (middle C) apparently thats what cleans. oral-b claim 8800 'movements per min' (146Hz) but the rotation itself is 5Hzkingsteven
- so they're just counting the highest resonance of the mechanism, im not sure how much of that makes it to your teeth.kingsteven
- Sonic care rocks. Been using one for 10+ years. My gums were receding then and haven't gotten any worse.formed
- Last week I had to have periodontal surgery to correct the top left area. Lots of collagen and stitches. It's partially hereditary.CyBrainX

The question now is, 'who will outlive the other...me or QBN?'
I just can't picture coming here at 80, but I would if I lived that long and it's still here. Deep thoughts today....

Took my kids to the world's biggest bouncy house / castle this weekend. I ran up to the first one and launched a somersault, and very nearly passed out as something popped in my core. Thought I'd broken a rib but i think I've just strained a bunch of muscles. Now in agony every time i move my core, which as it turns out is quite a fucking lot. Thanks a lot 40!
- Wait till you're 50 ;)OBBTKN
- Flew off my kid's swingset in flip flops. Landed, then slid and all of my weight came to rest on my tailbone. Pain for weeks!misterhow
- Pics please (of the bouncy house)!SimonFFM

- Wow, looks fun!SimonFFM
- Yes and I'd have enjoyed it way more if not for a completely needless injury! Kids loved it!DaveO

got my first new balance pair
- I've always wanted a pair of NB but every other cunt here in London wears them, so no.Nairn
- grafician, come to Londondrgs
- I wanted them so bad by the end of the 90s and the beginning of 2000. Bought my first pair in 2010 they lasted ages, basically my only pair of sneakers.oey_oey
- They're good running shoes. I got my first pair in the 70s. They're ugly though. If you're not using them for sports, it's an age issue.CyBrainX

I just spent around 30 seconds wondering why Aled Jones was still banned from Twitter.

My shoulders hurt from sleeping wrong. How do you get hurt sleeping?
- I can relate to thissausages
- Try to sleep on your back rather than on the side. I am a side sleeper, too, so I can also relate to it.SimonFFM
- Side-sleeper here, too. I figure it's because — when I do that — my shoulder spend the whole time I'm on a given side internal rotated.Continuity
- internally*Continuity
- I say this, but remember being worse when I was 25. So I just shrug and try to do my yoga daily, prevent what you can.formed
- My shoulder is currently f'd up again, too. I don't really feel any older than I did 25 years ago and look much better. Keep working hard to be healthy!formed

Cynicism, or, rather, pragmatism/realism.
We're approaching 8 billion people on earth. We are creatures of habit and comfort. I don't believe for a few second, that people changing their ways will be remotely close to the defining factor in combating climate change. People (on a global level) are too uninformed, too lazy, too indifferent. Changing their ways & views is relevant, but WAYYYYY too slow a method.
I recycle, I occasionally take trains instead of planes, I turn off the electronics on standby, I vote for climate-friendly politicians. As a some Swedish activist said, "blah, blah, blah". Will this solve the crisis? It will be a factor, but nuh uh. The informed city-dweller in developed countries are doing something, but that's a sub-percentile demographic.
The solution, if there ever comes one, will be breakthroughs i technology. Fusion energy, fully electric cars, AI, robots, whatever. The solution has to be convenient for people to adopt, and will be one that doesn't disrupt capitalism, who's fighting teeth and claw against all obstacles of profit.
Discuss in groups of 4.
- *more than a few seconds...jagara
- Sorry if this is the third time I write this. I honestly don't remember. Senility is a sign of age, too XDjagara
- Or a virus that kills 70% of the population?Chimp
- This doesn't relate to age but I believe 100% of this.CyBrainX
- $$$ dictates all. As soon as "green buildings" became a money saver and was proven to make people more productive, *BOOM*, it was in every new building.formed
- We can discuss change when all basic necessities are well afforded by everybody everywhere. Until then...grafician
- Anyone want to be in my team of 4? Currently it's just 1.shapesalad
- The simple fact is rapid and ravid overpopulation, fueled by the industrial revolution. Made it pretty easy to stay alive and trash the place up.garbage

- FYI recycling is a bit of a sham. Instead, buy absolutely nothing if you can. If you can’t, just don’t buy anything with any plastic, ever.nb
- It’s obviously impossible but there are many options. For example, I won’t buy drinks that come in plastic bottles. Only metal cans or glass. It mattersnb
