My wife and I were in a fancy restaurant awhile back.

The fancy restaurant was playing fall out boy.

Wife goes, “that’s weird? Why would a restaurant like this be playing that song?”

I reply, “they’re catering to middle aged people like you. This song is twenty years old”

she goes, “oh my god” as if it finally hit her that she’s old now lol 😂

Reminder: You’re not a young millennial anymore, you’re middle aged now. Your life is halfway over.

You’re dying. Never forget that.

Use it as motivation to make the most of your time left.

Or you can think you've gotten through the struggle, have a stable income, a house, cars, air-conditioning, and now it's time to spend time with your loved ones

Dude! My day was going so well.. wtf...

YOU ARE DYING VITOR

Loool 😅 Wrecked it

When you hear your jam hit the oldies station, that’s the eye opener.

Just wait until Pitbull, Tupac, and Slipknot are on easy listening station.

Well maybe not easy listening but the “classics” station.

I wish I was middle-aged 😅 #BitcoinBoomer

You sure about that lol 🤣

Sure beats being old 😄

Don't want to miss the experience though

Of course not ! And better than being old

Now I'm confused 😅

No, I can be confusing sorry

Just celebrated 37 and the stumbling over kids' culture from 2008 is unbearable. 1990 was 20 years ago, there, I said it.

I don't think being GenX or a Millenial means you're old. It means your struggles are behind you. You have a comfortable cozy home, a family, a stable job, air-conditioning, cars, investments for a rainy day. Now you can spend time with your loved ones and enjoy your coffee ☕

Oh my god. You like Fall Out Boy!

The dying process begins with birth.

When you become aware of it, it should encourage you to lead a virtuous and fulfilling life. ...

Later, the journey continues.

You guys still go to IHOP?

Any 1980s song…

Best. Ever.

I’m already dead ☠️

Just somehow keep coming back to Earth to drop some feels now and again 🤣🫡💜❤️🧡🙏😊🫂

"I'm just a human trying to avoid my certain doom"

-Fall Out Boy

I ain’t dying I’m living

I didn't save the link to the study providing these numbers that surprised me.

History has shown that our most productive decade of life is in our 60s, followed by our 70s, and 50s. Productivity of real value comes mostly at the until end of our journey.

Everything through your 40s is mere preparation for when you're ability to produce value to your fellow man kicks into high gear as knowledge accrues exponentially.

Very skeptical about that statement

Truth.

What's funny about Fall Out Boy is that they made a comeback for the zoomers. A couple years ago my high school friend was telling me about how her high-school kids were into them.

When you stop hearing Bon Jovi at the restaurant, you know you’re in the next level up

😔

Which song was it

I went for a walk in my old neighborhood one night and heard this song playing from a second floor window. Three random guys were playing a cover of it in their living room. It was amazing.

They have some bangers

You have admire the stones on those three random guys, particularly the vocalist. Patrick Stump’s range is incredible…

Thanks for that reminder 🤣😊

Memento mori

100%

My god dude I saw fall out boy in 2003 in a small college venue before they hit the big times. I guess I’m dead on arrival 🤣

I went to high school with panic at the disco lol we’re old bruh

Y’all have heaps of time left. Live it up. 🤘

Damn

You sound fun to go out with.

after reAding this i am now a millennial hell yeah

Word 👏🏼🙏🏼

I said to Wife other day "We need to buy a 20 year old car that doesn't have too much electronics in it."

She looked at me like I was a fnkn moron and said "What like? From the 80's or something?!?"

... I paused before saying calmly

"No, something 2000 onwards..."

Her jaw hit the floor and she looked absolutely crushed!!!

Reality can hit hard sometimes.

Lol bro woke up and chose violence, we are still young for our portion of global net worth we control

or violence? what violence?

Lol hurting snowflake feelings is violence

precisely

Memento mori ✌️

Get busy living or get busy dying ✌️

this meme springs to mind

and recently I saw a ps2 in a retro gaming museum that caused an immediate, volilent visceral reaction

If you think Bitcoin is scarce, we have barely even started. Once this first cohort of Bitcoiners are gone, things really get interesting.

So my theory is as follows: Your first 20 years don’t really count (school, college, etc). Your productive years start after this. You will probably live to 80-90yrs old. This means that by 40 years old you’ve only been productive for a quarter of your life. This means that you should be getting better, faster and really hitting your stride by 50. Not thinking of retiring and dying.

he woke up and chose the couch that day

I have always despised that shit band. Realizing our aging is the nail in the coffin of our youth but also shows our awareness. Age does have some benefits to it.
