Shut up, brain! When we were 9, you didn’t even know what cringe was!
Perpetually tired mental health counselor, sometimes retro game streamer, comedian, Mensan, coffee connoisseur, bacon lover, chronic pain survivor, nefarious pirate, and generally all-round nice dude…
Shut up, brain! When we were 9, you didn’t even know what cringe was!
I look forward to the day when I pass my screen name on to my son…
That’s not really a shitpost. That’s fucking good!
Reminds me of a stinger for Adult Swim or something from the early days of MTV animation or the art style Liquid Death uses.
Step outside into the heat and your sweat will instantly steam them out. Thanks global warming!
“Dry-cleaners hate this one millenial secret!”
And, to this day, I still crave that super thin wedge of pizza once in a while.
Tylenol, acetaminophen in the US.
It’s paracetamol everywhere else.
Somehow the dog always knows…
The torch has been passed…
Didn’t see anyone suggest it, but I can’t recommend it enough, spend time with your parents, and, if they’re still alive, your grandparents!
This really put it into perspective for me.
If you were a late baby like me, your parents are likely getting into their 70s now. You may have 20 years with them. You may have 5. I’m lucky if get to see mine once a month because of work. That’s around 60-240 times left to see them. If I spend an hour with them each time(which is a stretch), that’s 10 days tops. Enjoy the time you have with them and pray you’re lucky.
Also, if you have any loved ones, tell them you love them every chance you get. My wife and I have traded "I love you"s nearly every day for the past 23 years. You never know when it’ll be the last time, so say it as much as you can to anyone you care about! It doesn’t cost anything, and tell me it’s not great to hear when someone says it to you. Spread that shit around!
Lastly, if you can afford it, travel. You don’t have to travel the whole world, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. I know people hate on them, but my wife and I book at least 1 AirBnB a year. We find a cheap place that’s only a day’s drive away and book it for a week. Just get outside of the safety net that is the streets and places you know.
For that matter, take any opportunity you can to make new memories. We are creatures of habit, and our brains don’t like to waste. It’s believed that one of the reasons our days feel like they fly by is because we’re following a routine that our brain meshes with the memory of similar experiences and routines to save energy. Being in new places, experiencing new things, and making new memories may help with breaking up those moments where the day, week, month, or year are gone in a flash.
The number of clients I get who are clearly struggling with the burden of “what a man is and isn’t” would astound you… Hint: It’s a lot!
No, boys aren’t OK…
Just be you, friends!
Oh come on…
You can’t hang an awesome horn up like that and not expect everyone not to honk it…
That’s like putting out a bell and telling people they can’t ring it!
