  • Had a friend, super advanced in math/science. Basically finished high school in 2 years, went to university at 14/15, took computer engineering or some similar hard STEM program, was a teaching assistant tutoring people older than him, snuck into the university bars a few times showing his student ID while he was underage because his many people expect a 17 year old graduate student?

    Anyways he became a pastor.






  • You’ll be perpetually behind the times. People tend to get set in their ways even by their 30s. You’ll constantly lag behind the trends, language, and tastes of the younger generation…

    If you were the first to be immortal, you may not have the best version of immortality and it may render you incompatible with better, future types of immortality. Like magical regeneration that prevents you from getting a personality upload to a cyberbrain that is a million times faster and smarter than the squishy biological brain.


  • No matter how old, how experienced, or how talented you are, there’s always some Asian kid that’s better than you.

    You gain some kind of magical immortality ahead of everyone else… But then, a few hundred years later, everybody else gains some kind of technological immortality that’s way cooler/better, that your magical immortality is incompatible with. And you get left behind as the slow, weak, dumb, magical, biologically immortal human while everyone else is zipping around at light speed with gigabrains and shiny chrome spaceship bodies with 20 additional senses.







  • I love mine. Hyundai Ioniq 5.

    2 years so far and it’s been great. Wouldn’t ever go back to gas. I don’t even have a charger at home, but there is charging at work. I only need to charge it like 2 shifts per week, maybe 3 if I did a lot of driving, so it’s not hard to keep it topped off just from work. Every once in a while the work parking lot is so damn full every single day that I can’t charge there all week… So I have to suffer the inconvenience of… Going to a gas station and using their fast charger. Ugh.

    Road trips take a bit more planning but I don’t go on many road trips anyway. One per year, at most.

    Weekend mountain trips and camping/skiing is great, though.
