        You’re doing it wrong then. Life can be fun. It can be fun for not just years, but decades

          I’m middle-aged so I’ve already had more than my fair share of fun (I’m great at taking the ‘fun’ out of ‘too much fun’), but I think my warranty expired a few years ago. I got a new and exciting autoimmune disorder and this stupid meat suit is almost literally self-destructing

            Yeah, I’m 45ish and I went zero carb to get rid of body fat and bad health. The common diet is fucking us up.

              The diet; the microplastics that you eat, drink and breathe; the endocrine disruptors that you huff from your home’s PCB-finished wood floor, or dishwasher detergent buildup inside you; extremely hygienic environments which make for overeager immune systems; pollution; the pesticides that Monsanto assured you are totally safe and go great with their proprietary genemodded sterile cereals which they also assure are totally safe; the near-eternal organofluorides you get exposed to because there’s a chemical plant 100km upriver with a gung-ho attitude towards waste disposal, and all the slightly scratched Teflon pans you kept using because it’s fine; or the trillion other things we’re doing to fuck up just about literally everything that lives anywhere on this planet, including our own sorry asses

                I eat highland raised beef, fed entirely on their pasture, so probably very little pesticide or gene edited cereals

                It’s only national parks uphill, upstream, from them

                I use cast iron to cook, I dislike plastic cooking tools, so I use pans that can tolerate steel.

                I drink from glass almost exclusively and I donate plasma, which is probably the only way of getting rid of PFAS chemicals (the “forever chemicals”)

                You and I have heard the same stories. I follow “better to be safe than sorry”

                I really care about food

                Oh don’t forget about asbestos

    Lizards were created by boomer turtle parents selling the family turtle shells to spend the rest of their lives on a cruise ship.

    Imagine having to raise all 300 of 'em. Parents must be stoked most get sniped on the beaches.
