What's the point of getting old?
>bro just lose your ability to run or jump, shit and piss yourself constantly, become semi-retarded, lose the ability to drive, have to go to the ER for a fall, constantly on 50 meds, have 0 libido, become ugly as fuck, smell like shit, become shorter, lose your voice and much more
Why not just kill yourself at that point?

Every life is sacred o algo

When does that start?
t. 41 year old

>>213850156 (OP)
You're supposed to leave descendants and live vicariously through them

i've had no reason to live for a long time and i havent killed myself so i can see how it happens

>>213850156 (OP)
Because I like eating things and learning and conversation and just experiencing things

Inb4 someone calls this cope but if you take care of your body you can live a dignified life into your 90s. If you drink a liter of beer every day dont act surprised when you can barely walk at 65

>>213850156 (OP)
When i reach that point i'm not taking any meds or ever going to the e.r
i'll just let myself die when nature decides to take me

>>213850156 (OP)
in ancient times when you stopped being useful, they killed you and ended your misery right there

>>213850156 (OP)
I've known fully functional 80+ year olds

>>213850156 (OP)
because we arent supposed to live that long, we fucked it up

its very gradual decline from your 30s that intensifies as you reach your 60s and gets really bad in your 80s and 90s (ages can vary a bit depending on your genetics and lifestyle)

>>213850156 (OP)
you're supposed to help take care of your grandchildren
you're going to reproduce, aren't you?

>>213850156 (OP)
Nature doing its thing? Idk. Dumbass argentimian fucking thread.

>>213850156 (OP)
To see your children grow up, and meet your grandchildren, maybe?

But being seriously old is no joke—I’m middle-aged and already starting to feel it, and my mother is seriously elderly and suffers for it, although she only talks about how much it sucks obliquely. My father had the arguable good sense to die young. Had he made it to what is now my mom’s age, I’m sure he’d be foul-tempered about it.

>>213850156 (OP)
most people are extremely repulsed at the idea of killing themselves even when suffering

About half of these things can be avoided if you just take care of your health

who the hell jumps?

>>213850303
illusion of control

>>213850224
illusion of imortality through reproduction/legacy

>>213850444
illusion of being a special snowflake

>>213850156 (OP)
its not that bas as you make it out to be

>>213850303
Its still a total gamble. I know two people in their 90s who smoked themselves up to that age and are still alive. They both went total cold turkey as well and didn't even get fucked up by it.

>why is everyone afraid of death?
You're so cool bro

>>213850156 (OP)
No offense but I know who you are and you're the dumbest faggot I've seen on /int/ in all my years of browsing and I therefore can only imagine what your life must be like.

Zoomers are scared their women are being taken by millennials who will never die just as boomers
