You don’t know what jazz is, it doesn’t mean the same as blues.

>>214232918

I don't give a shit.

>>214232842 (OP)
41 is old as fuck. At 41 you're supposed to be sending kids to college.

>>214232842 (OP)
People say that at 25. It's just him complaining. Plus, that's the age of the actor, not the character, who for all we know might be 10 years older.

>>214232842 (OP)
well yes
i'm 38 and i'm getting too old for some shit too
you're not young anymore after 35
but yeah i mean you're still usually young enough for some shit up till 46 which it's the main thing for human beings
procreation
but there's actually not total objectivity there
besides he was being fair he still did it regardless

Yes but the character he was playing in the movie was 50.

Black people age differently to white people.

>>214233499
That's funny, what else do black people do differently from white people?

>>214233033
>, who for all we know might be 10 years older.
If you ever watched the movie, you would know the big part of the story is his 50th birthday in the opening and him feeling too old for all the antics he goes through... and that's before he even meets Riggs.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night in a panic about how time has run out and you've fucked up?

>>214233806
Nope, I'm 27, I still have time.

>>214232842 (OP)

Okay, but what the fuck did he mean by this?

he looked so young in the sequel

>>214233908
Yeah. I'd say that if you're a guy it's age 35 when you really have to urgently sort your life out if you ever want to have a family.

>>214232842 (OP)

>too old for this shit
I will literally be too old for this shit in a year and yet I feel like I could be his adopted white son.

It's crazy that cops and soldiers used to retire on full pensions at 40-45 years of age. Fucking bums.
>LAPD gets 50% salary for life at age 50, with 20 years employment.

You go to a doctor and they're like "you are now old".

IDF take, if you have such a problem with it why don’t you go out and strap on a gun and deal with the fucking dregs of society day after day, year after year? Imagine having to deal with retarded ass negros selling their kids for crack money or homeless old alcoholics with bugs crawling on them. Go fuck yourself Shlomo. Those men are the only thing protecting your faggot ass from being victimized.

>>214234001
Pretty low. Much lower than retail, construction and driving.

>>214234044
>why don’t you go out and strap on a gun and deal with the fucking dregs of society day after day, year after year?
The police don't allow it. Not only do they not allow it, they become extremely mad at people who do it. People, like nurses or 7/11 clerks deal with the same dregs day in, day out, with none of the protection police earn. Police and military, like all government jobs, are absurdly overpaid and inefficient. We could privatize them and hire jeets to do it for half the price.

>>214234047
but think of the stress!

>>214234079
>hire jeets
Yes they’ve done SUCH a bang up job with their own country, imagine calling the police because someone is breaking into your house in the middle of the night and they show up and rape your wife and daughter, shit in your hallway, steal your identity and then fuck off. Great idea. Tell me something, were you born retarded or did you have to work at it?

>>214233806
No.
I'm past a suicide attempt in 2017, didn't work out, so I sorted my shit instead.

>>214234521
You hire them to keep the competent employees on their toes. Tell cops that they will only have self contributing retirement funds, 60 hour weeks and a retirement age of 70. If they bitch or whine, fire them and pay the jeets OT for a few months until you hire new cops fresh out of school. This system has worked well for all other businesses like airlines, tech, construction etc. Also make it piece work. More arrests, more pay.

>>214234675
So born that way then. Got it.

Lethal Weapon 1/2 are so comfy.

That's gonna be a YIKES from me.

I'm 39. Going through a weird existential crisis over how fast the time has gone the past few years and how it's all downhill from here. Like I have this fear of just waking up and being elderly now, it's weird.

>>214232842 (OP)
Police can retire after 20 years. asume he joined army at 18 years old and became cop at 21 years old, then yes, he's old enough

>>214233806
2-3 times a night, i fucked so much shit up without even realizing it at the time

>>214232842 (OP)
I'm also turning 40 soon. My 30's passed by so fast it's like they never existed. Each year that goes by the chances of me making something of myself grow smaller and smaller.

>>214233971
You can retire after 20 years in the Navy also. So if enlist at 17, you can retire at 37. Almost nobody can last that long though, which tells you how bad it sucks.

>>214233908
Pfft. It's all over for you. You need to have it all in the can by 10.

>>214233806
Nah. I had a breakdown around 2022~ when I turned 30. Failed attempt, waitress at the diner near the train station called me "young man". Realized... I was still young enough to change shit and promptly did. I'm happy now with how things are. Do I wish I knew this earlier? Sure. But I can't change anything but what's ahead so no use in worrying about it.

Kill yourself already, you useless waste of oxygen

I was the kind of guy who looked down on pop culture and normies>>214235797
back in the day while being one of those shut-ins with pretenses of knowledge and art..Nowadays some pop track from the 2010s will be on my YT and I'll feel so empty thinking how I blew it. I did nothing. Had no fun nor did I create/do anything. Shouldn't be here anymore and try to make something out of what's left of my life. Yet I can't.

>>214233806
nah, im okay with where i am and where im going
life is manageable and i have both goals and dreams im working towards that are realistic and achievable

>>214235924
Yeah at least if you had a good time wasting your life. But when you have no accomplishments and had a terrible time anyway, you might as well have just spent those years grinding.

>>214232950
That would mean you had a kid at 24. If the kids are spaced two years apart it would mean you had the older one at only 22. And got the woman pregnant at 21. Come on now be realistic

>>214233806

I still have time to fix a few things, but yes, it sucks having to accept that your life is irrevocable fucked because your old and you've blown your load.

>>214235720
>You were turning 30 when I started browsing here
I remember how old that sounded to teenage me (still sounds old though lol).

>>214232842 (OP)
>>214232950
Back then 40 year olds were old, now it's not anymore because people age differently than they did decades ago
It's a fact, back in the old days you already had a family and your own house in your mid 20s

I had a cool job for 5 years, without making plans about how to do a similar job for 50-100% more money, like what a smart person would do. Fuck up, had to quit, and got into heavy drinking. Sober now, but it's pretty terrible thinking about where I should be, instead of where I am in life.
You should literally start planning out how you can retire when you're 14 years old in modern america, unless you're really smart enough and prepared to "wing it" like you can get into MIT and just stumble into a good life.

>>214236466
40-year-olds are still old, it's just they're old in a different way. I think it's the people in their 30's that can still teeter the edge of looking and seeming young/cool provided they're fit and keep an active social life.

>>214236592
Meh, Harrison Ford was 46 in Last Crusade. 30's and 40's are your peak as a male. Your 50's are when the age/experience balance begins to tip and even then not by much.

Black cracks

>>214233806
No but the thought haunts me constantly when I'm awake so I have to constantly keep myself distracted.

Danny Glover never felt forced, in fact he elevates anything he's in, LW, Predator 2... how did 80s/90s hollywood jews do it?

Kanako Urai is 43 years old and looks younger than Billie Eilish or Billie Brown or Sabrina carpenter. But then again, Scarlet Johansson or Christina Hendricks also look older than the ageing zoomers.

They had an interest in keeping the nation together and not exacerbate race issues as they still needed the USA to be a functional entity for smashing potential threats to their world order. After the USA achieved complete hegemony, they could just pit the goys against each other to loot the whole empire undisturbed.

It's common for men to reach their peak 35+ if they take care of themselves physically and don't go bald, for women it's very rare to still be at their peak past their 30s, some women are able to get more attractive the older they get but that's very very rare

This might be stupid but I think that men can age better because their lives are not exactly "easy mode" where everyone loves you or respects you just for existing so they have a reason to work on themselves or maintain a healthy physique, women on the other hand are showered with compliments and love from everyone so they have less reason to care about those things, therefore age hits them the hardest
The other actual reason is that age hits them the hardest on a biological level

>>214238605
Women value competency most in men. They want the feeling of security "he can handle anything". A man's competency peaks in their 30-50's. Men value fertility most in women. Female fertility peaks between 15-25.

>>214237656
Manly virtues.
Danny Glover, besides being a good actor himself, benefited from scripts that appealed to humans, not radical academics. When he was on screen he portrayed the type of man that people esteem, strong, tough, duty bound, proud of his city/country, loving his family, etc. Whatever your view of the black experience in America, his qualities as a man made him likable. The writing centered around qualities that anyone, who isn’t a deliberately obnoxious egghead, can admire, instead of a laser-like focus on racial performance catering to a narrow view of what is “black”.

Perhaps in the 1950s

It's not the 1950s anymore.

46 is when most wrestlers are retired, so it's quite old.
