Anyone here over 40 years old? How does it feel that more than half your life is already over?

Great, half the suffering is over

We're all gonna die one day :(

it's unironically a relief

Fuck, Im 31, ima go get some work done, you damn zoomers.

40 is great. Be sure you're on trt though

43. Every day I wake up sad that I didn't die in my sleep.

50. Best period of my life.

any of you old fags still smoke or drug?

27, not going to make 30. I'd do the percentage but this is Jow Forums.

To be fair, I wouldn't consider the first 15 years living

42 and prosperous enough to occasionally rent a whore. Well, she calls herself a "companion". It's pretty nice, actually. I get my dicc succ, then she tells me about her grandkids. It winds up being way less confusing and more satisfying than actual relationships I've been in since everything is on the table. Not to mention that I'm having more sex than I did in my 20s and 30s.

41, I don't think half it is over, pretty sure gen exers getting to 100yo is pretty likely. Plus 20 years of life is being a kid, life doesn't really start until you're 20 so really I've only been alive for 21 years

39 here. Wealthy, in shape, hot ass wife, no credit card debt, no loans. Cock works great, do BJJ, could kick 90% of the asses on his low-T, hairless, trap loving board. Pathetic

>half your life is already over?

More like your life is already over. It's deceiving, because people don't take quality of life into account.

It's not much of a life when you're a shriveled up old prune waiting to die.

Im 35 and i still drink and do a little coke on the weekends. It takes such a toll these days. Not as easy as it was 10 or even 5 years ago.

This. We basically get cheated out of actually being able to pursue our wants until we hit 16 and can drive and start working.

40 is not half, we will live 100.

half of my life? here in my country we live at least 90 years, good luck in your polluted city boomer

That's why you stay active and fit you kale male

Half? More like 80%

RIP literal boomers

18, i have my whole life ahead of me you boomers

40 here
I used to make lots of money 200,000+/yr. lost my job at 38. Been looking for another job even close ever since

everything I do I've already done before and children in their 20s now do it better. feelsbad.

Can I still make it Jow Forums if I wasted my life up until my 25th birthday?

25 is still young, you can start fresh anywhere

It's terrible, I get so depressed about it sometimes I think about killing myself

41 here but I'm hedging with calorie restriction, metformin, and rapamycin. That combination will probably carry me past 110 or 115. By that time, I'm banking on my investments being enough to buy the best medical science has to offer which, um, should be enough. Here's hoping.

How's metformin, I'm thinking about trying it?

>past 110 or 115
imagine being this delusional

On the bright side if you're under 30 there stands a good theoretical chance you will live past 100

I've been on it for about six years now solely as a lifespan intervention, i.e., not diabetes and other than some gastronomic unhappiness in the beginning, it's been great. No side effects at all anymore. Along with the rapamycin and calorie restriction, it's the only thing that's been clinically proven to have anti-aging effects so I'd say try it. No snake oil crap.
Maybe. I guess we'll see in 70 years or so, kid.

I was pretty much the same. I started making moves at that point, entered college at around 28, prepping for med school now at 31.

The time is going to pass anyways, the sooner you get started the better but there's a certain point where the ball just starts rolling on its own.

CLEAN YOUR ROOM.

I've wished I was dead every day for the past 16 years. If only you knew how bad things really are.

t. 45

For the naysayers, I look at it like this. I mean, so what if I live a healthy lifestyle, don't smoke, don't drink, reduce stress and inflammation, eat wholesome healthy foods, exercise, have good satisfying relationships, etc. and I still die at 84. I did it all for nothing..
>for nothing

Even if a young member has 15 or 20 years in a 40 something there is zero reason to believe u will live longer than them. In fact a large percentage def wont. A lot of peolple die around 20 to 30. Its the riskiest years of your life. Get past those then ypur odds of a long life go up.

>Anti aging solutions
>DNA modification
>Bio hacking

Poor boomers will die for sure

Death is an illusion matterfag

Even if scientists figured out a way to stop aging permanently, i doubt that governments around the world would allow this technology to proliferate. Overpopulation would be a huge issue unless they start forcibly neutering people like the chinks.

this

48 here. Unironically love to and get to bang the missus daily, get to work or not work mostly as I wish, and wise enough to get into btc four years ago. Imma gonna die surrounded by friends and family, all yall millennials are fucked by baby boomers

Yeah it is far away in the future anyway as well (talking about hundreds of years). Too many people are getting hyped up by entertainers who talk about popular science like Joe Rogan.


There is not even a general consensus yet on what really causes ageing.
As long as the problem is not identified yet you can not start working on a solution and gene editing is in it's infancy as well and still creates more problems than it solves.


But it is nice to have a pseudo religion to hold onto that muffles the fear of death. I do it too.

31 here, you can die in the very next breathe. That is literally how long your life is.

>Remember, we aren't trying to be Case, we're shooting for TessierAshpool

Based boomer reference.

Although at 29 I'm still trying to be Case. I'll pop a couple adderalls and stalk around my city at night, thinking of crypto schemes, bust out Kali linux at my local coffee shop and fuck around on TOR.

Same as me. Just saving up at my current job to go to law school. I'll be a late entrant at 30, but with my current savings, I'll have no debt after I'm done.

> he doesn’t even expect to live to 80
I bet you’re a fat ameriburger aren’t you

This. I'm 32 and I still party and fuck younger women and all that cuz I look young but every single day I feel slower, more tired, and closer to death. I can't imagine being 40. I hope I overdose or something before then.

Good luck clinging to life in a nursing home your last 10 years like a sick dog that needs to be put down

>As long as the problem is not identified yet you can not start working on a solution
This is not actually true. Take any problem that has obvious negative effects. Start throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. In the moment, you may have no idea why it works, doesn't matter if it does. c.f. hand washing and delivering babies. Nobody did it and many women died. Then some dude started shilling hand washing and eventually it caught on. They didn't know why until a long time after when we discovered bacteria and shit.

That's because you're partying. I'm 31 and when I'm doing drugs I'm just fucked up, but when you cut them out, you recover. Just takes a while.

I agree but that is semantics. Sure you can always find something by accident that slows the ageing process but until now we have not unless you count generic stuff like excising, sleeping well eating right and fasting.

So yes that could happen so you can hope but until now it has not and it might never happen.

>you can always find something by accident that slows the ageing process but until now we have not

still better than being dead

Over 40. My almost 40 schizophrenic brother's drug damaged brain makes his life a living hell. His psychotic behavior makes my life a living hell. No amount of wealth will change this. Every day, I hope it's my last.

I thought my life was over at 16 so whatever dude

>when you cut them out, you recover

Imagine being this willfully ignorant.

fine, but the time I get to 80 I'll be entirely comfy with death. My main aim is to ensure that none of my money will be inherited.

I will still be here when im 70. All I have is memes.

That's all I need, baby. Tether's going to the moon!
>comfy with death at 80
Yeah, you say that now. I wonder if I offer you a 357 magnum with one bullet in the chamber on your 80th with a "you know what to do gramps", will you feel differently then? I'll be sure to remind you how "comfy with your death" you claimed you'd be just a few short decades ago.

Ben Franklin did all the shit he's known for at 40+

At the age of 50 Paul Gaugin said fuck it I'm gonna be a painter.

Sam Jackson got famous at age 48.

etc. etc.

How do you plan on dealing with the immunosuppressive effect of rifampicin though? Metformin might help a bit but it seems that if you are not in a sterile environment like the flies worm or labrats they use the disadvantages outweigh the positive effects it may have.
It also just seems to work in the same way a caloric restriction lifestyle leads to a longer life so I don't think you need to take it if you do intermittent fasting.

from the wiki article:
"the known adverse effects caused by sirolimus and marketed analogs, especially the increased risk of infection due to immunosuppression, as well as dose-dependent metabolic impairment, make it unlikely that this could become a widely used anti-aging agent.[51] Among the strategies that have been explored to minimize such side effects are intermittent treatment regimens and combinations with insulin sentitizers (rosiglitazone) or antidiabetics (metformin) to prevent metabolic dysfunction."

Like most things medically related, everybody is different. My man, I've been taking Rapamycin ever since I figured out how to get my hands on it back in 2014 and aside from a few colds here and there and the flu once, not much has changed. Yeah, if you are a child or elderly or just an all around sickly person, maybe stay away. But I'm a 41 year old male with good genetics who's never spent a night in the hospital, has no known allergies or congenital defects. I'm basically in perfect health and the rapamycin nor the calorie restriction have had any deleterious effects. If anything, I'd say start slow, see if it agrees with you. If so, keep going.

if I were your physician I would not be comfortable with you taking rifampicin seems like the risk/reward ratio is not really there same with the metformin.

Focusing on caloric restriction is in my opinion healthier and does a similar thing.


But I get It you are taking an educated gamble I personally would not risk it though.

>40
>half
life past your prime isn't a life

I understand completely. Suffice it to say I am autistic about this to the extreme and have had a hardon for longevity research since I was in my early twenties. I keep meticulous records of my bio markers and on and on. If you knew me, you'd understand. For the typical "bio hacker" dabbler, don't even think about it as you'll probably end up killing yourself. I think we're on the same page though

47 here. comfy , drugging and drinking much more than i was in the 20's . last years recover time just get little longer.
just regret that wasn' t enjoying plenty of what i had on my 20's.

Feels bad man

overpopulation is over-exaggerated, look at a satellite map of the planet during night. we haven't even begun to seriously build vertically either. when up is at the limit we can build down. long before that we'll have off world colonies.

besides, people adapt their number of children to the conditions around them. at least as long as they can afford birth control and as long as sex isnt the only fun thing to do.

tl;dr don't mention overpopulation to be or my wife's son ever again

50? Dang, when did you start lurking

On the other hand, if you survive the culling the access to anti aging medicine will be that much more probable.

I’d want to die if population density gets any greater than it is.

you could fit the entire world population in a tiny fraction of the grand canyon. Vsauce has a video on that.

Ofc you need land to produce food to sustain that population and every person still needs space for themselves but the problem is blown way out of proportion.

I'm probably the oldest person on this board (not revealing age) but older than everyone in here at least.

I don't plan on going anywhere, life extension technology will prolong my life indefinitely.

42.

Never had more options, other grown-ups take me seriously right away, never had less drive. Fuck me.

you pointed out the main problem, not enough good land and fresh water for everyone.

it's not like the population will spring up instantly, technology will allow us to manufacture precise food eventually (not just grow it). i mean if there's not enough food around it will just control the population even more since their babies will die... overpopulation on a global scale just wont happen

holy shit is this the oldest board on Jow Forums

>other grown-ups take me seriously right away
This shit right here makes being 40 worth it. No longer have to "prove" yourself. You don't realize how tedious that is until you're on the other side of it.

Invest that money in crypto, you boomer retard.

45 with a 25 qt. No kids, townhouse almost paid off. Small stash in retirement 350K and some cryptos

Blew money for past 10 years fucking paid young qts so nice to have that at home plus extras like getting balls sucked and ass licked. I don't think I could go back to 20yr again unless I knew all the stuff I know or had lots of money. 20+ years of wage cucking is hell on earth. I know I don't have enough to retire really but I want to start a old fag NEET life as soon as possible scrounging on little if that's what it takes.

Hell yeah man. Neuromancer changed my life. Sometimes I sit staring at my charts with some of the right music playing and the vibe hits me. Crypto is /cyb/ as hell

You are going to make it.

I'm 34 and I have thought about this since age 22. Every birthday I double my age to see if its acceptable to me or not. I'm fairly scared of 40 because most 80yo people annoy me with their insufferable dependence. That being said, 34 years has seemed like an eternity and my happy life began when I met my wife, so I'm only 4 years into the good stuff. Bring it on

Im 38. Spent 15 years doing the "right" thing. Ex got the house alimony up the arse and I barely see my kids who are fucked up after the split and though Ive no agency I am responsible apparently. Fuck wasting the best years of my life to spent the rsst of them miserable.

Fuck that sucks. Don't give in to despair though. I know it's easy for an outsider to say but I have to believe there are options. Look for a support group of men they might have ideas.

I just turned 60 and am having a blast. I still vidya, enough money that I don't have to work, I still get rock hard and since my wife is same age, can creampie her any time I want worry free. Sure, life is shorter now, but I'm having all the fun I can fit in. Things are way less stressful now that I'm older.
