    I’m 40 and I can’t afford a midlife crisis. Buy a sports car? Lol. A Harley? Double lol. A boat or a vacation home? Nope. I can’t even afford to splurge on a gaming pc or such.

    Just working till the day we die, as we’re supposed to be according to our overlords.

    Sometimes… I silently wish Covid had been deadlier on the older generations… I mean it’s cruel, but I feel the world as a whole would be better off today.
