Who Wants to be 18 Again?

[Torn Mind]

Sounds like a lot of work, and he looks so unnatural. What's the point of trying to live longer if your entire life revolves around trying to live longer. Rather just enjoy life.

He might not necessarily live longer, but he is healthier, even though it's clear the vegan diet is "incomplete" without supplements; the most damning of veganism being the needed supplements of iron and testosterone. A little meat causes an increase in the uptake of non-heme iron such as that found in beans. Uptake can be further enhance with a vitamin C source. Beans are not a substitute for meat, but a complement.
In addition, the fat-soluble vitamins like A and K are naturally better absorbed in fat. So, it's better to eat broccoli drenched in some good oil like extra virgin olive than eating it bare.

Being in a hospital/nursing home sucks. It's basically a sanitized G-rated version of being stuck in a prison.
Chemotherapy sucks. It's poisoning to delay an immediate outcome.
Being put on a statin is essentially nutrient deprivation to delay or stop a negative outcome(heart attack/stroke).

Fuck no

B-12 man, B-12. Without that you will actually lose your mind, and you only get it from things that eat grass.

This!

do you really want to live forever?

Lol, I just listened and noticed that song quotes Pachelbel's Canon in D.

@brianmanahan
In addition, laugh all you want, but Mariah breaks rules in subtle manners just like in Mozart's Jeunehomme. Indeed, it could be called the "Jeunehomme Principle"(Well, Jenamy's the real name) in that the soloist has an interjection in a section where the "machine"(orchestra/backing music) is expected to play alone merely a couple measures in. Then, as the piano introduces itself, it's nice long trill for three measures, harmonizing with the orchestra "prematurely" before the orchestral section fully ends. Then, candena-like flourish before the main theme is properly repeated as expected in a sonata-allegro.

It's all about Transitions and Progressions with those two(and select others), for the sake of conveying Emotions. They operate on the same wavelength!!!!

 

[Torn Mind]

LOL no.

Prison is R-rated. Being G-rated means much is missing in the hospital/nursing home experience compared to actual prison, but key elements remain. One being that the food is shit. Another being that autonomy is heavily reduced. Three, the environs are anything but stimulating or comforting. In fact, "Club Fed" prison might be on par with or slightly better than being an inpatient or especially a nursing home resident.

This doesn't even go into illegal billing by hospitals just because they can and bank on a select number of those billed to expire before they can rebut the bill.


My grandmother got placed in the portion of a nursing home in which a passcode is required to enter or exit the area while the county had guardianship.

piano concerto no. 9 is a staple on my car playlist! i've listened to the whole thing while driving to work at least a hundred times.

no mariah carey on that playlist though, unfortunately

I went my entire life with chronic pain & fatigue. I finally got the right medical diagnosis last year & have enjoyed a full 6 months of zero anxiety, zero pain, zero fatigue, and zero brain fog for the first time in my life.

No way I would ever want to go back to 18 lol. I felt terrible at 18!

 

[MrSquished]

I want to be 32 again. Exactly 32

 

[Maxima1]

Who wouldn't want to be 18 again? If that is you, then maybe Bryan Johnson might be someone to follow. He is a 45 year old billionaire. He eats 70 pounds of veggies a month. Takes over 100 supplements a day.

His stool is analyzed every day, and he is pricked, probbed and prodded daily by the best doctors in the world. All to look and feel young. His organs are all functioning at their prime supossedly.

Nothing out there like that. He has a site I see. The point currently is just reducing disease risk and increasing chance of living to 90-120.

Blueprint

On the surface, Blueprint may seem something about health, wellness and aging. It's really a system to make tomorrow better for you, me, the planet and our shared future with AI.

It all seems a bit strange and narcissistic. But, hopefully we can learn something from this personalized experiment that Bryan is conducting on himself.

Doesn't seem all that different from your obsession with the side hustle. Some of these rich guys I guess are afraid they won't make it to the singularity, or at least reach escape velocity from the aging process if a breakthrough in the future occurs.

Yes, He looks like an 18 year old robot with a rubber coating instead of skin.

Seeing your post, I find it funny he was with Hillary Girl.

"Hillary, you've got great skin, better than most women, you can totally win!"

He also takes metformin, which gives a hmm.

Silicon Valley techies are turning to a cheap diabetes drug to help them live longer

Doctors feel that taking metformin is mostly safe, but cautioned about the lack of clinical studies.

It's because of some hyped studies, though in his case I find it odd because he's healthy. It may help if you're obese or near it.

Alchemy may be dead, but the desire for the "Elixir(s) of (longer) Life" remains everpresent in the majority of the human collective and even motivates some of modern science.

well, I will say this, back before I was bald and fat I could, on rare occasions, get sex.
And sex is fun.
Also one time when I was 19 I fucked and nutted in a lady 3 times in one night.
I asked if she could squeeze her pussy muscles and she did. Went twice in a row, waited about 6 minutes, went a third time.
Unrelated: 35 year old moms love us. LOVE us.

 

[BoomerD]

I turned 18 as a Marine in Vietnam...so, HELL YES! (but I want to know everything I know today...and the stuff I've forgotten since then.)

You either have a very good memory or a disturbing set of folders on people!

ATOT folder with interesting threads by members in them. Pics shared here over the years, some already lost in their original site (pics.bbzzdd.com).
In 23 years you can accumulate all those memories to look back at. Some happy/funny, some sad. Members who've died, but I don't have a list, just a few memorables ones I've interacted with (PM/messages).
