#life is finite

[catyuy]

Worst thing about getting older.

Realizing that those family and friends that were around before you were born are getting older as well. And as the years go by, they are more likely to die.

Grandparents, neighbors, actors, aunts and uncles. None of them are eternal. And learning to accept that is very hard.

Every time one of them dies, I think I've finally accepted that loss, only to be hit fresh when the next one starts to go.

How does anyone ever get used to accepting loss?

When you reach a certain age, you realize that life is finite. You can be depressed by that, or you can say, 'I'm going to appreciate every minute to its maximum potential.'

Life Is Finite

Initially came because I saw the hot shark man ridge. Stayed for the masterful story you’re making. I love

Thank you! Here's a bonus doodle of Ridge, as a treat.

Vitally important skill is being able to distinguish extremist political movement as in 'a couple dozen extremely miserable people in a crab bucket of a discord server' and extremist political movement as in 'probably the second largest party in the next Bundestag'. Very different implications in terms of how to treat members and level of, like, urgency involved. Even if the latter's ideas and policies are significantly less horrifying than what the former would do if they could!

I like the subtle world building implications in the differences between the usher foundation and the magnus institute. if the usher foundation and the magnus institute were meant to be direct parallels to each other, then the usher foundation would have been established in like the 1870s in boston or nyc, but no, it's in dc and was founded no earlier that 1955, and that gives me less "old respectable academia" vibes and more "insane reagan era project comissioned to weaponize the supernatural in the cold war that didn't work but was never officially shut down."

saw a photograph of a statue excavated at Delphi -> checked out the Wikipedia article on excavations at Delphi -> realized how utterly shit it was -> spend the first 5 hours of my first day of vacation fixing it instead of spending time with my family

do you guys ever think about, "The point is that they were here at all and you got to know them. When they're gone, it will hurt, but that hurt will remind you of how much you loved them." because I fucking do!

ugh

[elderling]

what you guys who say 'yes im built different' to the immortality poll are missing is the fact that you still have to participate in society. working 9-5 for 4000 years would drive me to bodily hurt people i think.

I would also love for people to understand that. you don't have to tell on yourself.

not to get controversial but i am all for investing your heart and immersing yourself in fiction but not at the expense of your own quality of life
