I think people my age l look so much older than me. I’m not saying I look young, just that if I see a 42yr old they seem older to me. I think I’m in denial that I appear older than I’d like to admit.
I'm a little older than you and have also experienced this so you're not alone hah. Especially when I go back and look at pictures of my parents or grandparents at my age....they all looked old and weathered. Other than some grays in my beard, I think I've held up fairly well all things considered.

Like you said, maybe it's just me - but I don't think I look (or act) my age. Just yesterday I stopped for lunch near one of the state universities where there's a ton of students around, and some 18 or 19 year old girl was at the counter. She asked me if I was a grad student lol. In my head I was like "I started college before you were born for fucks sake" lol. I guess I'll take the compliment though :)

For the record, asking if you want fries with that does not mean she is into you. Just to be clear.

LOL! Jk. Since I made that comment, I have asked so many people if they can relate and every single one of them agreed. I shaved my beard off last weekend (dramatic difference) and people have told me I look “much younger“ although I would have preferred them just saying I look “young.” ?

I will add this to my above comment. My wife and I started dating in 2004 (married in 2008), and when I go back and look at those pictures of us back in our earlier years together it's like "Jesus Christ we look like baby-faced kids" lol

I use the winner rating for that sometimes.
Yeah. I love how we all have developed a system within the system for ratings. Like, there is a primary meaning but also a secondary one that could mean something emphatic, sarcastic, a slur, etc. depending on the rating. It’s one of my favorite things about this place - a community language.

I don't like that everyone can use the pineapple. I like when only I can use it.

I used to love Nutella for my whole life, until I saw an image of what it's made of. Now every time I see it in the supermarkets, I see this image in my mind:



And it's not even that egregious really, I'm sure there's a million products that look just as bad or worse. But I can't unsee it.

I think I've had it 2-3 times the past decade. With bananas and crêpes. I couldn't give a fuck what's in it, I just don't eat dessert that much.my ex had a condition, not diabetes, but fucken similar, which meant she had to keep her sugar levels right, so she was always chowing down on dessert. She wasn't fat, she could be a model, in fact she was kinda pissed off she wasn't, she fell outside some criteria for Victorians secret and it upset her. But seriously, I could order a steak and she could just order a dessert, I can't remember her condition, but she's a nutritional official, she gives out food stamps and comes up with dietary plans for poor/fat people.

I was behind this guy on the way home today.

Not sure this is a good idea for a vanity plate...
