I’m 62, which is embarrassingly old to be effing around on the fediverse.
But I just want to say these octogenarians can’t possibly represent me.
It’s partly their age.
But to me wealth is the more corrupting factor. Some of these people have never had a real job, or at least in decades.
I’m both hoping to work until I’m 70 or die sooner.
These rich assholes can’t represent anyone except other rich assholes.

You will. I’ve got some years left. I will admit the move from Reddit was a bit perplexing.
But I’m learning. Sync and Thunder are interesting. Working out for me.
I am in my thirties and see the decisions these people are making will ensure that I never get to “retire”. It partly their age but mostly their wealth, does Glitchy Mitch have to worry about money, fuck no. You be be sure that he is going to horde all the wealth he can and do his best to look like the Pale man from Pans Labyrinth
I will never understand the people who have enough money for thirty lifetimes but not only keep working, but keep working a job that involves being a full time piece of shit.
I can understand people who love their jobs holding on, which makes me think they love being pieces of shit more than spending more time with their families and pursuing passion projects.
Most people under thirty are facing their “retirement” being two weeks of palliative care that wipes out their savings but there’s 80 year olds out there dragging their bodies out or bed each day to try and take even more.
You’re welcome here!
I agree, I’d rather see the wealth divestments, gift disclosures…
Maybe this age thing is actually a cop-out and is just a lead up to trying to change the voter age. I don’t support it.
It seems like there are some ugly games played involving voter age. I don’t like it.
stop talking shit about @FReddit@lemmy.world 😠
I appreciate that.
Early 50s and my back hurts…
I had some kind of random ten years’ of good health through my fifties. Then it all came to a stop like a train wreck – pneumonia, Covid, chemotherapy. And somehow I ended up type 2 diabetic.
Doh!
5 years ago I was running triathlons…I’ve since slowed down a bit lol…
That’s not slowing down. That’s reassessing with style.
I like the way you think.
Well, I’m trying to think.
This is pretty vague stuff, but I stopped doing the one activity I was really active in, mountain biking, and then my health went to hell for a while.
Coincidence? Hard to tell.
