Oh stop it. It’s not the same anymore. Sex I haven’t had in over 30 years. I didn’t understand the fuss over something that has such a small payoff for such an enormous investment of resources.
Music? Look, I used to go out clubbing and dance til 3AM, and sometimes even head out to after parties, for the music. It was fun. Do you think sitting at my computer chair and listening to one song a day is the even near the same level of enjoyment?
Things just change as you get older. Can we stop pretending otherwise?
He does sound unhappy, but come on, taunting him for it seems a bit unnecessarily cruel I think. I genuinely feel bad when I hear people excluding themselves from life’s pleasures because of age. I mean, sure, I’m old so I don’t have sex or consume music in the same way I used to. But I don’t have any plans to give up and stop listening, it’s one of the things that makes life worth living I feel. If anything, it means more to me now than it ever has. Hearing people willingly give these things up makes me pretty sad honestly. So I’m gonna listen to a song that vibes with my sadness right now :-)
I don’t know, I’ve never met anyone who actually prefers the stick. I know that the stick is a necessary measure in a lot of policy making to improve efficiency, but I’ve never seen the receiver preferring it to the carrot. Not trying to attack you or anything, just wanted to share my thoughts since you wrote that your intent was to induce a moment of self reflection. In my experience, that’s far easier to achieve with the carrot, particularly when strangers discuss stuff online. Anyway, I’ll stop talking now, have a good day.
So, at what age do you intend to stop having sex, and even stop listening to music?

sounds like you’re unhappy. maybe you need to get laid, but with that attitude I can understand why nobody would want to touch you.

I was crass because they insist that everyone over a certain age should give up like they have.
my intention wasn’t to torment them, but to provide a moment of self-reflection.
some care for the carrot, others prefer the stick.
