I dreamed how great I could achieve, but found out I am an ordinary person and it’s hard to manage my life. Now I admit how mediocre I am.

Turning 35 this year
Shh! Quiet everyone!
...
I can almost make out the words...
It's been going down hill since I turned 25. I'm just closer to the end of the ride now.
Turned 40 this past week. Was just bemoaning that most of my company don't get the :holdontoyourbutts: Samuel L Jackson emoji in slack and now this.
I’ve already got the Sunday blues. And I don’t have the money to cope with a midlife crisis.
Thanks.
Did an AI try to recreate this image?
I think you're right. Aside from screenshots showing it looks wrong, here's the actual scene: https://youtu.be/yZszK_M_9_Y
It's not there, unless I'm missing it.
A couple of comments are suggesting that, but I remember this scene and just assumed it was a weird still from the movie.
I'm confused why someone would've recreated it, or modified part of it with AI, but it's possible.
oh god oh fuck
Maybe I should have a child or buy a house by 40. Idk.
If you say so
Turned 40 last month and to be honest I'm kinda struggling with depression right now
This is going to sound stupid, but during college, I took a lot of different types of math and history classes.
As humans, we invented years, and ages. Then we made milestones for what they represented. We said, there are 7 days in the week. We said, there are 52 weeks in a year. Some other BS happen and then culturally we said things like by age 30, you should be married. By age 40, you should have a family.
But imagine if we actually made a week 10 days? Or there's 30 weeks in a year? Suddenly, this is all BS numbers. Back to culturally, why is 30 a specific number? Or 40? Or any of these numbers?
For me, 40 is just a made-up number. It means nothing. The expectations around the number, bullshit. My friend is 55, and we went bar hopping. I hung out with a 70 and played Frisbee. I pitched go-karts and dressing up like Mario Kart to my 60yo neighbors.
Just made up numbers.
Of course, don't get weird and and try to shoehorn underage relationships. That's not the intent here.
Sure, to an individual, the milestones seem stupid but they're the common milestones the average reach. Most people by 30 are married. Most by 40 have an established career and family. But to agree, who cares? We have one life and there's plenty of worry's to go around, so don't add keeping up with the Jones to the list.
Time for a mid life crisis then
Wish I could afford a midlife crisis
You can always pick up excessive running, just because you get a midlife crisis doesn't mean it has to involve a Porsche.
Have you considered eating an entire large pizza and drinking a case of beer about it?
That just sounds like a Tuesday
At 38, 2 walks a day is helping, but I'm bouncing between anxiety and depressive symptoms. It beats drinking or meds!
Working out is also helping, but not as much as the sunshine. Good luck, fellow old fart :).
You age a day everyday, how you choose to group those ~14600 is up to you.
Why would someone make this using AI when a still from the actual movie would have worked just fine?
Because using AI for even the most trivial tasks to accomplish the same thing quicker and far worse quality is the latest thing.
I think it took like 10 minutes, 5 of which was loading the movie up and finding the right shot. How quickly does AI do it?
It depends on the service, but it's usually within a few seconds to a minute.
It’s a useful way to dodge automated copyright flagging systems if you’re trying to churn out meme page content and crosspost it on many platforms.
So you're saying AI image generation is encouraged by the copyright system?
Paradoxal!
I was wondering why it looked off. The skin has this "plastic wrap" sheen to it that every AI-generated human seems to have, and the raptor looks like a giant plastic toy.
As someone who died at 28, spent six months in ICU fighting my way, I’m SO excited for 40! Growing old is a privilege, not everyone gets to
I doubt you'll live to be 40!, but good luck all the same.
Born in 1989. Whenever an older person says, “never get old!” I always say, “it’s better than the alternative!”
Yeah I never expected to even reach thirty with my self-destructing body and ever worsening mental health. Every year towards fourty is quite the achievement
That's how I'm trying to see it... age is a gift not everyone gets
I'm ready.
As an 80s kid, hitting 40 was the best thing that ever happened to me. Shit that used to matter suddenly doesn't, like you flipped a lightswitch. You get new superpowers, and they're all bitchy. I recommend it to everyone.
I remember a survey done years ago that people say 30s and 40s are the best years of their lives.
that was probably years ago
It wasn't that long ago. The survey was conducted 3-5 years ago iirc.
Fuck you OP. I still have 2.5 years. Don't remind me
Doesn't scare me, cancer does.
80s kid here: it's not that bad and mostly what you decide to make out of it. still playing magic the gathering, minecraft and irl boardgames :)
Shut up
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
