What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger? (piefed.social)

Live in the past, is mine. I will listen to things over and over because some songs or even podcast episodes, rewind me back to times where I felt comfortable in. I do sometimes poke my head out to see where things are currently in the present, but nothing around really makes me gravitate to anything current-day. But, then I just go back to my hole in living in the past.

People used to tell old people to get over it about them remembering things as they were all of the time. I'm understanding why they do that. Sometimes the present really truly sucks.

Sorry, ima speed runner, so I sequence broke. I used the kidney failure glitch to get a bunch of old person achievements early, but now that I got the transplant achievement (and the cancer beaten one by doing this complicated trick of avoiding a specific virus almost no one has to get cancer from said virus via transplant) I'm back on some of the young people achievement farming.

Taking a guess - some kind of polyomavirus - probably BK?

Nope; Epstein-Barr virus.
