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.
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.
It's been going down hill since I turned 25. I'm just closer to the end of the ride now.
Turning 35 this year
Why would someone make this using AI when a still from the actual movie would have worked just fine?
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.
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.
Have you considered eating an entire large pizza and drinking a case of beer about it?
That just sounds like a Tuesday
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
Born in 1989. Whenever an older person says, “never get old!” I always say, “it’s better than the alternative!”
Well la dee da lease on life, some of us have joint problems and it's going to get worse
joint problems?
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
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.
Seriously, I'm 41 and over the last year I've slowed slipped into fuck it mode. Don't get me wrong, I still have plenty of things I care about, but so many little things I've just stopped caring about and my life is so much more relaxed because of it. It's amazing what hitting 40 can do to your mindset.
Do you have examples of things you don't pay as much mind to anymore? I am having a hard time picturing that from just the two comments.
Mostly it's everyday stuff, stuff I used to stress about now I'm like, eh it'll get done. Social acceptance is another one, I used to worry about people liking me and couldn't get past it if someone I thought I was on good terms with didn't like me. Now I worry about that much less, don't get me wrong I still want people to like me, but if they don't I can just accept it and move on.
As an example, there was a guy in my office who hated me, I was never anything but nice to him, but he just hated me. The problem was we regularly had to work together on things. In the past I would have been going out of my way to try and get him to like me and find out what it was that he had against me. Now, ok you don't like me, let's just keep the interactions professional and to the point, and I'll just leave you alone the rest of the time.
Basically you just learn to accept yourself and be happy with the good people and events in your life, and learn to just accept and move on from the others.
Shh! Quiet everyone!
...
I can almost make out the words...
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 :)
80s kids play Minecraft? I was almost 30 when that was released and definitely missed that boat
I'm ready.
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.
Maybe I should have a child or buy a house by 40. Idk.
If you say so
I’ve already got the Sunday blues. And I don’t have the money to cope with a midlife crisis.
Thanks.
Doesn't scare me, cancer does.
a kid born in the 90s or someone who was a kid in the 90s (born in the 80s)
I've always considered it the latter.
Same. It's about 90s culture, isn't it? I was born in the early 90s, I didn't consciously experience a lot of 90s things. My formative years were the 00s, therefore I'm not a 90s kid.
I was a kid and an adult in the 90s, this is so confusing 😅
Shut up
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Too late
Now would probably be a good time to start stretching before bed and warming up in the morning.
The dreaded event happens in 8 days for me.... Its so close, I can hear it around the corner.
