Never tried heroin.

If, by some unfortunate circumstances, I survive to 70, I am doing ALL the heroin!

Why continue to play it safe? So I can eat watered down jello, observe my faculties and senses diminish day by day, and piss my pants for another 10-20 years until I expire like spoiled produce with Matlock playing in the background?

Too many people living and working for a possible retirement that may or may not come are going to be disappointed that all they slaved and sacrificed for was to be a worn out husk sitting in a chair too far into decomposition to start living 65 years in.

My work has taken me to countless retirement communities at every socio-economic level, from wards of the state who signed away their social security, to the wealthy family members that the 1% throws away to die. The only differences are in the food and the common area decor, and some cheap tapestries don't change the reality. There are a lot of courteous smiles, but absolutely zero happiness to be found in any of them in my experience.

I call working with the intent to make it to that literal shitshow planning for failure.

You are not accounting for your changing appetite and priorities though. Willing to bet heroine sounds much less appealing then than now. Maybe stop holding back so much and just do a little heroin now?

Also, check out the 99PI podcast on the Model Village - it might give you some hope for better options, but I'm not too excited as our species and especially my country are pretty good bout fucking these kinda things up.

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

Do a little heroin now, as a treat!

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

70? People these days are still in good shape at 70, I don't know what age you are but by the time you reach 70 you'll probably be today's 60 years old! I don't think we've got that many users on here that are over 60!

[-] Duranie@midwest.social 13 points 2 years ago

I work in hospice and have seen patients (and family members) 90+ who I could have mistaken for late 60s - early 70s. I also recently met a patient's wife who was 20 years younger than him, but was in worse shape and looked his age (82) if not older. Genetics and life experience are wild.

Nice to have you here!

[-] Spaghetti_Hitchens@kbin.social 14 points 2 years ago

I believe that everyone should smoke, drink, and enjoy the occasional hard drug- just start when you're 75 or 80. Fucking party on the way out.

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

What it gonna do, kill you?

[-] herr@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Spoken like a true 20 year old who has no concept of what health at 75 looks like. The alcohol hangovers will last multiple days, you might have a lung condition that prevents you from smoking, your circulation will massively shit the bed off stimulants (think racing heart, cold sweats, feeling weak, anxiety) and opioids... well, opioids might be mostly okay except for the constipation I guess. Withdrawals might incapacitate you for months though.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

constipation, infection, mentally absent, stopping breathing, the crippling pain of withdrawals....

arrogant póster above

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hi, I treat people with SUDs and many of them are in their 60s, some older. Nothing ruins lives like heroin. Nothing. People just want to enjoy their final years with family but addiction rips them away. People lose limbs to heroin. People lose minds.

How about instead you just say you wanna kill yourself at 70? Say it with your fucking chest and stop glorifying poison.

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Of all the things to get clean for in life, your own funeral.

Humans are odd.

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Stay clean, not "get" clean. Recovery is a circuitous path.

[-] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If this was a religion, I'd be asking for the collection plate.

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I agree wholeheartedly. My wife and kid have a standing order that should I get dementia, I am to be left in the woods very far from civilization. And just to make that less likely, On my 70th birthday I will be buying the fastest available motorcycle. And no helmet. Which theoretically should have me reduced to a wet smear on the pavement in short order.

The worst thing I can think of is for me to be a burden on my loved ones.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago

I could have gone my whole life without seeing a Kermit Goatsee

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago

I guess. If you can even call that a life

[-] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Are you really even alive if you've never smashed that kermussy?

[-] Snowcano@startrek.website 23 points 2 years ago

What a terrible day to be literate

[-] sneezymrmilo@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

My God this post is vile 🤣

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Grandma deserves a healthy and natural double fisting too

[-] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This took a turn sharper than grans lower intestine

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yup. What's wrong with it? Are people supposed to shed their libido at some point in their lives?

[-] Whisper06@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Young people sex is kinda gross if you think about it. I understand old people are aloud to have a libido but that doesn’t mean I want to watch it or hear about it.

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Seriously.

I have to go into nursing homes all the time. The ladies at them are the thirstiest women I've ever met.

....but ya know, a hole is a hole 🤷

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago

I ain't into old ladies but a Werther's original is a Werther's original.

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That's where they get practice 😉

And don't get me started on when they remove the dentures!

[-] Deiv@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago
[-] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I used to do the same, and yea they do be getting down all the time. Definitely interrupted a few lemon parties.

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 years ago

Just curious here, but why did you guys see the title "Senior Citizen Sex" and still decide to click the link?

On second though, I don't want to know.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Because a lot of people find older folks having sex really icky. And it's such a deeply ingrained and weird take.

So I'm here to dispute it.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 years ago

They are all members of the Lemon Party.

[-] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I have spent my waking life on the Internet since 2400 baud modems. Christ, Lemonparty made the rounds since 2002. Nothing fazes me.

[-] steakmeout@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Can’t have a Lemonparty without Old Dick!

My better half works in a nursing home. The one she works in now is more "independent", she used to work in a nursing home that also had a "memory care" (Alzheimer's/dementia) wing.

She explains that the sex is rampant. Her favorite story was about a couple who would sneak into a supply closet to do the sweaty, wrinkly deed. But they weren't as sneaky as they thought, because they would park their walkers outside the closet.

What happens sometimes, is you have these elderly people, who have lost someone they have been married to for decades. And they're lonely, but they are surrounded by other people around their age who have also lost someone who was in their lives for decades.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 16 points 2 years ago

Plus they don't have anything else to do.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

In a few years, they'll all be playing counter strike instead of jumping each other.

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I dream of my final years being like my first days: playing videogames viciously.

[-] dipshit@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Grannie can get it

[-] PeePantsMcgee@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

I just sent this to my mother-in-law AND father-in-law

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Downloaded and scheduled text to my child for 35 years from now.

[-] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Used to deliver medication to an air force vet at a nice retirement residence, would knock on the door and hear a woman go "teehee just a minute" and there'd be like two ladies on the couch in his living room space. Guy was living the dream lol

It's actually mostly hand stuff.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

As someone in their 40s with a teenager, I'm looking forward to my 50s when it's possible I might get to have sex again. Because they don't have a bedtime.
