I just learned of a benefit to aging and I'm 100% overusing it.

@A_Minion @fesshole I'm 74 and nobody ask me if I need help and I wouldn't need any help. Maybe with digitale stuff, yes.

[reallylazybear@mastodon.social]

@fesshole I can't wait to be 58. Only 34 years to go...

@Tabby_Schaf @fesshole

You must be far better preserved than I am. I consider myself to be part of the D-Generation! 8*)

@fesshole Same age but that doesn’t work for me. Instead I just wind up doing things for even older people.

[severtz@mastodon.online]

@fesshole You don't have my family!

[beggarmidas@mastodon.social]

@fesshole Yeah, anything but listen to anything useful you have to say.

[solitha@mastodon.social]

@fesshole Two possible corollaries:

1. You look much older.

2. You're crying wolf, and will eventually understand the moral of that old story.

@fesshole not in families! /s

@whybird @Tabby_Schaf @fesshole

In most cases it's been presented as a question & the intent is honest. I also live in Alaska where we will offer advice from our own expertise.

I was a carpenter in the bush, I'm also pretty well broken up & it's obvious. If I'm in Lowes & someone looks confused I will offer from my experience.

The only people who appear offended are those new to Alaska & probably who could really use what we offer. Alaska requires skill in many & varied situations.

This is an interesting place to live. I've been here over 50 years. We never know what's going to happen next. Fishing for rainbow in a quiet stream, turn around and be nose to nose to a moose who had tiptoed up very very quietly. 8*)

@A_Minion @whybird @Tabby_Schaf @fesshole What do you do in that situation? It sounds scary!

@fesshole And yet, empathy is still to be learned…

[karlheinzhaslip@climatejustice.social]

@fesshole I know this was a joke, but to warn y’all, this contributed to me going no contact with my mom, a waify undiagnosed borderline.
