Turn 40 in about a month and let me tell you, it’s dope AF. I’ve got more friends than I know what to do with, having way more fun than in my 20s and I’m not tied down to raising a kid. I go to cons and adventures all the time that I couldn’t do nor afford if I had kids. Having kids always grossed me out. I’ve got friends with kids that I can corrupt as needed.

The problem is that said political party is in bed with if not just straight up neo Nazis now. Maybe ten years ago your perspective would be reasonable but it simply isn’t anymore.

People see staying up late as a moral failing and feel that it’s their job to guilt trip anyone who sleeps in as lazy and wasting the day away.

People see morning people as industrious and morally superior and don’t criticize them for their preferred sleeping habits. At worst they get some ribbing for not being able to stay away for new years, but it’s seen as understandable and a more pious lifestyle.

So… Yeah. Morning people wingeing in the comments here can fight me, I’ll meet you at 10 o. Clock tonight outside.

Oh yeah because who wouldn’t love a party at 530 am like the morning people would like

Sounds like morning people apologist talk

Thanks!

We got the Beetlejuice sequel we have now instead of the original script they had planned.

Yep, never been to one of those either

OBJECTION!

The rules state you say things that you haven’t done that you think most people have done.

If people haven’t done these things it might be because they are living a much more interesting life, like if someone grew up on a boat and hadn’t been on land for most of their life, that’s pretty interesting and they might not have had the average experiences most people do.

You said you have done all of these average person things.

This means your life experiences are, in fact, average.

Therefore, ya basic.

Never have I ever been to a modern sporting event. Football, soccer (or other football to some of you folks), hockey, baseball, whatever.

I’ve been to things which some would argue are sports like jousting, but never a basic sport event.

Weirdly same though I’ve been through stuff that definitely should have broken some bones

It’s right there on the tin

The genocidal mimes are non negotiable

The best is almost always full size candy bars, though everyone’s personal favorites are different.

As for the worst, people might rag on the orange and black peanut butter things, candy corn, or circus peanuts. I personally like them all and I feel most of the hate is memetic.

The real bad candy? Peppermints. Even worse and strange? Peppermint candy canes.

Sure, I like them in December, but seeing those mixed in with other candy is an insult and reminds you of Christmas creep. It’s a breath mint. There might be one freakish kid who likes those hard minty disks of Christmas flavor around Halloween, but really, no one is excited about these restaurant give aways. Even hating on the candy you don’t like is part of the Halloween experience, but peppermint just feels wrong in a trick or treat bag.

What are those?

So those people being cold and not talking to you?

That’s how you came off to the people at your last job. Probably why they complained.

Then instead of focusing on the people who responded to you positively, you’re using the people who acted like you as an excuse to go back to your previous behavior.

I think that your attitude to the situation might be stemming from some misanthropy from some past trauma or something, idk. This is something you might want to talk to a therapist about or at least think over and objectively assess yourself.

What type of socialization do you want? Do you actually want to talk to people and have positive experiences at the risk of negative ones, or would you want to be left alone and not take that risk, but instead take on the risk of people disliking you?

Personally, I’d suggest just talk to the people who are nice to you and get to know them and leave be the ones who want to be left alone.

Keep a set of swimwear in your car. If you go to a place and forgot your swimsuit? Got the backup. Go to a hotel and find out they had a pool you didn’t know about? Backup in the car. Accidentally shit yourself? Got at least something on you. Do I shit myself enough to worry about it? Not since I was a baby but now I know I got swim trunks in my car just in case.
