Random thoughts thread

So I might not get the FRS next year... I'm sitting on the idea of waiting until after I graduate. I'll have 50k saved up, I know it's not a lot but I'll have the option at looking at a bigger selection of cars, but it will mainly depend on whether I land a job in my field, how much I make per week after taxes and how serious the so and I are..
And If things didn't work out I can always pick up a cheaper 2015 model
I will still hang out on the forum, I will definitely own this car someday whether I change my mind and it really is next year afterall lol- or if It's the year 2025 and I pick one up for cheap to be my track car, or daily.
I can see it being a challenge finding one in its original state. She will definitely hold her value well if you keep her unmodified to the extreme.
I have so many options and now that I've mastered the art of patient/preoccupied with school I feel no need to hurry. Even if my current car crash out on me and dies it'll give me the chance to get a Mt miata, which would be exciting in my eyes because I wouldn't feel pressured that I'd cause harm to it.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but... actually... $50,000 is actually enough to afford an FR-S. You could even get some of those light bulbs all the kids are raving about.

Yeah, that's stupid. People like that are just anchors to society. This is why we can't have nice things.

[IntotheOcean]

Eh I don't think it's a lot - mainly because of the amount of years I've saved. It doesn't help college will cost me somewhere around 30,000

And I love how I'm not able to edit my comment on my phone to fixed my careless grammar O well

Stock market is pretty hot right now, a big dip might come and then you can throw money in and make a good chunk of cash, and then buy the FRS

I think everyone admits it's pretty much gambling, but when the market crashes you can get some pretty good deals Think of it as a big sale where you can return stuff for full price.

Gta 5 should teach you everything you could want to know about stocks, and life in general.

Oh. Well $50k budgeted just for purchasing an FR-S is ridiculously enough. If you're trying to get other things with that money... yeah, not so much.



Back on topic, I randomly had these thoughts as I was eating lunch alone a little while ago...

[Background info: I've seen a few things about Aubrey de Gray and his quest to make humans live much much longer, so it's something I think about pretty often]

·So… there are many other organisms out there that live a lot longer than humans and/or their bodies don’t begin to age until relatively later in their life cycle, compared to humans.

·Humans pass down what little evolutionary adaptations they’ve accomplished in their life through DNA in the gametes they produce.

·So… if a man reproduces at the age of 15, he is only giving 15 years worth of new biological information to his offspring, none of which is telling the next generation there is certainly anything going on after 15, other than all the data from all prior generations.

·So... if we want to live longer as a species… we should not make babies until we’re almost old enough not to!





Then I finished my noodles and left the cafeteria.

[Muskokan]

Damn it, just spent 20 minutes on a nice well thought out reply before my iphone deleted it. here's the highlights;

People having sex younger over the past couple decades, but life expectancy hasn't gone down with all the premature accidental pregnancies, but cancer rates continue to raise... Coincidence!?

Also had a thought on elephant reproductive habits and research into their aging.

Oh and also had a good joke about how when I was 13 I played game boy not tummy sticks, I'm 20. Lol

But really it is alarming how early kids want to have sex now, seems like it's more normal to lose your virginity at your gr.8 prom rather than high school prom now.

I don't think it is a coincidence. I think the increase in cancer is from the increase in all the shit we're exposed to. Technology is increasing much faster than we can mature as a species (no thanks to currency-based systems (Venus Project or GTFO!!)) and we're simply failing as a species, just like the other 99.whatever% of all other species that have ever existed - bitches be extinct!

And all this stuff I just said isn't science at all, just me thinking about shit while I tear up some cafeteria noodles. Evolution is a really slow process and takes a lot of similar input from individual organisms of a species for the new data to not get weeded out and lost by the millions of other individuals contributing to the gene pool. So the last few decades really don't make a difference.

Another point this brings up with me is that I don't think people are really having sex any younger now than they ever have. Other cultures are still marrying (and consequently... fucking) at single digit ages in current times. I think the whole attitude of "younger and younger these days" these days is from the fact that all peoples' behavior is more out in the open compared to say 1940. Media and technology. Basically, I think it was happening before, but now we're just aware of it.

Hahaha tummy sticks? That is a new one to me.

I can distinctly remember being 4 years old and wanting to see every woman's boobies. Maybe I've always been a perverted old man, even as a toddler, but it's not alarming to me at all.

I can relate to this. I didn't lose mine till I was in my thirties.






I'm 28 now.

I have to pee bad enough right now for like 3 people to have to pee pretty bad. Contemplating whether to do something about it or just keep playing imaginary black metal double bass like I have been.
