How Old Are You People?

[ThunderFace]

Curious of the general age of the folk that post here.

Why?

It's quiet reasonable to ask such a question .... Many casual visitors here would think this place is populated by school kids , or the mentally retarded ...

 

Conspiracy is  the only subject where people can know nothing , post any sort of nonsense and get away with it ...This could never occur on a woodworking forum , or electronics forum ...

 

Here's an example of what I mean , a recent post made in a thread about "is reality a 'matrix" 

 

It is a demonstrated reality and it is also a colossal artificial creation. Humans have not even begun to grasp what is artificial and what is natural. It uses an extremely sophisticated method to make it seem real to Humans. It does not see Humans as a civilisation. No one will be confronted with anything impossible that is not already reflected as a real aspect in the brain. Here and there there will be humans who have deciphered certain questions. And they have different questions to ask than present ideas. There is no reason for it to demonstrate more complex patterns as Humans have not answered the first questions.

 

Totally incomprehensible!

I never said it wasn't 

The op is wondering what the age of forum members is and I'm wondering why they want to know.

I'm 45 thousand years old.

How about you?

I will guess....... 64?

While we are at it, can I ask who's female, single and knows a cure for male masturbation?

Nah. I get the impression this place is populated largely by older people - who have a little bit of a broader perspective yet have a very large pretentious holier than thou attitude looking down on the "masses" with disdain - two strong characteristics of the very same group of people they think are the issue.

 

Your post kinda speaks to this. Taking any given opportunity to inflate your own egos.

 

As with most places - there's is also some good energy here. Not stating any of this as a slight on anyone or the forum - just offering clarification to a wrong assumption.

I said i asked out of curiousity. Instead of answering, you ask your own question, with the same reasoning. Should i now ask why you want to know? ( i dont really want to know, im making the point its generally shit practice to answer a question with a question)

 

You'd think i asked for personal phone numbers based on the replies, the fuck type of shit is this lol

 

Noted.

If you must know, I'm 45 years old.

 

I don't consider myself some 'old person'. And I'm neither a 'kid' either.

 

No offence, but this kind of question does remind me of these silly posts I keep seeing from my Facebook friends, which asks "what is your birth stone" or "what type of saucepan are you", and you have to reveal your birth month, star sign, first initial of last name, etc etc.

 

Slow subtle ways of harvesting data about you, in order to make otherwise seemingly innocuous details personally identifiable. Once combined together.

I suspect the age is around what people call middle to the older ranges. 

 

Most people have gone through the usual systems of programming in society and it usually takes life events for someone to start questioning that programming which generally comes with age.

I’m old enough to:

not fight with packaging.  It’s not worth the time in your life.  Just cut it or break it.  
 

not put liquid dish soap in the dishwasher.

I must say that if you were to throw out an odd and off the cuff question like how old etc, then I might just flat out tell you Oz!  But that is because or your presence here.  I, and I might say 'we' are dubious towards newbys and others without explanation.

I don't know what that's got to with age, unless you are wondering if elderly men still do it lol. I doubt there's a "cure" for it- they tried that in the 19th century. 

 

I expect there's a lot of young men's hands moving under the duvet right now during this pandemic (not being able to have girl friends/boyfriends over to stay).

In the early internet, fuckbook was asking 'asl?' in a chat room. age-sex-location. It was really easy to mate and date then ditch a bitch when you found she was a bunny boiler. Now I only date four eared two toungued extra-terrestrial intercosmic porn stars.

I am 36 years old. My "awakening" to the reality of my programming happen during my twenties. The turning point was 10 or 12 years ago.

I'm so old my childhood was lived  in black and white.

I lack manly strength and stamina.  
 

Another token of wisdom:  only try to reseal a resealable package once.  If it doesn’t seal the first time, it clearly doesn’t work.

Some packaging just defies all common sense. There's too much of it and clearly there's not a lot of thought going into it

just further adds to my point.

 

a question of age - is equivalent to "what saucepan are you" to you isit? that says less about me & more about you.

 

refer to the commenst in the thread if you want "silly".

 

i see no more wisdom/intelligence here than a facebook group - just a aire that you are all above them - with fuck all to back it up.

 

enjoy.

Does that mean I was correct?

 

You miss a vital part of THIS site.  In that it's bigger than you imagine.  It's older than you think.  Many of the folk here have come a long way.

 

My response was a correct one concerning this site history.

 

Circle jerk is a new one to me.

 

You could explain it to me like used to happen or are you just going to leave the site and on to another where you might insult and ask dippy questions without explanation only to be questioned as to why for you to then get butt-hurt?

That's easy, get a female to do it for you ,then it goes by another name, if you need a cure for anything else just let me know

Few things.

 

You dont know what i imagine or think. You overestimate yourself - probably from a sense of lack.

 

You assume im new.

 

If my post count determines the quality of the responses you people give - you might want to re-evaluate your values.

 

The rest is you projecting a whole lot. Touched a nerve, clearly.

 

Tip - Dont insult someone in the same sentence as trying to make the point of them being insulting. & Try not to seem so hurt yourself when claiming someone else is.

 

Care to explain this vital part of this site that im missing? & how much bigger it is than i imagine? Or are you just going to spout more vague pretentious shit with no substance to make yourself feel grand?
