To sum up everything in this thread: Life becomes less appealing as you get older. You lose friends because "career" and "kids" and "my wife would not agree to this". The novelty and wonderment of being a child is LONG GONE, ie. your brain oxytocin, serotonin and β-endorphin receptors are all but ERADICATED from the grudges of the mundanity of your boring 9 to 5 suburban lifestyle. No time for friends and riding bikes and adventures in the forest and first-kisses under the tree and kickball, those TPS reports need to be finished as soon as possible. You are a walking zombie; living in a biological sense, but not really living. Do not fret because your life is nearing it's end surely but slowly; cell stress, telometre shortening and calcium disposition within collagen has you taking an aged "old-person" appearance as you are scientifically dying from the inside-out as the seconds on the clock tick and tock and by the way is Docker or Vagrant better for deploying a NodeJS + MongoDB app?
- sgt101 10y agoYeah, but do you have anything negative to say?
- untog 10y agoBeg to differ. Priorities change. "Kids" are an absolute life highlight, and come above pretty much everything else.
- hyperbovine 10y agoFor you.
- eterpstra 10y agoVagrant is for development, not production, silly goose!
- eranation 10y agoCompletely on the contrary. As someone with a wife and kids, suburban home, a tech job and similar decisions to make (react or anguar2). Never in my life I had so many opportunities to do fun things but I simply changed my preferences. I still like riding bikes and hiking and hanging out with friends (both couples with kids and just guys night out) however, I much more enjoy alone and quiet time than before. Reading, taking a Coursera course, hooking into my htc vive, finally learning the guitar solo from the wall part 2, learning to read music notes and play the piano. I feel much happier now than in my childhood. I have more friends than I have time for. And much less urge for company. I feel perfectly fine with just my family singing me "Happy birthday".
- akvadrako 10y agoSounds like you would benefit from an Ayahuasca retreat or weekend on LSD. It gives you a new perspective on your life and also helps most people who are open to the possibility realise there is a lot more to discover. If you are under 1000 years old, I'm sure you've only scratched the surface.
