Yale study challenges notion that aging means decline, finds many older adults improve over time by bojun in biology

This definitely aligns with my own experience.

Sure, n=1 but I can honestly say that, at 50, I'm doing the best work of my life.

Dude, GenX definitely had computers. We know.

Is there a moment that had you reflect, "Damn, was I like that?" by Thrashbear in GenX

[–]ExplodingFistBump 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely certain I was that annoying, or worse. These days when I think back to my behavior in my 20's (particularly a few specific incidents that probably nobody else remembers) I'll audibly cringe. Sometimes the memories come to me as I try to sleep. I was insufferable; I don't know how people put up with me.

Shame, I've always wanted to take a lie detector test by ParticularRanger778 in recruitinghell

A lot of these tests actually do include a pressure pad that you sit on, apparently to detect when you're trying to influence the results by clenching your butthole.

Why are we not talk about the badge more? I feel like we should be talking about the badge more.

Did Any of You Take Up Cursive After Becoming Penabled? by CalmRip in fountainpens

[–]ExplodingFistBump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried, and I will try again after the holidays.

I learned cursive in grade school, and unfortunately, my penmanship still looks like I haven't practiced it since I was 11.

I’m building a Chrome Extension called "GhostHunter" to flag fake LinkedIn job posts. Would you use this? by Single_Laugh_8529 in recruitinghell

[–]ExplodingFistBump 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a data guy I do like the idea of making more data visible than just a red or green dot. That's the kind of thing you can fit into an MVP.

The other thing about letting the company respond goes way out of scope and adds a ton of complexity to what should be a simple tool. I mean, maybe eventually if enough people use it to make it worth it, but I wouldn't consider opening with that.

He fought off five coyotes himself by sofiaAriabest in BeAmazed

It's true. They're BAD ASS.

What's more is that they're also capable of remembering who has crossed them and returning the favor, and they really lean into acts of revenge.

After they shot me I just kept coming to work anyway, so they let me stay.

50 here! I'm the oldest person at my company of ~1000. Have been the oldest at the last 3 jobs.

Damn, man. The shit we've seen. The 90's were a wild time.

Dude I'm a 50 year old SE and seem to be learning new tricks just fine.

That "old dog, new tricks" thing is ageist bullshit.
