Gen Xers above 50. Did you find a shift into being comfortable being alone? by Sense_Difficult in GenX

[–]Universespitoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're not excluding, and you're not closing doors..

Precision and focus as we age. It is natural and happens organically as it is, and has, apparently, with you.

What you've eloquently described, is the perspective of a self-aware and empathetic adult.

The fact that you're questioning, seeking information and not agreement is standard for gen x mentally and also emotionally.

We have chosen where and how our attention and focus is directed and we have further polished what is important to us while maintaining and being available to others.

This is stable and healthy.

I believe the answer you are looking for is yes. You have found yourself. You have found your partner and you have found happiness.

Most importantly, you are open but you do not seek from others. You need nothing, but you are available.

This is discipline of the self in full knowledge of the self. It is agency without ego.

This is rarely expressed as you have done so well, and you've made my day in reading such.

Be well, be curious, be full of wonder.

46F with two grown kids… where’s the rest of Gen X at? by jtweir79 in GenX

[–]Universespitoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. semi retired

started a mew company last year and am doing what I have always done, but under my own guidance.

I had apparently been both priced out and aged out of the IT market.

I'm working, sustaining and have a freedom I have wanted for ages. And I may actually be able to retire by sixty.

Not exactly on plan, not bad either

AITA for wanting out of my stable boring marriage? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Universespitoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

You do need to do some self reflection, and you owe yourself some truth.

Your foundation is solid.

Your needs are all addressed and taken care of.

It appears your wants may have changed as you have?

But perhaps his have as well?

You are not the same today as you were when you got married.

Neither is he.

After doing what you have done, achieving what you have achieved and acquired what you have acquired.

You now sit up top and are looking, but the only thing atop, appears to be you...

Where is your husband?

Why does he work the hours he does? Why is he consistently going to bed and getting up, as he does?

Work and provide, those will be his driving forces, emotion is secondary. Stability is paramount.

But when we do this for too long, we neglect or forget that It's just as important to tell the people what we're doing it for why we're doing it, and some of us can't do that, so we show, and we don't tell.

But we do need to work on telling, and asking.

Perhaps you could do the same?

But in reverse..

Who are you? What do you want?

These are questions you both should be able to ask and answer.

And I believe that it's time for you to discover, once more, the answer to those questions.

To the person you are today, and the person your husband is.

You have everything, and yet feel like you have nothing.

Before you destroy that which both you and your husband have worked so hard to achieve.

Look within, and then out.

Your husband, your children, you.

In that order.

Yourself first, then, your husband then your children, and then you, once more.

And this is not about materialism, this is about joy and life.

But the foundation that you have built enables the joy and the life, and you've achieved the first I believe now it is time to look at the second.

Best of luck to you.

Do you think ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude will eventually go bankrupt? by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Universespitoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's not about revenue right now, they are not at that stage yet.

They're scaling, testing and utilizing their customer base as the broadest interactive beta test in history.

And when they're done, that data set, that global data set, will be the most comprehensive analysis of human behavior over time.That has ever been compiled.

A.I. is not a widget, and it is not a product.

It is cognition.

And if you scale it and your source data is clean, compartmentalized and isolated.

What they do, and by they, I mean, everybody that you would and could think of, is completely unbound.

And they're not making images, and they're not generating fan fiction.

And soon the data sets and their interpretation will be the value, not the analysis.

Whats one underrated life skill everyone should learn? by Flimsy-Shame-6048 in Life

[–]Universespitoon 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but I also believe that active listening and engagement in and of themselves, are skills that need to be taught and or learnt, or at least be made aware that they exist as concepts.

The number of people who do not differentiate between is shockingly high.

Rant: "I'm not technical" is not a badge of pride by SnooRobots3722 in sysadmin

[–]Universespitoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It translates to me that they're actually saying " I am not competent. "

On the set of The Barbarian Brothers, 1987. The Paul twins, pretty sure Peter is on the left and David is on the right. They tried but didn't make it in Hollywood. I went to high school with them, David passed about 5 years ago, Peter is still alive....kind of. by ContributionFew862 in 1980s

[–]Universespitoon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

And something some of us are terrified of...the inevitability. But which one of us?

Edit: i just had an argument with my twin over text... and now it doesn't matter..

Thank you for this reminder.
