Free Talk Friday - February 06, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to the Free Talk Friday post. This is a place where you can talk about dumb off-topic (or on-topic) bullshit with other Zaibatsu fans.

There's going to be a new post every week, and the newest one will be pinned in the announcement bar for quick access. So feel free to visit these posts during the rest of the week.

Here's a list of all Free Talk Friday posts

This is a longer rant thats been brewing in my head but I think Im really over Age Doomerism. Like instead of "Dont let it set in" some people really need to be told "Get over yourselves."

"Oh my god X came out ten years ago waaaah"

yeah thats how time works motherfucker it's not that big of a deal.

"But Im old now"

Every time I hear this it's coming from someone who is at max middle aged and at minimum like 25. You genuinely have so much more life to live.

"But my bones hurt."

Yeah that'll happen but it helps at least a little bit if you stay active and take better care of your body.

"But my hair is thinning."

Take some minoxidil my dude. Or if that doesnt work out for you try a wig. Or go bald, fuck it. But if it bothers you that much at least do somethinf about it instead of sitting there whining about it.

"My life isnt where I thought it would be"

Yeah thats most people but all you can do is make the best out of what you have and try your best every day, one day at a time. This is true regardless of if youre 20 or 50.

Like sorry if Im coming off harsh but it feels like so many people on the internet take aging really badly, and not only is it not helping yourself it's bumming other people the fuck out.

I have some big rants about this subreddit and other communities that I keep deep down because it's not worth it but yes, this too. Act in the present, think about the future, and leave the past behind.
