Never tried heroin.

If, by some unfortunate circumstances, I survive to 70, I am doing ALL the heroin!

Why continue to play it safe? So I can eat watered down jello, observe my faculties and senses diminish day by day, and piss my pants for another 10-20 years until I expire like spoiled produce with Matlock playing in the background?

Too many people living and working for a possible retirement that may or may not come are going to be disappointed that all they slaved and sacrificed for was to be a worn out husk sitting in a chair too far into decomposition to start living 65 years in.

My work has taken me to countless retirement communities at every socio-economic level, from wards of the state who signed away their social security, to the wealthy family members that the 1% throws away to die. The only differences are in the food and the common area decor, and some cheap tapestries don't change the reality. There are a lot of courteous smiles, but absolutely zero happiness to be found in any of them in my experience.

I call working with the intent to make it to that literal shitshow planning for failure.

You are not accounting for your changing appetite and priorities though. Willing to bet heroine sounds much less appealing then than now. Maybe stop holding back so much and just do a little heroin now?

Also, check out the 99PI podcast on the Model Village - it might give you some hope for better options, but I'm not too excited as our species and especially my country are pretty good bout fucking these kinda things up.

Do a little heroin now, as a treat!

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

70? People these days are still in good shape at 70, I don't know what age you are but by the time you reach 70 you'll probably be today's 60 years old! I don't think we've got that many users on here that are over 60!

[-] Duranie@midwest.social 13 points 1 year ago

I work in hospice and have seen patients (and family members) 90+ who I could have mistaken for late 60s - early 70s. I also recently met a patient's wife who was 20 years younger than him, but was in worse shape and looked his age (82) if not older. Genetics and life experience are wild.

I believe that everyone should smoke, drink, and enjoy the occasional hard drug- just start when you're 75 or 80. Fucking party on the way out.

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

What it gonna do, kill you?

[-] herr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Spoken like a true 20 year old who has no concept of what health at 75 looks like. The alcohol hangovers will last multiple days, you might have a lung condition that prevents you from smoking, your circulation will massively shit the bed off stimulants (think racing heart, cold sweats, feeling weak, anxiety) and opioids... well, opioids might be mostly okay except for the constipation I guess. Withdrawals might incapacitate you for months though.

I could have gone my whole life without seeing a Kermit Goatsee

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

I guess. If you can even call that a life

[-] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Are you really even alive if you've never smashed that kermussy?

My God this post is vile 🤣

Grandma deserves a healthy and natural double fisting too

This took a turn sharper than grans lower intestine

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

Seriously.

I have to go into nursing homes all the time. The ladies at them are the thirstiest women I've ever met.

....but ya know, a hole is a hole 🤷

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago

I ain't into old ladies but a Werther's original is a Werther's original.

[-] Copythis@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

That's where they get practice 😉

And don't get me started on when they remove the dentures!

Just curious here, but why did you guys see the title "Senior Citizen Sex" and still decide to click the link?

On second though, I don't want to know.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Because a lot of people find older folks having sex really icky. And it's such a deeply ingrained and weird take.

So I'm here to dispute it.

They are all members of the Lemon Party.

I think you might have some issues, op.

[-] Endorkend@kbin.social 36 points 1 year ago

Not really.

Look up some STD transmission stats for retirement communities. It's a real issue.

[-] starbreaker@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

The real issue is the absolutely pathetic state of sex ed in the US. A lot of these people probably grew up thinking that "safe sex" meant doing it when she isn't ovulating and somehow never learned any better despite living through the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.

[-] Mocheeze@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Come on. People of nursing age have had a literal lifetime of new sex science. There really is no excuse except for an unwillingness to learn.

[-] Endorkend@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

There's also that people that age don't give a fuck anymore, they just fuck.

[-] IHeartBadCode@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Man, what’s heart breaking is congenital syphilis. A disease that’s passed to an infant at birth. In 2012, it was almost gone from the US.

In 2021 it has surged by 201% nationally and quadruple digit percentage in some States.

And given the antibiotic resistance that’s quickly building up, we may never be able to get rid of it now without some new advancement.

And the vast majority of the surge has been due to people either not being able to have a prenatal screening or not wanting it.

It is one of the most depressing defeats. Especially considering the damage the disease does to the child brain and heart. It’s just an unspeakable L humanity has had to take on this.

[-] starbreaker@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

I agree with you, but I don't think you can blame congenital syphilis on nursing home residents unless it's male residents banging female nurses young enough to be fertile.

OP's not wrong, though. Inmates of boomer gulags are old, not dead. They're gonna fuck unless you keep 'em in solitary confinement 24/7.

[-] A_Toasty_Strudel@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

And MAN do they be fuckin'.

[-] starbreaker@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Nothing wrong with that. A lot of them have spent their entire adult lives working for the man. 40+ hours a week on the job from 18-65 isn't a life; it's a fucking life sentence.

[-] balderdash9@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago

At least my fair share lol

My granddad once said to me, "It's really humid today"

To which I replied "Aye tell me something I don't know!"

He said, "Err......ok. I can fit my whole fist up your gran's arse"

My better half works in a nursing home. The one she works in now is more "independent", she used to work in a nursing home that also had a "memory care" (Alzheimer's/dementia) wing.

She explains that the sex is rampant. Her favorite story was about a couple who would sneak into a supply closet to do the sweaty, wrinkly deed. But they weren't as sneaky as they thought, because they would park their walkers outside the closet.

What happens sometimes, is you have these elderly people, who have lost someone they have been married to for decades. And they're lonely, but they are surrounded by other people around their age who have also lost someone who was in their lives for decades.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 17 points 1 year ago

Plus they don't have anything else to do.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

In a few years, they'll all be playing counter strike instead of jumping each other.

[-] banneryear1868@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Used to deliver medication to an air force vet at a nice retirement residence, would knock on the door and hear a woman go "teehee just a minute" and there'd be like two ladies on the couch in his living room space. Guy was living the dream lol

[-] recapitated@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Downloaded and scheduled text to my child for 35 years from now.

It's actually mostly hand stuff.
