Lots of old people are living happy and fulfilling lives? You wouldn’t take twenty goddamn years because oh I’d be old. Well first of all you don’t fucking know that

i don’t like lifespan extending stuff because like. what if it takes effect when i’m like. 90. and have nothing left to live for

If you’re in a field where you can build a stable career then 20 extra years likely means not making average salary but Very Experienced Person salary

#24849
