What do you want your future self to remember about you 20 years from now?
I'd probably want to remember how I managed to pay all my debt off this year.
How about you guys?
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

Yeah, I don't want to think to much about aging. At this point I have more arthritis than wrinkles. I think I'd rather go back in time, and warn my younger self than preserve memories for my future self. I guess I want my future self to be grateful for this little cat, the convertible I'm driving and the house I'm living in right now. I want my future self to remember good memories of my parents, because my father is 83, and my mother is 79.

In twenty years I'll be dead. On the surface, it looks as if I've had it all. Money, adventure, success, career accomplishment. But given the choice, I don't think I would live my life over again. There's always been quiet desparation, anguish, and constant loneliness. It's been unshakable since I was preschooler.

Partly all that, but I live in the UK, and we have additional problems that you Americans don't have to worry about. Strangely enough, the issues here are due to politicians who have many similarities to The Great Orange Dotard and are very nearly as stupid, venal and short-sighted as him, and voters who have a mindset very similar to that of Trumpers.
As far as COVID is concerned, it's interesting how, just as Trump claims the USA is doing great in spite of the statistics proving otherwise, the British Prime Minister says that his government has dealt with the challenge splendidly, yet the statistics tell a very different story. The facts are that the UK has the highest raw number of COVID deaths in Europe, the highest case-fatality rate of any developed country and a per capita death rate that's second only to Belgium amongst European countries (and Belgium uses much more inclusive rules for counting virus fatalities while the UK hasn't been including many deaths due to the virus in the official figures, so the UK is likely at the top of that list too). The UK government blathers on about the measures they're taking to solve the problem with track-and-trace, but various fuck-ups along the line mean fuck-all is actually happening on that, and a sizeable part of the population are such ignorant, selfish clots that they refuse to modify their behaviour.
Populist politicians suck; the voters who are stupid enough to fall for their BS and simplistic solutions suck almost as hard.
