In the US, the average life expectancy is 79.7 years old. Half of that is 39.87, and looking at demographics the median age is even lower.

So yes, 45 year olds are easily older than most people in the US at least. I think that's a fair statement.

That looks like Tofupupper to me, rather than Doge.

Oh interesting, I kinda dig that.

Why not?

On the one hand, one lifetime is not nearly long enough to do all the things I want to do.

On the other hand, I've been severely depressed before, and the biggest thing that got me through those times was knowing that I only need to get through one lifetime - which again, really isn't that long.

Overall, I don't think I would ever want to be immortal, but I would gladly take a long extension if some kind of djinn were to offer it.

And then there's Lemmy, which is an echo chamber of people jerking off in the other direction.

Honestly, the idea of adding another hobby to my Jenga tower of hobbies is a bit scary, but you aren't wrong that it would get me out more. Might be worth a shot (pun intended).

Someone else recommended StreetComplete, which I'll definitely be checking out.

Loved playing Pokémon Go, but honestly it's not as fun now that my friends don't play, sadly.

Already have one. I guess I'm including that when I say "walking around the block." Like, I do it, but it's boring and feels like a chore.

Honestly, maybe I'm just spoiled because until recently I lived next to a park with a lake that I loved taking my pupper around.

Ngl I like this idea. I highly doubt there's much around me worth noting, but I'll absolutely check it out and do what I can.

ChatGPT* as a service absolutely does collect your data, though - at least on the free tier, not sure what their policy is for paying members and such.

And OpenAI is absolutely the one sifting through all that data - in an attempt to improve their LLM. I would be surprised if they were selling that data, honestly, since they of all people know how valuable it is for them to keep it to themselves.

Most people don't even know what ChatGPT is. I'm going to say there are at least a sizeable amount of people uploading resumes without any concern for privacy.
