Wtf is wrong with all your bodies if they’re that shit during your 30’s lol
I had a thread on here where multiple people were telling me I should expect to be in a little pain all the time in my 30’s. I asked older people IRL about that, and the answer was lol no.

I’m 40 and i think i’m stronger and fitter than when i was 30. The downside is when i get hurt. I used to fall off my skateboard countless times and just got up and kept going. Two weeks ago i fell down some stairs on my ass/back and it still hurts.
Years of manual labour jobs for me, personally.

Right? It’s like they either been living in cramped farm factories staring at a screen or been working in a soviet gulag since age 8 from what you read online
I’m going to guess mostly the former, with a sprinkling of the latter, since the battery cage people are definitely online a lot.
Children. Once there’s children you have 0 hours to look after yourself. It requires a Herculean effort for both your partner and you to carve out 30 minutes per person per two days
