This is to get opinions,

There seems to be underlying social normality of striving to live longer and longer. Is this a paradigm worth discussing. Does our western society have an obsession with life span, and is it rational.

Thoughtful responses please.

I feel like that I have seen enough content from Nas Daily to say something on this topic. Especially since the main guy ALWAYS preaches about living forever.

I think it’s one thing to say that you want to live healthy and as long as you can, especially when you wanna be there for your family and their achievements and whatnot. All that’s great and all, but at the same time why are we also told about the inevitable truth of how nothing lasts forever?

In other words, if someone wants to live long and healthy then more power to them I guess. But what about you (and I’m asking myself this)?? Do YOU want to live forever? Especially with all of the pains and unfairness that you go through of growing and living? Essentially when that means that you’re basically doing (what will feel like) the same thing almost every day but longer until you get too old to do the things that you wish you could do when you’re still young and functional? That doesn’t sound like something that’s worth living long in my opinion.

Now I’m not trying to judge here, I’m more so asking a question. Because while sure I don’t mind living long enough to pass at a respectable old age, I think that it’s better to live a good life other than a long one. Especially when that means that a lot of people who you care about will pass before you do, while this will be different for everyone… I don’t think not everyone is going to handle it.

It's all about honesty man. You should ask your wife how she feels about you rping with other people since she's not as into it. That sounds reasonable to me, but it can only be decided by both of you together as a couple!

Nah, the last song I was listening to is way too violent 😅😅😅.

This question is for those who went from rail thin to super fat. how did you keep up eating consistently? I find it very stressful trying to make sure I eat enough to reach my daily calorie goal, does it eventually become second nature to eat loads without having to put much thought into it?

These are my two cents as a woman of color.

Society does not want me to exist. I am at an elevated risk of mortality in all categories simply because of bigotry. I have lost so many friends and family members to bigoted systems - sometimes at a young age.

People like me want to live despite society wanting us to die. We fight for life, both tooth and nail because we deserve it. We refuse to let other's hatred of us determine if we get to live a long life or not.

Bigwideland:
Yes I assumed that you are in aspect of society that is supported to live longer, forgive my white male privilege that is my paradigm to understand and be mindful of when posting.

I agree that drinking heavy cream straight can be hard because of the taste. I generally mix one third heavy cream with two thirds half and half. I use a tad of HC in my oatmeal, dry cereal, omelettes, and soups. It is a regular part of my daily weight gain diet but I know I am still not using enough daily because my gains are slow. I probably should be consuming at least a pint of HC throughout the day.

Heavy cream at Starbucks! It’s like the stars are aligning and the universe has some fat designs set for me. Thanks for the tip,

Bobo:
Heavy cream changed my life when my feeder and I discovered I wasn't lactose intolerant. I started drinking coffee with a cup of heavy cream, making it 460 calories. Do that 2-3 times a day and you will feel your pants get tight and your face chubbier!

Munchies:
You could do it that way. However, a lot of people do not like the taste of heavy cream. So I suggest adding it to something else like a drink or food.

Bobo:
You mean like...coffee?
