An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.
From the 1500s onward, till around the year 1800, life expectancy throughout Europe hovered between 30 and 40 years of age. Since the early 1800s, Finch writes that life expectancy at birth has doubled in a period of only 10 or so generations.
After reading this thread, I kinda agree with the other posters. I think the average lifespan is supposed to be around 40 or so. Your health and body really starts to deotriate rapdily around that age. Also, once you get your late 20s or so, you can tell that your health/immune system/etc isn't as good as it used to be. Living to 50/60/70 really doesen't sound fun at all. I'd rather CTB than reach old age.

For most of human history, people didn't live past 40. Sometimes I think, humans weren't designed to live past 40 because if we were designed to live past 40, our bodies wouldn't just deteriorate so rapidly.
Plus, older you get, you watch other people die in your life, that's why you feel all alone. When I see kids in my neighborhood, I get jealous they are young and carefree. They don't know everyone dies, lol

I read somewhere (scientific proof, right?) that once you made it past your early 20s, your odds of longevity jumped dramatically. Given the ridiculous infant mortality rates, many adults lasted into their 60s or 70s. If you trust the Bible, some people made it to 900. I don't trust the Bible for shit, but there you go.
There were still lots of unpleasant ways to get run over by the bus (vicious predators, mild infections, the common cold), but 40 was surprisingly young for people who made it to adulthood. It's just that nobody made it to adulthood. And even if you did, it would suck to get old surrounded by all those 18-year-olds who didn't want to fuck you.
Why? I have experienced loosing many people, and animals as well. It's hard for me to want to meet more people cuz they will die or I will die, lol, I don't think it's normal for people to feel this way, but I'm too much of an empath

I'm currently watching a family member go through the process of deteriorating, and it is awful. I certainly don't want to reach the point that they have, although it is due to other factors such as lifestyle habits, it is absolutely horrifying to see this going on.

I study health and social care, the first thing they taught us was 'human lifespan development'. You reach your peak at the age of 25 and from the age of 28 you begin to slowly decline. By the time you're about 45 (sometimes beforehand) you're noticeably ageing. There's also the menopause which to me is a pretty huge indicator that your body isn't supposed to be functioning that long. It's essentially just a few years of suffering with mood swings and other symptoms and I'd rather completely avoid that. Not to mention developing diseases like dementia and arthritis, which can happen from the age of 50 if you're unlucky. I can't imagine anything worse than dementia. Years of suffering and forgetting myself and everyone around me, and the suffering that would cause for my family when I forget them until I'm shoved into a care home till I die. Certainly not how anyone should live.
