Is it just me, or do people seem less vibrant today? (feddit.org)

Remembering my aunts and uncles from my childhood, a lot of the older people today don't seem to have as much energy -- I come from the US.

I've noticed people can be erratic and easily agitated now. Almost everyone I know in their 40s and 50s is angry all the time. Heavy drinking. Not able to process new information very well.

My uncle had a kid at 50 and played with her non-stop. I don't know anyone capable of that now.

Am I the only one seeing this?

during gesturing avoiding other people and cyclists because the sidewalk is to narrow for anything

    They also didn't mention bike lanes, so it's probably safe to assume they either (a) don't exist where they live or (b) there are bike lanes but the cyclists are assholes who refuse to use them

    Do the bike lanes you mention happen to be little painted bikes on the other side of the white line next to the road with no actual protection from the giant trucks inches away? Cause those aren't bike lanes, and cyclists not riding there doesn't make them assholes.
