I’m not entirely sure I read your comment correctly, but it sounds like you’ve never heard the word “whinging” before.

For the avoidance of doubt, it’s a real word. It rhymes with “hinging”.

Seconded. As soon as you hit 40, every other visit to the doctor involves talking about something going wrong below the waist.

From the outside looking in, I have to say that the pace of things this time around is pretty alarming.

I pop this on the telly for my kids when they have nightmares. It’s interesting enough to distract them, yet gentle enough to lull them to sleep again.

It seems pretty fundamental, but fighting games have had pretty much the same basic UI layout since Street Fighter II. Before then there was a degree of variability as to how the different elements were laid out. Since SFII, it’s always been Timer in the middle and Health bars on either side of that.

People are still people, and money is just there to facilitate transactions required for the stuff you need.

Part of the problem is that a bunch of not-rights have decided that instead the point of money is to accrue it like some kind of high score.

If you are so rich that you no longer experience the normal problems associated with being a person, such as bad hair days, then you’ve probably become a weirdo yourself.

Ok,

I’d have paid off my student loans and mortgage already, as that’s the first thing I’d do as soon as I received the money.

I guess a typical Friday would involve me waking up at noon, pottering about in my pyjamas for a few hours, then working on whatever project I have on the go. I’m one of those people who has an obsession-of-the-month, and I can’t imagine that would change.

I’d have more time to spend with my kids and partner than I do, which I imagine would be nice.

On the whole, I don’t think it’d be wildly different to how I live now - only that without the pressure that I have to work so many hours a day, I’d have more time to spend with my family.

Children’s clothing too.

Something that nobody seems to have touched upon is the fact that many dead people are embalmed.

If you suddenly came alive again after being embalmed, you’d suddenly become dead again.

Also, post-mortem examinations are not uncommon if the cause of death was not clear. Again this might lead to instant re-death.

Finally, if the cause of death /was/ clear (such as trauma), then again, that may likely result in instant re-death.
