it gets better. kids now upper single/lower double digits, and I can reuse stuff for dayzz where it was previously multiple changes per day

bonus trauma memory: just about to go to work, no wait I need a new shirt, tie and jacket

now I’m late ¯\(ツ)/¯

nah anatomical L/R socks are god tier, they are my sensory delight and demand

podcasts ftw for any house chores

I love music, and spend hours listening to tunes with my ridiculously expensive IEMs while working but for some reason it doesn’t cut the mustard with house admin

can you read I’m not American and have no dog in this fight apart from not wanting the USA to fuck the world worse than currently, but they literally mentioned genocide/Israel being their biggest crime

I was just there and learned the same thing! 2023 is wild, but better than the alternative I guess

Just chiming in to reinforce Carmelians point that the sarcopoenia in particular is a highly likely aetiological predisposing factor for OP’s described experience (as noted, for a male >50yoa it’s pretty much a given), and strength/resistance training is the only realistic compensating strategy. You’re correct that they don’t achieve the same, and that both are required, and that something is better than nothing. But its also true that the strength component seems to be more overlooked in the popular approaches to the vicissitudes of aging, so bears particular emphasis
