Is anyone else here over 40? I find that wisdom comes a lot easier. I can read everything and often times I'm smarter than the author. I go, oh really now. I could critique them in a lesson.

I submit my poetry to magazines and I can get accepted if I so choose, but I'm the one turning them down. I have written several important novels in my imagination, but I choose not to spend the time writing them out because I no longer require the fame or validation of youth, and there is no rush in doing so. I prefer walking with my horses, of which there are plenty.

Yeah, I'm 43, and I can tell you're a fag.

I'm 27 and I think I've destroyed my brain irrecoverably. I can't remember anything I read yesterday even though I did close reading. I think I'll have dementia in five years. Thanks for reading my blog

Why would anyone young post on 4chan, don't you have discord, reddit and twitter?

image boards are sadly dying, a living relic of a time long-gone
Old people have an excuse, this is what we are used to. Why would a young lad bother to be in this cesspit?
/jp/ is famously known as the retirement home of old /b/, that's why we mainly discuss visual novels from the fucking 2000's. The main content of /lit/ and /tv/ are old books and movies too. If you want to discuss current content, there are vastly more superior sites. 4chan is for screeching about decades old media, and we are perfectly fine with that

I'm 43 and just read all eight Dungeon Crawler Carl books.

Don't forget you're here forever. Honestly, it depends on how you're here. If you can see 4chan as a place to shit post and occasionally learn something, it's perfectly healthy. I mean if you started here as an underageB& in the mid 2000s now you're mid 30s at least. But if you see this place as your main social interaction or that 4chan has some kind of more accurate or deeper understanding of the world, you're fucked. Touch grass, as the children say.

at 40 one reaches the wisdom of an idealized 20yo as imagined by one's 12yo self on what being a grown up feels like
