People are aging more slowly than in the past, we have better information on how to take care of ourselves. But there is wide variation when you get older. I will say though, that I still feel really good in my mid 50s, nothing hurts, I am still strong and healthy and think that would have been less usual even just 20 years ago.

Sunglasses skyrocketed in price while shavers are cheaper than ever before. That's why inflation is a bullshit concept. Price rises in some areas and goes down in others independently

That's why the basket of goods for inflation changes.

It's very hard, but useful, metric.

I got my sunglasses from amazon for like a hours wage. Polarised, 100% UV protection (I even got them independently checked), they lasted like 4 years so far.

People are stupid when they buy glasses.

My appearance hasn't changed much since I was in highschool.
