Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.

Notjustbikes is also wonderful.
I sort of wonder if the next generation will still romanticize Japan in quite the same way. We’re past the peak trendy-products era of Weird Sony and the Toyota MR2, anime is no longer a secret exotic thing, and it feels like if you want “15 years ahead of us optimistic techno future”, you could easily slide in Chongqing or Seoul instead of Tokyo.
As far as I can tell, gen z’s more into Korea, Japan already seems passé (being in a midlife crisis meme doesn’t help)
Nani the fuck did you just fucking iimasu about watashi, you chiisai bitch desuka? Watashi’ll have anata know that watashi graduated top of my class in Nihongo 3, and watashi’ve been involved in iroirona Nihongo tutoring sessions, and watashi have over sanbyaku perfect test scores. Watashi am trained in kanji, and watashi is the top letter writer in all of southern California. Anata are nothing to watashi but just another weaboo. Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.
Is this the guerrilla warfare copy pasta?

What do I do if mine’s not on here? What kind of mid-life-crisis is this?
Welcome friend.
We all mid-life down here.I picked drinking and having a band. Except that’s also what I did from age 16 to 40. Maybe I’ve always been in crisis.
You’re perfect, yes it’s true!
But without me-e, you’re only you
Does HRT count
This post is definitely missing gay and trans signs.
I got the bonus 5th one: Linux
Been using that since my teens
Add gardening, birdwatching, golf, volunteering?
Cycling, an instrument, home brewing, a golden retriver…
Home brewing started in my mid 20s for cheap mead. Now the only difference is slightly nicer gear like glass demijohns instead of cola bottles and added variety. Started infusing spirits with things too.

You must be thinking of a retirement-crisis
oh weird, same. Though switch golf with mushroom foraging
I don’t see “an increasingly difficult to ignore urge to bomb an oil pipeline” on here.
That comes under running , grad school and Japan
Oh wait. You said ignore…I had already committed and planned my escape to Japan
S Tier response
Hufflepuff.
Wait a minute…
No, I stand by it. Just replace the badger with a blunt.
I’m turning into a bog witch
I’ve let like half my yard grow out and turn into a de facto butterfly garden. I’ve got a birdbath where I leave shineys for the crow. It’s going pretty well, I recommend it.
I was gonna say, women have been getting sick of men and turning into bog witches for centuries now, probably longer. The more socially acceptable version was nunneries for a while, since men need to feel like they’re in control of that some way or another. I’m the city apartment version where I’m becoming a night shift vampire /other undead into tarot cards and Gnosticism.
I’m going bog witch, but I’m a dude, so I guess druid?
I’m a dude. I’m still calling it bog witch. If anyone has a problem with a dude witch they can kiss my ass.
I feel like witch accurately incorporates the spiteful aspect of nature-loving that I’m going for. I’d like to weaponize my yard.
You’re doing amazing.
Aw thanks 💜
Oh yeah I did that when I was like 18-20, it’s cool. Gnosticism and tarots are fun, I’m incorporating them into my middle aged dad bog witchery for sure.
My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.
I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.
Stick with it, and soon you’ll have a rolling chassis with destroyed interior, body full of rust holes, a crippling Miller lite addiction, and lots of friends with similar rusty old beaters that just need a little TLC.
Yeah but she’ll sound awesome and handle like a dream
Excuse me, those are speed holes to reduce drag.
Cycling, linux and archery
You forgot about bouldering / rock climbing
Just as I thought I weren’t a stereotype… oh well…
Smoking meats
True, true, this is me too. I’ve got to admit to having to hold myself back from a full on outdoor kitchen. But I have a nice grill and a huge smoker, and I’ll be here every weekend wondering how to find people who want to share 15# of pulled pork or something.
I’ve actually gone overboard with cooking in general. Replaced teflon with cast iron and stainless steel, and a griddle top , and learned how to cook so many different foods from so many cuisines.
Running and smoking meats and everything that is food, my kettle is having a hard time
Where’s the “Reclusive hermit” one.
Does this come with a “let’s try growing that beard back out” starter pack?
I thought that was assumed since Lemmy?
None of the above?
Strength training and returned to a hobby of my younger years - cars.
E: wouldn’t even call it a midlife crisis. Just finally having a little time to have a hobby and understanding that being healthy will extend what quality years I have left.
