    Meh, my cousin didn’t have his first kid until he was in his 40s, ya got plenty of time to figure out, for example, if you even want a partner and kids, or if you just see those as milestones ya gotta tap to not disappoint people around you.

      I had a boss who got married when he was 40 as well. Same as others, I’m also unmarried and in early 30s, but I don’t feel the need to keep up with the Joneses either. I still have many things to do before I feel the need to settle down. There are plenty of people who marry late and don’t regret it. It’s best to figure out first what you want before jumping the gun, simply for the sake of social conformance and then regret it. I’m sure we know of people regretting marrying early, or stick to an unhappy marriage out of insecurity or for whatever reason.

    So I was disappointed with how underutilized did of the characters were in Naruto, and with some of the really bad thought processes they had. Controversially I actually did like Kaguya as the final villain though.

      I know it’s a meme to talk about my boy rock Lee, but literally one of the most hype fight scene powerups of all time, and one of the most compelling characters of no natural talent/bloodline just effort and heart, and they sidelined him hard!

      Rock Lee for hokage 2024!

        Rock Lee only uses tae (Thai?) jutsu but is one of the few characters I’d expect an entertaining fight from if he went toe to toe with anyone in the series. He wouldn’t necessarily win, but his secret power was that everyone underestimated him, even those who knew he was strong didn’t appreciate just how strong he was until he surprised them.

        It was always hilarious to watch the dynamic between Guy and Lee with Tenten and Negi helplessly watching on as the two worked each other up.

          Agreed, any fight with him is entertaining even if he has no shot at winning. Even when he was bound to lose to kimimaro bro gets drunk and tries anyway, becoming some of the best fights the series would see for awhile.

    After looking at the production process of Dragonball Daimo I’m very excited. Toriyama played a big role before his passing and the directors are an all star cast including the person who directed One Piece Red. I’m always down for more Dragonball.

    15-28: I did nerd stuff and played a lot of videogames. Now 39: Married and have four kids, no time for games and nerd stuff is now called: “having a job”

    If I look back, I would do it again in the same way. Time to teach the kids some nerd stuff and videogames.

      As the oldest Millennial (just scrape in), I insist they peaked at Dragon Ball. A half beaten to death pre-teen launching himself through the bad guy to defeat him? Epic stuff.

      (Married at 22. You can marry young and be in your 40’s discussing Dragon Ball with internet strangers!)
