    Dear Young Folk,

    Physical aging happens ridiculously fast. Faster than you imagine. The years just tick away like minutes.

    Mental aging goes much slower (barring dementia or other malidies, of course).

    The crazy thing is that even once older (I’ll turn 60 this year) your view of yourself quite often feels like you’re still much younger.

    I internally feel perpetually 30-35. Until I try to (say) run or sprint, or jump off something, then… oh my. I really am 60. Another example: my brain knows how to throw a fast ball (ingrained from when I was a teenager). If I actually try… uhh… no go. My arm revolts.

    I’ve even asked my 83 year old mom how her internal self feels. She says the same - still feels like she did in her 30s on the inside. On the outside she has to intentionally walk very carefully so as not to fall and break something.

    Moral of the story? Enjoy that young body while you have it. Seriously. It won’t last.


  • This answer is from Kagi’s search summary: I don’t know how accurate it may or may not be:


    As of 2024, the specific U.S. states that only define rape as requiring penis insertion are:

    • Alabama
    • Florida
    • Idaho
    • Kansas
    • Louisiana
    • Mississippi
    • North Carolina
    • Oklahoma
    • South Carolina
    • Texas

    These states have not updated their legal definitions of rape to include other forms of sexual penetration or oral sex, which can lead to underreporting and inadequate prosecution of sexual assault cases. It is important to note that federal law and many other states have broader definitions of rape that encompass various forms of non-consensual sexual contact.
