You Are Now Entering the No Selfie Zone

One of my pet peeves is being forced to see people who are obviously aging taking selfies of themselves and posting it to social media. If I follow you, or perhaps happen to glance at my phone, I am a captive audience to your depravity. Let me enlighten you to something.

After the age of 30, selfies should be illegal. The only judgement people will make when seeing your photos is how remarkable or hideous you look for your age. They’ll say stuff like “wow, she looks great  for 45. Or doesn’t he look young? He’s really 47.” They’re not actually saying you look good, mind you.

I find it to be insulting to my time for you to post selfies of yourselves after the age of 30. Older persons, such as myself (38), should resort to posting pictures of oddities or events that you happen to enjoy. Ergo, folks, you are in the no-selfie zone, a place where people know and understand to be beautiful is to be young  and if you’re not young, you’re just aging well.

Age gracefully and stop taking photographs of your wrinkles.

Markets are heading lower and futures are vomiting all over themselves. Prepare to be SAMSONITE HAMBURGALAR’d tomorrow.

    Anyone that takes Joy or Fear from Futures, is a rank amateur, not worthy of riches.

    For. This is the HOUSE OF THE FLY, and he has lost his father at the wrong end of a gun, he has known riches and poverty. Now, let us cast off the great fear laid down on us all on a daily basis by the media, and profit from their fear.

    “Face” book makes le Fly’s point all too apparent.

    No, I will not be your “friend,” mature lady I don’t remember from high school.

    It is a vampire’s curse that men patina while women, in general, age. Mrs. Anton being a remarkable exception.

    Go to CNBC for succor, and your thirst will not be slaked, for you will swallow the bitter bile of the dead. (Holy shit I cracked myself up with that crap)

    A reasonable business question…

    Will under 30 people take their consumer habits into adulthood, and will the new under 30 people have the same habits or different ones?

    I don’t expect millennials to grow old and start sending letters via the US Mail, but will they be glued to a personal device at age 45?

    For those who have leathered the left side of their face after years of driving in the sun, I suggest a move to the UK to obtain a more balanced look.

    You are a total dick and usually wrong. You find it funny to be an extreme dick and there are lots of others like you out there. We know your type, and your type always has a following of arse-kissers hoping to be friends with the dick. You must have aged like crap to have your opinion. I’m over 30 and people assume I am 20, with no words exchanged. I look like a kid, and I will always fair just that much better than ugly ass people like you.
