I'll spare you my gay saga, but to cheer you up: Thanks to medical strides and our indoor-loving HN crew [0], hitting 30 is simply not a crisis. The phrase "30's are the new 20's" is something to live by. You've got loads of time ahead, no worries. [0] ▶ this video . Explores why previous generations looked older when they were our age.
Mad Men argument doesn't hold up either, Michael from Vsauce did a recent video on exactly this, we simply perceive images of young people in the past decades as older than they are ▶ this video
Non native speaker here, it's the second time this week[1] that I see "didn't used to..." instead of what I believe to be the correct form "didn't use to...". Aren't verbs after "did/didn't" always supposed to be in the present tense? For example you would say "I didn't see you last night" rather than "I didn't saw you last night". Is there a grammatical rule I'm missing? [1] the other one was this video by youtuber Vsauce, ▶ this video EDIT: wow so many interesting responses, thank you!
