@decryption Forty is the new eighty.
@decryption This has got to be the Drunk who rambles for what feels like 100 pages in Crime & Punishment? I may have skimmed or skipped a lot of that and then had to refer back to it later in the novel
@decryption in Russia till late 1960's life expectancy was around 40 years old, mainly due to high vodka consumption and a poor quality health system..
@decryption Now I have to set a reminder for myself to rediscover this upon my 40th birthday...
@decryption Don’t worry. He lived in Russia, had a big beard and probably looked 75 and like a bag of spanners when he wrote it. 3 years of Russian living was probably equal to 6 years in the west!

"I am forty now, and forty years is a lifetime; it is extreme old age. To go on living after forty is unseemly, disgusting, immoral! Who goes on living after forty?"
@decryption Speaking as a silver haired, fragrant old man, I concur wholeheartedly.
@decryption crime and punishment?
@decryption Russia specialises in glorifying it’s own people suffering. Always has. These writings were promoted for a reason.
@decryption You're clearly a fellow fool and rogue.
@decryption Checks out, I am a 44yo Fool and a Rogue.
@decryption I'm silver-haired, but I hope I'm not fragrant.
@decryption can't decide if I am fool or rogue
(I am fool)
