Why do articles like this feel the need to include the blogger's age?
To remind other 32+ year olds how little we've accomplished in our lives.
that was unnecessary, FeelsBadMan
It's how it made me feel :(
32s not even a notable age... If it were 17 or 85 I guess it'd be newsworthy but not 32
I, 69, don't know.
@bl4kers @floofloof I think it's interesting that it's just a 30 something dude.
The things he's found aren't super detective stuff either, he's taken an interest, found a few pictures that look suspicious, looked some more and wrote about it. Something anyone can do.
I find that motivating.
