A Corvette is definitely a midlife-crisis-mobile BUT, people misunderstand what a midlife crisis actually is. It’s not about trying to be young again, it’s about finally having the money to buy/do the thing you’ve wanted to the whole time.
Money and time. I was on the grind for 20 years and poor as shit for the great majority of my life. I didn’t have the time to go do all the things I do now.
So I’m the middle aged guy riding a motorcycle, playing in bands, drinking too much in public as long as I’m not driving, going to every concert of nearly every genre I can get to…you know, living. I’m not in crisis, I’m having the time of my life. I’d say the last 8ish years have been the absolute most fun of my life.
This is also similar to why there is about a 15 year lag in nostalgic items becoming more expensive to collect. That’s about how long it takes for people to get enough of their own money to buy the things they missed out on as kids. I have actually started hearing people refer to this as the ‘quarter life crisis’ and there seems to be an equal misunderstanding around it.

I keep seeing more and more of these “reviews” for fast food chain, and they are obviously advertisement trying to go viral. Almost always the same format, with the big logo clearly visible on the top and the wholesome employee being super nice. Seriously, don’t fall for that bullshit.
I can’t believe someone would see this and go “Hahaha, man, Chili’s DOES sound good” and then go to Chili’s.
I have to imagine the vast majority of people see this, have a lil chuckle, maybe toss it an upvote, and continue on with their day. Or just ignore it all together
My all-time favorite review is easily this one:
I appreciate the (icky) subtext that the reviewer is not only eating a good amount of food off of that, but is casually wearing it around town and also touching elevator buttons with it.
… I think that was all explicitly in the text.
The only thing sub about it was the guy was wearing the accommodator out and about, amirite?
