I recently heard my mid-70s mother use "YOLO." I was shook.

YOLO as an excuse to do stupid shit is such a weird thing to me. You also only die once.

Those are both the same reason; if you don't do some shit before dying, you won't have another chance.

Even more: the saying should be YOLNO (You Only Live Now Once). Miss your opportunity window of doing something, and it's gone, whether you keep living or not.

“I’m gonna regret this in the morning/immediately”

“Hey babe wanna see me do something stupid”

“I’m an engineer I know what I’m doing”

“It’ll be cheaper if I do it myself”

“How hard could it be”

“One more won’t hurt”

“Worst case scenario I die”

What's the worst that could happen?

completely rhetorical, doesn't actually consider what could go wrong

"Gotta die sometime!"

also

"It is a good day to die"

The latter was originally inspired from Little Big Man, not Star Trek as you'd assume.

Hold my beer...

Also on a serious note coming from life is short quote, anything you thought it was a recent event check that again. I broke up with my fiance and it feels like I did it last year it has been 11 years. I lost my parents and it feels like it was yesterday it has been 9 years. I gave up and left everything behind and it has been 6 years. Don't get caught off guard when life slaps your in the face while you think you're some hot young person who has all the things in the world.

Sounds like a tough decade… Tough times often lead to good advice. Hope you’re doing OK, BurnedDonutHole.

I'm alright. Thank you for asking. I just wanted to share what happened to me. Since the op opened up with live is short. Life is really short in my experience. People should treat their time like a currency and value it more since there is no going back. I'm sorry if I sound like downer. That wasn't my intent.

We do not do it because it is easy, but because we thought it would be easy!

"what's life without spontaneity?!" " The entropy, think of the entropy!" Or very popular "After such a long bad streak, the possibility that the odds are in my favor this time HAS to be high!" Edit: "watch me"

this is my personal favorite. my coworkers hate it. in their defense, it usually is a bad idea to start with, lol

If you use 5 years, it's a pretty good way to evaluate risks before doing something that sounds extremely stupid

1

Fuck it, WE BALL

Also it is not bad decision, it is high risk investment.

6

i mean i try not to make bad decisions since, you know, they're bad.

but i suppose that makes me boring

5

It's not about bad decisions per se, it's about managing risk. Life gives risk its flavor. A risk with no/little reward is maybe a bad decision. But risk is an important part of life. One that I've come to appreciate 🙂

Fuck around, Find Out.

It's turtles all the way down.

You only live once.

Do you.

I say it before too. Especially when I'm egging on someone else's stupid, but also when I'm egging myself on.

"life is like electrons in an atom. if you wanna push them to a higher energy state(make it worse) you need a high enough energy(shit bad enough goes down), and if it's not bad enough it won't get worse, if it is bad enough it's hilarious"
