As someone who is the stupid ~~party~~ stoner friend to a big friend group of (mostly) tech bros, this list is pretty hilarious to read from the other side.
Also fuck you for saying I'm gonna die young.
I hope you don't. And I'm sorry.
I lost my best friend in February. It fucking sucks.
He was a big partier. Once he hit his late 30s he ballooned to probably over 300. He took a nap one day and had a heart attack in his little attic room of his friend's house, where he had lived for 10 years. Our big friend group from back in the day is wondering who will go next.
My comment was supposed to be kind of wink wink tongue in cheek in tone, I'm sure that didn't come across.
I'm sorry for poking at fresh wounds. I lost my best friend too, many years ago. He was only 21, but there's no such thing as "old enough" because life is too short. And there's not enough time in this life to truly move on from something like that. There's nothing else I can say, I just hope you're doing well bud
Thanks man
