    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.

      32s not even a notable age… If it were 17 or 85 I guess it’d be newsworthy but not 32

      @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.
