[Guy makes a tweet about what you should have 'by age 30.' People's responses were hilarious.]( When Steve Adcock, an entrepreneur and âfitness buffâ posted this to his Twitter: âBy age 30, you should have a group of friends that talk business, money, and fitness, not politics and pop culture.â ⦠people had thoughts. His post might have been intended as more of an encouragement to surround yourself with people who challenge your current mindset, considering the tweet continued with âone of the biggest mistakes I've ever made was making friends with like-minded folks who talked about the same [stuff] over and over. I agreed with 99% of it. Your comfort zone will kill your progress.â But still, overall the tweet left an unsavory taste in peopleâs mouthsâprimarily because it implied that money was somehow a better conversation topic than what people are usually genuinely passionate about. Why not talk about your favorite television show with friends if it lights you up inside? It also seemed to uphold the dying myth that by the age of 30, the puzzle pieces of adulthood should somehow, as if by magic, simply fall into place. And this is where folks chimed in with their own hilarious (and sarcastic) jokes about what one should expect by their third decade on planet Earth. They did not disappoint. Here are 12 things you didnât know you needed by the time you turn 30.
[Family overjoyed to find message in a bottle written by their late son 33 years ago]( In 1989, 11-year-old Brian Dahl had no idea that a message in a bottle he cast out to sea near Oxford, Mississippi, would one day be the final words the world would hear from him. But according to a report from U.S. News, his family believes that his message was heaven-sent. It all began last April when Billy Mitchell of Big River Shipbuilders saw a green bottle bobbing up and down in the water near a barge. "I'm always that way," Mitchell, the salvage diver with the company, told USA Today. "I always look for stuff that's uniqueâdriftwood or anything ... I told my buddy, I said, 'there's a message in this bottle!'" Mitchell grabbed the bottle out of the ocean and 30 minutes later gently removed the message inside with the help of shish kebab skewers.
[What is vasculitis? Ashton Kutcher shed some light on the rare disease after his diagnosis.]( On a recent episode of National Geographic's âRunning Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge,â actor Ashton Kutcher opened up about being diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called vasculitis. According to WebMD, vasculitis is a general term for several conditions (which are currently unknown) that cause inflammation in the blood vessels. Different types of vasculitis affect different organs, and all at varying degrees. Some forms of the disease might not even need treatment, while others could be severe and result in organ damage and even aneurysms. General symptoms include fever, weight loss, fatigue, rashes and pain. But because vasculitis affects different parts of the body, more specific symptoms include ulcers, ringing in the ears, itchy eyes, numbness in the hands or feet, shortness of breath and bleeding under the skin. Kutcher, who dealt with a particularly rare form of vasculitis, told Grylls that it âknocked out my vision, it knocked out my hearing, it knocked out like all my equilibriumâ in an exclusive clip from "Access Hollywood" leading up to the episode.
[Little League player comforts distraught pitcher whose errant throw hit him in the head]( Youth sports have gotten more intensely competitive, to the point where overeager parents and coaches have to regularly be reminded to take it down a notch. So when humanity takes precedence over team rivalries, it's extra heartwarming. And considering how many "kids these days" laments we see coming from older generations, it's also heartening to see kids showing excellent character qualities when no one directly asked them to. A viral video from a Little League baseball game is giving us a nice dose of bothâgood sportsmanship and basic human kindness from two players from opposing teams. As reported by USA Today, Isaiah (Zay) Jarvis, a batter from Oklahoma, took a pitch from Texas East pitcher Kaiden Shelton right to the side of his helmet. It was a hard blow that caused Jarvis to spin around and crumble to the ground, grabbing his head. The replay in slow motion shows that the ball basically just knocked his helmet off, though it was undoubtedly jarring and probably painful as well.
[People rally around 12-year-old boy who was paid with a fake $100 bill at his lemonade stand]( There are few things more despicable than robbing a childâs lemonade stand. Thatâs probably why people in Everett, Washington, and around the country are rallying around 12-year-old Jeremy Ryzhonkov. According to a report by the Everett Police Department, Jeremy was selling lemonade and snacks on the street when he was approached by a man who asked for $15 worth of drinks but only had a $100 bill. Jeremy gave the man $85 change from his allowance but after the man left, the boy noticed the bill looked a little strange. âThe numbers looked different on each color and the hundred dollar bill was smaller and the color was kind of different,â Jeremy told King 5 News. Jeremy ran the bill over to a gas station where the attendant told him it was a fake. The gas station attendant called the Everett police who put a call out for the man on Facebook.
