For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Hitler was 43 when he finally rose to power. Before that, there were several setbacks, but he didn’t give up. Likewise, Mao Zedong was 55 when his dreams came true after decades of struggle. They both came close to death, but they didn’t give up.
You’re not too old. Just keep on following your dreams. If those monsters could do it, so can you.
