Dear Reverend,

Is there a better method to figure out the age range of my OKCupid match search that the stand by of:

youngest = (MyAge/2)+7
oldest = (MyAge-7)*2
-PopeTom

I am the result of 13.75 ± 0.13 billion years of random chance. Now that I exist I see no reason to start planning and organizing everything in my life.

Random dumb luck got me here, random dumb luck will get me to where I'm going.

Hail Eris!

No, that's a pretty safe way to go.  The older end has some latitude, but not very much.  Interests, etc, change as people age, and you'll die miserable if you spend your early 40s going to quilting bees and bingo marathons.

ROGER'S STANDARD ADVICE CONCERNING COPS, PRISON/JAIL GUARDS, AND DISTRICT ATTORNEYS:

Quote from: The Terrible Voice of ExperienceCops, prison/jail guards, and DAs deal with scumbags all the time.  Within a few years, they think EVERYONE is a scumbag, even their coworkers.  This leads them to be incredibly bitter and a stone bitch to be around.

Obviously, this doesn't ALWAYS happen, but it occurs enough to be almost an axiom.  Not saying to back off, just warning you to watch your ass.

Will do. He's terribly naive, so I think it'll bite him kind of hard.

Well, yeah.  First, they're going to dump the unwinnable ones on him to give him some experience.  This is what DAs do when they think someone is innocent.  Why drop the charges, when you can toss it to the new guy?  Sure, the poor bastard defendant in question gets hauled through the wringer, but there's no experience like the real thing, right?  (This happened to me for 2.5 years, once.  It ran me about $25K in travel and lawyer's fees).

Then he'll prosecute his first pimp or pedo.  When that happens, you'll know whether he's gonna be okay or if he's gonna be an embittered jackass for the rest of his life.

The good news is, the ones that survive the process become essentially bedrocks of principle, which is probably the best kind of dude there is.
