He does sound unhappy, but come on, taunting him for it seems a bit unnecessarily cruel I think. I genuinely feel bad when I hear people excluding themselves from life's pleasures because of age. I mean, sure, I'm old so I don't have sex or consume music in the same way I used to. But I don't have any plans to give up and stop listening, it's one of the things that makes life worth living I feel. If anything, it means more to me now than it ever has. Hearing people willingly give these things up makes me pretty sad honestly. So I'm gonna listen to a song that vibes with my sadness right now
I was crass because they insist that everyone over a certain age should give up like they have.
my intention wasn't to torment them, but to provide a moment of self-reflection.
some care for the carrot, others prefer the stick.

I don't know, I've never met anyone who actually prefers the stick. I know that the stick is a necessary measure in a lot of policy making to improve efficiency, but I've never seen the receiver preferring it to the carrot. Not trying to attack you or anything, just wanted to share my thoughts since you wrote that your intent was to induce a moment of self reflection. In my experience, that's far easier to achieve with the carrot, particularly when strangers discuss stuff online. Anyway, I'll stop talking now, have a good day.

The most curious thing in the whole mess is the revelation that Americans actually think companies should react to this kind of thing. Like the employer would “naturally” and “obviously” have a right to invade employees’ personal life and privacy.
