    Usually when I get a really dumb comment from someone, I look at their profile and the only thing they ever talk about is sports. Not my idea, just an observation.

      Holy shit me too. And I have plenty of smart friends who love sports, but the correlation online happened way too many times

    It also helps to remember the vast majority of users are children under the age of about 24. That really puts things in perspective.

        I sure do. It’s surprising you would disagree, so I’d guess that you are either very young yourself, or unaware of the facts. I’m almost north of the 40 border and the interns and junior associates at work literally look like children to me.

        I’m not a neurologist but it’s pretty much understood and accepted that brains aren’t fully formed until 24 or 25, particularly in terms of judgement and rational though and emotion.

        I’m an SME in a technical field (tax) so I need only refer to literally any thread to see abundant examples of petulant whiny children screaming about technical shit they don’t understand. I remind myself that these are very young immature people still wet behind the ears, with very little real word experience, before engaging them in debate.

        Unironically yes. Of course when I was around that age I didn’t but now I really do. As far as maturity I don’t see a major difference between an 18 year old and 22 year old. So you attended school a few more years? Entered the workforce for a few years? That’s not maturity imo but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I wouldn’t say child but definitely still in the teenager category imo although they’re not actually teens ofc

          Wonder how this will change once you reach, like, 60 :D Would anyone under 40 be a child?

            It’s a reasonable thought and I’m curious too. Didn’t Treebeard call Gandalf young once, and Gandalf is like 8,000 years old or something?

            That said, I haven’t seen or felt much change from early 30s vs late 30s, compared to a huge difference from early vs late 20s. My dad is almost 70 and I think of him as young-ish. Certainly not old anyway (although I know plenty of people a bit younger than him that I consider “old”.) I asked him recently what he considers old and he said 85 or so. Guess it’s all relative.

      In my opinion, it’s French piss. Don’t get me wrong, Italian piss is good and all, but the reason I prefer French piss is because it still has the Europeany piss taste that Italian piss has, but tastes a bit more sour which gives it a richer flavor. It also feels a bit more classy than Italian piss. Italian piss is a close runner-up though. I hope you take this into consideration, Thank you.

    Yep. Someone was talking about ear piercings and bodily autonomy. I commented that I wanted my ears pierced and my grandma took me to her doctor to have them professionally done instead of going to Claire’s. Got downvoted to hell. Wtf.

    I’ll never forget a cliche r/guns post with a dude showing off his new rifle and all the comments were “do not click on profile”. I clicked it and it was gay furry butthole pics. It was suprisingly well received by the sub, to each their own. That stood as a stark reminder of just how different people can be.

    My brain refuses to accept someone voluntarily drinks their own piss regularly when they have other options readily available… If someone actually does this please post an ama… I have so many questions

    The mediocre loves mediocrity – if a random person behaves like a 12 year old, then he (very likely) is a 12 year old or has a mind of one.

      “Every repost is a repost. The human brain, as a neural network; is based on weights and biases of experiences and grabbed ideas. All posts, even “originally made”, are made with ideas taken from somewhere different. You are most likely imitating someone else, without even knowing that you are copying them, and you aren’t giving them credit. Every post, even the one made by someone that doesn’t what memes are, drawn on paper by hand, coming from a 3 year old, is a repost by nature. So, stop crying that I reposted the same meme for the 27th time in the last 5 hours; as they are no different from the other memes in this community.”
