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
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.
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.
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.
For a little I while liked watching my karma gradually climb, with a feeling that I was contributing something. But… then I realised that one shit-post on a popular subreddit can routinely ‘earn’ more karma than 1000 high quality posts on smaller subreddits. … And with that realisation, I no longer saw any value in the karma score whatsoever.
I think it’s best that it’s gone. It skewed people to make low-effort posts in high-traffic places rather than high-effort posts in low-traffic place.
The problem of caring about karma was that after a while it was evident that effort, accuracy, attitude…none of it mattered, atleast for comments. It became mostly really easy to predict how a comment would be received, with a few exceptions from cross post traffic that would shake up the votes in waves as they were posted and down/upvote brigades flooded in.
Traditional Capitalism:
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
The herd multiplies and your bank account grows.
After a while there is nothing to eat but beef and nothing to drink but milk.
A lot of people can't afford either.
The planet is knee-deep in cow shit.
Everyone is fine with this for some reason.
Cool meme but you better put more effort when making 2048 beans 2: 4096 electric boogaloos. We are a quality pooppost community after all, not like the general quality of Reddit.
I had a ton of karma points back in the old place. I think they sent me a notice saying I was in the top 5%. Didn’t give a shit. Don’t miss it. Just don’t care at all. Glad to be here with you.
