Now I am feeling sorry I did not…

There’s some really fun chemistry in the rare-earth magnets - I used to buy them in bulk to enlarge my own IT-workshop collection, which was mostly broken down for Nd salts. Also, the magnets from iMac screens were also plentiful when HDD magnets got small (and then went extinct).

Dang those are some nice buns.

bighatchester,

They came out pretty good . Much better than my previous attempts.

Maturity plays a much more important role than age. Some people are never fit to marry, some have what it takes by the time they are 16/17. It’s not often that it plays out well for the youngest ones, and since each year brings new experiences and understandings each year moves along the bell curve of “marriage readiness”. So is it more likely that a 24 year old is more ready for marriage than a 18 year old. Yes. Is it guaranteed? No. I know some 50/60 year olds that still aren’t ready for marriage. They just never learned the skills it takes to have a healthy marriage. Giving an age as a hard cutoff is too arbitrary a measure. Age doesn’t guarantee shit.

TakuWalker,

That’s it, end of thread. Maturity plays such an important factor it’s astonishing it’s not the first thing being discussed instead of an arbitrary number.

24yo people don’t see themselves as children. This post is probably coming from a 40yo person.

Lightfire228,

As a 27yo, I’m still trying to figure out how to better organize myself. I was one of those kids that never had to take notes in school

And now that’s coming back to bite me, because I’m completely new to note-taking, but am working on large 20yo code bases with tons of tech-debt and spaghetti madness. Along with tons of technical jargon in a completely different field. I just can’t keep all that in my head anymore

The point is, i feel like an adult in certain aspects, and a child in others

I think I’ve… no, I’ve never done any of that before, sorry.

Which is exactly why I can’t learn foreign languages. No amount of brute force will make my vocab any better. I can’t remember shit. If I could, this comment would be much more witty and funny.

intensely_human,

It’s so sad you’ve had to go through life only knowing those fifteen words

trashgirlfriend,

for languages you can already competently speak, reading is probably the best way to improve your vocab

This is pretty clever and funny for a cartoon from the 50s. Feels like it would fit in with modern webcomic humour no problem

Modern version: additional panel where the kid pulls out his phone and says, “I’m gonna bully him on social media!”

dudinax,

Original peanuts was cutting edge about 20% of the time.

I can blow balloons up with my nose. In fact, I can even multitask and do one with each nostril. I also learned to do them with my nose before my mouth (don’t ask why, I really don’t know. Yeah I can be a bit weird).

bitwolf, to linuxmemes in Never again

It’s not my favorite option. But at least use Discourse.

Any of the modern forum systems (Discourse, Flarum, NodeBB) is fine as long as it works. Previous-gen forum systems (SMF, phpBB, MyBB, Vanilla, etc) are fine too.

Tristaniopsis, to memes in You're just a kid, how would you know what you want for the rest of your life?

At 53 with a partner and two kids, I am currently in deep, deep depression wishing that I’d married the girl I split up with at 24.

LaserTurboShark69,

Do you miss the 24 year old girl or do you miss being 24?

Tristaniopsis, (edited )

The girl, who is now about 49 with two kids.

I’m fine with being oldish. I’m a much wiser and less impulsive person.

pigup,

oof

Custodian1623,

no shame in therapy if you haven’t been

Tristaniopsis,

I’ve been for other issues but it’s more or less all the same: “pull yourself together, stop XYZ”

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Tristaniopsis, (edited )

Thought about turning it off, plenty of times. Off. Right off. Like unplugging it completely.

Baphomet_The_Blasphemer,

Well, for whatever it’s worth, this internet stranger is happy you’re still here. As long as you’re here, it can get better.

Tristaniopsis,

Thanks Baph!

mothar,

I think I may have just gone down the same path and im scared I may have the same realization one day.

Why did you guys split up back then?

Tristaniopsis,

Me being an impulsive dork and dumping her for a far less intelligent girl with bigger breasts who didn’t even really happen even. That was it. Game over. She wouldn’t take me back.

TBH I should’ve ended myself then but was too stupid to even realise that was the better option than living another 20 years without her. Still… I wouldn’t have wanted to hurt my parents. Been distracting myself ever since with lots of other stuff. Can’t do it now because of my kids, and mother still alive. Dad fucked in head with dementia. Oh well. Keep trudging on and now have Lemmy to make stupid comments on. Yay.

Tristaniopsis, to lemmyshitpost in Lmk

I don’t.
