Its important to note that maturity doesnt automatically come with the brain fully developing. The brain being developed is a requirement for maturity though.


Noone can tell if youre a bad person based on this. But youre definitely not the same person as back then. To the better or worse, who knows. Its in the past, you cant change it, but you can make sure that you wont be doing stuff like that (or adult equivalents) in the future. Dont bury the memories, keep them as a reminder but also dont beat yourself up over it too much.


Donno man, China seems a lot better right now than US at least.

Not saying that either should be supported though^^



You claimed that you are basing your belief on statistics, which are the opposite of ‘a hunch’. Turns out it was just that.


By this logic, if I post 10000 videos claiming 2+2=5, it becomes true by ‘statistics’?
To answer your question though, statistics are not predetermined independently from the truth. Truth is the basis and the number of claims for any statement does not change that. By assuming that 1% of all sightings are real, you already assumed that aliens must exist. The probability for aliens being real under the assumption that aliens are real is 100%, but you just made the premise up. This is not how statistics work.
There are many examples from the past, like witches, werewolves, vampires, giants, … People used to claim their existence but not anymore. By your reasoning they must have existed back then but suddenly they dont anymore?
Also how come ghosts and aliens exist almost exclusively in the US? There are almost no reports in any other country.
Just for fun, Ill try to come up with an example using your ‘statistics’, I wonder if you can argue against it without invalidating the reasoning in your post.
There are 8bn people on earth. They are all reporting that they themselves are human. Even if 99.999% of those reports are true, that leaves 80,000 non-humans amongst them.

TL:DR lies dont become true just because they are being told often.


A friend of mine whose decisionmaking I respect a lot. Good balance of logic and empathy. He would be an awesome president and hed hate me for dumping that shitton of responsibility on him. Wouldnt want to be in his shoes. Also id miss him, but its for the best.


That may be the case. I will need to conduct my own research^^


  • that sugary sweets make kids act “hyper”

Do you happen to have a source for that? Coz I have witnessed kids act like a horde of wild monkeys on crack right after eating dessert on multiple occasions.


I see, thats actually good practice, just unusual. The “who” also sounds less odd.


Not a native speaker but the last one, using ‘it’ instead of ‘they’ would sound the most natural to me


I think Cyberpunk is more likely. Huge buildings, no plants, no animals, everything controlled by big corps and law is basically non-existent except if rich folk are affected


Maybe they are friends but have different political and social values. That happens.

If supporting fascists in taking over the USA is a deal-breaker to you, thats totally understandable though. But remember it is the easy way out, convincing them would be the right thing but much harder.


I couldnt care less. I never understood how people would be angry at others for forgetting their birthdays. Its just a damn anniversary…


Thats not my point. A poll usually serves the purpose to gather information. If you know from the start the outcome is completely useless, why even start it in the first place?


Nice bullshit poll making ‘Yes’ the pre-selected choice and clicking an other option not changing it, even when its highlighted. Dragging choices is absolutely counterintuitive and actively misleading. Lets start a poll if people like murder and wonder about the 50/50 result at the end.


Thats what Im on about. If they would do what youre saying, captcha wouldnt fail just because of clicking fast.


Why do I have to ‘act like a human’ when Im already human…


Before I started doingwhat you describe, Captha would fail on me multiple times. Sometimes I would have to solve 5 captcha in a row. Really annoying. How is ‘clicking fast’ not human enough if you do it with realistic mouse movement?


If the population quadrupled in your lifetime you must be over 100 years old?
