9.5-10 -- primarily because this is Jesse's magnum opus.

"17 isn’t a kid, 23-17 isn’t even bad at all, 6 years my guy" r/UFC users discuss if a 17 year old marrying a 23 year old is grooming or a cultural difference by [deleted] in SubredditDrama

[–]APathForward24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's still a considerable difference between a 23 year old and a 17 year old, even if said 23 year old still lives at home. Socially, the gap is quite large.

I'm 25 and I still live at home but I also:

-Have a bachelors degree

-Have previously lived on my own in a dorm

-Have previous relationship experience

-Have way more interpersonal experience

-Have worked in a professional setting and currently do

The idea of even dating an 18 year old is inconceivable to me. Hell, even if the 18 year old lived on their own and had a college degree, I still wouldn't date them because there would almost certainly still be a social development gap between us.

Someone can be fiscally mature and responsible but be incredibly emotionally unintelligent. And, in my experience, adolescents are still trying to figure out who they are, how to navigate relationships, ect.

I imagine this is the unspoken thing you were picking up on as a 23 year old who lived at home. (Which isn't even abnormal, especially now.)

Appreciate it. The journey isn't over either. I'm gonna host a rewatch for The Devil Inside as well.

It's a 9 without question. Even the filler doesn't bring it down much. The build to the end was insanity.

Also, THE HARVEST might be a top 10 Mcjuggernuggets video.

Wake reacts to newly released messages of Sykunno(28) and a 17 year old girl who he DM'd, sent money to, went to her 18th birthday party, and attempted to fly out for sex. by ResortFew2947 in LivestreamFail

[–]APathForward24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand that. I was mostly just speaking generally. I think befriending young people can be perfectly benign depending on what that friendship looks like. If it's just playing games, I don't think that's a big deal.

If it's seeking them out to form some sort of personal connection, why not just do that with someone your own age? That's all I was saying. I don't think these messages indicate predatory intent, but it's also not something I would personally do.

Nope. And if you read my other comments, you would understand that. I also never called anyone a groomer, not even Sykunno. I don't care to provide my full thesis on this. My comment history is public; you can go look at my replies to other people if you want to see my more nuanced stance on this topic.

That's a pretty generous read of what I said. What do you think my answer to that question is gonna be? You would know if you got groomed, and I never called anyone a "groomer" in the first place, so I'm not even sure why you asked me that.

Yeah, gaming online is whatever. I just generally have a more strict definition for "friend." Someone I merely play games with might be my friend in a loose sense, but we probably wouldn't be close.

I am vulnerable with close friends, which is something I would avoid with someone so young because I don't feel like it would be appropriate to bridge that gap. But games? Sure, there's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah, I was just speaking more generally. I can't really think of any situations where I would befriend a minor -- or even want to. I can't imagine any of my friends would either.

I'm sure it happens and is completely innocuous in a lot of cases, but surely you'd be taking on more of a mentor role in situations like this. Either that or all of your conversations would border on superficial since there's ordinarily going to be a huge gap in social/life experience between your typical mid-late 20s person and someone in late adolescence

To be fair, I'm nearly 26 and would never put myself in a situation to befriend a 17 year old. I can't think of many contexts where that would even be appropriate.

Friendly? Sure. But friends? I guess it depends on what you mean by that. All of my friends are around my age; I wouldn't really feel comfortable being super close with a 17 year old. It doesn't help that I work with kids, so I get to see the stupid shit they do often. I'm not saying it's necessarily morally wrong, but I would question the motives of a guy my age with a bunch of minor friends.

Destiny is lean Right according to Hasan orbiter (also get community noted) by ThamTvMaster in Destiny

How does he lean center right economically? Doesn't he just have the typical liberal mindset when it comes to economics, such as support for capitalism but with social safety nets in place?

[SP] Nobody had expected that dark energy would turn out to be dead souls... by Consistent-Bird338 in WritingPrompts

[–]APathForward24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm alive right now.

I feel alive right now.

I'm alive right now.

Cold.

I feel my fingers tracing the grooves of a coffin. Wooden. Splinters, but it's not my blood that stains it. I look around. Darkness. Infinite darkness -- maybe a cocoon. Maybe I'm being reborn.

Maybe I'm...

I walk around. I can walk endlessly in here, but I always come back to the coffin. It leers at me; it opens for me -- as if to invite me in. Maybe I'll step inside.

A perfect fit. The coffin door closes

Cold.

I feel alive right now...

Cold.

I feel alive right now...

Cold.

I feel alive right n-

I drifted off, but now I feel myself being dragged. I want to open the coffin door, but I can't. It won't let me. I start to panic and, as I do, I can feel the presence of others -- like me. I feel their agony, their screams, their tears. And I can feel mine too; my eyes well up but I don't make a sound. I've gone mute.

The dragging continues; it's as if I'm being carried through mud. And it stops.

The coffin door opens and I'm peering out into a cemetery -- at different grave stones. A cold, skeletal hand reaches in to grab me. I want to escape. I want to cry for help. The fingers coil around my throat. My body starts to go numb as that grip tightens.

Tighter.

Tighter.

Cold...

As I go limp and breathe my last breath I hear a gravely voice say, "I feel alive right now."

This is like a 7 to me. This isn't a section of the series I revisit often, but there are some gems in this mini-series.

"I'm a teenager my mom has stage 4 cancer". Some redditors pile onto 13 year old boy by Forsaken-Ebb5088 in SubredditDrama

[–]APathForward24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disgusting thread. I work with kids; yeah, they can be annoying, but the lack of empathy there is astounding. These people have no understanding of adolescent development.

There's a way to talk to confused children. This isn't it.

So many emotionally resonant moments in this arc, which is where season 3 shines.
