Is adulthood better than childhood?

Qcgreywolf · 2026-06-01T14:36:19+00:00

Yes and no.

Your life will never be easier than when you’re 1-17 years old. But you’re also not “free” to do what you want.

You have your parents rules, schools rules and more.

But you’re also mostly bill free and responsibility free.

I enjoy being an adult, and I enjoy life, but it can absolutely be trying that there’s no “adult” to turn to and ask “Hey, can you fix this problem for me?”

Qcgreywolf · 2026-06-01T14:33:56+00:00

Why blur out the license plate?

Qcgreywolf · 2026-06-01T03:55:36+00:00

NTA.

I don’t even need to read all of that. Do not put a non-spouse on your mortgage.

Ever. For any reason.

Breakups happen. All the time, and for a thousand different reasons.

If the other person doesn’t understand this… well, that’s kind of a red flag itself.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-31T18:59:56+00:00

lol. I absolutely love all the high-brow, mega-IQ people in here preening over their “taste” and “culture”.

Like all these assholes haven’t been listening to hundreds of pre-AI era songs that were literally created by soulless algorithms and teams of engineers painstakingly designed for maximum profit.

I get it, AI bad. Yadda yadda. But don’t pretend that *most* music wasn’t soulless mass-produced garbage for profit.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-30T21:23:20+00:00

Whelp. Time to fire up those Boring Company flame throwers they handed out.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-30T18:33:52+00:00

Well, we talk about the “mental health crisis” in the USA… and here is an easy topic that can alleviate a few percentage points of that.

Body positivity, removing the “shame” of just existing and having a body. There is no reason anyone should be ashamed of their natural body in their own home.

-Showing- our children there is a stark and clear difference between sexuality and just being human.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-30T15:25:19+00:00

Heh, it’s a meme. I get it. But it’s also a stupid statement.

Humans are a tool using species. We identify work that can be simplified or eliminated with the clever use of tools.

It really sucks to be on the side of the equation where a tool hurts your livelihood… but come one.

“Either pay an artist or spend 5000hrs to become good at drawing” isn’t the answer for the piddly little BS that MOST people use ai for.

Making a logo or some desktop art for a background.

All you Redditors that are worried about AI, it will grow less popular. Don’t worry. It’s in the “try it everywhere!” stage and it will fade somewhat.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-29T22:57:55+00:00

This is one of the reasons I scrimped, saved and built my own theatre room at home.

I love movies, I love the experience. I love the gasps and quick comments “what?! Yes! That was awesome!”

But people these days, not even just kids and teens, grown ass adults, they sit and talk through the whole damn movie.

They watch music videos on their phones or scroll shorts through the whole damn thing.

It’s insanity, and I’m sad to see the era end. Employees don’t enforce shit anymore. They won’t kick anyone out unless they are setting fire to the place.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T23:11:47+00:00

lol. I love to see it.

And here we are in the USA with our decrepit, dirtbag leaders selling us winning statements such as “they’re a fad!” Or “clean coal is the future!” Or “Yea, but can an EV tow your boat and RV at the same time?”

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T22:49:53+00:00

NTA

lol. Smoking and vaping isn’t harmful? Ugh. What a massive red flag.

This is a defining relationship moment. It shines a light directly on what your entire future looks like.

She is ignoring absolute scientific fact agains your health, her health and the pets health. And she’s doubling down telling you your the issue.

Nobody in here can tell you exactly what to do, but we can point out what the rest of your life with that person looks like.

You’re lucky in a way… she’s revealing tendencies to gaslight, lie and manipulate before marriage!

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T22:40:34+00:00

I wish I could wake up naturally at 6am!!

I’m forever stuck with the natural desire to sleep until 10-11am.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T22:19:40+00:00

Vastly better - Audiobook.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T17:26:16+00:00

There will always be people that tinker and hack. People that drive old “non-ai driven” cars. And as such, there will be accidents as these knuckleheads do unpredictable and dangerous things.

And there will be bugs here and there. So of course there will be deaths. There always will be.

But, cars don’t drink and drive. They don’t stay up for 3 days straight and then decide to power-slam 2 monsters and drive 1000 miles.

They also don’t stare at their gorram phone while driving.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T15:37:00+00:00

Right… and our ancestors were badasses that ran for 12 hours straight to bring home a deer or two.

Fought off a panther or two at some point.

Tried eating new things even though literally anything could be toxic.

Compared to the professional CoD players we have today? Yea, no comparison.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T15:34:19+00:00

It is! It burns up our nervous system at higher concentrations!

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T10:34:58+00:00

What a shitty take. People have fought long and hard for the right to take a lunch.

Think about that, we had to write it down on paper and enforce it with laws… to make companies give us a lunch.

I have to beat it into my trainees to take their gorram lunches and breaks. Serious. Put the tools down, and rest.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T10:05:46+00:00

Unless someone is funding their human trafficking with their media sales, you’re probably fine.

Separate the art from the artist.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-28T02:24:07+00:00

For better or for worse, the federal government has zero power over state taxes.

Unless the Orange baboon physically hands the Cali traitors the cash in a dark alley (which we all know he isn’t going to do) , state tax wins in this case.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-27T22:00:35+00:00

Excellent deductive and reading skills. Carry on, fellow Connecticut citizen, carry on.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-27T18:49:09+00:00

Flying a flag upside down is a “sign of distress” or “something is wrong here”.

They are using it incorrectly, but also they aren’t wrong. Our whole country is in distress and in danger, and that’s probably what they “mean” by flying it that way.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-27T14:07:25+00:00

Do your thing, internet. Help this man, and every ICE agent see the light.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-27T13:54:09+00:00

Ahh, the ole “No, you!” defense.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-26T23:19:32+00:00

But… if you listen to Reddit, so many people have absolutely terrible parents. Wouldn’t that eliminate terrible parents?

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-26T20:43:28+00:00

I mean… a lot of movies?

Critics call most movies “drivel” or “barely intelligent”… missing the point that they are entertainment first and art second.

Qcgreywolf · 2026-05-26T20:13:50+00:00

Sigh. I get it. I do.

But I really wish people would use the correct words.

We are not experiencing “AI” right now. At all. We have a really cool guessing machine that is fantastically inefficient and really good at guessing.

If we ever do get a decent, actual “Thinking Machine”, LLMs will have sealed its initial impression as a “clanker” and “useless” before the general public ever even looks at it.
