How's that post go again
If I have to get exposed to the political opinions of a 14 year old again, I'm going to scream?I remember when we first set up shop here and I realized there were actual teenagers amogus. I threw up in my mouth a little with the idea of talking to someone half my age without realizing it.
Good news is it's 3 years later and they've all likely grown into full people at this point.
they're not mathematically half my age anymore
It's the math that counts
It's been really fun going from high school to drinking age on this site
"You shouldn't be allowed to moderate a website unless you can legally buy your own alcohol and down your sorrows in it"
sometimes I remember moderating subreddits when I was a teen, and I wonder why I did that.
I had fully grown adults getting so mad at me and beefing with me over the stupidest things when I was 16 on here lol
I do not remember believing anything particularly strongly when I was 14 o_O
I was an anti-religious dweeb due to conflating all religion with the fucked up evangelical churches my mom would drag me to and I had a copy of The Stranger that I would take every with me and try to be seen reading.
Like if I met an identical 14 year old I wouldn't think he was doomed to suck forever but I definitely wouldn't want to hear his thoughts.
the sad thing is that 14 year old was and is doing better than 90% of US voters
every 14 year old is going to believe something dumb because they only just started having their own opinions
I remembered some good sentiments, but with no correct way to enforce being supplied, and some stupid fascist programming I hadn't seen as such yet. Most of my takes were abysmal at that age, but I was at least highly feminist and had a strong but flawed anti-racism stance.
Idk, maybe a lot of mine were just suppressed or I had been so cowed that I just didn't have anything going on inside. Just agree with whoever you're talking to
I I've always been an opinionated, often contrarian ass. My evolution to leftist involved, I shit you not, Prager U ytps, because I found leftists dunked harder and better than anyone else.
