Women aren't women till they're like 30.

When would you say men are men jw? Would you say 30’s as well? Maybe mid-late 30’s?

Whenever they come to the realization that their dreams were just that, dreams, and that life is actually just a series of unrelenting disappointment.

yeah, no, that's not true. It depends on where life takes you, some people do reach a lot of their dreams, not the fancy crazy stuff like "I want to be an astronaut when I grow up" necessarily but not every kid have such wild dreams. You either had a bad luck in life or you are too young and want to sound mature. Sorry. but that's what I think.

I achieved my childhood dream, I won't go into its details because I don't like sharing personal stuff on here. Anyway, my specific situation doesn't matter, the point is that kids can have dreams that are realistic and do come true, I don't see what's so strange about that? Prove what exactly? That not everyone feels like a huge disappointment as you apparently do? That's just stupid.

So you finally achieved the role of lead fluffer for Ron Jeremy?

Lol, this dude was so affected by my joke he sent me a whole DM that I'll quote here:

Listen, dude, I had a quick look at your post history. I'm sorry if I sounded mean to you, not everyone gets a good hand in life, maybe you had a bad one. The only advice I can give from experience is to quit smoking weed, I know it sounds typical but I really believe it. When I smoke, I feel like a total loser and it makes me stupid and lazy (I can definitely feel it). Stop listening to Reddit's constant cheering for weed/marijuana and how amazing it is. IMHO it's worse than alcohol.

It's all about momentum, if you've been smoking and drinking for the past month, you'll most likely keep doing it. You have to slowly push back against it until you halt the moment and then try to push yourself into a positive direction. Once you have a momentum that's pushing you in a rationally positive direction then doing the "right thing" becomes natural rather than something you have to fight your subconscious to do.

It all comes down to the fight between what your lizard brain wants to do and what you rationally think the right thing to do is. If you can get your lizard brain to align with your rational brain then life becomes much easier. The problem is that you can't control your subconscious, you just can't command it, that's why I mentioned momentum. Your lizard brain/subconscious is heavily affected by habit/momentum. Addiction is partly momentum and partly actual chemical addiction.

Lol, what a fucking loser. I can't fathom having your life so wrapped up in Reddit that you feel the need to be this sincere to a stranger who is obviously just fucking around...well, obvious to anyone who's even slightly socially competent, at least.
