Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

early 40s and I don't feel old at all. Yet my younger zoomer coworkers behave like life is over at 24-26. Last time I asked my parents (boomers), they told me they started feeling old in their early 30s. Might be a generational thing.

I finally feel like an adult but I think that's less to do with my age and far more to do with my family, career and financial status. Physically I'm in far better shape now than I was a decade ago, so I've got that going for me at least!

Yeah idk, I'm 35 and I've felt like a teenager trapped in a slowly decaying meat prison since I was like... 17 maybe? Even as I graduated, got a job, got married, started a family... Every step it was just like "Surely this is where I finally start to feel like a real Grown-Up," and every time it just doesn't change. I still feel like a stupid teenager pretending to be an adult. One that does an alright job pretending mind you, but I still feel like I'm just pretending even after this long.
