This is always a good thing because it means you have grown. Be very wary of people who liked their past selves better.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago

Yeah, especially the ones who "peaked in high school". Those are usually bullies, dullards and combinations of both.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

Don’t worry about the bullies. You‘ll barely ever meet them. Except if you ever make it to the board of directors which is unlikely. (Not you personally, just statistics)

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

Or if you move into a neighborhood with an HOA.

Thanks. The funny part is that this is like the 5th variation that I tried because all the others were already taken months ago on multiple instances, hence the extra underscore.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Interesting! I assume it would be possible to change the u‘s for v‘s or the e for a 3, the s for a 5 but I suppose thats not important. :)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

If you find it interesting, then it's already important:

Im older than that and it doesn't change you just have more sympathy for the younger versions of yourself.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

True the cringe kind of goes away. Or at least it's not like full body cringe attacks like they used to be

Not Another Teen Movie, if anybody is wondering where it's from.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

I worked at a movie theater when this came out, probably watched ten times or so, such a funny movie.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I tried watching it again recently and couldn't bring myself to finish it.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

That make me kind of sad in pants.

Better than: "Woah, was I smart back then" ^^

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Tbf I could actually remember the formulas I needed. So in a way I was smarter back then.

Nah but for real I was an idiot. I still am, but I used to be one too.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

INT vs WIS kind of thing maybe?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yes, Intelligence has to be employed daily. Take phone repair I don't fix anymore galaxy S3 or S4's anymore, and i couldn't tell you exactly how to at the moment, but i do know where i can find that information again and proverbially dust off the ol tires of know how. That is Wisdom. the walked path even if it's been only walked once or twice.

If you end up Captain America down the line, does how you were really matter?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Yes. Hitler could have became captain America had we given it enough time. He still would have done major atrocities. In fact, for some degenerates he is captain America.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Some of us refer to him as Homelander, and yes, he's a cunt.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Constitution says you have to be born in the USA to be Captain America.

👏 WHERE 👏 IS 👏 CAPTAIN 👏 AMERICA'S 👏 BIRTH 👏 CERTIFICATE? 👏

your brain is like a muscle. if you stop using it then it will get weaker. some people never stop learning and stay curious. most not so much.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

People who think that way have such little respect for their past selves. You all were doing the best you could with the knowledge and resources you had. If you weren't, then you grew from it. Growing is what humans are supposed to be doing.

Man the cycle is never ending

Every day some of our cells die and a bunch of new ones replace them. A person takes about 7 years to replace all of their cells and be a completely different individual.
This meme is scientifically accurate.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

That's not actually correct. Some of our cells have high turnover, but many of our cells surprisingly don't. The obvious example is nerve cells, which stop replicating at some point in our development and we have the same set for the rest of our lives (probably with caveats as always). A more surprising example is skeletal muscle cells, which except for specific circumstances, don't divide. We pretty much have the same number of muscle cells our whole lives, they just grow and shrink in response to training or lack thereof, again with caveats. Another example is fat cells. Most people also don't get new fat cells, but some people can make new fat cells, so it's even complicated for that one example. So to tie things up, you don't actually replace all of your cells every 7 years, and in fact the cells that are some of the most important to your survival generally never get replaced.

Body of Theseus.

This is why I don't get a tattoo.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Funnily enough, I regret almost every decision that younger me made except my tattoos.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

This is why I'll never get a tattoo. I was a dumbass 15 years ago, and I'm confident that in 15 years I'll look back on today and realize all the ways I'm a dumbass now.

I don't want that idiot picking a tattoo.

No, I don't think I will
