  Insurance companies don’t bill people as adults until 26 because our brains don’t finish developing fully until then and we make poorer choices in a statistically significant way until then.

  So while the legal age of adulthood is often late teens to early twenties, the reality is you still probably act young in a way that older people pick up on.

  When I was 21 I felt like I was an adult. But I wasn’t even finished growing, and looking back from 40 I was young and dumb and it was obvious to everyone but me.

  There are many different accents across the US.

  Some of them very much pronounce the word “than” like others pronounce the word “then”.

  That’s not really how language… or humans… or culture… work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stat of the day⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a common mistake for many native English speakers and highlights the different challenges in speaking a language and writing a language.

  In many regions of the US for example, “than” and “then” are often pronounced exactly the same.

  I was assuming that there is a mile long massive rod bored into the side of that mountain, and it’s actually mounted to that.

  Lol, stable diffusion has rendered something that appears quite unstable!

  Thanks!

  What were they?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warcraft II: Remastered internal alpha spotted, hinting at an announcement soon – WGB⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty excited about that! I loved Warcraft II and never got into any of the warcrafts that came after though, and haven’t had great experiences with Wc2 on modern hardware.

  So I’d probably pay for a remaster.

  tl-dr;

  The things he said about me and the place I live are lies and I’m upset, but surely all the other things he says must still be true.

  Man I’m sure there is some culture I could have been raised in that would have resulted in me finding that appealing and all…. But I would probably vomit if I drank any of that.

  I’ve recently discovered that if you drill a hole in your lens cap and leave it on, that improves your aperture control. You should try it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I took a picture to share here⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like your picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once got screwed by my mortgage provider and was helpless. I submitted a complaint to the CFPB and they contacted my mortgage provider and made them make things right. That directly translated to significant money back in my pocket.

  Yeah if you go deep enough on an item there’s a good chance you’ll find that it was once something else.

  Sellers don’t want to start over with reviews so they just take a retired product entry and change the pictures and item.

  Completely agree. This distinction is immaterial in anyway other than serving up fuel to fanatics who will poorly represent his dissenters.
