RCarr posted:It has nothing to do with your job. Most people work 9-5, which is about the same amount of time you go to high school for each day. What I was getting at was most adults have exponentially more responsibilities than they did as high school kids. I can't even imagine ever having as much free time as I did when I was in high school. I work 8-5, sometimes 8-6 if I need more money, but I’m living in a house that’s paid off so it’s only relatively cheap utility bills and taxes. What other responsibilities should I be having? School was 7 hours of classes a day, but with extracurricular activities I could be there for up to 12 hours and then had homework every day. Most of my “free time” was taken up with more schoolwork. I don’t take work home.

It's 35 hours in school versus about 40 at work, but without the 12+ hours per week of homework from my wall of AP classes and however many hours of orchestra practice, and I didn't even do sports or clubs. eugh dude, get over yourself chitoryu12 posted:I work 8-5, sometimes 8-6 if I need more money, but I’m living in a house that’s paid off so it’s only relatively cheap utility bills and taxes.

Nobody mentioned how much easier it is to learn stuff as a kid? When you are young, your brain is more malleable, you are more accustomed to situations where you have to sit and listen and learn. When you are an adult, you've already built up all these bad habits in your mind and learning something completely new takes considerably more effort and patience. Even the happy retired people I knew resumed hobbies or passions they had when they were young. None just picked up something brand new and went all-out on it to the point they'd make the same progress in five years that a kid would have made.

Being an adult who didn't make the colossal mistake of having kids early (or at all) loving rules. Sorry to all you dingbats that thought a kid would fix your lovely life but don't take it out on the world. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to drink a lot of gin on a Wednesday night and play violent video games.

It's called plasticity vs. "concrete" knowledge. One of the symptoms of senility or Alzheimer's is a change in musical taste.

Ackshully, Honor Harrington's treecat Nimitz isn't a phrenologist. He's a six-limbed telepathic alien COMPANION that adopted HER and their relationship forms the cornerstone of the SERIES. This is me, btw:

I'll have you know she was challenged to an HONORABLE DUEL by the COWARD who was hired to murder her FIRST ever LOVER and then proceeded to CHALLENGE and DEFEAT the killer AND the man who hired him and this picture represents the moment she went to the ship's SHOOTING RANGE to refresh her ANCIENT-STYLE .45 PISTOL SKILLS aboard the SHIP SHE COMMANDED. (I'll stop. I didn't even have to look any of it up. I'm not sure that's the correct cover, though. But she is wearing the Star of Grayson, so it seems like the right time period.)
