Welcome to /eh/

Where everything is just... eh...

/eh/ is not for crying, /rnb/ is for crying.

Do you ever have moments in your life where you feel like youre in a sitcom?

When I was a little kid I did. Then I grew up a little and realized that sitcoms are notoriously bad and poorly written, and I should be able to do better than that with any effort at all.

No I've never had such moments. Maybe some day I will have one or even more of those, but it certainly seems that it is yet to be discovered and it is quite impossible to imagine what would that kind of a moment be like for me... since I have no experience, but that might be subject to change, depending on whether those sit-com moments will or will not be happening to me in reality sometime in future. Or, that's how I see it, I can be wrong of course, but I might be right as well, as there is no way for me to (or anybody, really, if you think about it) tell that, unless someone comes up with some way of knowing in advance, be that technological or based on some other form of knowing that we are still unaware of.

The government welds your door shut and then outlaws starting a business and living in McMansions, cars, skyscrapers, and tiny homes.

The governments bans body odor and then closes stores and bans delivery services.

The state closes bathrooms and then outlaws public urination.

The government closes the border and then arrests tourists for overstaying their visas.

Dear John, maybe it matters not you, but it saddens me that adults are very big on individuality, are resentful of extending it towards children. I notice that almost all parenting articles are black-and-white when it comes to dealing with kids. The very notion of giving kids breathing room makes people indignant.
People love to talk about how they want to teach kids to be a part of life, yet most of their "teachings" are nothing more than master-pet relations.

I notice that adults are very reactive to kids making mistakes or being casual/worldly, yet theyre ignorant/indifferent to bullying.

Adults seem to resent seeing kids in large groups, yet theyre irritated seeing them lonesome anywhere.
Kids whom are exiberant and curious are "disrespectful/annoying" yet kids whom are quiet and unresponsive are seen as "soulless".

It really makes you think does it? I thought adults were supposed.to be mature and humane.
But, mutual respect and reasonable persoanl free time is for adults only, huh?

IMO there's nothing wrong with that unless it's done in excess. Abstaining from fun things completely is a waste of a life. What matters is that they don't do it frequently enough that it becomes damaging.

Dear John,
Do you feel that most complaints about adulthood are just due to people not wanting to work hard for their own pleasures?

I'm not downplaying the difficulty of life, but, I notice that the people who complain the most about adulthood often are those whom have it all.
They aren't deep in debt.
They have a decent partner, decent house, decent job and everything.
They may have problems but those are caused by their own whims and are within management.

Meanwhile, kids and teens whom are awkward and have no freedom nor outlets are told that theyre in the easy mode stage of life.
Despite not being allowed to date, not being appreciated as fellow human beings, not allowed to fend off bullies, not allowed to spice up their wardrobe due to overbearing parents etc.

Even though my adult life is a flop, I feel that's more due to my awkwardness carrying over from childhood

In fact, I can say that most post pubescent flops are often those whom were never trained or rescued from mediocrity in their youth.

The only reason why you think that is because pop culture has taught you to assume that childhood is purely freedom with no inconveniences.

Adults who voluntarily fucked up their own lives with baby mommas/daddies stuck in dead end jobs and drug abuse to cope are over sympathised and never reminded of their agency of their life course.

John Smith 24/12/31(Tue)12:49 No. 49072

People who have a profound disability or are too poor to eat will complain about that instead of complaining about adulthood. They might also be under the illusion that life would be dandy if said hindrances went away.

But again, it shows that adulthood isn't really the problem.
People have been psychologically pigeon-holed to think that "adulthood = suffering, childhood = paradise". It really isn't.
It's the sociolegal treatments and impressions that make it seem so.

Also, how would life not be dandy if said people who suffered from poverty or disability were cured?

I saw a silica gel packet on the ground today. I realised that their appearance has not changed in any way since I first saw them as a kid in the 90s. The same exact wording, same font, same nonsensical quotation marks around "DO NOT EAT". It made me wonder, has the same factory been producing them non-stop for at least the last 30 years? Can you think of any other products that have retained their original designs over a significant number of years?

>Electric toothbrushes still literally the same as during the 90s.
Manual toothbrushes have changed, though. In the 90s they had hard, flat handles. Now they all have "ergonomic" curved, soft-grip handles. It's difficult to even find photos of the old style.

Hammering on a loose cast iron gate makes a cymbal-like ringing sound which some may find pleasant to the ear.

Others however, may not.

...

But that doesn’t change the fact that it does.

I know just what you mean, John. I have recently acquired a cast iron skillet pan, and it too, makes a pleasant ringing sound when it comes into contact with my tongs, while I'm flipping my grillings.

Well, at least it is pleasant to me.
