When did you first feel like an adult?
-
2023-05-15 at 5:07 AM UTCI had an adult phase when I was 21 fashion-wise and think being on the internet made me grow up faster but I was just in a chemistry class and felt like I that I could never be a part of the normal world others seemed to be in again and I thought everyone was immature. I guess loss of ignorance made me feel like an adult.

2023-05-15 at 6:01 AM UTCI used to stay home alone a lot so it was normal to me but one year, i remember it was winter time and I pretty much was alone all winter but had lots of supplies, I just copied my parents morning mode, I would make coffee and chug it all morning and turn on the morning news with the financial report and the coffee would make me feel REALLY AWAKE and there was like another hour before I had to go to school
so I would play video games or jack off and be all fucked up on caffeine , then I would basically do what I do now. SOmetimes I rode my bike to school which was several km away (I wouldn't be able to piss around for an hour at home though and watch cartoons and stuff) Sometimes my friends mom would pick me up and i would chill with him in the morning.
Everyone was really concerned I had no support structures so I was told to go to cerain places and check in with people. I just ran around playing video games being a retard basically, I struggle to remember a lot of the details as my life was very chaotic, I think I might have even taken my bike to the grocery store to get groceries.
I have been more or less in that mode ever since and looking back on it now I really had a lack of structure, good education, motivation or enthusiasm for anything.

Why were you left alone? Is that not illegal? -
2023-05-15 at 6:20 AM UTCMy parent's couldn't afford daycare basically and I think I said "lol I know how to make food and wake up and stuff" so i think they trusted me with a bunch of of money to not start a fire. I wasn't abandoned and my friend lived in the neighborhood,
I have no idea what my parents were doing at this time but I barely noticed they were gone because the last years in that house were wacky, so I just did my own thing.
I thought they were annoying, constantly being emotional because their high standard of living 90s living easy gravy chain all crashing and burning around them and losing a decade of progress, like having your family die in a car accident on christmas eve, except it was their financial stability.
it was weird they would try to half heartedly drag me into it so I can take part of the fractionalism, but I would just default to the christian "Honor thy parents" while all these adults yelled at each other over the dramas.
I remember playing with the BLEEP BLORP COMPUTER one time, which had no internet and I gained +1 skill in pirating data when I realized you could stick a music CD in a computer and my parents had like a gorillion CD/s and cassettes because they were high riding 90s with a surround sound hi-fi
Also windows XP pinball. It definitely felt like a sleek professional advanced capability machine beyond my understanding. I was convinced you could use a radio telephone or something setting swap trick in the computer to make it turn on internet SO I COULD LOOK AT BOOBS
There would be no totse text files for me that christmas
My personal favorite was the briefcase, in a time before USB thumbsticks and I didn't have a CD burner,
Ah yes, the future.
(my view of myself in the future, as a child, working for video games some day)

that was Grade 5 and 6 so anywhere from 10-12
Too much shit was going on at the time and I didn't pay attention to a lot of it mostly because everyone annoyed me, I hung out at my grandmas a lot and I have a weird memory of trying to start an operation buying/selling and cleaning hamster cages and accessories because I had a garage full and knew lots of ppl with hamsters so people asked me for help and usually at the end of it all the kids mom would hand me a $20, before I even set the prices for anything or knew what I was doing, so that was cool.

I did burn down a house and exploded it, as an adult. I think its a myth that kids will burn down a house, WITH WHAT?? I ate pop tarts, cereal, sandwiches, kraft dinner, I wasn't that much of a retard.
But as an adult yes I just have my 50 kilogram jug of paint thinner here and then smoke a cigarette and leave my george foreman oven on and next thing you know Bobby has to come in with the fire extinguisher because his dad wants him to PROTECT THE HOUSE
but when you're an adult you are usually the reason it burns down lolThe extension cord which the chandlers were using ran through the bathroom doorway, and every time the door was opened/closed, it wore off some of the plastic coating/insulation on the cord. Finally, overloaded and striped of its protective insulation, the cord sparked and started the fire. The fire wasn't electrical, it was a horde fire. If the fire had been electrical, the power would have been shut off much sooner than it actually was. If it hadn't been for that stupid bitch Barb's hording, and the general negligence/stupidity of the Chandlers, the fire never would have happened. All of Barb's shit she bought from goodwill over the years ended up burning down her family's home. It says something that it took the fire department about an hour and a half to put the fire out.
