- asveikau 7y agoProbably some teenagers have done important things. I don't expect them to have a long list of accomplishments (or even the same is true of most adults), but I am also not going to denigrate or take away from their experience with phrasing like "ain't done jack squat". Seems unnecessarily angry, and like a put-down.
- klysm 7y agoHaving research for the ‘well duhs’ is quite valuable
- tuesdayrain 7y agoIm surprised that "defining yourself" is even a thing that so many people seem to care about. It seems pretty unnecessary. I'm just ..me. If I was required to give a description of myself for some hypothetical reason then whether that description includes social roles, personality traits, or whatever would depend on the reason I'm being asked.
- Falling3 7y ago> It seems pretty unnecessary. Most of the things we spend most of our time on are, strictly speaking, unnecessary.
- qball 7y agoOf course, the fact that we make sure that they don't do anything, and discriminate against them when they try to break that expectation, has absolutely nothing to do with that.
