Mikufan, in The dumbest belief you had when you were a child?

I believed the world is cool and peaceful.

I thought adults knew everything,

I carried this belief up into my late teens when I started my apprenticeship as a crane technician. It was then I realised people only know what they’ve experienced before.

Gamers_Mate, in What are some Kbin/lemmy communties for lost media?

I found the lost media I was looking for btw. https://archive.org/download/gmimage-editor-test

GaryCooper, (edited ) in Has anyone used MLA format outside of high school ?

This format is actually used. In colleges and universities, especially in the humanities and social sciences, the MLA format is often used for coursework, for example. But students usually get lazy and decide to pay for essay writing, find https://ca.edubirdie.com/pay-for-essay-writing for help. In short, they can’t come up with anything. I would remove half of the formats altogether; they make no sense.

JohnsonSofia, in What is your best travel tip?

I would like to give one piece of advice to travelers: always plan your trips in advance and research the places you are going to visit. This will help you enjoy your trip to the fullest and avoid unnecessary hassle. And don't forget about the comfort of traveling! Thanks to GetmanCar , car rental has become extremely convenient, allowing you to freely explore new places without restrictions.

When I go back to read the stuff I write I think mostly "damn that guy sounds like a psycho"

Yes. Mostly about the “I can’t believe I wrote that”. What you’re doing is self-reflection, and that’s a good thing. It’s good that you can recognize things you’ve said before that you’ve learned from. I don’t feel like enough people do this.

“I’m a jack of all trades, master of none,” type of person. Most of the time old posts are a reflection of how far I have come, but occasionally they are a fun reminder of how deep I got down some rabbit hole in the past. I like it when they remind me of some detail I wouldn’t easily remember.

Most of the time I find them a little bit introspectively cringe, maybe a little less than they did a decade ago or more. I hope the reflective cringe is always the case, because to me, that means I continue to grow.

For me it’s less about smarter/dumber, and more about the way that I convey my ideas. I see older posts and sometimes I say “damn, I should write more like this”; sometimes “this is a fucking mess, I should’ve clarified better”.

Agreeing with pug, in fact I was going to use the same word. So, not to crib, only when I’ve made a surprisingly cogent argument.

Sometimes I'm surprised by how eloquent I can sound.

I'm rarely surprised by how stilted and incoherent I can sound. I'm used to that.

No I don’t think this happens to me.

"I'm a million different people from one day to the next; I can't change my mould, no no." — Bittersweet Symphony

We all show rotating aspects of ourselves, but we remain fundamentally the same. Unless something drastic happens that changes how those aspects present or function anyway.

(Maybe that lyric doesn't mean what I'm reading into it, but it's what I've taken from it. That's a funny thing about art.)

So yeah, I've looked back through comments I've made and realised that I knew something at the time that I'd since forgotten, and seen how smart I'd been - or how utterly cringe-inducing, and known that at some point, that if the cringe is bound to return, so might the smart. Hopefully. Maybe. Please.

There's also the fact that we distil ourselves down for a comment. Present the best side, or the best of the aspect we're going for. Even trolls do this. Unfortunately. So when we look back, not at all in the same frame of mind that we were at the time, it's like looking at the highlights of someone else's life on some other social media, not seeing everything else that's going on besides.

I probably won't remember all the edits and corrections I've made to this comment before submitting the first time. Only time knows how future me will perceive it, should I ever look back.

apis,
