Been a long day, my first here in Costa Rica. Gonna go to sleep now.

My mom just 'fessed up to having emailed my professor to tell him that my birthday is next week (during this trip), I was wondering how he knew that. XD

She rightly guessed that there's a good chance I wouldn't have told anyone.

Yay!

I'll never forget the "sh** just got real" feeling of my 20th birthday. 😆

@RL_Dane @amin Did it? What's so different about that particular birthday?

@thedoctor @amin

No longer a teenager.
You're technically an adult at 18 (at least in the U.S.), but you're also eighTEEN. (And nineTEEN)

There's no teen in twenty. 😅

tivasyk,

@RL_Dane idk, modern twenty-years-old people seem more like twenTEENs then adults :-/

@thedoctor @amin

tivasyk,

i'll probably need to explain further: it's not as much the young adults' fault (naïvety and lack of responsibility) as the baffling complexity of the modern society and of the obligatory beurocratic procedures

imho, it is indefinitely more complex to survive in the «civilized society» of today than a century or two ago.

I don't know, society was remarkably deadly a century and a half ago.

I will say that things are far more complex and dangerous than they were sixty years ago, unfortunately.

@RL_Dane society is always deadly, that is not the point. it's deadly in different ways. come on, don't you understand what i mean? the number of young adults' suicides today in civilized societies is as much result of their deadliness as anything i could think of from the past.

@tivasyk

I see what you mean.

Why do you think that is?

It's almost as if there's poison in the air.
