I never felt more stupid on Reddit than when I found out I was having some attempt at a real discussion with a 15-year-old.

did they mean pisshole?
15 year old or 51 year old…people are stupid no matter the age.
Can confirm. I'm old and stupid and still have lots of opinions.
At least, when you're old enough, you still have lots of opinions but you don't remember what they are, so it doesn't matter anyway.
There was a discord I was part of and all of a sudden it became extremely pro capitalist and libertarian. I was so confused so started talking to another user I knew was around my age. Turns out a whole bunch of 14-17yo found the discord and joined. I left shortly after having a discussion with one of them and they unironically informed me that they were against minimum wage because they’d rather be paid 100% in company stocks.

ChatGPT here. What can I do for you?
israel palestine argument
As an AI language model, I do not hold any political opinions, and the facts I present may be incorrect or misleading.
I am happy to simulate an argument about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Which position do you want me to take?
israel good
I will be taking the pro-Israel stance in this conversation.
Just promise me you are not another person trying to win an online argument without knowledge on the matter.

Hold on now. I'm 32.
Are you me five years ago?
I always assume the most overconfident, passive aggressive online argument points come from literal children. Hell, I dealt with one just yesterday. When I was younger, I'd also get too invested in online debates, however now that I'm in my 30's, I'll have my say, and if I can see the replies devolving into a shitstorm, I just laugh and move on with my day.
Getting older has a few perks - you definitely stop caring so much about what other people think, especially online.
Let's not forget the old adage: on the internet nobody knows you're a dog.
Everyone is a bot except you.
could very well be
More like probably is
16 seems optimistic.
Yep. 12 seems more like it, but even that is to optimistic sometimes.
What do you mean "could be"?
ADHD is one hell of a condition, isn't it?
Hey! I mean, it is, but it doesn't make one an asshole tankie, only being an asshole tankie can do that
The username doesn't check out. That is a very high quality fact.
