  • You just get more responsibility and are more liable for things. That’s pretty much it.

    You’re not an adult yet other than the legal definition.

    It’s going to take some time before you find yourself, but if you were artificially limited in pursuing that due to age restricted things (getting an apartment, signing a loan, etc.) then now you have the tools to go find yourself.

    But I’d hurry, not sure how much longer the world as we know it is going to last.











  • The OP to me was framing it in a way that “China Bad”, and that sort of thought terminating rhetoric is what gets us into terrible situations in the first place.

    Calling out that two western “bastions” of democracy like the US and UK are going through similar struggles right now, re-frames the comment to show how silly calling out China for this as if western countries don’t also have their flavor of the same thing, really is.

    Every country has their problems. Saying China doesn’t let you say bad things about China so that’s why you shouldn’t live in a country that pays for your healthcare, ensures its people aren’t starving, has a great educational system, amazing public transportation, is investing heavily in STEM, and is paying a wild salary rate while you’re there; is just a silly comment because there’s a lot of countries that don’t let you do that now, with more popping up every day.
