Joke’s on you: my opinions are just as bad.
Replying to @Monument@piefed.world
Yeah? Well I also have shit opinions.
Replying to @the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world
I think mine are the best there is. I do have a problem with objective judgment though

Likelihood of teenager.
I do have a problem with objective judgment though
Evidence of self-awareness, personal reflection, and confidence enough to admit personal shortcomings: Definitely not a teenager.
D’oh 😖

So my opinions are automatically worthless just because I’m 19?
I didn’t say that, me not wanting to read them doesn’t make them worthless

minors not being listened to/having autonomy is the foundation of most things wrong with this world :(

Strong claim

You can debate me on it if you like…
I think a lot of you are projecting, lol
I love young people. My volunteer little sister just graduated and I used to work with trafficking victims. Listening to young people one-on-one is important and rewarding, I hope for both of us.
Reading a hasty thought from someone who doesn’t even know who they are yet every 30 seconds on the Internet on websites like reddit, where people skew really young, and taking that extremely seriously is not enjoyable, for adults or for them. And unfortunately, whatever stupid thing people say gets preserved on the Internet for WAY too long, all the more reason to disregard it quickly, but people really struggle with that online.

I’ve fucking known who I am since I was 12, no one would accept it or believe me or give me bodily autonomy or let me learn actually useful things instead of religion at school, or let me not wear religious and gender invalidating clothing
I’m really sorry you went through that

Replying to @TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works
Agreed
Replying to @TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works
Sadly, yes.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that age automatically makes one wise, but yes, inexperience does automatically make one naïve.
Replying to @TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works
Sadly that’s how some people think

Plenty of old people with stupid takes too
I still want to read bad takes, that’s not the issue here
Replying to @naught101@lemmy.world
Our current crop of old people sucks badly. I aim to grow wise and notmerely grow old
